It will offer £255m in extra funding to local councils for works to cut local pollution.
But the plan will not contain a vehicle scrappage scheme. And it will not mandate councils to charge dirty vehicles to enter cities.
Compulsory clean-air charging zones were identified by the government's own experts as the best way to tackle pollution.
And the decision not to include them in the policy leaves the government in breach of a court order to produce a comprehensive clean air strategy by the end of this month.
Ministers argue that it is better to have a scheme for tackling the worst pollution hotspots rather than rushing out a botched comprehensive strategy.
But clean air campaigners will accuse the government of failing to obey the court yet again, having already lost a case on this issue in April.
ClientEarth, the legal group which brought that case, previously warned it would consider going back to court if the government failed to meet its legal obligations to ensure clean air for people to breathe.
I understand that proposals for a diesel vehicle scrappage scheme have been resisted by the Treasury and Department for Transport.
They apparently think it is not a good use of money.
The chancellor has earmarked £255m for local authorities to spend on air pollution measures, and Defra is hoping there will be more in the Autumn Statement in the form of a Clean Air Fund for councils to share.
Ministers promise a full pollution strategy next year to tackle all emissions, including from construction, farming and gas boilers.
On the controversial issue of charging the drivers of old diesel vehicles to drive into towns, the government has to reach something of a compromise.
It hopes that as in some cities only a few streets are in breach of nitrogen dioxide limits, councils will be able to solve the problem by other measures - perhaps restricting dirty vehicles at rush hour.
I understand that if councils do not produce satisfactory plans themselves within eight months, the government will mandate them to impose charging zones.
But neither councils nor the government want to face the wrath of diesel drivers who were encouraged to buy diesel vehicles because they produced lower CO2 emissions.
The compromise may not satisfy councils in areas affected by pollution from other cities.
The deputy leader of Leeds Council, Lucinda Yeadon, questioned the point of Leeds imposing a charging zone, if nearby Bradford decided against one.
The pollution would be carried to Leeds on the wind anyway, she said.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There's no point Leeds taking one approach and another authority taking a completely different approach because we might counteract each other.
"We have called for a national Clean Air Act which shows the government taking responsibility as well as local authorities."
The government has not replied to this demand.
Ministers will confirm later that all new cars and vans will be zero emissions by 2040, with nearly all vehicles zero tailpipe emissions by 2050.
They acknowledge that those targets may well need to be revised for the UK to hit its laws on climate change.
But they say they are sending a signal to manufacturers.
Norway previously signalled the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine by banning the sale of new fossil fuel-powered cars by 2025.
The government will acknowledge in its plan later that poor air quality is the biggest environmental risk to public health in the UK, costing the country up to £2.7bn in lost productivity.
In the autumn it will issue a consultation to gather views on how to support drivers affected by local pollution plans, such as subsidised car clubs or perhaps even a "targeted" scrappage scheme.
The Clean Air Fund to be revealed in the autumn would introduce new measures such as changing road layouts to cut congestion, new park-and-ride services and better buses.

The message threatening to shoot the party's former deputy leader Anas Sarwar was left on the machine of his Glasgow office between 8 and 10 April.
Scottish Labour said the matter had been reported to police.
Police Scotland said it had no comment to make at this time. Mr Sarwar is standing to hold his seat for Glasgow Central.
The threat was condemned by Scottish Labour's current deputy leader, Kezia Dugdale, who said it had "no place in our society" but that it would not deter Mr Sarwar.
The musician was found dead at his home in Groton, Massachusetts, on Tuesday.
Local police, who had been called to the property to check on his welfare, attributed his death to natural causes.
Founded in 1967, The J Geils Band released 11 studio albums, among them the US chart-topping Freeze-Frame, before breaking up in 1985.
Centrefold, their biggest hit, topped the US charts for six weeks in 1982 and reached number three in the UK.
The song is known for its catchy intro and its chorus: "My blood runs cold/My memory has just been sold/My angel is the centrefold/Angel is the centrefold."
The band reunited in recent years for occasional appearances, including one at the Boston Strong concert that took place in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013.
In later life, Geils released a series of jazz albums while indulging his passion for restoring and racing cars.
Peter Wolf, the band's lead singer, said he was "thinking of all the times we kicked it high and rocked down the house" in a tribute on Twitter.
Musician Nils Lofgren also paid tribute, saying he and his former band Grin had "learned so much" while opening for Geils's band in the early 1970s.

The Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) will address proposals impacting more than 500 plants and animals.
But elephants are likely to top the bill with countries bitterly divided over the best way to protect the ponderous pachyderms.
The meeting lasts until 5 October.
Billed as the largest gathering in the 43-year history of the convention, the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP) will see more than 2,500 delegates from more than 180 countries come together in Johannesburg.
While there are proposals affecting lions, sharks, rhinos, pangolins and dozens of other species, the main focus will be on elephants.
There have been growing international concerns about the surge in poaching for ivory that has seen elephant numbers plummet by 30% in the past seven years.
And while Cites Secretariat has argued that there has been a slowdown in the trend, some new figures released at the meeting cast doubt on this view.
The Elephant Trade Information System (ETIS) is the world's most comprehensive database on the illicit trade in elephant products. It is managed by Traffic, the wildlife monitoring network, on behalf of Cites.
Speaking to BBC News, Dr Richard Thomas from Traffic said that new information presented at this meeting suggested that what appeared to be a downturn in illegal ivory activities in 2014 might have been a false dawn.
"The indications were that the 2014 figure, it looked like there was a drop, now the 2015 data has been put in there for ivory it is certainly at the level it was in 2012/13 and that's very disheartening," he said.
"We don't know what it means in terms of poaching but it's likely to be a fairly simple equation, with high levels of ivory meaning high levels of poaching."
At this meeting there are a number of proposals reflecting very different approaches to the elephant problem.
Namibia and Zimbabwe are seeking to liberalise the restrictions that see them prevented from selling ivory, even though the elephants in their countries are categorised as Appendix II, a lower level of protection that normally allows countries to trade in a species or its parts.
However, a counter proposal from a number of other African countries seeks to raise all African elephants to Appendix I to ensure there is no legal loophole for any ivory trade.
Several conservation groups are backing this tougher stand.
"There is no greater protection for imperilled species from detrimental trade than an Appendix I listing," said Iris Ho from Humane Society International.
"A continued split-listing of the African elephant is akin to a declaration by Cites to open the ivory trade for business. The conservation legacy of Cites is at stake, and so is the survival of the African elephant."
Many have also taken issue with the Cites Secretariat, who have advised countries meeting here to reject the up-listing of all African elephants to Appendix I, arguing that it might provoke some nations to opt out of Cites altogether and resume an unsupervised trade.
"The secretariat has over-stepped its powers in trying to influence policy before a proposal has even been discussed," said Robert Hepworth, a former chair of the Cites Standing Committee and now an adviser to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
There are other underlying factors that bring an added urgency to the discussions here on elephants.
Back in 2007 similar divisions on the issue of elephants ultimately forced a compromise at Cites, where a one-off sale of ivory was allowed in 2008 and all other proposals for sales were off limits until 2017.
"One of the parts of that deal in 2007 was that there would be a process devised, a mechanism would be established, to sell ivory and that hasn't happened," said Dr Thomas.
"The countries that signed up to it in the belief that they would be able to trade in the future, they don't want to see that part of the deal fall through."

Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, were killed in the Real IRA attack in 1998.
On Tuesday, the prosecution of 45-year-old County Armagh man Seamus Daly for the bombing collapsed.
Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris said there were currently no new lines of inquiry in the investigation.
"Police profoundly regret that we have, to date, been unable to secure a conviction for the Omagh bombing and that individuals and families in Omagh and beyond who deserve justice have yet to secure it," he said.
"As we have said before, what is needed is for those people who know who did this to come forward and tell us what they know.
"Police need people to make statements and give evidence. Without this assistance, any prosecution is highly unlikely but police will not give up."
The Public Prosecution Service decided there was no reasonable prospect of conviction in the Daly case. He was released from Maghaberry Prison on Wednesday.
The prosecution case was withdrawn after a key witness gave inconsistent evidence and contradicted his previous testimony.
The Omagh bomb was the biggest single atrocity in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
It happened just four months after the Good Friday Agreement was signed.
Hooker Ford, 33, set a new mark of 110 caps in Saturday's 27-22 defeat by Fiji - a match in which the forward scored his fifth international try.
Paterson, who played on the wing, at full-back and fly-half for Scotland, played with Ford at international level and at Edinburgh.
"It's an incredible achievement," said Paterson, 39.
"It's great for Ross to achieve that in a position that is confrontational, physical, hard work on the body - as every position is on the rugby field, but sometimes more so up front at the coalface, as they say. It's brilliant.
"I was lucky enough to play alongside him for a long time and take a lot of pleasure in his performances, so, I'm absolutely delighted that he's going to go on to do more.
"I think of some of his recent performances and they are some of his best - the two tries against Italy in Singapore, the game against Georgia in November, I thought he was outstanding - his ball carrying, he was dynamic.
"The second last game of the season for Edinburgh last season where Edinburgh played the Dragons at Myreside, it was an incredible finish. Edinburgh scored two tries in the final two or three minutes to win the game.
"He came off the bench, made a massive impact with two crucial tackles; turnovers, was carrying the ball, brought drive and determination - he transformed that game.
"The longer you're in the game, the harder it gets. More's expected of you, you have to deliver and that's why it's so impressive that Ross has reached these achievements, and there's more to come."
Fraser Brown replaced Ford in Suva and also crossed for Gregor Townsend's side.
And Paterson believes the increased competition at Edinburgh, who also have Stuart McInally, Neil Cochrane and George Turner available at hooker, has been good for Ford.
"It's driven him on to continually set the standards and be an outstanding player, which I think he'll be for at least a couple of years to come," Paterson said.
With 809 points, Paterson remains the highest points scorer for his country.
"The nice part is that you set yourself goals and if you achieve them, then you can be proud of these goals and I was delighted to reach the milestone of being Scotland's top points scorer but that'll be beaten at some point," he added.
"It may not be Fordie but somebody will beat it.
"If part of what I've managed to achieve in my career is set a target for somebody else to break then we'll all be happy because it'll mean Scotland are performing well."
Sameena Imam, 34, was last seen in Coventry on Christmas Eve.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said the body has yet to be formally identified but Ms Imam's family has been informed.
Searches were conducted this week on the allotment off Groby Road, Leicester, and the body was found on Friday.
A post-mortem examination will take place on Saturday to establish the cause of death.
Roger Cooper, 40, of Coventry, and David Cooper, 38, of Leicester, appeared via videolink at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday charged with her murder.
They have been remanded in custody with a provisional trial date set for the end of June.
Ms Imam was last seen outside wholesaler Costco in Coventry at about 16:00 GMT on 24 December.
She was visiting the store as part of her job as a regional marketing manager for Costco.
He was sent to the stand in his side's 2-0 defeat by Wycombe on 10 December.
The ban starts immediately, meaning Sheridan will have to watch Tuesday's FA Cup second-round replay with Peterborough from the stands.
The former Chesterfield and Oldham boss admitted on Monday that his job was under threat after six successive League Two defeats.
Notts are 20th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone having lost 11 of their 21 league matches.
After abandoning plans for a new ground at the University of West of England last week, Al-Qadi says Rovers will now look to redevelop their current ground.
The League One club previously hoped to build a new 21,000-capacity venue.
"If we study the Mem properly, we could regenerate and eventually provide the fans with something they have dreamt of," Al-Qadi told BBC Points West.
"If you look at it's size (of the land at the Memorial Stadium), it's kind of ideal. Our size is exactly the same as Everton's stadium. It's a beautiful piece of land, in the heart-bed of Rovers fans."
In 2011, Rovers had reached a deal with the University and Sainsbury's to build a new stadium, with further plans including the supermarket building a store on the site of the the club's Memorial Stadium in Horfield.
However, the supermarket chain pulled out following delays and petitions by campaigners for and against the plans, before Rovers lost a subsequent high-court battle in 2015.
Jordanian Football Association member Al-Qadi's family purchased the club in February 2016, shortly before the club won promotion to the third tier of English football.
Mr Trump, a New York businessman who is unpopular with many in his own party, is almost certain to be the nominee.
Earlier, Mr Cruz called Mr Trump a "liar" who was unfit to be president.
In the Democratic battle, Bernie Sanders is projected to beat Hillary Clinton in Indiana.
He trails Mrs Clinton in the all-important delegate count but after this victory he said the contest was still alive.
"Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They're wrong," he said.
What will Clinton v Trump look like?
As it happened - reaction to Cruz quitting
Indiana results as they come in
Mr Cruz's advisers had targeted Indiana as the Texas senator's best hope of halting Mr Trump's march to the nomination.
"We gave it everything we've got, but the voters chose another path," he told supporters in Indiana.
Turn out the lights, the party's over. Ted Cruz and the #NeverTrump movement threw everything they had at Donald Trump in Indiana, and it wasn't enough. It wasn't even close to enough.
They outspent him by more than a million dollars. Mr Cruz practically took up residence in the state for the past two weeks. He named Carly Fiorina as his running mate. Nothing worked.
If there was a defining moment of the Indiana campaign, it was Mr Cruz's fruitless attempt to reason with a group of pro-Trump supporters on Sunday.
Every argument he advanced was rebuffed. Every bit of evidence of Trump malfeasance was denied. Mr Cruz was shouting in the wind.
In the coming days there will be a great reckoning, as the party comes to terms with the prospect of Mr Trump as their standard bearer in the autumn. Some will make peace. Some will despair. Others will say "I'm with her" and reluctantly move to Hillary Clinton's side.
It will be an unprecedented spectacle in modern US political history.
The verbal attacks between him and Mr Trump had reached a new level of intensity on Tuesday.
Mr Cruz attacked the billionaire businessman as "totally amoral", "a pathological liar" and "a serial philanderer".
Mr Trump responded by calling Ted Cruz is a "desperate candidate trying to save his failing campaign".
But hours later, after Mr Cruz announced he was quitting the race, Mr Trump praised him as a "tough, smart competitor".
It is looking increasingly likely that Mr Trump will face Mrs Clinton in the autumn in the battle to succeed President Barack Obama, who will be leaving the White House after two terms.
But Republicans have expressed reservations about Mr Trump's outspoken remarks, which have offended women and Hispanics.
There are also concerns about some of his policies on immigration and national security, like building a wall on the southern US border paid for by Mexico, a ban on Muslims coming to the US and the killing of the families of terrorists.

The off-spinners were reported after the second day of the second Test in Mumbai, which India won by an innings.
They can continue bowling but must undergo independent analysis within 21 days.
Both have previously been suspended from bowling in international cricket for illegal actions.
However, they were allowed to resume bowling after undergoing remedial work and further testing.
Batting all-rounder Samuels, 32, was banned from bowling in February 2008 because his arm extended more than the permitted 15 degrees for off-breaks and quicker deliveries.
Although the Jamaican continued to play as a batsman, he did not resume bowling in international cricket until September 2011, having served an unrelated two-year suspension from cricket between May 2008 and May 2010 for passing information to a bookmaker.
Shillingford, 30, from Dominica, was reported after his international debut in November 2010 and banned a month later when his average elbow extension was found to be 17 degrees. He was cleared to return in June 2011.
The pair were reported in Mumbai by English on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nigel Llong, TV umpire Vineet Kulkarni and match referee Andy Pycroft.
Their report, handed to the West Indies team manager, refer specifically to Samuels's quicker deliveries and Shillingford's doosras.
Sacha Parkin phoned the NSPCC and gave them his details before describing violent acts he said he wanted to commit.
Parkin later told police he was "struggling to control" his thoughts and wanted support.
The 45-year-old was also banned from contacting children under 17.
Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told Dundee Sheriff Court that the operator called police, who attended Parkin's home in Auchterarder, Perthshire, the following day.
Miss Robertson said: "The operator was alarmed during the call due to the sexualised and graphic descriptions given by the accused.
"He said he lived beside a nine-year-old boy and that he found him attractive.
"He added that he watched violent porn including rape.
"When police went to his house he explained he dreams of raping and killing children.
"He said he was struggling to control his urges and that it was 'only a matter of time'."
Parkin, a prisoner at HMP Perth, admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner on 4 and 5 November last year.
James Baxter, defending, said: "I'm at pains to point out that this should be considered a cry for help.
"He was aware that these were not healthy thoughts and he wanted support.
"He said he knew they were wrong and wanted these thoughts to go away."
Sheriff Alistair Carmichael imposed a community payback order with three years supervision and psychological treatment.
He also ordered Parkin to undertake a sex offender's group work programme and imposed conduct requirements banning him from public parks and swimming pools and not to approach or contact children aged under 17.
Mr Modi was heavily invested in the state elections, addressing as many as 26 rallies in the eastern state.
But a regional alliance of socialist leaders - Laloo Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar - has triumphed in the end after a gruelling and high-pitched election campaign.
The alliance took 178 seats out of 243. The BJP won 58.
The key election made headlines in the Indian media and has been analysed extensively by commentators.
Pratap Bhanu Mehta writes in The Indian Express that the results are an indication that Mr Modi's "sense of entitlement that his persona is enough to claim the voter's allegiance has been broken".
"The election is also a wake-up call for Mr Modi. He seems to have now become a prisoner of his own mythology, where the gap between his own sense of destiny and his achievement is growing by the day," he adds.
BJP president Amit Shah has also come under criticism for his statement that people in Pakistan will burst crackers to celebrate the BJP's defeat.
"In India of 2015 there is no vote for beating up anybody, and that Pakistan and terrorism may be issues of great passion and partisanship on warrior news channels and Twitter but not in the world of real public opinion," writes Shekhar Gupta in the Business Standard.
Others have also highlighted how the BJP's stress on cow and beef consumption appears to have backfired.
"When the prime minister talks about the advancement of people, his party talks about the protection of the cow," writes Vir Sanghvi in the Hindustan Times.
Most commentators hope that Mr Modi will take a cue from the results and control his party members from giving "flammable statements".
"The atmosphere has now turned so ugly that many of those who supported Mr Modi because they believed he would lead a triumphant India into the 21C now wonder why he does not speak out against those who are dragging India back to the Middle Ages," adds Mr Sanghvi.
The Hindu advises Mr Modi to reconsider his strategy and focus on governance.
"The setback in Bihar should lead to some serious introspection by the BJP's top leaders, including Mr Modi and his cabinet colleagues... Indeed, the Hindutva agenda is in direct conflict with the economic agenda. Sooner or later, the core will have to yield to the pressures from the crust," it adds.
The Times of India echoes similar sentiments.
"BJP must refocus on fulfilling its 2014 promises. It has spent too much of its political capital trying to win power in states... It must refrain from divisive politics, lower the communal temperature and start doing the heavy lifting on development," the paper says.
Murphy, an alleged former IRA "chief of staff", was found guilty of tax evasion last week at the Republic of Ireland's non-jury Special Criminal Court.
Sinn Féin has called for the abolition of non-jury courts and praised Murphy's support for the peace process.
But Mr Robinson said a jury would have been "more susceptible to pressures".
Justice ministers in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have also defended the use of non-jury courts which are often used to prevent potential jury intimidation in paramilitary-related cases.
The issue was brought to the fore on Sunday, when Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said: "All citizens have the right to be judged by a jury of their peers."
"It is extraordinary a case involving a failure to complete tax returns is heard before a non-jury court," Mr Adams added.
But speaking to the Dublin-based radio station, Newstalk, Mr Robinson said that he believed it was "an altogether appropriate type of hearing" for the Murphy trial.
"The idea that you could have had a jury trial in such a case, of course, is just sheer madness," the first minister said.
Mr Robinson also told the Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, that he did not believe the outcome of the trial would have been any different if a jury had been used.
But he added: "I think a jury would have been much more susceptible to pressures."
Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, of Sinn Féin, told Newstalk: "Tom Murphy, over the course of the last number of years, last number of decades, has been absolutely invaluable to building support for the peace process in south Armagh.
"So I think the work that was done by Tom Murphy in that area was good work and that makes him, in my opinion, a good republican."
Mr McGuinness told RTÉ that a "very unhelpful narrative" had developed over the case and claimed it was motivated by people who wanted to "undermine" Sinn Féin ahead of next year's elections.
Murphy, 66, lives on a farm in Hackballscross, County Louth, that straddles the border with Northern Ireland.
He had denied nine tax offences but will be sentenced in February.
The new contract beginning on Wednesday involves the creation of 24 new jobs at the Scottish airline.
These posts include pilots and engineers based in Inverness and Aberdeen and ground handling staff in Orkney and Shetland.
The contract continues Loganair's existing mail service linking Inverness with Stornoway on Lewis and Benbecula.
The deal maintains its flights between Inverness and a Royal Mail hub in the East Midlands.
The contract also involves new responsibilities for linking Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Inverness
The hosts took only three wickets on the second day of the third Test at Edgbaston as Pakistan reached 257-3, trailing by 40.
All-rounder Stokes is missing the final two matches of the series with a calf injury sustained in the second Test.
"They can't move in the same direction or at the same speed," Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special.
"England miss Ben Stokes hugely - he's an in-your-face player.
"On a day like this it's been crying out for someone to do something different - and he does that."
Azhar Ali made 139 and Sami Aslam - playing his third Test - 82 for Pakistan, sharing a stand of 181 to give the tourists the upper hand, with the series level at 1-1.
James Anderson removed Mohammad Hafeez in the first over of the day and Chris Woakes had Azhar caught at first slip with the final ball of the last over.

However, James Vince's run-out of Aslam was England's only other success in the 90 overs bowled in conditions which offered the seamers less assistance than on the first day.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said captain Alastair Cook "doesn't have any real feel for the game - he just bowls them by numbers".
He told TMS: "Which England bowlers looked as if they might get wickets?
"Stuart Broad and Anderson are usually the best two bowlers, but sometimes you get on surfaces where other bowlers bowl better.
"Broad tried hard but he didn't make it go out - he didn't do anything except make the ball go in.
"Woakes looked a better wicket-taking bowler than Broad when he bowled from the commentary box end."
Anderson, who had Azhar dropped on 38 by Joe Root at second slip, was twice warned by the umpires for running on to the pitch during his follow-through.
The seamer, whose frustrations were visible, said: "The situation of trying to help your team get wickets... the distraction of running on to the wicket doesn't help.
"I had a bad half an hour; I got frustrated. It was unacceptable. I apologised to both umpires for my behaviour. If they want to take any more action it's up to them."
Azhar scored his first century outside Asia, hitting 15 fours and a six in his 293-ball innings, and celebrated by performing press-ups next to the pitch, as the Pakistan team did after winning the first Test at Lord's.
On falling to the last ball of the day, he said: "It was very frustrating.
"Being only two down as a team would have been good psychologically. Unfortunately it didn't happen. But it's always nice to score runs away from home."
Boycott added: "It's a credit to the discipline and patience Pakistan have shown.
"That's not normally the Pakistan way, but they have shown strength of character to change their game and grind England down."
The 39-year-old Warwickshire all-rounder intends to finish his career in September - at the end of his 20th summer in first-class cricket.
Maddy was with Leicestershire, his native county, for 13 years, during which time he played three Tests and eight one-day internationals.
He signed for the Bears in 2007, taking over as skipper within a month of his debut.
After relinquishing the captaincy at the end of the 2008 campaign, during which time he was recalled by England to play in the World Twenty20, he has carried on playing under Ian Westwood and Jim Troughton.
But he has so far been limited only to YB40 games this season, having made just one County Championship appearance.
"I realise that it's the right time for me to bow out and give more opportunities for many of Warwickshire's promising youngsters to come through and help build on the success of recent seasons," said Maddy.
"I've enjoyed a fantastic career, which I never thought would be possible when I signed my first professional contract with Leicestershire in 1991."
After making his professional debut in a Sunday League match for Leicestershire against Derbyshire in 1994, Maddy has since gone on to play 282 first-class games, as well as 361 List A and 87 Twenty20 appearances, compiling a combined 39 centuries in all formats.
Christina Edkins was attacked on board the bus on Hagley Road while on her way to Leasowes High School in Halesowen.
Her head teacher Neil Shaw described her as a "bright and popular student" who was "much loved by staff and students".
A 22-year-old man was arrested nearby on suspicion of murder.
West Midlands Police said officers had spotted a man acting suspiciously who fitted the description of the suspect and was arrested after a short chase.
Det Supt Richard Baker said the teenager's family were "distressed and distraught".
Police officers stood guard at the family's home near Birmingham city centre for much of the day, while specialist officers sought to comfort relatives.
Counsellors were also being brought in to support pupils and staff at Leasowes High School. The BBC's James Bovill said some were in tears as they left the school.
Mr Shaw said: "We are deeply saddened to hear this tragic news and our thoughts and hearts go out to her family and everyone who knew her."
Police said they would be checking Christina's profiles on social media websites as part of the investigation, but there was nothing to suggest she was being targeted.
Christina is understood to have boarded the bus minutes before the attack, which happened at about 07:40 GMT on Thursday.
The driver raised the alarm and attempts were made to revive the teenager, but she died at the scene.
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbing. They added that there was nothing at this stage to suggest the attacker and Christina were known to each other.
The 22-year-old suspect was arrested near the Morrisons supermarket at Five Ways at about 12:30 GMT, following a city-wide manhunt.
Another man who was earlier detained in the city centre by police has since been released.
Det Supt Baker said officers were now analysing hours of CCTV footage, including some from on the bus.
He said he believed there were some passengers on board at the time of the attack who had not yet come forward.
Officers patrolled buses and schools across the city on Thursday afternoon to help reassure people.
Detectives said the murder investigation was still in its "very early stages" and they did not want to speculate on the motive.
The bus was earlier removed from the scene and the road reopened.
A spokesman from National Express West Midlands said: "We can confirm that a tragic incident took place on a number 9 service this morning.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with the family of the person involved and we will offer all possible support to the police in their investigation into the matter."
Anyone with information can call police on 0800 096 0095.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) declared Kenya "non-compliant" on 12 May after it missed two deadlines to show it is tackling cheating.
If Kenya remains in violation of Wada, the International Olympic Committee could ban its athletes from the Games.
But Kenya's government said it "should have representation" at Rio 2016.
Were the country to be absent from the Games, it would mean some of the world's top athletes missing out on potential medal chances.
They include David Rudisha, who would be denied the chance to defend the 800m title he won at the London 2012 Games.
The country topped the medal table at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals.

After discussions at Wada's headquarters in Montreal, the organisation's director-general David Howman said he was confident Kenya could make the necessary changes to become compliant "very quickly".
"If the laws are amended as agreed today, I have no doubt Wada's compliance review committee would recommend the foundation board revokes Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya's non-compliance status," he added.
Kenya introduced new criminal laws as part of an anti-doping bill in April, creating a national testing authority and making doping an offence punishable by imprisonment.
That was widely expected to satisfy Wada, which had demanded changes after 40 Kenyan athletes failed drugs tests in a period since 2011.
David Were, chair of the Kenya parliament sports and welfare committee, told the BBC at the time he was "shocked" when Wada - which placed Kenya on a "watch-list" in February - instead downgraded it to "non-compliant".
A statement from the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya said Wada "commended Kenya for acting in good faith and demonstrating strong commitment by developing its anti-doping law; and, acknowledged that more than 80% of the law was in fact compliant with the code".
Some people have an innate ability to manipulate their vocal frequency to give their voice a richer quality, the US-based researchers said.
Such people can then apply additional vocal techniques to take advantage of this.
The researchers also found that political leaders with lower voices were perceived as more dominant and attractive.
Conversely, those who spoke with higher frequencies were viewed as submissive and benevolent. These findings are in line with previous research.
Controlling vocal frequency is an innate ability dependent on the size of a person's larynx.
A large larynx and long vocal fold result in a lower voice vibration. In a similar way, the same musical note will sound different played on a cello and a violin.
Leaders have the ability to manipulate their voices in order to be recognised as dominant figures, said Rosario Signorello at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who led the research.
"The internal characteristics of a dynamic or charming leader are always perceived through voice. Leaders use a charismatic voice to arouse an emotional state in their listeners," he told the BBC.
The common feature of a charismatic leader is their ability to manipulate their vocal quality in order to convey different types of charisma. In political speeches this can help persuade audiences, he said.
Speakers perceived as charismatic add inflection, harshness or other characteristics to align with their audience's expectation.
"This function is learned, dependent on the languages that we speak and filtered by the culture one belongs to," said Dr Signorello.
In the research, Dr Signorello changed the frequency of male politicians' voices from Italy, France, Portugal and Brazil, including Luigi de Magistris, Francois Hollande and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
More than 250 participants in his research were then asked to rate the voices with 67 adjectives such as dishonest, scary, dynamic, attractive, convincing and fair.
The perception of a speaker was also based upon cultural preferences and the language spoken.
For example, French participants preferred a politician with a medium vocal pitch, perceiving him as prudent, calm, trustworthy and fair. Italian participants preferred a lower pitch, viewed as authoritarian, determined and menacing.
But changing one's voice to become more charismatic is not simple. Aside from one important aspect of it being innate, Dr Signorello said it also depended what type of charisma a person was seeking to portray.
"Lowering the vocal pitch, or fundamental frequency, can help to convey dominance but also sexiness. And adding a harsh voice can help [you] to be perceived as a threat or as sexy.
"A male with a low, deep voice would be perceived as dominant by other males but maybe as sexy by females. In contrast a higher vocal pitch can convey submission (male speaker, male listeners) or sexiness (female speaker, male listeners).
"So there is no general recipe for being charismatic but in every culture there are ways to manipulate your voice to convey different types of charisma."
The research from UCLA's Bureau of Glottal Affairs was presented at the 168th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America.
Jan Schnupp, co-director of Oxford University's auditory neuroscience group said the work was interesting and fun. "Intuitively the research makes a lot of sense to me. Normally, larger people have larger, heavier vocal folds which vibrate more slowly, and therefore produce a lower fundamental frequency.
"So we associate deep voices with an impressively large physique. However, how fast your vocal folds vibrate also depends on how much muscle tension you apply in your larynx. Often muscle tone increases, and hence voice pitch rises simply when people get excited."

The report is understood to criticise the school for a policy of teaching boys and girls separately and segregating them at mealtimes.
Reporting restrictions mean neither the name nor the location of the school can be revealed.
The school has the backing of its local education authority in its attempt to stop publication of the report.
The school's interim board is disputing the report's findings and is applying for a judicial review to have it quashed.
On Tuesday, Mr Justice Jay, sitting in London, was told the school - which is in England - admitted pupils of both sexes between the ages of four and 16.
He heard how, from Year 5 (age 10 and 11), girls and boys were completely segregated for lessons, break and lunchtimes, as well as for school clubs and trips.
Barristers representing the school claimed documents suggested Ofsted inspectors had decided that segregation of pupils was unlawful, before visiting the school.
They outlined what they described as "pre-determined bias" against the school by inspectors.
Under cross-examination, the lead Ofsted inspector said some pupils had expressed unease about girls and boys being taught separately.
One girl told him it was "dumb" and another said it did not prepare her for life in Britain.
The school cannot be identified because a judge at an earlier hearing said identifying it could "generate a media storm and tensions and fears for parents and the local community".
Ofsted has told the BBC there have been four attempts this year for injunction or judicial review against one of their reports.
Of these, two were turned down. In one case, an injunction failed and the report was published, but the school is still seeking retrospectively to overturn the findings via a judicial review.
The fourth attempt comes from the school currently at the High Court.
If the judge rules that the inspection report cannot be published, the case could make it easier for other schools to block critical reports by inspectors.
TV pundit Williams claimed that Payne made "really poor decisions" and kicked too much in Sunday's 44-10 World Cup Pool D win over Romania at Wembley.
Cave, 28, said that he would have been "pretty annoyed" by such criticism.
"It can be frustrating when guys are just throwing out opinions which aren't based on facts," said Cave on Tuesday.
"Suddenly that becomes everyone else's opinion - the guys who've had a couple of beers and watched the game.
"Then after a week it's the perception of half the nation and it's just completely false.
"At the end of the day it can be frustrating at times but Jared will do the right thing, he'll keep his head down, he'll keep working hard and he'll keep playing well for Ireland."
Cave was Payne's centre partner in Sunday's game at Wembley after the the New Zealand native lined up in midfield alongside Luke Fitzgerald in Ireland's opening World Cup win over Canada.
"I actually thought the Canada game was potentially Jared's best game in green."
Cave was surprised by former Ulster coach Williams's complaints about Payne's kicking in Sunday's game at Wembley.
Williams's criticism of Payne, 29, followed comments from ex-All Blacks star Justin Marshall last week which described the Kiwi native as a "makeshift centre".
Prior to his move to centre by Ireland coach Joe Schmidt, Payne played the majority of his rugby at full-back.
"It's just opinion at the end of the day, it's not really based on fact," added Cave.
"I heard about him apparently kicking the ball away too much but I think he kicked the ball twice and both times it was penalty advantage, and both times we went back for the penalty.
"I really enjoyed playing alongside him when I was named at 12 and he was named at 13 beside me, I knew I'd feel very comfortable in there."
Williams made his comments about Payne in his pundit's role for Irish channel TV3.
In a tweet on Tuesday, former Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris vehemently disagreed with Williams's comments on the Ireland midfield.
The 23-year-old New Zealander has been playing at flanker following injuries to Calum Clark and Tom Wood.
"He has always had natural ability but that is not good enough at this level," Mallinder told BBC Radio Northampton.
"You have got to be a smart rugby player as well and I think that is what he has improved."
Mallinder added: "You also need physicality and Harrison played like a wild man in the first couple of years and got himself injured but he has worked hard on his physique and his tactics."
When Harrison was questioned about his recent improvement on the field he jokingly put it down to "just eating my greens!"
However, Harrison said 26-year-old Clark, who made his England debut against France in August, was offering offering advice to help with his game.
"Clark has been sitting down with me after every game and going through and telling me what I should be doing," Harrison added. "I have essentially been learning off the best."
The rail union RMT said it was balloting its 523 members over the proposed imposition of security contractors on trains.
The union said the company's move was made without agreement. The ballot closes on 2 February.
London Midland said it was "very disappointed" the RMT was threatening action.
More updates on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country.
A spokesman for London Midland said the security contractors are there to "provide extra eyes and ears" in support of the conductor.
"It is to look out for things like fare evaders, smoking on trains and feet on seats."
He added the staff would not be on every train and stressed the role is to "offer support" to the senior conductor.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The imposition of external contractors who have no additional skills or powers of authority to remove unruly passengers or fare dodgers is something we are totally opposed to."
London Midland said the proposed changes were in reaction to feedback from front-line staff and passengers.
A spokesman for the train operator said: "The security contractors are in addition to the senior conductors and have different duties.
"This is about safety. As we have told the RMT many times, we have no intention of removing conductors from our trains."
The RMT said it had been "left with no option but to ballot" after London Midland management failed to respond to its questions and proposals.
Witnesses have been describing the scenes of terror and panic as the tragedy unfolded, and the moment the police managed to stop and kill the driver of the truck.
Nader El Shafei told the BBC he looked the attacker in the face for about a minute before witnessing the final gun battle.
"We thought at the beginning it was just an accident," he said, "but then I saw him pulling out his gun and trying to shoot a group of policemen who were coming running towards him.
"I saw him for about one minute - face to-face - but he was not looking at me. He was looking out of the window, appearing very nervous.
"I kept yelling at him, waving with my hand, trying to tell him that there were a lot of dead people underneath his truck. But he did not give any attention to anyone outside the truck.
"Police killed him straight away - they didn't wait to negotiate - they just opened fire on him."
Latest updates
German journalist Richard Gutjahr witnessed the start of the attack and described seeing a motorcyclist pursue the truck and try to gain entrance to its cabin. But the biker fell off and was run over by its wheels.
"I stood on the balcony on the Promenade des Anglais, and saw people celebrating there [when] suddenly a truck drove through the crowd," Mr Gutjahr, 42, told the AFP news agency.
"Surprisingly, [the truck driver] drove very slowly and was chased by a motorcyclist.
"The motorcyclist attempted to overtake the truck and even tried to open the driver's door, but he fell and ended up under the wheels of the truck."
Simon Coates, a British lawyer on holiday in Nice, was cycling along the promenade with his wife back to their apartment after the fireworks when the lorry sped past them into the crowds. In the chaos he was separated from his wife.
"I turned round and followed the path the lorry took checking the people killed to see if she was one of them," he told the BBC.
"I had to check every body and they were so disfigured the only reliable way I could check was to look for her bike and her shoes as most people were not recognisable."
"People were disembowelled, stripped naked of their clothes, mothers sprawled on the floor next to their dead children; one person was wrapped up like a Swiss roll with his arms and legs sticking out from his body which was folded back on itself," he said.
"When I caught up with the lorry it was stationary and an armed policeman was pointing a gun at the passenger side; others were taking cover and getting people away as they suspected a bomb.
"I retraced my steps and thank God I found my wife unharmed at home."
US Citizen Julie Holland, on holiday in Nice with her two daughters, told The Guardian that she saw the truck driving at full speed through the crowds on the promenade.
"We heard screams, and people started running into the restaurant," she said. "We hid in the kitchen, behind a stove.
"As soon as the gunfire stopped we went through the back door to a hotel down the street. A policeman eventually escorted us back to our hotel at around 3am. There were bodies everywhere. My daughters saw bodies. Lots of them."
Pouya from Toronto in Canada told the BBC that people were enjoying the carnival atmosphere on the promenade created by a firework display and a jazz band when he heard "lots of screams" and people running in different directions.
"I didn't know what was going on, it felt surreal and I didn't move but thought it must be some kind of practical joke.
"Then I saw the truck coming straight at me swerving all over the place. It was perhaps 50 yards away. After that there was no conscious thought, my body took over, time slowed down and I ran and thank God I got out of the way.
"I jumped into a doorway and a very nice Frenchman let me and about 15 other people into his apartment. We stayed in there for a while and then when it was safe we left. There were lots of panicked people, dead bodies were in the street and there were police everywhere."
Nice resident Ak told the BBC that he and his wife were walking near the Palais de la Mediterranee hotel about 10 minutes after the firework display when he spotted the speeding truck coming towards them.
"We literally had one or two seconds to get away and I just managed to push me and my wife on the pavement," he said.
"We looked back and there was carnage, absolute carnage, and went back to try and help the people on the floor and then we heard the gunshots so we of course decided to run for cover."
Imad Dafaaoui, a Moroccan university student, told ABC News of his close brush with death.
"I saw a huge truck, crushing over people," he said. "Some people were trying to get out the way. Some people were in shock. I started to run away. I was in shock.
"I couldn't even think. I was running. There was a bench in front of me, so I had to jump over it, so I jumped over it and fell over on a woman.
"That's when the truck was coming toward me. I just closed my eyes. It was so close. I was just waiting to die. The truck was really close to me. [It] crashed [into] the bench. It was 20cms away from me.
"I'm really glad that I'm alive."
Paddy Mullan, from Northern Ireland, told the BBC that he had "never seen" such fear.
He said the truck "came out nowhere" and started "ploughing" into the crowd.
"This lorry just mounted the kerb, across the street from us and the next thing, all you could hear was banging and shouting and screaming," he said.
"There was a lot of confusion, misdirection, because we didn't know what exactly was happening, why it was happening."
Mr Mullan said he and his girlfriend "bailed out" of the restaurant through a side exit in order to get to a safer position, going through barriers into an apartment complex behind the building.
"We were pushing all the buzzers to try and get into the apartment blocks," he said. "Eventually we got in."
Kayla Repan, a visitor from the US, was among the hundreds who had gathered to watch the celebrations and fireworks. "The whole city was running," she told Associated Press. "I got extremely frightened and ran away from the promenade. It was chaos."
Damien Allemand, a journalist with the local newspaper Nice Matin, was at the waterfront after the fireworks had finished.
"A fraction of a second later, an enormous white truck came along at a crazy speed, turning the wheel to mow down the maximum number of people," he said.
"I saw bodies flying like bowling pins along its route. Heard noises, cries that I will never forget."
British tourist Kevin Harris was in a hotel overlooking the scene of the tragedy.
"I heard a lot of screaming and shouting," he said. "I came out onto my terrace and in front of me I could see lots of what appeared to be bodies lying on the road just outside of where I'm sitting now actually."
London-based Lawyer Harjit Sarang and her children were among those caught up in the terror. She tweeted:
Another witness, Tarubi Wahid Mosta, posted a video on Facebook which showed photos of an abandoned doll and pushchair. He said that he had come home with a victim's Yorkshire terrier.
"I almost stepped on a corpse, it was horrible. It looked like a battlefield," he said, while describing the sense of helplessness surrounding the carnage.
"I live 200 metres from the promenade and it took nearly one and a half hours to get back to my flat because all the roads have been closed down," BBC producer Roy Calley said as news of the attack unfolded.
"The police have completely taken over the city, the promenade has now been closed down. Everybody was physically pushed away from the site and told to get back in no uncertain terms by the police.
"It had been a normal evening and we were just walking around," Joel Fenster told the BBC. "Suddenly people started running, there were screams and police sirens and policemen shouting at us to evacuate.
"It was terrifying, especially because we didn't know what was going on. At the time we only had heard some kind of gunshots and we assumed that there were people running around with guns.
As well as cutting down on cyberbullying, there are fears young people do not know they could be breaking the law by sending sexual images.
It comes as Safer Internet Day is highlighting online safety.
A new survey found 30% of 11-16-year-olds experienced unkind online behaviour in the last year.
And 75% of youngsters blocked someone.
The ResearchBods study also looked at how much time young people were spending online, with 55% saying they interacted with their closest friends several times an hour.
Police have started warning teenagers of the legal aspects of what they text - and aim to have visited all schools by the end of the year with the "Think Before You Click" message.
One of those going into schools is PC Richard Norris, of South Wales Police.
He said sharing explicit material can be an offence in itself, even if you are not the originator.
"One click can have a massive impact," he said.
"The knock on effect it has with jobs, career, the embarrassment or even to the extent of someone hurting themselves over it. We want to reduce and stop this."
The NSPCC has a Share Aware campaign aimed at parents of eight to 12 year olds.
The children's charity says its own survey in 2013 found 40% of teenagers had created a sexual image or video.
Meanwhile, pupils, teachers and parents are meeting politicians at the Senedd to push for online safety to be taught in schools.
The Welsh government has also organised e-safety awareness raising activities in schools across Wales
First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "While we actively encourage young people to embrace the internet's huge potential, it's vitally important they are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to do it safely and responsibly."
"The research we did recently, which is in my book, found that kids aged 9-12 and then 13-17 don't quite understand where they cross the line from jokes and flirty fun when sexting or distributing intimate images to where they are actually breaking the law.
"It's everybody's responsibility. If it involves classmates there's an obligation to the school but it's important that parents are involved.
"We need to start looking at the bigger picture and to look at rape culture, to look more deeply at the roots of cyber bullying and sexting.
"Research has always focused on children's behaviour online but we need to look at the systemic forms of misogyny, homophobia and discrimination - these are the forms that sexting and cyberbullying are rooted in and adults are the worst models of this.
"Until we address what adults are doing we really can't blame the kids for copying us."
ABC News reported that DNA, found on food near the campsite, is linked to the two escapees.
A pair of prison-issue underpants was also found in the cabin, according to the New York Times.
The two escapees, Richard Matt, 49, and David Sweat, 35, disappeared 17 days ago on 6 June.
The discovery has shifted the search to an area 20 miles (32km) west of the site of the prison break.
They escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, through tunnels, using power tools to escape from their cells.
"We have recovered specific items from cabins and forwarded them to labs and got conclusive information, but we will not confirm what it found," said New York State Police Major Charles Guess at a news conference on Monday.
Police had been searching heavily on a rural area close to the Pennsylvania state line on Monday in Friendship, 300 miles (480km) south of the prison.
On Saturday police responded to a sighting of two men walking along a railway in the area. That sighting is still unconfirmed.
"No lead is too small for us to investigate," Mr Guess said.
Prison employee Joyce Mitchell has been arrested for possibly helping them escape and giving the pair the tools.
Ms Mitchell was planning on meeting the duo with a getaway car, but changed her mind.
Matt was sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping and dismembering his former employer in 1997. Sweat was serving life without parole for killing a sheriff's deputy in 2002.
Pakistan-born Khuram Butt, 27, and Rachid Redouane, 30, both from Barking were the other two attackers.
Two more victims have been been named - Australian nurse Kirsty Boden, 28, and French national Alexandre Pigeard, 27, died in Saturday night's attack.
They were among seven people killed - 48 were also injured - before the three attackers were shot dead by police.
Zaghba, Butt and Redouane drove a hired van into pedestrians on London Bridge at 21:58 BST before stabbing people in the area around Borough Market.
Armed officers killed all three within eight minutes of receiving a 999 call.
The Metropolitan Police said Butt had been subject to an investigation in 2015, but there had been no suggestion this attack was being planned.
In other developments:
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group has said its "fighters" carried out the attack.
An Italian police source has confirmed to the BBC that Zaghba, who lived in east London, had been placed on a watch list, which is shared with many countries including the UK.
In March 2016, Italian officers stopped Zaghba at Bologna airport and found IS-related materials on his mobile phone. He was then stopped from continuing his journey to Istanbul.
Redouane was a chef who also used the name Rachid Elkhdar and police said he claimed to be Moroccan-Libyan. He married a British woman in Dublin in 2012 and lived in Rathmines in the Irish capital.
Butt featured in a Channel 4 documentary last year about Islamist extremists with links to the jailed preacher Anjem Choudary called The Jihadis Next Door.
The married father-of-two, who worked for London Underground as a trainee customer services assistant for nearly six months last year, could be seen in the programme arguing with police officers in the street, after displaying a flag used by IS in a London park.
Two people in Barking, east London, had also raised concerns about Butt, BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani said.
Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Mark Rowley said an investigation into Butt began in 2015, but "there was no intelligence to suggest that this attack was being planned and the investigation had been prioritised accordingly".
At any one time there are about 500 active counter-terrorism investigations concerning 3,000 people of interest.
So far four of those killed in the attack have been named.
Ms Boden worked as a senior staff nurse at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London. Her family have described her in a statement as an "outgoing, kind and generous person".
"We are so proud of Kirsty's brave actions which demonstrate how selfless, caring and heroic she was, not only on that night, but throughout all of her life," they added.
The hospital said that Ms Boden was "an outstanding nurse and a hugely valued member of the staff team in Theatres Recovery, described by her colleagues as 'one in a million' who always went the extra mile for the patients in her care".
Canadian national Chrissy Archibald, 30, was the first victim to be named. Her family said she had died in her fiancé's arms after being struck by the attackers' speeding van.
The family of 32-year-old James McMullan, from Hackney, east London, say they believe he also died.
Mr McMullan's sister said he was believed to be among those who died, after his bank card was found on a body at the scene.
A French national was also killed in the attack, according to foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, which the BBC understands to be Mr Pigeard.
Manager of the Boro Bistro, Vincent Le Berre told the Brittany news outlet Le Telegramme how his colleague was attacked in a bar near Borough Market.
"I managed to escape him, but my friend Alexandre did not have that chance," he said. "He was hit in the neck with a knife."
The Met have set up a casualty bureau on 0800 096 1233 and 020 7158 0197 for people concerned about friends or relatives.
Frank Field warned students receiving their A-level results against pursuing "any old degree" and said vocational training could lead to better jobs.
He called for a rethink of careers advice given to 16 and 17-year-olds to avoid students being "sold a pup".
The government said universities "deliver extraordinary returns" for students.
Mr Field, a free-thinking former minister, who graduated from Hull university with a degree in economics, is chairman of the influential Commons Work and Pensions Committee.
In his article for the Times Educational Supplement, he wrote: "As we reflect on this year's A-level results, many sixth formers all over the country are mis-sold a graduate career, when the right advice, in terms of pay and happiness, is to take an apprenticeship.
"There is already a growing unease among young graduates who feel they have been ripped off."
He added: "This mis-selling scandal is so strongly embedded that it is countering any appetite across the country for alternative routes into jobs that pay decent wages and offer healthy prospects for progression."
Mr Field argued that apprenticeships could provide a better route into work for some school-leavers and they could earn more than some graduates.
"A large number of students have been sold a pup," he alleged.
His comments follow recent criticism of the cost of degrees from Labour peer and former government adviser Lord Adonis, and Theresa May's former chief of staff Nick Timothy.
Mr Timothy has argued that successive governments had assumed that an increase in university graduates would boost economic growth, when technical qualifications were more likely to boost productivity.
However, an organisation which aims to help low-paid 16 to 30-year-old women out of poverty, criticised the way apprenticeships were offered to women.
"It's right that apprenticeships should be taken more seriously as an alternative to university degrees," said Carole Easton, chief executive of the Young Women's Trust.
"They have the potential to be a great route out of poverty and into fantastic careers. At present, however, gender stereotypes and a lack of support shut women out.
"While men are encouraged into industries like engineering and construction, women are expected to go into beauty, administration and care - where they are often paid less, given less training and are less likely to get a job at the end of their apprenticeship."
Speaking to the BBC as A-level results came out on Thursday, Universities Minister Jo Johnson said: "Universities continue to deliver extraordinary returns for people who go.
"On average, if you're a woman, you're likely to have higher lifetime earnings than women who don't go."
An association representing school heads rejected Mr Field's criticism of careers advice for teenagers.
"Schools work incredibly hard to prepare young people for whatever route they want to pursue," said Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders.
However, he added: "Apprenticeships may be a more attractive option than university for many young people, particularly given the cost of university.
"So the more information we can give students about the range of options available, the better."
In April the government introduced a levy on employers to boost funding for workplace apprenticeships.
Labour has proposed allowing people to retrain for free at any point during their working lives.
Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: "Labour's national education service would provide free lifelong learning through further education colleges as well as abolishing university fees, so that everyone could benefit from different forms of education throughout their lives."
The Utrecht University Medical Centre said a "procedural error" between April 2015 and November 2016 was to blame.
Half of the couples who underwent treatment are pregnant or have already had children. They have been informed, the medical centre said.
"The UMC's board regrets that the couples involved had to receive this news," the centre said in a statement.
The statement said: "During fertilisation, sperm cells from one treatment couple may have ended up with the egg cells of 26 other couples.
"Therefore there's a chance that the egg cells have been fertilised by sperm other than that of the intended father."
Although the chance of that happening was small, the possibility "could not be excluded," the centre added.
The technique at the centre of the mistake involved a single sperm being injected directly into a woman's egg with a pipette. It is called Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and differs from in vitro fertilisation.
From April 2015 to November 2016, one of the lab technicians is believed to have used an inappropriate pipette to inject the sperm.
Although the pipette was changed each time, the technician used the same rubber top until he found traces of sperm in it and raised the alarm. The rubber top would normally have a filter, but in this case it did not, a hospital spokesman told the BBC.
Of the 26 couples involved, nine have had children and four women are pregnant. The other 13 embryos were all frozen.
All the couples are due to meet doctors from the centre in the coming days and will be offered the option of a DNA test.
The UMC carries out up to 700 ICSI procedures every year.
Dutch fertility support group Freya reacted with shock to the news. "Wanting a child is a very delicate thing, especially when it doesn't involve the normal bedroom way. So people need to have 100% confidence in the method they adopt," it said.
In 2012, a Singapore mother sued a clinic after it mixed up her husband's sperm with that of a stranger.
The woman, who was ethnically Chinese, suspected something was wrong when her baby had markedly different skin tone and hair colour from her Caucasian husband.
Hamilton's Mercedes team-mate and title rival Nico Rosberg, fifth fastest, crashed late in the session, misjudging his entry to Turn 18 and wiping off his front wing.
Red Bull's pace seemed to underline predictions they could challenge for victory around the Marina Bay street track.
But they set their fastest times on quicker tyres than those used by Mercedes.
Hamilton and Rosberg set their quickest laps on the slowest 'soft' tyre, while Red Bull and Ferrari - for whom Sebastian Vettel was third fastest - were on the fastest 'ultra-soft'.
Vettel was 0.464 seconds off the Red Bulls, who were separated by only 0.049secs
In theory, there is as much as 1.2 seconds between the two tyres, while Hamilton was only 0.603 seconds off the pace, with Rosberg 0.087secs further adrift.
However, Mercedes tend to struggle to gain as much time on the softest tyres as other teams, so the stage does appear set for a closer-than-usual fight this weekend.

And the first session is a notoriously inaccurate predictor of form for this race, as it starts during daylight and ends after dark, whereas qualifying and race both take place under lights after sunset in the south-east Asian city state.
Hamilton heads into the race two points ahead of Rosberg with seven races to go, after consecutive victories for the German in the previous two races in Belgium and Italy.
The top three teams were well clear of the rest, with Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz more than a second off the pace in sixth fastest ahead of team-mate Daniil Kvyat, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, Williams' Felipe Massa and Haas' Esteban Gutierrez.
Fernando Alonso was a slightly disappointing 11th fastest for McLaren at the start of a weekend where the team expect an upturn in form and to be well inside the top 10.
But the Spaniard - who along with Hamilton and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg did some running early on with the development 'halo' head protection system - was well clear of Jenson Button.
The Englishman, who may well be heading into the final seven races of his career after deciding not to race in 2017, was five places and 1.4secs off Alonso, complaining of poor grip, understeer and slow gear shifts - although he ran on the soft tyre while Alonso was on the super-softs.

Ann Clwyd, Labour MP for Cynon Valley, wants MEPs to allow UK citizens to vote on any Brexit deal after negotiations are concluded.
She is also calling for protections to be put in place for UK citizens working in EU countries and EU citizens here.
The UK government said it wanted to protect the status of EU nationals already in the UK.
Under Article 227 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union any citizen can petition the European Parliament.
Ms Clwyd said: "If a majority of the European Parliament don't like it they can in effect veto negotiations. I think that's a very big power.
"When the true implications of withdrawal are known a lot of people will change their minds."
Ms Clwyd is also urging MEPs to invite Prime Minister Theresa May to address them.
She said: "The referendum was advisory and we should have looked at the advice, but still properly considered the implications of leaving the EU, which weren't clear to any of us - elected politicians didn't know."
"We here in the UK parliament are still finding out about it. We know, just in the last few days, we may have to pay an enormous bill if we exit the EU."
Leaving the EU would be detrimental to the Cynon Valley and the rest of Wales, she added.
A spokesman for the Department for Exiting the EU said: "The prime minister has been clear we want to protect the status of EU nationals already living in the UK.
"The only circumstances in which that wouldn't be possible is if British citizens' rights in the EU were not protected in return." | A senior Scottish Labour politician has had a death threat left on his answering machine, the party has said.

Arjen Robben put the home side ahead when he cut inside from the right channel to curl into the far corner.
Robert Lewandowski tapped in when Arturo Vidal's deflected shot fell to his feet inside the six-yard box, adding the third when he diverted Muller's long-range shot past away keeper Diego Benaglio.
The victory was sealed when Germany forward Muller scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season before substitute Douglas Costa rifled in a cutback for the fifth.
"Of course I'm delighted for Thomas. But he does a good job on the pitch even when he doesn't score," said Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Bayern, aiming for a fifth successive Bundesliga title, started the weekend three points adrift of surprise leaders RB Leipzig.
But Ancelotti's team moved back to the summit after the leaders, who lost 1-0 at bottom club Ingolstadt, suffered their first top-flight defeat.
Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes after coming on as a substitute during the same fixture last season - and the Poland striker again helped put five past the visitors.

The disease is so hard to treat that survival rates have barely changed for decades.
But data, presented at the world's biggest cancer conference, showed long-term survival could be increased from 16% to 29%.
The findings have been described as a "major win", "incredibly exciting" and as offering new hope to patients.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers, with patients often given just months to live after diagnosis.
It is aggressive, resists treatment and, because pancreatic tumours cause nondescript symptoms, is often found only after it has spread throughout the body.
In the UK alone, 9,400 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 8,800 die from the disease each year.
The trial on 732 patients - in hospitals in the UK, Sweden, France and Germany - compared the standard chemotherapy drug gemcitabine against a combination of gemcitabine and capecitabine.
The results, released at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual conference, showed that average survival times increased from 25 to 28 months.
But there was a far more dramatic impact on long-term survival with 29% of patients alive for at least five years with combination therapy compared with 16% normally.
There was no difference in side-effects.
Prof John Neoptolemos, from the University of Liverpool, who led the study, said: "This important trial shows that this drug combination could give pancreatic patients valuable extra months and even years and so will become the new treatment for patients with this disease.
"The difference in short-term survival may seem modest but improvement in long-term survival is substantial for this cancer.
"This drug combination will become the new standard of care for patients with the disease."
It is not entirely clear why there is the difference in survival rates, but one idea surrounds the new drug being less toxic allowing patients to tolerate higher doses.
Alex Ford, chief executive of Pancreatic Cancer UK, said: "These are incredibly exciting results from a major trial for those diagnosed with this dreadful disease.
"The outlook for pancreatic cancer has been grim. With few treatment options, survival rates have barely changed in 40 years in the UK. Currently just 5% of pancreatic cancer patients can expect to live for five years.
"At the same time, incidence is set to soar by a third to more than 12,000 people being diagnosed every year by 2030.
"The possibility of increasing survival for those who have undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer will give great hope to hundreds of patients and their families who may benefit. The importance of clinical trials to help transform the outlook for pancreatic cancer cannot be over-estimated.
"We now need to see these results quickly translate to a change in approach by clinicians so that patients start to benefit more widely straightaway."
The study was funded by the charity Cancer Research UK.
Its chief clinician Prof Peter Johnson said: "Pancreatic cancer remains a very difficult disease to find and treat.
"Despite this, we are making steady progress, through trials like this one, where the use of better chemotherapy after surgery was able to increase the number of people surviving the disease."
Around 340,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year with the highest incidence in North America and Europe.
Dr Smitha Krishnamurthi, from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, said: "Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most hard-to-treat cancers.
"It is a major win to find that adding a generic chemotherapy not only improves survival for these patients, but does so with little effect on patients' quality of life."

Salto the robot can perform multiple vertical jumps in a row - making it a champion robot athlete.
Bush babies, or galagos, can jump five times in four seconds, to reach a combined height of 8.5m.
Writing in Science Robotics, the researchers say the prototype could be used for search and rescue in disaster zones.
The bush baby (Galago senegalensis) is a nocturnal primate native to Africa. It has the unusual ability to store energy in its tendons, enabling it to jump to heights not achievable by its muscles alone.
Duncan Haldane and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, describe the bush baby's special skill as "vertical jumping agility".
To compare robots and animals, the roboticists developed a new metric to measure vertical agility.
This is defined as the height something can reach with a single jump in Earth gravity, multiplied by the frequency with which that jump can be made.
Their robot is 26cm tall and weighs 100g. A motor drives a spring, which loads via a leg mechanism to create the kind of crouch seen in the bush baby.
Salto mimics the way energy is stored in the tendons of the nocturnal mammal, which means it doesn't need to wind up before a jump. As soon as it leaps, the robot is ready to go again.
With a vertical jumping agility of 1.75 metres per second (m/s), Salto was able to achieve 78% of the bush baby's score; the mammal has a jumping agility of 2.24 m/s.
However, the Californian-built robot was able to beat a bullfrog on the same metric.
"By combining biologically inspired design principles with improved engineering technology, matching the agile performance of animals may not be that far off," said co-author Prof Ronald Fearing.
The research has been backed by the US Army Research Laboratory among other funders.

The firm, which has 126,000 staff, will reduce layers of management, it said.
Dalton Philips, Morrisons' chief executive, said the changes would "lead to simpler, smarter ways of working".
The former chairman, Sir Ken Morrison, told the BBC that the announcement was "very disappointing" and that a more hands-on approach was needed.
"Shop in your own shop, talk to customers and don't make presidential visits - go as an ordinary member of the public," he said.
Earlier this month he also attacked the chief executive at the company's annual meeting, telling shareholders he thought the results were "disastrous".
Morrisons said it had tried out the new structure and that it led to better performance.
Mr Philips said: "This is the right time to modernise the way our stores are managed. These changes will improve our focus on customers and lead to simpler, smarter ways of working."
The roles at risk include department manager and supervisory positions in stores, says the company.
The supermarket will also create 1,000 jobs in Morrisons M local convenience stores and 3,000 in new supermarkets. Morrisons will "look to offer displaced colleagues the opportunity to work in these growing businesses", it said.
Joanne McGuinness, Usdaw's national officer representing Morrisons workers, said: "The next few weeks will be a worrying time for our members in Morrisons and we will do everything possible to support them. Today marks the start of a 45-day consultation period, where we will look in detail at the company's business case.
"Our priority will be to safeguard as many jobs as possible, maximise employment within the business and get the best possible outcome for our members affected by this restructuring."
The changes come amid increasing pressure on Mr Philips after the Bradford-based chain posted an annual loss of £176m in the year to February and recently announced a 7.1% drop in quarterly sales.
The supermarket has already announced £1bn in price cuts over three years, launched an online operation, expanded its presence in the convenience store sector and moved to update antiquated IT systems.
It is not the only supermarket struggling. In March, Sainsbury's reported its first fall in sales for nine years.
Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King said the supermarket had continued to invest in reducing prices and improving quality in a "challenging market".
The big four supermarkets - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons - are being squeezed by low-cost rivals such as Aldi and Lidl, as well as upmarket chains such as Waitrose.
Morrisons' shares rose 2.3% to 192.6 pence apiece.
The German Klemm Kl35D, built to train Luftwaffe pilots before the World War Two, was flying from Southend to Old Warden in Bedfordshire last July when the pilot declared an emergency.
It came down heavily in a field next to Earls Lane near South Mimms as the pilot tried to avoid a line of trees.
The 70-year-old pilot was seriously injured.
The pilot "noticed a change in the sound of the engine" just as he was about to contact air traffic control at Luton Airport, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report said.
He immediately decided to declare an emergency and headed towards the nearest airport at Elstree, but after about five minutes the engine lost power.
The pilot selected the one field into which he felt it was possible to make a forced landing.
During impact, both wings and the undercarriage became detached from the fuselage.
Both the pilot and passenger got out of the cockpit by themselves, but the pilot was taken to hospital.
The former frontman of Race Horses came top of a shortlist of 12 albums ranging from folk to metal, and alternative Welsh language to pop.
The 29-year-old went to Rome in 2013 following the break up of the band and the visit inspired the album.
"Winning was a big shock, I really had no idea - I am nervous but overall, it is great to have won," he said.
"I made the record on my own, away from the industry with the help of my family and my good friends. It meant I got to really explore and experiment."
From ballads to art house pop, the album captured the judges' attention with its 30-strong orchestra, sounds of three trombonists in a cemetery and recordings of birds.
Jones, who divides his time between his home town Aberystwyth and London, said of making the album: "I had no expectations, all I wanted to was experiment and explore the length of my imagination and all my interests from Renaissance music, to pop music, to art, Duke Ellington and dance.
"I didn't think of it as an album, I wasn't expecting to make an album.
"I wanted to make a record like Frank Sinatra with an orchestra, but they were all people I knew and friends of friends, so it wasn't like hiring an orchestra.
"From video to stage, I always wanted to feel different."
Jones joined an impressive line-up of successors including Gwenno Saunders, Future of the Left and Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys, after all being given the chance to showcase their original music on a national level.
Organiser John Rostron said: "It's been a terrific year for Meilyr Jones, and it's great that what felt like many peoples' favourite to scoop the accolade did indeed manage to impress the 12 judges and claim the Welsh Music Prize.
"It wasn't an easy win though - the strength of this year's shortlist made for a very long discussion and it could have been one of several records written inside the winner's envelope."
Co-founder of the prize, Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens, described Jones as a "one off", adding: "It's an ambitious, bold, beautiful album. Meilyr has been making music for 10 years now and I'm very happy for him, he's worked very hard and made a real statement."
As well as debut albums and first solo records for established artists, there was a strong presence for Welsh language music in the shortlist for the awards which were held in Cardiff.
This included the return of alternative duo Datblygu, favourites of the late John Peel and revered for their role in the emergence of the new wave of Welsh music more than 30 years ago.
Others already known beyond Wales included 9Bach, whose previous album was a BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards winner, the critically acclaimed Cate Le Bon and Jones, attracting his fair share of BBC 6 Music airplay this year.
THE OTHER NOMINEES
She said global risks were not expected to have a deep impact on the US, but caution was still appropriate.
Global developments and risks had led policymakers to project a slower path of rate rises than initially expected in December, Ms Yellen said.
US markets rose during her speech at the Economic Club of New York.
Her tone was similar to the Fed's statement in mid-March, when the central bank made no change to rates and guided expectations towards a slower pace of increases after December's increase.
Ms Yellen repeated her message from earlier public speeches that volatile oil prices and China's slowing growth, along with how soon inflation would reach the Fed's 2% goal, were key factors guiding the Fed towards taking a gradual approach on raising rates.
Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange, said her caution was not surprising, but stood in contrast to support for rate rises from other Fed speakers in recent days.
He added: "On balance, [Yellen's] comments do not sound consistent with a looming rate hike in April and leave considerable doubt about whether rates will rise in June.
Earlier on Tuesday the head of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, John Williams, said the US economy was doing "quite well".
As she has done in past speeches, Ms Yellen said the market should be open to the possibility of news that boosts confidence.
"We should not ignore the welcome possibility that economic conditions could turn out to be more favourable than we now expect," she said.
The audience in New York laughed when Ms Yellen was asked how long the Fed expected to take to reach "normal" interest rates and whether she felt the market had failed to understand the bank's plan.
The Fed chief has been trying to reassure markets of its "gradual" plan since taking action in December.
Following Ms Yellen's speech, Wall Street climbed sharply . The S&P 500 rose 0.8% and the Nasdaq index jumped 1.5%, although the Dow Jones Industrial Average added just 0.1%.
Although the focus of her speech was on interest rates, Ms Yellen did address the other tools the Fed has at its disposal if the US economy was to suffer a downturn.
These unconventional tools - including asset purchases, forward guidance and negative interest rates, which have been used in Europe - have been criticised for helping banks and not stimulating economies.
Ms Yellen defended the use of these tools, saying they helped prevent the recession from becoming worse.
"They have been effective policy, they have made a difference and inflation may have been lower and unemployment higher - by noticeable amounts - had we not employed those policies," she said.
Up to 25 hot air balloons were tethered at Ashton Court on Thursday to take part in the nightglow on the opening day of the festival.
The event, now in its 38th year, is Europe's largest balloon festival.

The event is due to run through Sunday with another nightglow and fireworks display planned for Saturday night.
The 29-year-old will be a substitute for the Premiership match against Partick Thistle.
Agustien has English Premier League experience with Swansea City, for whom he played between 2010 and 2013.
He has also played for Crystal Palace and Brighton, but was most recently with Vendsyssel in Denmark.
Victory in Monaco was his first in seven months and cut Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg's title lead to 24 points.
"I've proven that I'm just as strong as I've ever been and I will be for the rest of the year," said Hamilton.
"There's a long way to go yet, though. We've seen from the first six races that anything's possible."
Rosberg won the first four races as Hamilton's title defence started with a series of problems, errors and technical failures.
But the Englishman said he was optimistic of a strong showing at this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, the track where he took the first of his 44 grand prix victories back in 2007.
"Montreal has always been a good track for me, so hopefully I'm able to shine like I did the first time I went there in that great city atmosphere," he said.
Rosberg had a poor race in Monaco, lapping well off the pace in the early stages before being ordered to let Hamilton by so the Briton could compete for the win with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
As the race went on, he slipped further down the field and was passed on the run to the line by Force India's Nico Hulkenberg to finish seventh.
"I expected and prepared myself for some difficult races after the awesome start to the season," said the German.
"In the last grand prix, I hopefully got all of my bad luck out of the way in one race, so onwards and upwards again from now."
The ambitious, three-act Before the Dawn show played for 22 nights at Hammersmith's Apollo in 2014, her first full live performances since 1979.
Speaking about the shows for the first time, the star told BBC 6 Music she was "nervous every night" of the residency.
Her biggest fear was losing her place mid-song, she told Matt Everitt.
"I naturally tend to race ahead in my mind," Bush explained. "I'm always thinking about situations and running them through.
"I think, maybe it's that kind of primeval thing where you're trying to think, 'Can I get to that tree before the tiger gets me?'
"So my head is always moving ahead, just trying to get to the conclusion of whatever this journey is. And once we started running the show I had to be absolutely in that moment.
"But I was so terrified that if my mind wandered off that when I came back I wouldn't remember where I was."
Bush has spent the last two years preparing a live album documenting the show, which will be released on 25 November.
Like the concert, the album is divided into three parts - the first covering hits like Hounds of Love, Top Of The City and Running Up That Hill; while the second and third more conceptual movements were focused on two suites of songs: The Ninth Wave and A Sky Of Honey from her Hounds Of Love and Aerial albums respectively.
Bush declined interview requests before and after the concerts but will delve into the shows on a special hour-long programme, Kate Bush on 6 Music, at 13:00 GMT on Sunday 20 November.
In these exclusive excerpts, she speaks about her decision to perform live again, the problems she experienced and whether she has started working on new music.
What changed your mind about doing the live shows? This is the first big question, isn't it?
I'd done two albums in really quite quick succession and I felt like doing something different. I really wanted to do something that wasn't going to mean sitting in the studio for a couple of years just putting an album together. So it just felt like the right time.
Can you recall that moment of thinking, "Okay, this might interest me"?
Well, I suppose there'd been odd moments when I'd thought this before: "It might be nice to do some shows". But actually pushing the button to go was something that I had to really seriously build up to.
Were you quite nervous?
Yeah, I was terrified. The idea of putting the show together was something that I found really interesting and really exciting... but to actually step into it was something that I had to really work hard on because I was terrified of doing live work as a performer again.
As opposed to the studio, the disciplines involved with live work are very, very different. The ability to exert control is wrested from your hands. How did you cope with that?
I was really nervous every night as a performer, but had complete faith in everybody on the stage, everybody in the team, all the sound guys.
The most difficult thing for me was to be continually in the now because I naturally tend to race ahead in my mind. I think maybe it's that kind of primeval thing where you're trying to think, 'Can I get to that tree before the tiger gets me? Will I be able to get up high enough?'
So my head is always moving ahead just trying to get to the conclusion of whatever this journey is. And once we started running the show I had to be absolutely in that moment.
But I was so terrified that if my mind wandered off that when I came back I wouldn't remember where I was. So I had to really fix myself, so that I would remember where I was in the song.
It was obviously a really creatively fulfilling thing to do the shows - and you're smiling at me already because you know the question that's going to come in a second. You enjoyed it and you managed to achieve something very special, something that maybe hadn't been done with a live pop music show for a long time. Is there the temptation to do it again in some form?
The thing about that show is that most of the material was already written. And to start something like that from scratch is another whole world of work, isn't it?
It was an extraordinary thing to be involved in, especially to have got the response that we did. It was really magical. But I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to do next. I want to just do something new. I've been working [on] this project for a really long time now.
In terms of your songwriting at the moment, how has that been affected by the political state the world finds itself in? Because it's difficult to avoid - no matter what side of the political fence you sit on. Is that something that you've been inspired to write about?
No! [laughs]
That was a really well thought-out question and it was just shot down! Nothing?
I haven't written a song for ages. I haven't been writing.
How come?
Well, sir, I've been quite busy. I've been putting a live album together.
I mean, tell me there's going to be another album at some point. This is not a full stop or anything, is it?
Oh no, I don't think so. I think it's just a rather big comma.

At a meeting this morning, Tata Steel confirmed claims from union sources which were first reported on Friday.
Tata said it would close its two plants in Scotland with the loss of 270 jobs - 225 at Dalzell and 45 at Clydebridge.
The move comes after the coke ovens have already cooled in Thai-owned Redcar, much of Capuro industries has gone into administration, and Scunthorpe - heavily dependent on steel - has also taken the brunt of today's Tata announcement.
In these circumstances, governments want to look busy. The UK Business Secretary was exiting a summit in Rotherham as the Tata Steel reports surfaced. Nicola Sturgeon has promised a task force. No stone will be left unturned, etc.
Both governments will be pressured by Labour, in opposition, which ought to know how little ministers can do.
This can be played out for party political advantage. Or it can be seen in a global context.
Britain's steel competes in a worldwide market. It has successfully sought out high-value, high-quality markets, and become much more efficient than in the days when 200,000 were employed in it.
But it faces three major disadvantages. One is that China is accused of dumping cheap, subsidised steel into western markets, because demand for China's vast output has dropped sharply with the nation's downturn. It is reckoned that China's overcapacity is roughly double the entire output of Europe's furnaces.
So the timing of Indian-owned Tata Steel's announcement will put more urgency into David Cameron's discussions with the Chinese president today, as he starts his state visit to Britain.
While asking for lots of investment in infrastructure and co-operation on trade, the Prime Minister has to put what pressure he can on his visitor to pull back on cheap steel.
The UK government can also take action to offset the high cost of electricity, but within the constraints of state aid rules and its targets on climate emissions. And the industry complains that business rates are far too high.
Ministers could go out to find new customers for British-made steel, but such customers will be more attracted to cheaper steel made in remninbi or euros.
Or they could find a buyer. Tata Steel had a buyer for its European operations last year - Klesch Group, controlled by Gary Klesch, a steely American billionaire.
He wanted Tata's expertise, particularly in railways, and its reach into European markets. And he argued that his business model worked better in a bear market.
Not well enough, though. Although from the Land of the Free and the free market, he now says he pulled out of the deal because the British government didn't seem interested in helping with energy costs or Asian dumping.
And then there's sterling. Foreign travel looks relatively cheap, as do imports. And that means it is more difficult for British firms both to export and to compete with imports.
There are several reasons for sterling being strong against most currencies. The main ones revolve around decisions taken on monetary policy in the Bank of England.
It's worth noting that the Scottish government is going easy on that monetary policy. Unlike Alex Salmond in opposition days, the Bank of England is not being given the blame for allowing sterling to become so strong.
Why? Perhaps because the SNP has yet to find a new policy on relations with the Bank of England, having become mired during the independence referendum campaign in the currency argument and joint controls over the central bank.
Instead, it is Labour's new shadow chancellor, fresh from a humiliating U-turn on fiscal policy, who has announced an approach to the Bank of England which steals from the SNP policy book.
John McDonnell is saying that the key rate-setting committee in the Bank of England, the monetary policy committee (MPC), should be reviewed.
While making it clear he wants to see the MPC remaining independent (something that wasn't at all clear before), he's got a former member, Prof David Blanchflower, to carry out a review.
Along with a call for a broader remit than solely an inflation target, the ideas being floated include the appointment of people from outside the City of London, with perspectives from Scotland and the English regions. All that and gender balance too.
The Bank of England already has a network of "agents" around the country, including one in Scotland. They published a "summary of business conditions" at the end of last week.
It showed that the Bank has, at least, clocked manufacturing is suffering from the strengthening of the pound.
So here's one question for Professor Blanchflower's review: if there were different voices around the MPC table, what difference would their non-London perspective make to decisions, as they affect women, nations and regions, the manufacturing and exporting sectors, and to the steel industry?

Shannley Leaver, 16, from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and Ronald Gates, 55, from Knodishall in Suffolk, died in the collision near Lowestoft last year.
Daniel Watts, of North Denes Road, Great Yarmouth, admitted causing both deaths at Ipswich Crown Court.
He is due to be sentenced on 22 January.

Four other people were injured.
Watts was released on bail while awaiting his sentence.
"I want you to go on a charisma master class," said my editor one morning, out of the blue.
Immediately sensing my awkward bewilderment, he quickly explained that he didn't think I needed help.
Instead he had a job for me - he wanted me to explore whether it is possible to be taught to become more charismatic.
That's how I found myself trotting down to Mayfair in central London to see a psychologist called Richard Reid.
Nicknamed "Mr Charisma", he runs regular sessions teaching people how to be more charismatic.
Increasingly in demand, his clients range from businessmen and women who want to be better leaders, to grooms preparing for their wedding speeches, and people who simply want to be more successful with the opposite sex.
While I'm naturally chatty, enjoy public speaking and smile quite a bit, I wouldn't describe myself as charismatic. But as I walked into his office, what would Mr Reid think of me? And what exactly is charisma?
"First impressions are that you have lots of positive attributes," he says. "You have a likeable energy, and I feel energetic being around you."
Better than I was expecting, but then came the inevitable "but".
"That energy needs to be tempered slightly, slowing down and pausing..."
Sensing that I was about to interrupt, Mr Reid adds: "And allow the other person to engage in the conversation.
"When people express themselves they feel good about themselves, and they're more likely to feel well disposed towards you."
Mr Reid goes on to talk about the importance of making eye contact, and asking people questions.
"By using open-ended questions you're showing far more interest in that person and you'll engender trust and enthusiasm."
He adds: "Charisma is about the [positive] feeling you engender in other people. A true sign of charisma is being able to connect with someone on a deeper level."
After spending an hour with Mr Reid I'm interested to hear what successful business leaders think about charisma, and whether they believe it can be taught.
So back at the office I start by calling Lord Digby Jones, a former UK minister for trade and investment.
"I'd say charisma is the confidence to constantly communicate and articulate a positive message," he says.
"People are kind enough to say I'm a good communicator, that I speak in a language they understand.
"And I have a reputation for always answering a question, not ducking it. If you do that and articulate with consistency and fluidity, people listen."
But does Lord Jones think you can learn to be more charismatic?
"You can become better [at it]," he says. "People who make things look easy work harder, prepare more, and take nothing for granted.
"I can make a speech and people think I just stood up and did it, because I never use notes. They don't know that for an hour sometime that day I've quietly sat on my own thinking, 'How am I going to structure this, what does my audience look like?'"
Across town I meet Lady Barbara Judge, chairman of the Institute of Directors business organisation. A formidable woman, her unique style seems to be an amalgam of Tudor monarch and steely grande dame of commerce.
I'm rather taken aback when she says: "For me, charisma is about smiling, you need to smile a lot."
"Charisma is about body language, making people feel included. It's not about you, it's about the people you're talking to and leading.
"If you can make people feel important, you can carry them with you."

Lady Judge adds that you have to believe in what you are saying. "If you want people to think you're strong, you have to look strong.
"I'm very thin-skinned, my feelings get hurt easily, and I'm kind of a marshmallow," she says. "You have to get over that: look strong, sound strong, act strong."
So does she believe you can teach charisma?
"I would like to think you can," she says, adding that as a younger women she received training in public speaking.
"If I can go from being terrible to reasonable by being taught, I'd like to think you can teach charisma."
However, not everyone agrees. One such naysayer is psychologist Prof Richard Wiseman, who like Mr Reid is an expert on charisma.
"I have never tried to train it [charisma], but my guess is that it would be very tricky," says Prof Wiseman.
"Charisma depends on a unique mix of passion, an ability to transmit that passion to others, the ability to convey a message in a simple way that people get, etc.
"My guess is that it is very tricky to teach charisma without it sounding terrible."
While there are other such sceptics, Mr Reid continues to run charisma classes for a host of businesses including accountancy group Ernst & Young, and IT firms Sophos and Cap Gemini. He has also worked with the City of London Police and the UK Ministry of Defence.
"Generally it's people who are looking for a promotion, or looking to get to grips having stepped up in role. Or people who are running businesses and organisations, who are looking to influence and steer the people who work under them," he says.
When it comes to who Mr Reid thinks are some of the world's most charismatic people, he is quick to cite Oprah Winfrey and the Dalai Lama.
He says that Oprah has "the whole package", while the Dalai Lama is "humble, approachable and warm".
The Office for National Statistics data showed there were 697,852 live births in 2015.
There were 15.2 births per 1,000 women aged over 40, compared with just 14.5 per 1,000 women in their teens.
The last time the over 40s had the higher fertility rate was in 1947, in the wake of WWII.
The figures show two key trends in who is having children and when in England and Wales.
The teenage pregnancy rate has been in long-term decline and has more than halved from the 33 births per 1,000 teenagers in 1990.
Meanwhile, pregnancies have soared in older age groups from 5.3 per 1,000 in 1990.
The average age of having a child is now 30.3 - a figure that has been increasing since 1975.
Advances in fertility treatment as well as more women in higher education and attitudes around the importance of a career and the rising costs of childbearing are behind the rise, the ONS says.
Liz McLaren, head of vital statistics outputs at the ONS, said: "The trend for women to have babies at older ages continued in 2015.
"Over the last 40 years, the percentage of live births to women aged 35 and over has increased considerably.
"Women aged 40 and over now have a higher fertility rate than women aged under 20 - this was last recorded in the 1940s."
The data also shows that fertility rates have dropped in all age groups under 25 while increasing for all age groups 30 and over.
Women aged between 30 and 34 have the highest fertility of any age group - with 111 births per 1,000 women.
The number of births to women born outside the UK has also continued its rise, reaching 27.5% of all births.
Prof Adam Balen, the chairman of the British Fertility Society, said: "We know that female fertility starts to decline gradually from the late 20s and more rapidly from the mid-30s onwards.
"While the risks should never be overplayed, men and women should be aware that reproductive outcomes are poorer in older women.
"As well as it potentially taking longer to get pregnant, later maternity can involve a greater risk of miscarriage, a more complicated labour, and medical intervention at the birth."
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service said: "The trend towards older motherhood is here to stay, and there are many understandable reasons why women today are waiting longer to start or expand their families than those in previous decades.
"Rather than bemoaning this development, we should seek to understand and support the decisions women make.
"More affordable childcare and improved maternity rights may make it easier for some women to start their families earlier if they wish, but we also need to ensure we have high quality reproductive healthcare services configured to meet women's needs, whatever the age at which they conceive."

Noujain Mustaffa is a disabled 16-year-old Syrian migrant with an unwavering smile who made the odyssey to Europe in her wheelchair.
She told journalists she had learnt English by watching the US soap opera, Days of Our Lives.
Now one of its characters - played by James Scott - has "returned from the dead" in a spoof paying tribute.
Noujain was one of hundreds of thousands of Syrians who have undertaken the arduous 4,000-mile (6,400km) journey to Europe in recent months.
But her courage in attempting the journey in her wheelchair - and her unshakeable optimism - captured the attention of the world's media, initially the BBC's Fergal Keane.
Noujain revealed that her accomplished English was down to watching her favourite TV show, the long-running US daytime drama Days of Our Lives, back in her home town of Kobane.
"I was waking up at 08:00 some days to watch it. That's a great show," she told BBC partner ABC. "But they killed the main character that I loved!"
That lament came to the attention of comedian John Oliver, who picked up on Noujain's story at the end of a segment examining Europe's treatment of the migrants on the latest edition of his late-night show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
"How could you not want this girl in your country?" he asked.
"We have a surprise that is literally just for you," he went on - introducing a specially filmed spoof scene in which Noujain's favourite character, EJ DiMera, played by Scott, returns from the dead to be reunited with his former lover, Sami.
"Coming back from the dead, that's not hard," EJ tells Sami - played by Alison Sweeney - during the scene. "You know what's hard? Getting from Syria to Germany."
"Have you seen what those migrants are going through?" Sami responds.
Later, EJ says: "I read about this incredible 16-year-old girl from Kobani called Noujain Mustaffa. Yes, Noujain Mustaff," he says, looking into the camera with a smile.
Scott later tweeted his thanks to Last Week Tonight, Alison Sweeney and Noujain for "one last DiMera dance!"
Noujain, meanwhile, succeeded in reaching Germany where she was reunited with her brother. She has now applied for asylum in Dortmund.
They were in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. All around them, reminders of historic innovations that began with research at this legendary college.
As the photographer clicked away, I wondered - what place in history would this photograph have? Will we look back at these 30 smiles and say, "That was the team that changed the world!"?
If that is to be the case, there is a long road ahead. And indeed, it is long roads that are the motivation for this project. The MIT team is one of several working on Hyperloop, a vision for rapid travel put forth by Silicon Valley's most interesting man, Elon Musk.
He says the commute from San Francisco to Los Angeles - currently a five-hour drive or an hour of flying - could be cut to 30 minutes.
Hyperloop is a conceptual transport system in which passengers are loaded into pods and fired through vacuum tubes at more than 600mph (1,000km/h).
Prototype pods have been tested running along magnetic tracks, much like the maglev trains used in countries such as Japan today.
Pumping the air out of the tubes reduces resistance, allowing high speeds to be achieved, potentially using less energy than a train.
The idea could reduce journey times over long distances, but there are many challenges for the rival developers to overcome before any such project can become a reality.
Mr Musk is the boss of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, and when he published in 2013 a white paper outlining a way to use airtight tubes to propel pods at speeds of up to 700mph (1130km/h), he set a challenge to anyone and everyone who wanted to try and build the technology.
Mr Musk isn't paying the firms, but he has committed to funding a series of tests. The hope is that these will happen in August this year. The target is that by 2021 humans will be travelling on Hyperloops around the world.
The MIT team is one of more than 20 non-commercial groups also designing a Hyperloop pod - with money coming from SpaceX in the form of a competition.
That was split over two phases - a design contest, which MIT won in January, and an on-track test coming up in the summer.
But it all could be a colossal waste of time. The barriers to Hyperloop becoming a reality are enormous - and it's not just about technology.
Part of any visionary's CV is the ability to ignore the naysayers and focus on your vision. If and when you succeed, everyone backtracks and says they knew you were a genius all along.
Elon Musk is the sort of chap that is used to people telling him he's wrong. When he set out to make electric cars appeal to petrolheads, he had a lot of people to convince - but somehow, and on the brink of bankruptcy, he got some investors on board.
Yet an awful lot stands in Hyperloop's way. Literally.
Christopher Merian, chief engineer on MIT's effort, told me that the key problem with his pod - and the Hyperloop concept in general - is that it can't handle corners.
So the Hyperloop tube would need to take a rather Roman approach, and go in an almost complete straight line from A to B.
If the proposed route of San Francisco to Los Angeles is to be realised, you're looking at slicing through some of the most beautiful sights the natural world has to offer, not to mention acre after acre of land belonging to people who may not be too keen on a big fat tube being plonked outside their front door.
Philippe Kirschen, MIT's team captain, told me he thinks this will lead to Hyperloop being built in a different part of the world with a less strenuous regulatory environment.
Indeed it's hard to imagine anywhere in the US that would be suitable for Hyperloop, short of shelling out monstrous payouts and a free Tesla or two to people whose lives have been uprooted.
But let's put that aside and, for the sake of argument, say an agreement has been made and a route between San Francisco and Los Angeles is built. It works, it's safe and it's pretty darn marvellous, all told.
Except it is really, really expensive.
Mr Musk says the cost of building the route would be in the region of $6bn (£4.1bn), an estimate most agree is extremely conservative.
Some are calling Hyperloop the new Concorde which, despite being a glorious piece of innovation, ultimately failed due to regulations - it wasn't allowed to fly at supersonic speeds over land - and a lack of profitability.
A return ticket on Concorde would see you part with several thousand pounds or dollars. Which over time was not considered to be worthwhile trade to save a few hours.
How much will a ticket for Hyperloop cost?
MIT's pod design - which they said can be scaled up - will likely be able to carry around 20 people at once.
Unless the Hyperloop system can handle a great number of pods leaving a station in very quick succession, tickets for those pods will need to be extremely high in order to make the system economically viable.
Furthermore, if Hyperloop runs from San Francisco to Los Angeles, it will be competing with the currently under-construction California High Speed Rail. The network - due to open in 2025 - promises a journey time of two hours and 40 minutes. Each train will be able to carry well over a thousand people. Tickets, surely, will be a lot cheaper than Hyperloop.
It would leave Hyperloop as an option only for the rich. Public support no doubt would evaporate.
I was something of a partypooper at MIT's event, I'll admit - putting all these points to the team on a night designed to celebrate their outstanding efforts thus far.
The math(s) not adding up was a concern, they said - but at the very least, the hope is that developing Hyperloop will create something, even if it's not the transportation of the future.
There could be many industrial uses for an environmentally friendly Hyperloop-style system.
In 50 years, when we look back at the hopeful, expectant faces in that photograph, it seems unlikely that we'll see them as the team that changed the way we travel.
But that's not to say developing Hyperloop - a clean, perhaps revolutionary technology - won't have been worth it.

More than 40,000 parents have signed a petition calling for a boycott of primary school tests, which are due to be taken later this month.
Parents supporting the Let Our Kids Be Kids campaign have complained of a damaging culture of over-testing.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says taking pupils out of school "even for a day is harmful to their education".
It remains uncertain how many primary school children were kept off school across the country, but a social media campaign had urged parents to take children on educational activities for the day.
About 500 people gathered at Preston Park in Brighton, including children's laureate Chris Riddell.
"We should be turning children into readers with the pleasure that gives, rather than relying on a testing culture," said Mr Riddell.
Parents have handed in the petition at the headquarters of the Department for Education in London. Among the parents present was Caterina, with son and daughter in Ivydale school in Nunhead, south London.
The campaign organisers say children are "over-tested, over-worked and in a school system that places more importance on test results and league tables than children's happiness and joy of learning".
They have raised concerns about the impact of primary tests, so-called Sats tests, taken by seven-year-olds and 11-year-olds, which are being made more stretching with changes to the curriculum.
They have challenged what they claim is a "dull, dry curriculum" based around tests.
In an open letter to the education secretary, campaigners have warned of schools becoming "exam factories" and that testing causes stress and can make young children feel like "failures".
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw rejected these arguments, saying that improving social mobility depended on making sure that children are not falling behind at any early age.
"The government is right to introduce greater structure and rigour into the assessment process. Those who oppose this testing need to consider England's mediocre position in the OECD education rankings," said Sir Michael.
"As I have long argued, children who fall behind in the early years of their education struggle to catch up in later years."
Education Minister Nick Gibb said tests improved standards and need not be stressful.
"Schools should not be putting pressure on young people when taking these assessments.
"I've been to many schools where the children don't even know they're taking the tests," said Mr Gibb.
The importance of testing was emphasised by Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education.
He said that any short-term stress was worth it if in the longer term it meant that children finished school with better results.
Schools minister Nick Gibb was asked a question on BBC Radio 4's World at One from a grammar test for 11 year olds
Martha Kearney: Let me give you this sentence: "I went to the cinema, after I'd eaten my dinner." Is the word "after" there being used as a subordinating conjunction or a preposition?
Nick Gibb: Well it's a preposition.
Martha Kearney: I don't think it is.
Nick Gibb: "After" is a preposition. It can be used in some contexts as a word that coordinates a sub-clause, but this isn't about me.
Martha Kearney: But I think in this sentence it's being used as a subordinating conjunction.
Nick Gibb: Fine, well this isn't about me, this is about ensuring that future generations of children - unlike me incidentally, who was not taught grammar at primary school...
Martha Kearney: Perhaps not.
Nick Gibb: ...We need to make sure that future generations of children are taught grammar properly."
Mr McGovern said that tests in England's schools needed to be tougher to catch up with international competitors.
"We're three years behind the Chinese at the age of 15. We are a bit of a basket case internationally.
"We've got to do something, we've got to act early, and a health check at seven is a good idea."
Ministers have already had problems with the administration of primary school tests this year.
The baseline tests, which were intended to be a benchmark for measuring progress, were found to have unreliable results and have been postponed.
Tests for seven-year-olds in spelling, punctuation and grammar also had to be called off when it was found that test questions had mistakenly been published on a Department for Education website.
Labour's shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said she did not "condone children being taken out of school".
But she accused the government of "creating chaos and confusion in primary assessment".
Russell Hobby, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: "I think the gap between the profession and the government has never been wider than it is at the moment."
He warned of "an enormous number of mistakes, delays and confusions around testing".
But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has argued that raising standards will improve creativity and not restrict it.
"How creative can a child be if they struggle to understand the words on the page in front of them?" Mrs Morgan told head teachers at the weekend.
"That is why the campaign led by some of those who do not think we should set high expectations, who want to keep their children home for a day is so damaging.
"Keeping children home, even for a day is harmful to their education."

Hull City manager Steve Bruce and Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce have been interviewed about succeeding Roy Hodgson, who resigned after the shock last-16 defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016.
"We've consulted widely in the game and spoken to a handful of people," Martin Glenn told BBC sports editor Dan Roan.
"The new manager's got to be someone who can inspire people."
Glenn also said the new manager will need to "build resilience" in players so they are able to deal with criticism on social media and the pressures of an "intensely passionate" English media.
"The British press, like it or not, are probably the most intensely passionate about the game in the world and that has a spill-over effect," he said.
"The consequence of which is people probably play not to make a mistake, as opposed to play to win.
"So the new manager's got to be someone who can inspire people to get the best out of themselves, build resilience and unashamedly adopt the kind of psychological techniques that other sports and other football teams have done."
Both Hull and Sunderland have urged the FA to move quickly so they can plan for the new Premier League season, which starts on 13 August.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann have also been linked with the England role - and the Daily Telegraph claims a third "mystery candidate" has been interviewed.
Glenn is part of a three-man panel, including FA technical director Dan Ashworth and vice-chairman David Gill, who will choose the new manager.
They have said the successful candidate must be strong-minded, tactically savvy and build a clear team identity.
Glenn, former CEO of United Biscuits, responded to criticism for admitting he "wasn't a football man" by pointing out he had "hired some very talented people over the years into high-pressure jobs".
Natasha Argent was digitally recorded as having passed only about half of the check points along the 26.2 mile (42km) event, the Metro reported.
Her recorded time for the second half of the race was also odd as it would have set a new world record, if true.
She was branded a cheat online after posing with her medal on Instagram.
James Argent posted a photo of her on the social media site holding her medal and captioned the picture: "SHE DID IT! So proud of my little sister @natashaarge completing the #LondonMarathon & beating my time by over an hour lol! #londonyouthcharity x". He has since deleted the photo from his feed.
Marathon director Hugh Brasher told BBC News the results team had investigated and asked Ms Argent to explain her unusual results.
He said: "At her request, we have removed her results from the system and she will be returning her finisher's medal to us".
She is one of about 20 runners whose results were investigated.
Ms Argent, who starred in series seven of ITV's Take Me Out dating show, gained a place through the London Youth charity.
The charity, which offers young people the chance to learn new skills and take part in sport, said it was not placing any pressure on Ms Argent to fulfil her donation pledges.
It said: "We've spoken to her and she's very upset.
"We've said it's between her and the people who sponsored her as to whether they still feel comfortable giving the money now.
"We do not want anyone who has given money to us to feel they have been misled. It's just a shame for the young people."
Ms Argent is not the first to hand back her finisher's medal. In 2011 Rob Sloan gave back his medal after he admitted taking a short cut and hopping on a bus in the Kielder Marathon in Northumberland.
BBC News contacted Ms Argent for a comment but she has yet to respond.

With England's Four Nations disappointment, the liquidation of an iconic club in Bradford and a high-profile courtroom-bound defection to rugby union, the return of competitive action might just be the perfect tonic for fed-up fans.
After all, there is still much to be excited about the domestic game, particularly in the Super League.
Champions Wigan also get the chance to mix it with the southern hemisphere's best again when they take on Cronulla in the World Club Challenge, just one of a few intriguing stories that will unfold over the next eight months.

Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane described last season's Grand Final win as the best of his career, including his own playing successes.
Against a backdrop of injuries, and a formidable Warrington side, Wigan ran out 12-6 winners, and Wane believes that success makes the Warriors the team to beat in 2017.
"If Warrington had won it they'd be the team to catch, but we like it, it's a mantle we want," the 52-year-old said.
"It makes every game tough for us and we need to make sure we don't underestimate anyone. We're in good shape, and we'll never have a season like last year."
Warrington came closer than anyone to glory, picking up the League Leaders' Shield but losing in both the Grand Final and Challenge Cup final.
One man desperate to end the Wire's wait for a championship that goes back to 1955 is former Australia outside back Kurt Gidley, who arrived from Newcastle at the beginning of 2016 and played a major role in their efforts last term.
"It's always what I strive for," Gidley said. "My main goal is to win a competition, the Challenge Cup would be a good goal as well."
Meanwhile, Hull FC broke their trophy duck with the Challenge Cup - their first honour since 2005 - raising expectations in the west of the city.
"That's the challenge, to make sure we don't drop off and keep up that top end and compete on all fronts," vice-captain Danny Houghton said.
"People want to knock us off our perch and it's about having that consistency, keeping our house in order and not worrying about anything else."
Whether it is so-called "bad boys" like Zak Hardaker or Todd Carney hoping to show their maturity at Castleford and Salford respectively, former State of Origin star Greg Bird proving his value to Catalans or Kevin Brown moving from Widnes to fierce rivals Warrington, there are plenty of players with a point to prove.
Despite a broken leg ruling him out of the start of the campaign, returning St Helens half-back Matty Smith will be targeting an impact on his move from Wigan.
Wigan's Joe Burgess too, has returned from a spell in Australia with Sydney Roosters and most recently South Sydney Rabbitohs - who were keen to retain him.
Although his NRL stint came to a premature end, Burgess is keen to state it is no backward step to come back to Super League.
"I enjoyed the whole experience," the 22-year-old told BBC Radio Manchester.
"Souths wanted to keep me, but I couldn't turn down my home team. I don't regret it at all, it's good to be back and hopefully we'll win something."

Although Wigan, Hull FC and Leigh rightfully attracted focus for their 2016 success, there was almost as much attention paid to Leeds and Huddersfield, who went from the play-offs to fighting for their top flight futures inside 12 months.
Leeds in particular had the biggest tumble from grace, having swapped a treble of trophies in 2015 for the Qualifiers after an injury-hit, form-affected 2016.
"We're a great team, we didn't become a bad team overnight, certain things happened and we didn't play well as well," head coach Brian McDermott told BBC Sport.
His side has kept much of the same personnel, although James Segeyaro opted to remain in Australia and in his place the Rhinos have signed Manly hooker Matt Parcell.
"We've got things we need to prove to ourselves," added McDermott. "We're not going to circle the wagons, that is an easy option going into the season.
"There was no need for a major overhaul, just because of what went on."
The Giants had established themselves as play-off regulars under former coach Paul Anderson but his mid-season exit after a miserable start led to ex-Newcastle coach Rick Stone arriving at the John Smith's Stadium.
He succeeded in his initial task to keep Huddersfield in the top tier, but with a full pre-season with the players and a winter of recruitment, now hopes to put his own stamp on the squad.
"Defensively last year we were a bit brittle, conceding 25 points a game," Stone said.
"The willingness to get stuck in and do some work has been the difference. They've worked hard on the tough mucky areas, bedded down at our base on Leeds Road and got on with it.
"Pre-season is an important foundation for what we're going to do this season. Those who have a good pre-season tend to excel."

Not even the acrimonious departure of Denny Solomona to rugby union's Sale Sharks, a tussle now destined for the courtroom, has blighted the optimism around Wheldon Road and Castleford.
Cas lost Solomona's predecessor Justin Carney in different but equally acrimonious circumstances 12 months before, but bounced back thanks to the recruitment of players by head coach Daryl Powell.
Injuries affected the Tigers last season, but they are boosted by the return of skipper Michael Shenton after he missed last season through injury and Andy Lynch and Ben Roberts also pushing for recalls.
England full-back Hardaker brought in from Leeds will work with his old mentor Powell after Luke Dorn's retirement, and with a crop of talented young players hoping to make their impact, there are hopes of cracking the top four as they did in 2014.
"We're in a great place," Powell told BBC Radio Leeds.
"The team is pretty solid, it has matured over the past few years and people are talking about us, we've got to deliver now."

Few coaches had their heart rates tested as brutally as Salford's Ian Watson in 2016.
He went from utter despair to joy and relief in the space of a few minutes as the Red Devils - in their Million Pound Game shoot-out with Hull KR to stay in the top flight - overhauled a four-point deficit to tie with the last play of the game and then won it with a long-range drop-goal from the boot of Gareth O'Brien.
"As soon as it was done we pushed it to the side, and moved on," said Watson, rather more calmly, four months on.
"I know what kind of people we've got in our environment, we've got a good group and leaders.
"We felt we were in a position that didn't give a true impression, this year we've got a clean slate, to move on from that game, to prove what we're about."
Signings have been made, from powerful forwards such as Lee Mossop and Lama Tasi to controversial yet talented half-back Carney, in a bid to avoid a similar fate this year.
"We're massively behind the eight-ball, a minimum 10 weeks behind," Watson added. "They guys we've been able to bring in have been perfect for us, identifying what we were short of last year."
Leigh's promotion broke the 'glass ceiling' around the new Super 8s format, climbing out of the Championship to join the Super League for the first time since 2005.
The Leythers have strengthened on arriving in the 'promised land', bringing in Catalans back-rower Glenn Stewart and hooker Eloi Pelissier and Wigan utility back Ryan Hampshire.
"We've learned a lot from the Super 8s, we played Warrington and Leeds in the Challenge Cup, and we got a couple of scalps in the cup," head coach Neil Jukes said.
"We know what we're getting into, the key is doing it week in, week out. We won't fear any team in a semi-final, it's do or die.
"However it's about doing it round three, round four and round five that's important."

Oscar-nominated actress Abigail Breslin, who shot to fame in Little Miss Sunshine and currently stars in horror comedy show Scream Queens, will play the lead role of Baby Houseman.
The three-hour adaptation will be directed by Wayne Blair, the Australian behind 2012 film The Sapphires.
An airdate has not been specified and no other cast members have been announced.
Set in the summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing is the song-and-dance love story about 17-year-old Baby, originally played by Jennifer Grey, who falls for her working-class dance instructor, Johnny Castle - played by Patrick Swayze.
That role helped Swayze shoot to stardom and also saw him record the song She's Like the Wind for the film's soundtrack.
Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote the screenplay for the original movie and was also behind the successful Dirty Dancing musical, is on board for the small screen adaptation to be produced by Lionsgate TV.
Previously in 2011, Lionsgate announced plans to remake the film for the big screen, with Kenny Ortega - who choreographed the original and directed High School Musical - at the helm. | Thomas Muller ended a 999-minute goal drought as Bayern Munich returned to the top of the Bundesliga with a comfortable win against struggling Wolfsburg.

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

The book, Becoming Steve Jobs, excerpts of which have been published online, throws light on life inside Apple as it grew into one of the world's most powerful technology companies.
It also charts the relationship between Mr Cook and Mr Jobs.
According to the book, Mr Jobs angrily turned down Mr Cook's offer.
In 2004, Mr Jobs announced that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer and by 2009, the Apple chief executive was very ill, unable to come into the office and waiting for a liver transplant.
Mr Cook regularly visited Mr Jobs at home and after one visit he "left the house feeling so upset that he had his own blood tested", according to excerpts published by Fast Company executive editor Rick Tetzeli, who co-authored the book.
Fellow author Brent Schlender is a journalist who interviewed Mr Jobs several times throughout his life.
Mr Cook found out that he, like Steve Jobs, had a rare blood type, and guessed that it might be the same.
According to the book, he went through a series of tests and discovered that a partial liver transplant was feasible.
But when he shared the news with Mr Jobs, the dying Apple boss reacted angrily, according to the book.
"He cut me off at the legs, almost before the words were out of my mouth," an excerpt says.
"'No," he said. 'I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that.'"
"Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them," Mr Cook added.
Mr Jobs did go on to have a liver transplant, in March 2009.
He resigned as Apple chief executive in August 2011 and died in October at the age of 56.
The book also reveals that Mr Jobs contemplated buying Yahoo as a way for Apple to get into the search business.
But parts of it contradict an earlier biography written by Walter Isaacson. In that book Mr Isaacson claims that Apple was contemplating creating a television - but according to Becoming Steve Jobs, the Apple founder had little interest in this.
He tells Apple designer Jony Ive in the book: "I just don't like television. Apple will never make a TV again."
It's much shorter, with the key text of the actual agreement running to just 14 pages - the number of square brackets, indicating areas of disagreement, has reduced significantly to around 300 from more than 900.
But the deal is far from done. Here's my guide to the five key questions that still need to be answered if the Paris deal is to live up to the hype.
You would think that this late in the game, people would have a clear idea about the purpose of the agreement. Alas not quite. There is still a significant question over whether the deal will look to limit warming to 1.5 degrees or 2 degrees C.
It mightn't seem like much of a difference but it's hugely important for island states and very vulnerable countries. For several years the idea of having 1.5 in the text was seen as just a platitude to these nations. But when the national plans for climate action, submitted by more than 180 countries were submitted, they added up to warming of around 2.7 degrees.
This has prompted negotiators here to re-visit the idea of 1.5 and it has gathered some political momentum. But expect the final text to "accommodate" the idea, rather than commit people to achieving it. If it was the goal of a legally binding treaty and temperatures went above this level, small island states might seek redress through the courts.
Whether the target is 1.5 or 2 degrees, the world's use of fossil fuels will need to be reduced. In the text right now, the undecided question is how much of a reduction and by what date.
One option asks for specific amounts of carbon cuts (70-95% of 2010 levels by 2050) or alternatively, a "long term global low emissions [transformation toward [climate neutrality][decarbonisation]. The square brackets mean the words are not agreed.
Some scientists say that more effort and more clarity are needed.
"The mention of the necessity to achieve net zero carbon is great as that's essential to limit the warming at any level," said Prof Corinne Le Quere from the University of East Anglia.
"Still it is only an optional text at this point, and could be replaced by a far more nebulous 'climate neutrality'.
COP President Laurent Fabius highlighted the lack of progress on finance - and everyone knows that this is one of the most intractable issues.
In the current text it takes up more than one page of the 14-page agreement. While rich nations have promised $100bn a year from 2020 and are on course to meet that target, the issue is actually much broader.
Developing countries want more money from 2020 and they want more of it in the form of grants rather than loans. But there are other key questions, such as what that money should be spent on (should more of it go on helping countries to adapt or helping them to greener energy sources?) and how the money will be tracked and measured.
Observers believe that getting the money right will unlock the door to the deal.
"Countries are looking for that fuel in the system, the finance and investment to achieve their ambitions," said David Waskow from the World Resources Institute.
"Finance is one of the key spurs to having an upward cycle in the negotiation dynamic that will help unlock a high ambition deal."
If money is a key, then what's termed transparency in these talks is one of the locks. Transparency means a method of measuring, reporting and verifying that countries are doing what they commit to do. Right now there are quite a few options and the text almost runs to two pages.
Related to the issue of transparency is a global stock take and review of what countries are doing. In the text right now this is pencilled in for 2023/4 and every five years after that.
The outcome of the stock take shall inform and guide the future carbon cutting plans of the parties. Many countries feel that this is both too late and too lax.
It may seem trite but this is one of the most crucial questions. Many of the 40,000 plus people involved here have been following the process for decades. After so many false dawns and the desperate disappointment of Copenhagen in 2009, there is tremendous war weariness and an almost pathological desire to get to the finish line.
This desire for an end has combined well with a strict approach to time adopted by the French as well as significant political pressure for a deal from a whole host of political leaders. The hosts seem determined to get it all done by close of play on Friday. So far it seems to be working.

Andrew Young, 40, suffered a head injury and died in hospital after the assault in Bournemouth in 2013.
Lewis Gill, of Sutton, south London, admitted manslaughter and was jailed at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the attorney general was considering seeking a longer sentence.
He called it a "repugnant crime", adding: "I think most of the public will feel justice hasn't been done."
"In a case where [the attorney general] judges the sentence to be too lenient, he can go back to the courts and seek a longer sentence," Mr Grayling said.
"He may choose to do this in that case."
Dorset Police described the killing outside a Tesco Express store in Charminster Road as a "violent attack on an innocent man".
CCTV showed Mr Young, who had Asperger's syndrome - a form of autism - apparently challenging Gill's friend, who was cycling on the pavement.
Moments later, Gill, 20, who was walking along behind, was shown punching Mr Young in the face.
Mr Young fell backwards and hit his head on the ground.
Conservative MP David Davies told the Daily Mail it was an "outrageously lean sentence".
"In two years he will be out walking the streets after taking somebody's life," he said.
"He has attacked someone unprovoked and should be properly punished.
"People need to realise if you punch someone like that, and they fall backward, they can die."
Gill, who carried out the assault on 6 November, had an extra six months added to his sentence after admitting an unrelated charge of handling stolen goods and breaching a suspended sentence order.
Neither of the destinations has been served from Northern Ireland for a number of years.
Speaking in Belfast, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary also announced five other European routes would run from Aldergrove later this year.
They are Malaga, Alicante, Krakow, Tenerife and Lanzorote.
The airline had previously announced the hub would open later this month with services to Gatwick.
Belfast International chief executive Graham Keddie said the Berlin route "fulfils a major ambition".
The Northern Ireland tourism sector has been pushing for a direct link because of the growth potential for visitors from Germany.
Mr Keddie added: "This new route network comes at no cost to the taxpayer or support from the government."
Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell said the Ryanair announcement is "fantastic news," adding some of the routes will help Northern Ireland grow tourism.
He also remained hopeful about establishing an air route development fund to help expansion at Northern Ireland airports.
"There is a pot of money I am looking at and I hope to announce our plans before the end of this financial year," he said.
The Kiwis posted a total of 283-9 from their 50 overs, with Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson making half-centuries.
Rain in the interval restricted England's innings, and they quickly stumbled to 45-5.
But Jonny Bairstow's unbeaten 83 led the hosts to a victory over the World Cup runners-up with an over to spare.
The sides now meet again on Tuesday in a Twenty20 international at Old Trafford, which is England's final outing before the first Ashes Test in Cardiff on 8 July.
But before England turn their attentions to Australia, they can look back at a remarkable transformation in their one-day fortunes, after a disastrous period which culminated in their failure to get out of the group stages at World Cup just three months ago.
This game, which sealed a first home ODI series win for England since 2012, lacked the explosiveness, and runs, of the previous four in the series, but was not short on drama as England at one stage needed 54 off 35 balls with three wickets remaining.
Captain Eoin Morgan has tried to epitomise a new, attacking mentality for England, but his first-ball duck, finding the hands of Guptill with an attempted slog, summed up his side's struggles early on in their innings to chase down a target formulated by the Duckworth-Lewis method.
There was also a memorable moment for New Zealand debutant Andrew Mathieson, who has played just 19 first-class matches and has been representing Sidmouth in the Devon League, when he had Jason Roy caught with his first ball in international cricket.
But it took an 80-run sixth-wicket stand from Sam Billings, who contributed 41 from 40 balls, and Bairstow to spark England into life.
Bairstow, only in the side because of a hand injury to Jos Buttler, was in a destructive mood, crashing 11 fours on his way to a first one-day international half-century. He received support from Yorkshire team-mate Adil Rashid, who scored 12, to get over the line.
However, it was Rashid's bowling earlier in the day that may have piqued the interest of England's selectors ahead of the Ashes.
The 27-year-old took two wickets, and went for just 4.50 an over, in a disciplined display of leg-spin bowling.
Things had looked ominous for the Kiwis when captain Brendon McCullum, one ball after hitting a six, played Steven Finn on to his stumps.
And while Guptill and Williamson staged a recovery, before Ben Wheeler led a late charge with 39 from 28 balls, England's bowlers were patient and effective, with Ben Stokes finishing with admirable figures of of 3-52.

Organisations working with victims, including the Poppy Project, say the figure underestimates the scale of the problem and has been rising sharply in recent years.
It is a fate experienced by Ope, 24, who in 2005 met a man offering to help her leave her life in Nigeria and find employment abroad.
Her role, he said, would be as a nanny, or in a factory. She did not realise she would be forced into prostitution.
Following a treacherous four-day trip by boat, with little food or water, she arrived in Madrid, Spain, where she was put to work on the streets.
But after becoming the victim of rape, she was transferred to the UK by her traffickers. "It was like I was a slave," she says, on the work forced upon her.
One day, while being allowed to buy food in the market, she found a lost wallet containing identification. Taking money from her traffickers, she decided to run away.
But when she boarded a train at King's Cross St Pancras in London, Ope was stopped by an immigration officer and later sent to HMP Holloway.
While in prison, she was helped by the Poppy Project charity, before she was recognised by the court as a victim of human trafficking.
All criminal charges against Ope have now been dropped, but she may have to return to Nigeria, where she fears being re-trafficked.
Ope's name and some details of her story have been changed for her own protection.

It was sparked by the discovery of a suspicious object on Cregagh Road.
A PSNI spokesperson said the object has been examined and was "declared to be nothing untoward".
He added that the Ulster Rugby match at the nearby Kingspan Stadium was not affected by the alert.
The champions, a 5,000-1 shot for the title last season, begin their campaign at Hull City on Saturday.
Ranieri, 64, expects Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City to mount strong challenges after the Foxes finished 10 points clear last term.
"It's easier for ET to come to Piccadilly Circus," said the Italian.
"It is impossible. It is more difficult than last season. It is normal that we can't win the league. For this reason I say the bookmakers must do 6,000-1.
"I am very curious, all the world is curious, what will happen with Leicester. I am very curious to see where we finish."
Ranieri, who signed a new contract until 2020 on Wednesday, believes all the "big teams" faltering in the same campaign "only happens once in a lifetime".
"Of course the big teams are ready to fight for the title, we are ready to defend our title but we know it is a difficult gap - last season we made something unbelievable," added the former Chelsea boss.
Ranieri has a fully fit squad ahead of the trip to the KC Stadium and says last season's PFA player of the year Riyad Mahrez will not be leaving the club.
"I don't know, who is interested? Tell me if there is one," said Ranieri regarding transfer speculation surrounding the midfielder.
"Riyad will stay with us. I say: 'Hey keep going, we have to improve, also you have to improve your experience in the Champions League - it's totally different.'"

The fall armyworm poses a major threat to food security and agricultural trade, warns the Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International (Cabi).
It says farmers' livelihoods are at risk as the non-native insect threatens to reach Asia and the Mediterranean.
The Food and Agriculture Organization plans emergency talks on the issue.
The fall armyworm, so called because it eats its way through most of the vegetation in its way as it marches through crops, is native to North and South America but was identified for the first time in Africa last year.
Cabi chief scientist Dr Matthew Cock said: "This invasive species is now a serious pest spreading quickly in tropical Africa and with the potential to spread to Asia.
"Urgent action will be needed to prevent devastating losses to crops and farmers' livelihoods."
Scientists think the caterpillar or its eggs may have reached the continent through imported produce.
Once established in an area, the adult moths can fly large distances and spread rapidly.
Dr Jayne Crozier, of Cabi, said the fall armyworm's presence had now been confirmed in west Africa and was thought to be present in the south and east of the continent, many parts of which rely on maize for their staple diet.
"It's possibly been there for some time and it's causing a lot of damage now," she told BBC News.
"The recent discovery of fall armyworm in Africa will be a huge threat to food security and also to trade in the region."
The FAO is to hold an emergency meeting in Harare between 14 and 16 February to decide emergency responses to the fall armyworm threat.
It says the pest has been confirmed in Zimbabwe and preliminary reports suggest it may also be present in Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia.
An investigation by Cabi has found that the fall armyworm is established in Ghana.
Experts at Cabi say it could take several years to develop effective methods to control the pest.
And they say there is confusion over the identity of the fall armyworm as it is similar to other types of armyworm, which are already present in Africa.
Zambia has used army planes to spray affected areas with insecticides.

Members of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said Peter Clarke's Government-commissioned report into allegations of a hardline Muslim take-over of schools was more thorough.
The two reports differed in their conclusions, although neither found evidence of extremism in the schools.
Birmingham City Council would not comment on the inquiry process.
It said: "This was an independent review. The terms of reference are published in Ian Kershaw's report."
Peter Clarke's report said there had been a coordinated attempt to introduce an "aggressive Islamist agenda" into some Birmingham schools and criticised the city council for not acting sooner.
Ian Kershaw's investigation for the city council found "no evidence of a conspiracy" and said individuals had encouraged certain Islamic principles in an attempt to "raise standards".
Rob Kelsall, from the NAHT, sat on the Kershaw review panel and said witnesses were put off giving evidence to that inquiry because they were asked for their names.
"It was a massive barrier. I know of one witness, a head teacher, who made a phone call to the inquiry hotline," he said.
"She was told she was not able to give a statement unless she gave her name, address and the school's details.
"I know she gave evidence to the Clarke inquiry but not the Kershaw inquiry."
He claimed the witness who volunteered details of a social media group called the Park View Brotherhood had not given evidence to the Kershaw report "because of issues of trust". Mr Clarke's report said that group included "grossly intolerant" messages.
Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, head teacher of Anderton Park Primary School in Sparkhill, said the inquiries were carried out differently.
She said she had an interview with a law firm which worked on the Kershaw review, and the firm said "tell us what you know with a blank piece of paper".
"With Clarke, the interviewer already had an incredible amount of information about me and my school going back years and asked specific, probing questions. It was more thorough," she said.
Mr Kelsall said: "In light of the Peter Clarke inquiry's outcome and recommendations, the council ought to review the Kershaw review to ensure any evidence identified by Clarke has been recognised."
The notice comes a month after Donald Trump formally backed the project in one of his first acts as US president.
Thousands of predominantly Native American protesters have boycotted the $3.8bn (£3bn) pipeline's construction in the state of North Dakota.
The Standing Rock Tribe vowed to fight the decision in court.
Trump backs Keystone XL and Dakota Access
Dakota Pipeline: What's behind the controversy?
The 1,172 mile (1,886km), four-state project is almost finished except for a one-mile stretch under Lake Oahe in North Dakota, where demonstrators have set up protest encampments.
The Army's statement on Tuesday said: "The Department of the Army announced today that it has completed a presidential-directed review of the remaining easement request for the Dakota Access pipeline, and has notified Congress that it intends to grant an easement."
Easement is a special permit that allows a company to cross private land.
Final approval is expected to be announced as soon as Wednesday.
Standing Rock Sioux lawyers said approval of the project cannot be "legally granted at this time".
But North Dakota's two US senators welcomed the Army's announcement.
As the spring thaw approaches, opponents of the pipeline who have maintained their protest through the bitter winter months are full of fighting talk.
There has been a great deal of activity at the main Oceti Sakowin site on the Cannonball river as its occupants strike camp in preparation for annual flooding.
An attempt to set up an alternative camp on land owned by the pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners was short-lived, and resulted in 75 arrests (taking the total since August close to 700) but at least three new camps have been established in recent days.
Among those arrested was Chase Iron Eyes, a prominent member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who says he is facing five years in jail on charges - which he denies - of inciting a riot and criminal trespass.
Mr Iron Eyes and other tribal leaders have issued a call for "water protectors" - as the demonstrators call themselves - who left for the winter to return.
Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat, said the decision brought "certainty and clarity", while John Hoeven, a Republican, said the pipeline would serve the nation's need for new energy infrastructure.
Environmental groups, including Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the Center for Biological Diversity, issued statements criticising the decision.
They accused the Trump administration of putting corporate profits ahead of Native Americans and the environment.
Nearly 700 people have been arrested since protests first began last year, according to law enforcement officials.
Just last week 76 protesters were arrested after refusing to leave land owned by the energy company.
The proposed crossing point for the pipeline is upstream from the tribe's territory, raising fears that any rupture could threaten drinking water supplies.
The pipeline's owner, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, says the project is safe.
In September, the Obama administration announced that it would not allow the project to proceed.
Just before President Trump's inauguration, the Army Corp of Engineers took steps to launch a full environmental impact study of the project.
But days after the new Republican president took office he issued a memorandum ordering the Army "to review and approve in an expedited manner".
Pipeline supporters say it will allow North Dakota oil to be transported more cheaply, allowing the US industry to better compete with Canada.
In 2011, she was acquitted on the basis of DNA evidence but prosecutors successfully appealed and her acquittal was struck down.
In 2014 she was again found guilty in absentia after a retrial and sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail. The saga came to and end when Italy's highest court overturned the convictions of Ms Knox and her former boyfriend, Italian student Raffaele Sollecito in March 2015.
Amanda Knox, who had vowed never to willingly return to Italy, said she was "tremendously relieved and grateful" when the final ruling was announced.
Meredith Kercher's body was found in her bedroom in the house she shared with Ms Knox and others in Perugia, an Italian university town where the two young women were exchange students.
Her throat had been slashed and she had been sexually assaulted.
Prosecutors argue that Ms Kercher was the victim of a drug-fuelled sex game gone wrong.
Both Ms Knox and Mr Sollecito denied any guilt, saying they were not even in the apartment that night, although they admitted having smoked marijuana and that their memories may have been clouded.
Rudy Guede, from the Ivory Coast, is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence for his part in the murder.
At her original trial, Ms Knox said she feared "having the mask of a murderer forced on to my skin".
The explanation offered by prosecutors and feverish media was that she was that most-loved of villains - the middle-class monster whose appearance hides a diabolical soul.
Her moniker in tabloids became "Foxy Knoxy", which was Knox's own name on her MySpace page.
One Italian commentator described her as having "the face of an angel but the eyes of a killer".
A lawyer reportedly accused her of being "dirty inside and out", a "she-devil, a diabolical person focused on sex, drugs and alcohol, living life to the extreme and borderline".
Elements of her reaction to the murder and her lifestyle in Italy appear to have driven this determination to demonise Ms Knox.
As she waited to be questioned in a police station, she reportedly "did the splits and a cartwheel in one of the rooms", according to a senior police official, quoted by the UK's Daily Telegraph newspaper.
"I told them it was not appropriate," the official, Domenico Giacinto Profazio, later said in court.
Reporters who dug up her past life in Seattle found the University of Washington student had been fined in 2007 for her role in a drunken party that police were called to.
A picture was painted of a "party girl" who abused drink and drugs and had an active sex life.
It emerged that she had written a short story on a social networking site about a man who drugs and rapes a young girl. In it, one character remarks: "A thing you have to know about chicks is that they don't know what they want."
In letters to his father from prison, Raffaele Sollecito wrote: "The Amanda I know... lives a carefree life... Her only thought is the pursuit of pleasure."
But he added: "Even the thought that she could be a killer is impossible for me."
After his release, Mr Sollecito said they were no longer in a relationship and Knox had found a new boyfriend.
Ms Knox, 27, has been living back in her home city Seattle and working as a freelance reporter for small weekly newspaper the West Seattle Herald, her editor told The Guardian. She is also engaged to a musician.
A book she wrote, Waiting to Be Heard, was published in April 2013. The memoir is a vivid personal account of the difficulties of prison life in Italy, complete with claims about inappropriate behaviour by staff.
But in other documents written at the time of her incarceration, she was more sanguine about her experience, journalist Andrea Vogt wrote for BBC News last year.
Around the same time as the book launch, she gave her first interview since leaving prison, to US broadcaster ABC, saying claims that she is a "she-devil" and "heartless manipulator" are all wrong.
"I was in the courtroom [in Italy] when they were calling me 'devil'," Ms Knox said in the interview.
"It's one thing to be called certain things in the media and then it's another thing to be sitting in a courtroom, fighting for your life, while people are calling you a devil.
"For all intents and purposes, I was a murderer - whether I was or not. And I had to live with the idea that that would be my life."
Her family have stood by her, reportedly spending huge sums of money on lawyers and publicists, as well as travel and living costs, during the fight to free their daughter.
They had helped fund their daughter's year in Italy in order to further her Italian, German and creative writing studies.
Another image of Amanda Knox at the time of the murder is that of a non-drinker and non-smoker, who declared her favourite pursuits to be yoga and backpacking.
This was a young woman who listed among her favourite films Shrek and The Full Monty, and who liked listening to The Beatles and reading Harry Potter books.
On a tribute website, family and friends wrote about the girl who excelled at sports and school plays; a "smart, fun, affectionate and loyal" person who bought sandwiches for homeless people and nursed sick friends.
Days ahead of the retrial in September 2014, Amanda Knox announced she would not return to Italy for the process.
She later wrote a five-page email, which was read out in court, insisting she "didn't kill Meredith" but was afraid to appear in person for fear of wrongful conviction.
After the final ruling on 27 March 2015, which ended her saga once and for all, Amanda Knox said that knowing she was innocent had given her "strength in the darkest times of this ordeal".
The Ford Fiesta was reversed through the doors of East Tilbury Library, Essex, in the early hours of Friday.
The library was the home of the Bata Heritage Centre - a commemoration of the British Bata Shoe Co Ltd, which once employed 3,000 people in the town.
Heritage centre chairman Mike Tarbard said many "priceless" items in the collection had been destroyed.
He added: "It is devastating. We have lost everything in display cabinets.
"The bigger problem is the loss to the community of a meeting place and library and the use of computers."
The British Bata Shoe Co Ltd was a major employer for about 70 years, from the 1930s onwards.
Mr Tarbard said: "If it was not for the factory, this community would not have existed.
"It closed in the 2000s, but a library manager thought there was story to tell and started the centre."
Donna Welsh, who lives near the library, said: "At about 04:30 the car reversed into the library and flames were whipping out all over the place.
"There were flames everywhere."
The fire service dealt with the blaze, which it said was deliberate, by about 05:30 GMT.
Thurrock councillor Sue MacPherson, portfolio holder for neighbourhoods, said she was liaising with police and the fire service over the immediate future of the library.
Rangers beat Derby County 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Saturday.
Victory secured a top-flight return at the first attempt for the London club.
But it may give the Football League a problem recovering a huge sum in Financial Fair Play penalties.
Any Football League club that exceeds an £8m loss for the 2013-14 campaign when their accounts are submitted by 1 December this year is subject to a punishment.
As the 2012-13 accounts of QPR Holdings Limited posted losses of £65.4m, with a wage bill of £68m, it is not hard to envisage another hefty deficit this term given the Loftus Road outfit have lost out on about £50m in television money.
The rules encourage clubs to manage their finances in a way that allows the club to be sustainable
The present parachute payments do not come close to covering those losses because relegated clubs receive £60m over four years.
QPR may have loaned out a number of high-earning players, including Loic Remy and Adel Taraabt, but many others remain, not all of whom featured in the play-off semi-final win over Wigan.
"If QPR or any club breaches the Financial Fair Play rules, there is a system in place that calculates the potential sanctions," said Ian Clayden, a football financial expert, speaking before Saturday's final.
"For the Championship, if a club is promoted to the Premier League there is a calculation table which calculates tax, if you will, on the club, based on spending over and above the acceptable limits."
In 2012, after two years of detailed discussions, the Football League and its clubs agreed on a Financial Fair Play framework across all three of its divisions.
A Football League statement said at the time that the framework aims to "reduce the levels of losses being incurred at some clubs and, over time, establish a league of financially self-sustaining professional football clubs".
It went on to say "the decision to adopt Financial Fair Play regulations follows a strategic review by the Football League board which identified the state of club finances as the organisation's biggest challenge".
Clayden said the rules were put in place because sustainability of football clubs is a key concern of the Football League. "The rules encourage clubs to manage their finances in a way that allows the club to be sustainable," he said.
Had QPR remained in the Football League, they would have faced a transfer embargo until such time as they could "demonstrate they were on track to record acceptable losses or profit".
However, having secured promotion to the Premier League, they will be subject to a fine. A club is allowed to lose up to £8m without sanction. Above that level, there is a sliding scale on the next £10m of losses, with a maximum fine of £6.681m.
Once losses exceed £18m, the fine is imposed on a strict pound-for-pound basis.
So, should there be an overall loss of £30m, the Football League would be left chasing almost £19m. If it was £50m, the figure would be nearly £39m and if QPR were to match last year's loss, their fine would be almost £54m.
Not really. The regulations have attracted plenty of criticism from member clubs. For some, the parachute payments, coupled with the £8m losses allowed, distort the finances of relegated clubs.
Earlier this month, Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn said Championship clubs were hopeful of changing the Financial Fair Play rules because the boundaries were unrealistic.
"We are trying to have the boundaries extended," Mostyn told BBC Radio Solent. "Everyone recognises that, with clubs coming into the Championship with a first-season £23m parachute payment, something has to be done."
Mostyn recently criticised the Financial Fair Play rules for being implemented before the parachute payments deal. "The current limitations were decided by a group of people who are no longer playing in the Championship," he said.
"There are only about 40% of the clubs playing in the Championship that had anything to do with those and it was prior to the huge parachute payments deal."
However, all four proposals - three of them related to boosting the level of losses and owner investment permitted - were defeated in a vote by the 24 clubs.
The fourth proposal was for the rules to be imposed based on 'real time' financial figures instead of the existing retrospective system but it, too, failed to attract the necessary 75% backing.
Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said other alternatives would now be examined.
The Premier League has previously told the Football League it would have no involvement in retrieving the money, considering the matter to be none of its business.
Therefore, it would not withhold any television cash from the Hoops, forcing the Football League to actively pursue QPR for any financial penalty.
Clayden said: "It creates an added level of complexity as to whether or not one association or organisation can fine one member of another."
The situation is further complicated by the fact that any fine, instead of being distributed amongst other Football League clubs, would go to charity.
The Football League believe its regulations are robust enough for them to be enforced but, given the potential sums involved, the chance of them being challenged in the courts is high.
Derby will no doubt feel aggrieved if QPR escape any kind of sanction - the Rams have operated within the regulations in the last financial year, posting a loss of £7.1m.
They - and others - would argue that the Financial Fair Play regulations are worthless if they have no teeth.
Cheryl Howe was told by medics to "prepare for the worst" when daughter Sharon was given only a 30% chance of survival after smoking Spice.
The 15-year-old from Morecambe was put into a medically-induced coma for 40 hours after collapsing.
She said she took the drug unknowingly after it was added into a joint.
Spice is the name given to a range of drugs which previously fell under the category of so-called "legal highs" before being banned in May.
Some experts this "synthetic cannabis" can be up to 100 times as potent as the drug it mimics.
Ms Howe said they decided to publish the pictures to warn other parents and, since going public, there has been a positive reaction on social media.
"So far about 30 girls have messaged [Sharon] to tell her they won't be touching it and encouraging their friends not to take it," she said.
"I'm proud that the photograph has done some good."
Sharon has since made a full recovery and started a college course.
Baby and adult ashes were mixed together at the crematorium and given back to relatives of the adult.
The parents of infants were told there were no ashes.
Families affected will be given a closing date to lodge a claim for compensation. The council has not confirmed when that date will be.
BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated in Aberdeen over a five-year period.
It followed similar revelations about Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh, which had been secretly burying baby ashes for decades.
A report into the scandal by Dame Elish Angiolini described the practices as "abhorrent".
The council is working with bereaved families on a memorial.
An interim director was put in place last month at the department criticised over the baby ashes scandal.
Bernadette Marjoram takes over the role held by Pete Leonard, who was responsible for communities, housing and infrastructure.
His duties included overseeing Hazlehead Crematorium.
That is not an argument that would convince Gail from Neath, one of the callers to the Jason Mohammad show on BBC Radio Wales on Monday.
Gail took Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb to task for not being born in what she called the heart of Wales - the Valleys and North Wales. She told him forcefully he was therefore unable to understand the impact of the Tata steel job losses in Port Talbot.
"I was born in Scotland and grew up in Wales," pleaded the Preseli Pembrokeshire MP. "That doesn't make you Welsh," insisted Gail. "I know you are the Welsh secretary but you are not Welsh."
Mr Crabb is not the first Welsh politician to have been born elsewhere. David Lloyd George was born in Manchester; Lord Wigley in Derby, [Stephen Crabb's shadow] Nia Griffith in Dublin and Kirsty Williams in Somerset.
Other politicians can boast strong affiliations to the areas they serve without having been born there: the Mayor of London and future Tory leadership contender Boris Johnson was born in New York.
But I digress. Most of the 'phone-in focused rightly on the steel jobs announcement, which is being comprehensively covered elsewhere. Mr Crabb told callers that the Port Talbot plant was losing £1m a day.
Jason tried valiantly to discover how the secretary of state will vote in the forthcoming referendum on Britain's membership of the EU. Mr Crabb is a fan of the single market and said he would not want to lose that if Britain left, although he said he wasn't one of those who lost sleep worrying about Britain's future outside the EU.
So how will he vote? "If we get the renegotiation that we are talking about, and it does hinge on that, four really key areas where we are talking to Europe about changing they way Britain is part of the European Union, if we land that, then I think that the pragmatic decision will be to stay in.
"But let's have that conversation when we are nearer the time and we know what the renegotiation package is."
That "renegotiation package" may become known within a month or so, so we may not have long to find out. Perhaps the key word in his comments today is "pragmatic".
Mr Crabb was also asked about the debate over whether or not Donald Trump should be banned from the UK. His reply was rather less ambiguous than his comments about the EU: "I think it's a ridiculous debate to have in parliament on a day when we're talking about the future of the steel industry in Wales. We're talking about the stupid views of a stupid man in another country, 3,000 miles away."
The inquests have been hearing about the final movements of James Aspinall.
Former police officer Robert Fox told the jury he placed his tunic over the 18-year-old Liverpool fan "out of respect" as he thought he was dead.
Footage of him lying alone as people initially stepped over him was shown.
Mr Aspinall was one of 96 football fans fatally injured in a terrace crush at the Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield on 15 April 1989.
Speaking after the hearing, Margaret Aspinall - who became chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group in the years after the disaster - said she had found watching the footage difficult.
"I have not dealt with today very well to be honest with you," she said.
"In the past, how I have dealt with it is to put James to one side and help [the] other families.
"But today I knew for the first time in 26 years I definitely had to concentrate on my own son. And for me today - it was like a kick in the teeth."
She added: "You see your son lying on a pitch with a coat over him for about three or four minutes and nobody doing anything to help him.
"We still don't know whether he was alive or dead - and that I have got to live with for the rest of my life.
"But it's just a relief to get James's inquest over because it has been a hard, hard journey.
"The best way I can describe it is like climbing a mountain, but I still have not reached the peak. The peak is hopefully yet to come and maybe we will have peace.
"I want closure on Hillsborough and the only way we can get closure is by truth and justice, and hopefully we will get that."
Earlier, the court heard how fans had lifted Mr Aspinall on to an advertising hoarding and carried him away from the Leppings Lane terrace where the crush took place.
He was pronounced dead at 15:54 BST - nearly an hour after the match had kicked off - by a doctor in a temporary mortuary which had been set up near the stadium.
He was not formally identified by his father, James Aspinall Sr, who watched the match from a different part of the ground, until the next day.
The teenager travelled to the match by bus, the court heard, and his father initially heard all of the passengers on that bus had been accounted for.
Still worried, he checked with hospitals in Sheffield whether his son had been admitted but his name was not on any lists.
Reading his statement, Christina Lambert QC, counsel for the inquests, said: "They decided to drive back to Liverpool thinking and hoping that James may be on the bus.
"On their arrival home they went to the bus station with James's mother Margaret and waited for all the buses to arrive.
"The last bus arrived but James was not on it."
The jury saw footage of him on the terrace at 14:56.
He was next identified 30 minutes later, lying on the pitch with a police officer crouched beside him as a St John Ambulance volunteer approached.
Mr Fox said he was "90% sure" he was the person who took off his jacket and placed it over Mr Aspinall's head before moving away.
In a statement he gave in 1990 he said he attempted to resuscitate him for "a few minutes".
Michael Mansfield QC, on behalf of the Aspinall family, suggested to Mr Fox the possibility that he made "a rapid assessment that he had died without doing the normal checks".
Mr Fox replied: "I would have not put my tunic over somebody thinking they might still be alive."
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, are due to resume on Thursday.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
The visitors to Murrayfield on Saturday in the Six Nations opener are without Sexton and flanker Peter O'Mahony.
"Ireland will have known he's been struggling and will have been training to cover that," said Laidlaw.
"They have strength in depth in Paddy Jackson - that has been the key to Ireland's success."
Ireland also have Munster fly-half Ian Keatley as an able stand-in for Sexton, who Laidlaw described as "a quality player".
However, the Gloucester scrum-half insisted the Leinster man's absence would not affect the approach of a confident Scotland squad, many of whose members, he said, have been buoyed by their performances in Europe for Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh.
"The coaches have done some in-depth analysis and we have a game plan that we think can give us the best chance of winning," said Laidlaw.
"We've got a really good feeling within the group and we've been developing our skills under [head coach] Vern [Cotter]. We're excited but we've got our feet firmly fixed on the floor.
"There is definitely more about the group, for sure, but the proof is in the results and the performances.
"We're not looking any further than the first game. It's imperative you get off to a good start and traditionally Scotland haven't.
"It's at Murrayfield, it's a sell-out crowd and we're hugely excited about it. The fans are really starting to connect with this team.
"Last year I felt we made strides forward, we won two games in the Championship and we want to win more than that this year. It is a really tough competition."
Laidlaw identified stifling Ireland's chances from set plays as being key to Scotland's hopes.
"They base their game on possession, keep hold of the ball, try to get penalties and try to get field position from them," he added.
"They like to launch their game from line-outs in our half so we need to be squeaky clean, make no mistakes and don't give them a platform to launch off."
Meanwhile, Scotland prop Willem Nel, who had already been ruled out of the Six Nations, has undergone surgery on a damaged intervertebral disc in his neck.
Nel has been out since picking up the injury in Edinburgh's win over Harlequins on 14 January.

Leeds were in charge from the moment that Brett Delaney's early try was awarded by the video referee.
On top of former Hull FC winger Briscoe's haul of tries, Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow and Brad Singleton also crossed.
And captain Kevin Sinfield kicked seven goals on his final Wembley appearance.
Briscoe beat the mark of another Leeds player, Leroy Rivett, who scored four times in the Rhinos' 52-16 win over London Broncos in 1999, and earned the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match.
Sinfield's 14 points with the boot added extra spice to an afternoon when the rugby union-bound Leeds skipper along with 37-year-old veteran Jamie Peacock, was saying his Wembley farewell.
Rovers, with fit-again Albert Kelly back in the team for the first time since the semi-final win over Warrington, needed to start well against the favourites.
But they were on the back foot from the moment that Leeds' opening try was awarded by the video referee in the seventh minute.
Leeds then struck twice in three minutes as McGuire touched down from Joel Moon's inside pass before Briscoe danced his way over down the same right flank.
Any hopes Rovers might have had of turning it around depended on being the first side to score after the break.
But they were shattered when Briscoe jumped highest to take a Maurice Blair up-and-under, tiptoed his way clear of any challengers and then went the length of the field, just evading the late challenge of covering winger Ken Sio to score his second try.
Replacement forward Singleton then went in down the right, before Briscoe completed his hat-trick in the same corner. And in the final seven minutes replacement scrum-half Burrow went clear to score before Briscoe grabbed two more to create further history.
Leeds' veteran prop Peacock lost the ball in a challenge from Rovers forward Kevin Larroyer as he attempted to barge his way over the line in only the seventh minute.
After the ball ran loose and Delaney followed up to ground the ball, referee Ben Thaler referred the decision upstairs.
The video referee adjudged that Peacock had not been tackled fairly and that the ball had been 'stripped' from his grasp, meaning 'play on' and, when Sinfield added the extras from in front of the posts, the afternoon went downhill for Rovers from then on.
Leeds skipper Sinfield and Peacock both ended up as Wembley winners for the second time.
Sinfield has captained the Rhinos in all of his seven finals, breaking St Helens great Eric Ashton's record for the most appearances as a skipper.
In his final Wembley appearance before switching codes at the end of the season to join Yorkshire Carnegie, Sinfield kicked seven goals before stepping forward to lift the trophy for the second time in two years.
Peacock, three years Sinfield's senior at 37, was also appearing in his seventh final before he retires at the end of the season to join Hull KR as football manager.
He had twice been a Challenge Cup winner with Bradford, in addition to last year's victory with Leeds. But, while both those winner's medals for the Bulls came against his current side, they also both came while Wembley was being rebuilt - at Murrayfield, in 2000, and at the Millennium Stadium, in 2003.

The Challenge Cup final has never been short of emotion since it was first contested by Wigan and Dewsbury at Wembley in 1928.
And the annual rendition of the rugby league hymn Abide With Me has always been a well-supported part of the occasion.
It was especially emotional this year as it was sung by Lizzie Jones, the widow of rugby league player Danny Jones, who died in May of a previously undetected hereditary heart disease after collapsing during a game between his club Keighley Cougars and London Skolars.
Lizzie Jones, a professional singer, earned a standing ovation as, accompanied at the end of her performance by the couple's nine-month-old twins, she brought tears to many eyes.
Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield told BBC Sport:
"It's my last Challenge Cup final and I'm so pleased to have got another winner's medal. I feel very proud to have played for a great club for so long. We wanted to end the right way and win trophies on the way out.
"Our forwards were outstanding and we got the job done with a real team performance. And I'm really pleased for Tom Briscoe. To do that in a final takes some doing.
"I know how tough it is to lose here so I really feel for Hull KR. The scoreboard might not reflect it, but they still gave us a real game."
Hull KR captain Tyrone McCarthy told BBC Sport:
"At half-time we felt relatively happy. We were still in the game, even at 16-0.
"We were competing and matching them and we had chances but, in finals, in big games like this, you've got to take them.
"In the second half, there were simply too many errors."
Hull KR: Dixon, Mantellato, Welham, Salter, Sio, Blair, Kelly, Walker, Lunt, Puletua, Larroyer, Horne, McCarthy.
Replacements: Boudebza, Donaldson, Tilse, Allgood.
Leeds: Hardaker, T. Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall, Sinfield, McGuire, Garbutt, Cuthbertson, Peacock, S. Ward, Ablett, Delaney.
Replacements: Burrow, Leuluai, Achurch, Singleton.
Att: 80,140

However, almost one in 10 people of no religion say they do believe the Easter story, but it has "some content that should not be taken literally".
A fifth of non-religious people believe in life after death, the poll suggests.
The Church of England said it showed many people held religious beliefs.
ComRes surveyed 2,010 British adults by telephone, between 2 and 12 February 2017. The research was commissioned by BBC local radio for Palm Sunday.
The survey suggested:
Reverend Dr Lorraine Cavenagh is the acting general secretary for Modern Church, which promotes liberal Christian theology.
She said: "I think [people answering the survey] are being asked to believe in the way they might have been asked to believe when they were at Sunday school.
"You're talking about adults here. And an adult faith requires that it be constantly questioned, constantly re-interpreted, which incidentally is very much what modern church is actually about.
"Science, but also intellectual and philosophical thought has progressed. It has a trickle-down effect on just about everybody's lives.
"So to ask an adult to believe in the resurrection the way they did when they were at Sunday school simply won't do and that's true of much of the key elements of the Christian faith."
Respondents were split evenly on the issue of life after death. While the majority of Christians say they do believe, just 46% of the general public do and 46% do not. The remaining 8% say they do not know.
Examples of life after death given in the survey included heaven, hell and reincarnation.
Three in ten Christians surveyed (31%) said they did not believe in life after death.
However a fifth of non-religious people surveyed said they did (21%).
Commenting for the Church of England, the Bishop of Manchester, the Right Reverend David Walker, said: "This important and welcome survey proves that many British people, despite not being regular churchgoers, hold core Christian beliefs.
"Alongside them it finds surprisingly high levels of religious belief among those who follow no specific religion, often erroneously referred to as secularists or atheists.
"This demonstrates how important beliefs remain across our society and hence the importance both of religious literacy and of religion having a prominent place in public discourse."
The survey found women were more likely to believe in life after death than men, around 56% of women surveyed compared with 36% of men.
Of those who did believe in life after death, two thirds of those surveyed (65%) said they thought their souls would go to "another life" such as heaven or hell while a third thought they would be reincarnated (32%).
Professor Linda Woodhead, of the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University, said: "This polling confirms that Britain is now split down the middle between those who call themselves Christian and those who say no religion, but this is not a simple division between religious and secular.
"A significant proportion of Christians don't believe in life after death and a significant number of the non-religious do.
"Belief in a soul and an afterlife persists, including amongst young people, even though belief in the resurrection of Christ and the authority of the Church and the Bible are in decline."
Almost two in five Christians surveyed say that they never attend religious services (37%).
Just one fifth say they attend every week (20%).
However, younger Christians were more likely than older Christians to say they regularly attend religious services.
Two in five 18-24 year old Christians (41%) surveyed and 25-34 year old Christians (42%) say they attend a service at least once a month, compared with about a quarter of 45-54 year olds (22%) and 55-64 year olds (26%).
In the survey, people were asked to choose whether they believed in the resurrection of Jesus "word-for-word" as described in the Bible, whether they believed it happened but that some of the Bible content should "not be taken literally", whether they did not believe in the resurrection or whether they did not know.

About 700 Welsh employers will be affected when the UK-wide levy is introduced on 6 April.
An assembly committee said Welsh Government engagement about the charge had been "patchy" and employers were confused.
The Welsh Government said it was helping to "minimise" its impact.
All employers with a wage bill of more than £3m a year will pay a 0.5% levy towards the apprenticeship scheme in England.
The UK government has said Wales will get around £130m a year from its share of the levy, but Welsh Ministers have disputed this.
A report published by the assembly's Economy Committee on Wednesday said the tax had "considerable implications" for devolved areas and had been introduced without the assembly being consulted.
Committee chairman Russell George said businesses still had concerns about the introduction of the levy next week and ministers "must re-double efforts" to clear things up.
"While the Welsh Government published detailed new documentation immediately prior to giving evidence to the Committee, engagement with employers over the last year has been patchy and employers still have questions about what they'll get for their money," he said.
The Conservative AM repeated calls for the UK government to ask the assembly's permission before imposing charges devolved in Wales.
The report makes 13 recommendations to the Welsh Government, including lobbying the UK government to make sure schools are not adversely affected by the change.
The Welsh Government has pledged to create at least 100,000 high quality all-age apprenticeships over the next five years.
A spokesman said the apprenticeship levy "directly conflicts with areas of devolved responsibility" and overlooked its own approach in Wales.
"To help minimise its impact on employers and learners the Welsh Government is taking a different approach to its counterparts in England - one which is better aligned to and supports the growing needs, of Wales, its people and economy," he said.
"We will consider the recommendations of this report in detail and respond formally in due course."
A report by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) said items worth £1m were seized in Cheetham Hill, in 2013.
Fake clothing, footwear, hair straighteners and cigarettes have all been seized in the area.
Intellectual Property Minister Baroness Neville-Rolfe said she had raised concerns about the "counterfeiting hotbed" that continues to thrive there.
She said there would now be a concerted effort to disrupt the activity of crime groups.
The report said the concentration of counterfeiters in the area has "negative consequences for the local community and economy, as well as the harm of associated criminality such as money laundering, organised crime group involvement, drug dealing and violence".
Baroness Neville-Rolfe said: "This trade, where income tax and consumer safety is simply ignored, undercuts and undermines legitimate businesses and allows other criminality to be funded and flourish."
She said the report "signals the start of a concerted effort to disrupt and dismantle organised crime groups operating in nationally significant trade".
"Despite these efforts, the problem is so engrained in the fabric of everyday life in the area that the problem persists, with the businesses often operational again within days of action being taken," she added.
The thriving clothing trade in the area is a "front for criminal sales of counterfeits," according to the report.
It said: "Amongst law enforcement, [copy]rights-holders and in the media, Cheetham Hill is anecdotally referred to as 'Counterfeit Street'.
"It is indicative of the entrenched criminal culture of the area that the trade in counterfeit goods has continued despite regular enforcement action and high-volume seizures."
But Councillor Nigel Murphy, Manchester City Council's executive member for neighbourhoods, said: "Our trading standards officers have been working closely with Greater Manchester Police and other agencies to crack down on counterfeiting in Cheetham Hill for a number of years, and we have seized huge amounts of counterfeit items.
"However, the scale of these criminal operations, and the fact that counterfeiters are also involved in a range of other criminal activities, means that a more co-ordinated approach is needed to deal with the issue."
The report stated "no single agency" can tackle the problem.
Mr Murphy added:"I welcome that the government has recognised this issue and look forward to our officers working as part of a wider partnership to tackle the counterfeit trade."
Nationally, there were 75,000 counterfeit goods seized in 2014/15 with an estimated retail value of £2.5m.
A water district contractor, Jim Mimlitz, has said he logged into the Illinois utility's control system while on holiday in Russia in June.
Months later, after a water pump burned out, a repairman highlighted the login from the Russian IP address.
Mr Mimlitz said no-one had contacted him before a report was published blaming hackers.
The Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center (ISTIC) claimed cyber attackers had obtained access using stolen login names and passwords.
It claimed that a pump used to pipe water to thousands of homes was damaged after being repeatedly powered on and off.
The information was then leaked to a security blogger who published the information on the web, from where it was picked up by news agencies.
The incident was described as potentially the first successful attack on US infrastructure.
However, the FBI and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later played down the story saying: "There is no evidence to support claims made in the initial... report - which was based on raw, unconfirmed data."
Mr Mimlitz said he met the FBI and DHS last week to explain that he had taken a call on his mobile phone while on holiday and had been asked to check data held by a water district in central Illinois.
He said he did not mention the fact that he was in Russia at the time, and it appeared that those involved in the original investigation had assumed that he would not have been abroad.
"A quick and simple phone call to me right away would have defused the whole thing immediately," he said.
A writer for the Control Global blog, which published the leaked report, warned that the affair still raised security issues.
"Nobody checked with anybody. Lots of people assumed things they shouldn't have assumed, and now it's somebody else's fault and we're into a finger-pointing marathon," wrote Nancy Bartels.
"If the public can be distracted from the issue of how DHS and ISTIC fumbled notification so badly, then nobody will be to blame, which is what's really important after all.
"Meanwhile, one of these days, there's going to be a really serious infrastructure attack, and nobody's going to pay attention because everyone is going to assume that it's another DHS screw-up."
The Exiles are currently 20th in League Two, five points above the drop zone.
Current leaders Northampton are nine points clear after battling relegation for much of last season and Feeney believes his team can emulate them.
"The (Northampton) players weren't even being paid (in October 2015), but stability is the key word in this division," he explained.
"It is a long-term picture for me. My family are settled in the area and it is a great club.
"I want to stay here for a long time and with good players, I think we could have a right chance (of promotion)."
Feeney feels March will be a "defining," month for Newport, with eight games go play, and the manager may look to make further signings with such a gruelling schedule.
"It is something we are looking at. It is likely to be a defining and important month," he said.
"We would like to strengthen in the middle of the park."
The manager confirmed that on-loan goalkeeper Mitchell Beaney has returned to parent club Chelsea with Joe Day back from suspension for County.
Striker Deane Smalley has a knee injury and has returned to Plymouth, though his loan has not been terminated as the severity of the injury is assessed.
MSPs reached this conclusion after a heated and occasionally acrimonious debate which, nevertheless, contrived to stay short of offensive or threatening mode.
Remember the Act? It criminalised sectarian and other offensive behaviour linked to football which is likely to cause public disorder.
When enacted four years ago, it also outlawed threats of serious harm and communications intended to incite religious hatred, including such comments when posted online.
There was much talk in the debate of "sending signals". Now, one might question whether the criminal law - as exercised in Scotland's judicial system - is a fitting vehicle for the despatch of signals.
But it remains a salient point. Labour's James Kelly - who has pressed most vigorously for repeal - argues that you do not send messages against sectarianism by criminalising one section of society: football fans, generally young men under the age of 20.
He argues that the signal against sectarianism is better delivered by education and social persuasion.
Ministers say that such avenues undoubtedly play a key role - but that there remains the need for society to state its vigorous opposition, via statute.
All the other Opposition parties joined the campaign against the Act. Tonight's motion indeed - which was carried by 64 votes to 63 - was proposed by Douglas Ross of the Conservatives, himself a football referee who ran the line at the Aberdeen-Celtic game at the weekend.
He called the Act "deeply flawed". Likewise the Lib Dems and Greens - who categorised the Act as ineffective and unhelpful.
For the Scottish government, Annabelle Ewing said there remained a "darker side to Scottish football". Repeal, she argued, would suggest that Scotland appeared to accept this phenomenon. Back to message sending.
The vote went against her and the Government. So what now? Do I think the Justice Secretary Michael Matheson will tear up the act tonight?
I do not. However, ministers have signalled that they will review the legislation.
In the initial stages of that review, I expect them to focus primarily on two aspects. I expect them, firstly, to argue strongly in favour of the section of the Bill covering Online communications, to stress its worth whatever the final verdict on the football section.
I expect them, secondly, to challenge their opponents to say what might reasonably replace the Act. As of tonight, the Opposition parties are demanding straightforward repeal, arguing that existing statute - for example, on breach of the peace - is sufficient without, they argue, provoking unrest among football fans and potentially provoking conflict with the police.
The Edinburgh Salmon company, based in Dingwall, announced a loss of £407,114 for the year ending March 2015.
In the previous year, it made a profit of more than £1.1m.
The firm's strategic report says it suffered "difficult trading conditions" over the year. But its latest accounts show the company paid out a dividend to share holders of £1.5m.
It is owned by Mer invest SA of France, whose parent company is based in Thailand.
The Edinburgh Salmon Company employs 219 staff.
Recently, it has looked to grow its range of cooked and ready to eat salmon.
Federici, 32, who has made five appearances for the Cherries this term, suffered the injury in training.
"It's a real blow for us to lose Adam," said manager Eddie Howe, whose team host Manchester City on Monday.
"But knowing his character, he will dig deep and work hard to get back to fitness."
The blaze started in a parked ambulance outside the east entrance of East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, before spreading to the other two vehicles.
Huge plumes of black smoke could be seen rising into the air at the height of the fire.
Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust said there were no patients involved and everyone was safe.
The hospital was closed to emergencies following the incident, with patients being diverted through the South East Coast Ambulance Service.
Fire crews, who were called out at 14:20 BST, were able to bring the blaze under control.
Michael Wilson, chief executive of the trust, later said: "The hospital is fully open and operational.
"Grateful thanks go to our staff and the fire, police and ambulance teams for their quick response."
Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, died after she was struck on The Kingsway in Swansea on 31 March.
She is the second person to have died on the same stretch of road.
Swansea's acting senior coroner Colin Phillips said the cause of death is still unknown and the inquest was adjourned for four months.
Mr Phillips previously said the road has a "serious design issue" which must be addressed.
On Tuesday, Swansea council announced changes to bus routes on the road.
Sgt Lucas's husband Gavin was at the brief hearing and was told he can make arrangements for her funeral.
Archives released last month reveal Horst Tappert, who played Derrick in the show of the same name, had served in the Totenkopf panzer division.
Tappert, who died in 2008, had remained tight-lipped about his war record.
According to the archives, the 19-year-old panzer grenadier was wounded on the Eastern Front in 1943.
With its motto "My Honour Is Loyalty", the Totenkopf (skull) division became one of the most ruthless units of the Waffen SS - the combat arm of Hitler's SS paramilitary force.
ZDF, the German public TV broadcaster, said it would not show any more repeats of the 281 episodes of Derrick, which were made between 1974 and 1998.
"ZDF is shocked and troubled by the news that Horst Tappert was a member of the Waffen SS," spokesman Peter Bogenschuetz told AFP news agency.
"We have no plans to broadcast any more reruns."
Generations of Germans watched the show set in Munich, with its distinctive, baggy-eyed detective.
The series was popular abroad too, shown on TV screens as far afield as Russia, China and South Africa.
Reacting to the revelations, Dutch public television channel Omroep MAX said it had scrapped plans to show around 20 episodes of Derrick from July.
"I was shocked by the news, you don't expect something like that," chairman Jan Slagter told Dutch national broadcaster NOS over the weekend. "We will not honour an actor who has lied over his past."
Bavaria's interior ministry said it was considering stripping the late actor of an honorary chief police inspector title awarded to Tappert in 1980, German media reported.
Tappert himself said of his war record only that he had served as a medic, AFP reports.
It is not the first such scandal in recent years. In 2006, another famous German, the novelist Guenther Grass, caused consternation when he revealed that he had served as a member of the Waffen SS. | Apple chief executive Tim Cook offered a part of his liver to a dying Steve Jobs, according to a new book due to be released this month.

Hitachi-GE wants to build a new type of reactor at Wylfa, with a UK stakeholder meeting over the design held in Birmingham last month.
Wylfa opponents say a similar meeting run by NRW is not public - and only open to invited guests.
But NRW said it is holding a series of public drop-in sessions on the island.
However, the campaign group People Against Wylfa B (Pawb) described the individual meeting "for a small number of invitees" being held at the old Wylfa power plant site next Monday as "an affront to democracy".
"This is totally unacceptable. On a matter as important as this, it is an insult to the people of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) and north Wales," said Dylan Morgan, from Pawb.
"To add insult to injury, it is intended to hold the meeting in a room on the Wylfa Magnox site which is far from being a neutral venue and reinforces the perception that Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Government are dancing to the nuclear industry's tune."
The UK Government is currently carrying out consultations on what is known as the generic design assessment for the type of nuclear reactor that could be built at a new Wylfa power plant.
The Japanese-American nuclear partners want to bring a new advanced boiling water reactor to the site and to the site at Oldbury in Gloucestershire.
It would be the first of its kind in the UK. A decision on the design is expected to be taken by UK ministers in December this year.
Pawb has now written to the Welsh Government's Environment Secretary Leslie Griffiths, asking her to intervene as the minister responsible for overseeing the work of NRW.
"We call on you to instruct Natural Resources Wales to rearrange a public meeting in a neutral, convenient and central location in Ynys Môn," stated Pawb.
"A meeting held to discuss the generic design assessment of the Hitachi ABWR has to be advertised openly and widely and not 'to a small number of invitees'."
However, NRW told BBC Wales that it is holding two public drop-in sessions about the design process on Anglesey next week - including an event at Cemaes on Monday and at Llangefni on Tuesday.
The environmental agency said the sessions would allow people to "learn more about the assessment and how to give their views".
"Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, enhanced and used," said Tim Jones, NRW's executive director for north and mid Wales.
"At Wylfa Newydd we will do this in three ways: assessing the design of the reactors, determining site specific environmental permits and providing advice to other organisations on decisions they need to make.
"It is our job to ensure that any new nuclear power station will meet high standards of environmental protection and waste management, ensuring that our communities are kept safe from environmental harm."
The FCA said online sales by insurers, brokers and price comparison websites could leave people unaware of the difference between paying monthly or yearly.
It said this made it difficult to compare products.
The regulator said it expected all firms to take action where necessary.
The FCA said its findings revealed that insurers and intermediaries did not always provide clear and easily understandable information about the overall cost of paying for insurance, meaning that consumers could struggle to compare the difference between paying upfront or in instalments.
In some cases, people may not realise there is a price difference between the two.
The FCA focused on the online sale of home and car insurance and followed the process up to the point where customers are required to input their payment details.
The review included 13 insurers and 30 insurance intermediaries, including four price comparison websites.
Linda Woodall, acting director of supervision at the FCA, said: "Consumers should expect clear information about the payment options available to them.
"Regardless of whether people choose to pay upfront or in instalments, it's important that they can see exactly what they are signing up for and how much it costs, so they can decide whether they are getting a fair deal."
The FCA also said firms providing regulated credit or acting as credit brokers were failing to provide a representative example setting out the interest rate, any fees or charges, a representative annual percentage rate (APR) and the total amount payable, which they are required to do.
In some cases, it was not made clear that a fee would be charged by firms using a credit broker.
A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers (ABI) said: "Insurers want to ensure that any premium finance options are clearly and fully set out as part of the sales process, so that customers know exactly how much they have to pay for their insurance.
"Our members will be carefully considering the findings of this FCA review to ensure that all motor and household insurance customers understand the cost of the different premium payment options."

The Swans are the only academy team in the quarter-finals of the competition and host Coventry, League One's bottom club, on Tuesday (19:30 GMT).
The trophy has produced record low attendances, fines for weakened teams and a manager named as a substitute.
But Toshack believes his players are better off for the experience.
"For us to develop our young men as players, it's really, really important that they play against seasoned professionals," he said.
"I can understand the different viewpoints on it.
"But we've already had a couple of our guys go out on loan to league clubs as a result of their performances.
"Overall I think it's a very good tournament and a good chance for young players to prove themselves."
Swansea were one of 10 Premier League academy sides to enter the tournament.
But none of the other nine - including Leicester and Chelsea - made it past the second round.
"It's a fantastic achievement for Swansea City as a football club," added Toshack, who coaches the side alongside Gary Richards.
"It's another opportunity to play against a men's team and prove how good they are."
Striker Oliver McBurnie scored both goals as Swansea U21 beat Wolves U21 2-1 in the third round.
He was on the bench on Saturday as Swansea beat Liverpool 3-2 in the Premier League at Anfield.
Seven-year-old Mary Shipstone was attacked in the village of Northiam. She died the next day.
Her mother, Lyndsey Shipstone said of her estranged husband Yasser Alromisse: "I was the one he hated the most."
The coroner recorded a verdict of unlawful killing for Mary and suicide for Alromisse who shot himself.
The joint Hastings inquest followed the shooting of both Mary and her 46-year-old father, on 11 September last year.
Ms Shipstone said: "Why did he kill Mary? I don't think I will ever really know that.
"He wanted to kill himself and for some reason he thought she shouldn't live without him.
"It was an act of revenge really. It has got to be.
"If he really loved her, he never would have murdered her."
Ms Shipstone had moved to Northiam with her daughter following a separation from her husband after being the victim of domestic violence.
The attack happened as Mary returned home from school with her mother to Spring Hill, a safe house where the pair had lived for the past year.
Ms Shipstone told the court: "I was putting my key in the door, and I spoke to Mary, saying she'd like what I had done to her room, and that's the last thing I said to her.
"There was a terrific sound behind me like someone had burst a balloon.
"I turned around and the first thing I saw was Mary on the ground - her legs were crumpled behind her."
She added: "I started screaming she'd been shot. She was breathing. Her jaw was clenched."
The inquest heard how Alromisse had hired private detective Paul Parton in a bid to find the woman he was still legally married to, purporting to be a friend of hers.
Mr Parton was unable to find Ms Shipstone and later withdrew his services, concerned that Alromisse's motive was to take away the child.
East Sussex coroner Alan Craze said it was not clear how Alromisse found the address, but he described the murder as a "thoroughly despicable act of violence".
The coroner also said the shooting was not in any way spontaneous, but premeditated over a long period of time.
Alromisse was hidden in the back of a silver Toyota on the drive by the house when he fired the shots.
The car windows were tinted and he had created a blind from bin bags to shield himself.
Later, his body was found in a pool of blood in the back of the car, where he had shot himself in the head.
Williams, 25, had been in line for a fresh national dual contract in which the Welsh Rugby Union would pay 60% of his wages.
But the WRU withdrew their offer amid an accusation of a bidding war among Wales' regions over Williams.
He said it is "exciting" his career will continue at Parc y Scarlets.
Williams has been on a national dual contract since March, 2015, but the WRU's controlling interest in the player will end in the summer of 2016.
He is in his second season as Scarlets vice-captain, but has been sidelined by a knee injury since Wales' 2015 World Cup win over England at Twickenham.
Jonathan Davies returns to Scarlets from Clermont Auvergne for the 2016-17 season to partner Williams in midfield.
Davies, a 2013 British and Irish Lion, has signed a national dual contract to return, giving Wales a controlling interest in him.
It means Davies' Scarlets game time can be limited to under 20 appearances per season while Williams will be more freely available to them.
Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac said: "Having him (Williams) and Jonathan Davies in the centre next season is going to be very exciting."
Williams added: "Continuing with my rugby development in Wales was vitally important to me.
"I'd like to thank the Scarlets board and backroom staff who have been supportive throughout the negotiations."
Barry McCarney, 35, challenged verdicts that he was guilty of killing Millie Martin.
He also contested charges that he subjected her to a sexual assault and grievous bodily harm.
But in court in Belfast on Friday, senior judges refused his appeal.
They rejected criticisms about the handling of applications for "no case to answer" at his trial.
Allegations of failures in how the jury was directed were also dismissed.
Lord Justice Higgins said: "We do not consider that any of the matters relied upon by the applicant rendered his trial for the murder of Millie Martin to have been unfair."
McCarney was ordered to serve a minimum 25 years of a life sentence imposed for killing the toddler.
She died in December 2009 after being admitted to hospital in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, with serious injuries. She had fractured ribs, heavy bruising and a burnt finger.
McCarney, formerly of Trillick, County Tyrone, had started a relationship with Millie's mother, Rachael, and moved into the family home in Enniskillen months before her death.
Although he was found guilty of murder, no verdict was entered on a separate count of causing the death of a child.
Rachael Martin was cleared of charges of allowing her daughter's death and cruelty through wilful neglect.
Lord Justice Higgins, sitting with Lord Justice Coghlin and Mr Justice Horner, held that the trial judge had been "scrupulous" in ensuring proceedings against McCarney were fair.
He also pointed out that McCarney declined to give evidence, unlike his co-accused, Rachel Martin.
McCarney, who appeared by video-link from prison to hear his appeal being thrown out, is now expected to press ahead with a bid to have his jail term reduced.
The Welsh Government wants to build a six-lane motorway between Magor and Castleton to relieve congestion on the current M4 around the Brynglas tunnels.
The inquiry is due to last five months and will examine the controversial plan and alternatives to the 15-mile road.
Environmental groups, local residents and opposition politicians are among the many opponents to the plan.
The Welsh Government hopes construction of the new stretch of road, first proposed in 1991, will start in 2018 and open in 2021.
It insists the current M4 to the north of Newport was originally designed as a city bypass and "does not meet modern motorway design standards."
The latest traffic data from the Department of Transport shows up to 115,000 vehicles travel along Wales' busiest stretch of road, and the Welsh Government said it "carried a greater volume of traffic than it was originally designed for."
Officials also claim there is a higher than average accident rate on the M4 near Newport, and that congestion has a detrimental impact on the Welsh economy.
Up to 13 alternatives to the Welsh Government's chosen route will be discussed at the inquiry at Newport's Lysaght Institute.
There have been 335 formal objections, compared to 192 letters of support from bodies including the RSPB, Natural Resources Wales and the owners of Newport docks.
The proposed route cuts across the ancient marshlands of the Gwent Levels and sites of special scientific interest.
The Campaign Against the Levels Motorway group are planning a protest before the inquiry.
A joint open letter from 11 organisations, including the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales, Friends of the Earth Cymru and Sustrans Cymru, states that if the road goes ahead, "it will destroy ancient woodlands and miles of species-rich greens and ditches."
Wales' Future Generations Commissioner Sophie Howe has already said she believes the plan is "ill-conceived".
Inquiry inspector Bill Wadrup has previously insisted the independent inquiry would not simply push through the Welsh Government-backed route.
"You are certainly not wasting your time," he told people opposing the route. "If I thought this was a done deal I would be on the golf course."
The last major road inquiry in Wales was into the proposed crossing of the River Conwy in 1975.
Then the inspector recommended building a tunnel rather than the Welsh Office-backed bridge proposal, and a tunnel was subsequently opened in 1991.
In the only change to the team, the back-rower replaces club-mate John Hardie, who is injured, while Cornell du Preez comes on to the bench.
It means the backline is unchanged for the trip to Twickenham, a venue where Scotland have not won since 1983.
Ali Price again deputises at scrum-half for injured skipper Greig Laidlaw.
He and stand-off Finn Russell are likely to be key figures as the Scots seek a third win in this year's championship following Murrayfield successes against Ireland and Wales.
While Scotland seek their first Triple Crown since 1990, England are aiming to equal New Zealand's record of 18 straight Test wins for a tier-one nation.
Watson started the first two matches of the campaign and, to earn his eighth cap, replaced Hardie in the first half of the game against Wales when he damaged his knee.
Glasgow Warriors provide the entire Scotland front row of Gordon Reid, Fraser Brown and Zander Fagerson, backed by locks Jonny and Richie Gray and with captain John Barclay and number eight Ryan Wilson completing the back-row.
"There's a lot to play for and several reasons why we should be able to get up for this game," said Cotter in his penultimate match as head coach.
"We've rested, recovered and prepared as best we can for this game. We've asked some questions of ourselves and the areas we think we can improve and we're confident we can play better as a team.
"The challenge is for us to combine the best parts of our performances so far in this campaign in to one excellent performance at Twickenham this Saturday.
"We'll need that to put us in a position to win this game and will enjoy the challenge of doing that against an England team that hasn't lost in a while."
Scotland: Scotland: Hogg; Seymour, Jones, Dunbar, Visser; Russell, Price; Reid, Brown, Fagerson, R Gray, J Gray, Barclay, Watson, Wilson.
Replacements: Ford, Dell, Berghan, Swinson, Du Preez, Pyrgos, Weir, Bennett.
At one point on Saturday, though, the term "Trump's daughter" in Arabic was the top-trending topic worldwide on Twitter.
Many have taken to satire, posting images referencing negative comments by Mr Trump about Islam and Muslims. Their reaction comes ahead of his much-anticipated speech at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh on Sunday.
Twitter users have circulated a screen shot of an earlier tweet (posted in May, but now deleted) by Saudi cleric Saad Bin Ghoneim.
It said: "Oh Allah, Trump is one of your servants, his fate is in your hands. Command him, whether or not he wishes, to serve the best interests of the Muslims and to ease their oppression. Save us from his evil and guide him to your path."
Mr Bin Ghoneim told the Saudi online newspaper Sabq that he had posted the tweet after "positive statements from US President Trump towards our country following a successful visit" from Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to the US.
He said his tweet included a prayer for Muslims to be saved from the "evil" of Mr Trump.
One popular Trump meme doing the rounds on social media is by @mazn1161. It features a doctored image of Mr Trump's face as a bearded Saudi cleric. The picture appears next to two smaller ones - of the cleric Mr Bin Ghoneim and of Mr Trump surrounded by scantily-clad women.
The headline across the images reads: "Saudi cleric issues fatwa: Trump is a messenger of Allah and to obey him is to obey Allah!" Next to the image, @mazn1161 writes: "Coming soon, Sunday sermon by the cleric #Trump."
One cartoon retweeted 71 times places Mr Trump and the Saudi rulers at the centre of the Yemeni conflict.
The cartoon shows the Saudi monarch and his son accompanied by Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi submissively welcoming Mr Trump as he exits his jet.
On one side of the red carpet are bodies of dead Yemenis. On the other side, a man stands over a kneeling woman in a burka with a sword, apparently about to behead her.
The cartoon was tweeted by @753_yamen_87 who sneered at Arab leaders and commented: "After Trump prohibited Muslim citizens from seven Arab countries from entering America, the Saudi Arab Death ["mahlaka", a play on the Arabic word for kingdom, "mamlaka"] responds by gathering 17 Muslim leaders to welcome him. #Age_of_decadence."
@1Shmia tweeted a doctored image of Donald Trump appearing to show disdain to the Saudi rulers as he shouts down at smaller images of King Salman and his son, Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman.
The caption reads: "All you have is money and you wouldn't exist without us. Why don't you pay us?"
Twitter users are also using the occasion of Trump's visit to highlight the case of Saudi student Khaled al-Dawsari, who is serving a life sentence in the US for the attempted use of explosives on American targets.
Twitter account @5haledaldosari, which describes itself as the official account for the Khalid al-Dawsari campaign, posted a picture of Mr Trump and Saudi King Salman side by side. The caption read: "O nation, one of your sons is buried away in prison but now is the time to seek victory for him."
The tweet called for Twitter users to post with the Arabic hashtag #the_summit_is_a_demand_for_Khaled's_freedom. The tweet from 18 May has been retweeted more than 790 times.
For some Twitter users such as @alsuiadi, however, the visit is a source of pride. He said: "The whole world has its eyes on Riyadh and is following its events and is looking forward to the outcomes of the bilateral summit meeting. Looking forward to a bright future."

Mrs Norman set up the cameras almost a year ago after she suspected her father's medication was being delayed.
One of the incidents it captured showed her father wandering the landing with his trousers and incontinence pad around his knees.
After she showed the tapes to the police, several care workers were interviewed.
The CPS said in a statement that after reviewing the evidence, there was insufficient evidence to prove any criminal offence had been committed.
"While the behaviour might be considered an unacceptable way to treat vulnerable people, it did not cross the line into criminal activity," the spokesman said.
Mrs Norman said the family thought the law was not protecting vulnerable people.
"No one's looking at these carers working in private homes," she said.
"We need cameras in people's homes to check what these carers are doing."
The case was discussed at a meeting of Bristol City Council's Adult Safeguarding Board on Wednesday night.
In a statement, the authority said: "We have taken action to address the general concerns raised by this case with the care agencies involved.
"Now the police investigations have concluded, we will work with the providers on any further specific issues raised."
Mrs Norman's father is now in a private residential home.
It is more than 165 years since the first English translation of The Mabinogion - a set of Welsh medieval tales - told of the land's fabled beasts and monsters.
Lady Charlotte Guest's conversion of the 11-story collection, created centuries ago, feature Rhiannon's Birds, the Afanc and a nameless claw.
But what is the meaning and legacy of Wales' fantastical fauna? The BBC asked a Cardiff University expert to explain.
Dr Juliette Wood, a medieval folklore and Celtic tradition specialist, believes the cast of magical and sometimes shape-shifting brutes link readers - both historical and contemporary - to a "supernatural dimension".
"We don't like to think there is no meaning to life," she said. "We now know that life is essentially random.
"But we don't like that. We would rather it were full of spirits."
There is the Afanc, a "cunning" lake monster who kills men from the blind depths of a cave using a poisonous spear, in the story Peredur son of Efrog.
Readers also encounter a salmon rode by men, talking birds and a horse of immeasurable speed.
The steed, ridden by mystical figure Rhiannon, is first encountered at Gorsedd Arberth, a mound connected to the "other world" and thought to be near modern-day Narberth, Pembrokeshire.
But Dr Wood's favourite beast is one she "can't describe".
"And no-one can," she added. "Because it is never known what it is."
It appears as Teyrnon Twrf Liant, a mythic lord, waits in his stable at night in the hope of discovering what force has been snatching his foals, in The First Branch of The Mabinogion.
An "enormous claw" reaches in and Teyrnon hacks it off, with the creature releasing a horrendous "noise and a scream". The wounded behemoth escapes unseen by the time Teyrnon runs outside.
"It doesn't have a name. It's just 'The Monster'," Dr Wood said. "It's amazingly sinister."
Of course, the red dragon is the creature most closely associated with Wales.
The tale of Lludd and Llefelys features two warring dragons - a reference to the legendary battle between the red and white - who are eventually gorged on mead and then imprisoned in Snowdonia.
"But you do not have a lot of other dragons in Welsh mythology," Dr Wood added, "which is quite interesting."
She said there are no mythological tales truly unique to Wales.
"What is unique and what is special about The Mabinogion is the way it's localised. It's sort of tied-down specifically to the Welsh landscape.
"You can actually point to these [places] in the Welsh landscape, and it makes it seem as if these stories are ours and ours alone."
For instance, the trail of the most savage and devastating creature in the stories can be clearly traced across Wales.
Twrch Trwyth is a massive, enchanted boar hunted by King Arthur, who wants to retrieve a razor and shears from between the animal's ears, in How Culhwch Won Olwen.
The boar, accompanied by seven piglets, runs amok after landing in Porthclais, near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, before destroying vast swathes of Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire and killing many of Arthur's pursuing champions.
It is so powerful, even Arthur cannot kill it, although he does manage to fulfil his quest.
There are also the Hounds of Annwn, which are first encountered by Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, in The First Branch of The Mabinogion.
The dogs, which belong to the lord of the other world, Arawn, are depicted as "gleaming, shining with their ears red".
"Animals which are two colours are considered uncanny," Dr Wood explained. "They can be full of portent, but they can also be lucky."
The Mabinogion's most spiritual of creatures, the Birds of Rhiannon, can "wake the dead and lull the living to sleep", appearing far away at sea while their song sounds very near.
"When they sing people go into this other-world state. Unlike the real world, they don't have any bad memories," Dr Wood explained.
"You don't age and you don't feel fear, but you don't progress as well."
And Dr Wood said the mythical birds of yore have given their modern-day cousins an ambiguous if not disquieting reputation in the Wales of today.
"People do have this sense that birds or robins are linked with death and are reluctant to have them in the house. Even if it's having patterns of birds on curtains.
"It's surprising how strong that is."
While the oral tradition in Wales has been largely eroded, it has not entirely disappeared.
"People will say: 'My nain (a Welsh word for grandmother) told me about it'. There's still this sense that culture is coming down through the generations over time," she added.
The tales of The Mabinogion were mainly found in two manuscripts, The White Book of Rhydderch and The Red Book of Hergest.
The term Mabinogion is said to derive from the Welsh word "mab", meaning son or boy, with some suggesting this implies these were tales for boys.
However, it has also been argued the name related to "stories of youth" or simply a tale or story.
But what can the modern Welsh reader take from The Mabinogion's tales of "carousing and drinking", of brave deeds and warriors overthrown, of courageous knights and fair maidens, of protean brutes and fantastic beasts?
"They are just wonderful, wonderful stories, which are beautifully crafted," Dr Wood said.
"You never lose the tradition, the tradition may change - and in this case it has changed dramatically - but it never goes off completely.
"And I think this is part of The Mabinogion. It allows Welsh people to connect to a heritage they know was once theirs."

It's become the first city ever to host both a summer and winter games.
Beijing beat the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, in a close contest.
It had been the favourite to win and it argued that generating enough snow would not be a problem.

The 36-year-old rescued a 2-2 draw against Ghana with his first touch.
"I'm awfully happy for Klose - he was on the pitch for two minutes and scored," said Low. "He's had a difficult season, he has been injured.
"But it's sensational for me to have this kind of player on the bench knowing they can make a decisive move."
Lazio striker Klose, who returned from a hamstring injury last month, only netted seven times for the Serie A side last season, but continued his knack of scoring decisive World Cup goals for his country.
He was introduced by Low as a 69th-minute substitute, and slid in Germany's equaliser against their Group G rivals moments later.
The goal moved him level with former Brazil striker Ronaldo as joint record scorer in the World Cup finals, and also saw him become the third player to score at four World Cups after fellow German Uwe Seeler and Brazil great Pele.
"Welcome to the club Klose," tweeted Ronaldo. "I can imagine how happy you are. What a nice World Cup!"
Klose, who made his international debut in March 2001, is Germany's record goalscorer with 70 goals, none of which have come in a defeat.
He passed Gerd Muller's mark of 68 earlier this month, and his equaliser against Ghana took him past the West Germany legend's landmark of 14 World Cup goals.
Team-mate Per Mertesacker said the veteran striker, who also scored at the 2002, 2006 and 2010 tournaments, showed he is still capable of changing games at the highest level.
"What a record and what a player. I've been playing with him for 10 years and that's the player we need," the Arsenal defender told BBC Sport.

"Today he made the difference when he came off the bench and just showed how good he still is."
Klose's landmark goal came as Germany came from 2-1 down to hold Ghana, and they may still need a point in their final group game against USA.
Mertesacker, who won his 100th cap, added: "That was a really tough fight today. It deserved to be my 100th game. I'm proud of that number of games.
"It could have been worse today. We expected them to perform physically. The way we came back was magnificent. We are proud of that performance even if it's just a draw.
"We are a good team and we showed that today. In a special way our comeback was good. We still got a draw so we're still in a good position. Our confidence is still high."
Asamoah Gyan joined Roger Milla as the joint-highest scoring African player at a World Cup with his fifth goal.
The draw means 2010 quarter-finalists Ghana must beat Portugal in Thursday's final group match to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stage.
Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan said their performance showed the "real Ghana" following the disappointing opening defeat by the USA.
"We were tactically perfect, we had to work hard because Germany are so good in possession. We didn't want to run around and waste energy.
"Now we have to go all out against Portugal in our last game. We have to focus and believe we can beat Portugal."
Arkady Dvorkovich explained to BBC Newsnight: "For Russia it's important that Europe is strong. We need strong partners to go forward, and the British decision to leave Europe made Europe a little bit weaker at this point".
Mr Dvorkovich, who oversees economic policy for his government, argues that "the whole process [of Brexit]... creates uncertainties".
So what about the argument, oft repeated by Remainers during the referendum campaign, that President Vladimir Putin was rooting for Brexit because he wanted to undermine European unity and see the British, as a consistent voice in favour of sanctions on Russia over its policy in Ukraine, removed from the counsels of the EU?
Mr Dvorkovich answered: "That's just not true."
Echoing his president, the Russian deputy prime minister argued that the UK's eventual withdrawal would not make a big difference to the European Union's internal debates over sanctions.
Mr Dvorkovich says that the economic platform against his country, which he characterised as "counter-productive, it brings losses to all parties", was the result, even in Europe, "mostly [of] the influence of the United States".
He was speaking to the BBC at the European House-Ambrosetti Forum economic conference, at Villa d'Este in Italy.
The EU is due to review its sanctions against Russia in mid-September but while those seeking to lift them had been sounding a note of cautious optimism, recent tensions over Ukraine have led most people to assume they will not be lifted.
Analysts in Brussels believe recent statements by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in favour of continued measures against the Kremlin have tipped the balance in favour of renewal.
As for the effect of these measures against Russia, analysts have suggested the country's economy shrank by 3.7% is 2015.
Mr Dvorkovich accepted that figure but argued: "Out of 3.7% contraction, 0.5% is related to sanctions and the rest is related to oil prices."
Since much of Russia's financial planning was based on an oil price of over $100 per barrel, its fall to around $40 at present has created big problems for the country's public finances.
While questioning the scale of the impact caused by sanctions, the Russian government is campaigning to have them lifted, with Mr Dvorkovich using the argument that they have harmed economic growth globally and consequently damaged the Western countries imposing them as well as Russia.
Might a reset of relations between the UK and Russia help in this regard?
There has been speculation that Britain might attempt to increase trade with Russia following Theresa May's taking office, and indeed suggestions from the Foreign Office that this moment might provide an opportunity for change.
"Let's see how it goes", Mr Dvorkovich told the BBC. "We are open, we are ready at any point in time".
Privately, Russian officials do not see much prospect of any significant short-term change.
But they do believe that the UK's strong economic interest (via BP) in the Russian oil sector might over time lead to increased co-operation and investment - something currently circumscribed by the EU's sanctions.

The US state department identified the emails as it carries out its check on whether they can be released publicly.
Mrs Clinton's use of private email while secretary of state for four years has sparked a barrage of criticism.
The Democratic 2016 frontrunner says her private email contained nothing that was classified at the time.
Critics say that her set-up was unsecure, against government rules and designed to shield her communications from oversight.
Last December, she handed over about 30,000 emails she sent and received while in office.
A team of officials has been checking the emails since a federal judge ordered they be released to the public on a rolling basis over the next five months.
In court papers filed with a US District court judge in Washington on Monday, the State Department updated its progress.
One of its officials told the court that 305 of her emails are being recommended for review by intelligence agencies.
State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters later that day the review of more emails was "healthy".
"It doesn't mean that all 300 are going to end up at some level of (classification upgrade). I suspect some will and I suspect some won't," he said.
The FBI is investigating whether classified information was improperly sent via the server and stored there.
Under US federal law, officials' correspondence is considered to be US government property.
Mrs Clinton says the primary reason she set up her own email was for "convenience" but sceptics say the real reason she did it was because it gave her total control over her correspondence.
According to Mrs Clinton, she sent or received 62,320 emails during her time as secretary of state - she says half of them were official and have been turned over to the State Department.
Probably not. Mrs Clinton's email system existed in a grey area of the law - and one that has been changed several times since she left office.
It's a big deal because Mrs Clinton is asking the US public to trust that she is complying with both the "letter and the spirit of the rules". Critics on the left and the right are concerned she made her communications on sensitive national security issues more susceptible to hackers and foreign intelligence services.
Clinton's 'emailgate' diced and sliced
The European Union Committee report has called on the government to ensure the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey are "fully involved and engaged."
It also urges Parliament to remember its "unique constitutional responsibilities" to all three.
The Crown Dependencies are not part of the European Union or the UK so did not vote in the 2016 referendum.
However, the islands have a constitutional relationship both with the UK and the EU.
The report highlighted several potentially conflicting priorities which may arise for the islands during Brexit negotiations, including the maintenance of their centuries-old relationships with the UK and the retention of the benefits of their existing relationship with the EU.
It stated the Crown Dependencies' close constitutional, economic and cultural relationships with the UK "remain paramount", but added the implications of Brexit would be far-reaching and include an impact on the free trade, including fisheries and agriculture, both with the UK and EU.
It concluded that seeking to keep these priorities in balance would "not be easy" and the real test would come when negotiations began.
The Manx Chief Minister Howard Quayle said one of the Isle of Man's main concerns related to the freedom of movement of goods.
All three chief ministers were consulted by the committee and said they were "satisfied" with engagement so far.
A summit of EU member states to discuss Brexit is be held on 29 April, a month after the date given by Prime Minister Theresa May as when the UK will trigger Article 50.
The former Scotland international footballer was ruled to be a rapist at a civil hearing in January.
Goodwillie and his ex-teammate David Robertson were ordered to pay £100,000 damages to Denise Clair - despite never facing a criminal trial.
Norrie Innes said the Scottish League Two club was "seeking to help someone when others want to punish him".
Ms Clair, who waived her right to anonymity, sued the pair after the Crown decided not to prosecute.
It was the first civil rape case of its kind in Scotland.
She said the footballers had raped her at a flat in Armadale, in West Lothian, after a night out in Bathgate in January 2011.
The players had admitted having sex with Ms Clair but said it was consensual.
SNP MSP John Mason has said he will no longer attend Clyde FC games for the rest of the season in protest at the signing.
That decision brought criticism from Mr Inness, who will officially take over at Clyde in May.
He told the club's official website: "I think we have to beware of those who seek to use these matters for political and personal benefit and we should seek what is in us to be authentic and true and make the right decisions, even if it isn't universally or politically popular."
Mr Innes added: "David is a free man with a financial charge on his head, this arising from the civil action against him.
"He is appealing the judge's opinion and it will eventually establish a status and end point, but to be clear, Clyde FC will play no part in this. It is down to others to deal with.
"There is no positive purpose or societal gain whatsoever to wish ill on him and allow his talents to stagnate and waste.
"Football and society would be failing if this was allowed to happen. If he ultimately has responsibilities to honour through any final binding decision, he should use the skills at his disposal to earn and honour it. Is it not right to create the conditions for him to potentially service society's demands on him?
"I have helped people in need in the past and it can be testing and challenging, especially when they - sometimes - let you and themselves down, but I will not change. If the opportunity arises to do so then we should all embrace this approach."
They will have to declare publicly how much tax they pay in each EU country as well as any activities carried out in specific tax havens.
The rules on "country-by-country reporting" would affect multinational firms with more than €750m in sales.
The plans come amid heightened scrutiny of the use of tax havens following the Panama Papers revelations.
And it follows increasing pressure on multinationals such as Starbucks and Google to pay more tax in the countries where they operate.
More than 6,000 of the world's biggest companies will be covered by the proposals, representing approximately 90% of the turnover of all multinationals, a third of them with their headquarters in the EU.
It is estimated that EU states lose at least €50-70bn (£40-56bn; $57-80bn) each year to corporate tax avoidance.
Under the proposals multinationals would have to disclose for each country within the EU:
Multinationals will also have to report how much tax they paid in tax havens, or what the EU calls "jurisdictions that do not abide by tax good governance standards".
What is being done to tackle tax-dodging?
The Prime Minister's official spokeswoman said: "We welcome the proposals coming out from the European Commission today, which will further enhance our ability to make sure that companies are paying taxes owed."
The rules will not apply to companies' other activities outside the EU.
But the European Network on Debt and Development, an association of trade unions and non-governmental organisations, says companies should be forced to adopt country-by-country reporting for inside and outside the EU.
In a letter to the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, the association said multinationals should also publish more information: "The proposal... would effectively allow multinationals to continue shifting their profits out of the EU while still keeping citizens in the dark.
"It would also make the measure useless for developing countries as they would not be able to get any country-specific information."
An EU source said that getting the rules applied outside the EU would be politically impossible. She said: "We'd never get [that] passed. We need it to have political backing."
Lord Hill, the EU's financial services commissioner, said: "The main risks of having disaggregated information outside the EU is that businesses in other jurisdictions could get important business data on European businesses that they could use to their competitive advantage, and third-country tax jurisdictions might see information that could lead them to double-tax firms.
"Our economies and societies depend on a tax system that's fair, a principle that applies both to individuals and to business.
"Yet today, by using complicated tax arrangements, some multinationals can pay nearly a third less tax than companies that only operate in one country.
"The Panama Papers have not changed our agenda, but I think that they have strengthened our determination to make sure that taxes are paid where profits are generated."
German and French press pundits have cast doubt on the potential impact of the EU proposals.
Les Echos business daily Brussels correspondent Renaud Honore says the Panama Papers row prompted Brussels to "revise its ambitions upwards", but reports that some in the Commission worry about a "certain coolness" from France.
Edouard Pflimin in centre-left Le Monde agrees that the Panama Papers have "piled the pressure" on Europe to "combat the scourge of multinationals' fiscal opacity".
In Germany, the EU proposals attract less attention than Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble's own 10-point plan for tackling tax havens.
Munich's liberal Sueddeutsche Zeitung thinks his measures - like those of the European Union - are "well-intentioned, but capable of solving only part of the problem".
It sees a "conflict of interest" arising over the amount of "dirty money" that enters the German economy each year, and notes that the stringent Mr Schaeuble's proposals would lead to Britain being classed as a tax haven.
Dorothea Siems, the economics correspondent of the conservative Die Welt, thinks the proposals are an over-reaction, given that few German names have cropped up in the Panama Papers.
"Privacy must be respected in dealing with wealth issues. It is up to the state to prove that a crime has been committed, not for citizens to prove their innocence," she concludes.
Edexcel will translate some responses because it was unable to recruit Welsh-speaking examiners in certain subjects.
But education campaign group Rhag said the move placed pupils studying in Welsh at a significant disadvantage.
Union UCAC said qualifications through Welsh should not be offered if the demands of delivering it are not met.
Edexcel said it had struggled to find Welsh-speaking examiners for its A-Level music technology and sport and active leisure principle learning qualification.
Instead it will have students' answers translated to English.
The exam board said the papers will be sent to a Welsh-speaking subject expert to confirm that the content has been fully translated.
Only then will the paper be marked in English, alongside the original script, with any translation queries referred back to the subject expert.
Edexcel told BBC Wales that "in no individual paper are more than 9 learners affected".
But Ceri Owen, of Rhag, said the decision was "a scandal".
"Such a situation is completely unacceptable and places pupils studying through the medium of Welsh at a significant disadvantage," she said.
"They should have the same conditions as their contemporaries who study through the medium of English, where there is no interference in the original work.
"In such circumstances, the work being assessed isn't that of the pupil's but another person's interpretation of that said work, in a completely different language."
Rebecca Williams, of Welsh education union UCAC, said it was impossible to guarantee the translated text would capture the precise meaning pupils intended.
"If an exam board is unable to cope with the demands of offering a qualification in Welsh, then they should not be offering that qualification in the first place," she said.
A spokesperson for Edexcel said it was working to ensure every student is treated fairly.
"We always aim to recruit Welsh-speaking examiners where we have entries for assessment that are offered in Welsh. In the majority of cases we are able to do so," said the exam board official.
"However in the rare instances where we are not able to recruit Welsh-speaking examiners with the necessary subject and assessment experience, we undergo a four stage process, using a translation agency also used by the National Assembly for Wales."
About 25,000 properties in Grangemouth, Falkirk and the Lower Braes will join the scheme, which the council started implementing last year.
Falkirk Council was the first in the UK to cut general household waste collections to once every three weeks.
Under the new system, the amount of waste discarded by households has reduced on average by 2kg per week.
Council bosses said the service has led to a reduction of about 400 tonnes of material sent to landfill per month, representing a significant saving in landfill tax.
It is estimated that once the whole Falkirk Council area is participating, 9,000 tonnes of landfill material will be diverted to recycling per year, saving £385,000.
Letters to residents will be issued from this week to the third phase areas explaining the changes, followed by a detailed information pack.
Council environment spokesman Craig Martin said: "The new service has been a success thanks to the support of residents who have made the effort to recycle more every week, particularly food waste.
"The increase in recycling means a reduction in the amount we pay in landfill charges and this is a saving we can use elsewhere. Last year we spent £2.5m sending material to landfill, much of which could have been recycled.
"We're confident that this final round of changes will be as successful as the first two and look forward to the support shown by our communities."
The SNP and Labour each won two of Scotland's six MEP seats, with one each for the Conservatives and UKIP.
The Liberal Democrats, who came sixth, lost their only European Parliament seat.
The final result was delayed until 12:30 to allow for counting in the Western Isles.
The 31 other local authorities had declared overnight, but the island authority does not count votes on a Sunday.
The result saw the SNP's Ian Hudghton and Alyn Smith elected as MEPs, along with Labour's David Martin and Catherine Stihler, Ian Duncan of the Conservatives and David Coburn of UKIP.
UKIP - which won 27% of the votes in England - picked up 10.4% north of the border, enough to send lead candidate Mr Coburn to the European Parliament.
Mr Coburn told BBC Radio Scotland that UKIP had "done extremely well in Scotland" and was "certainly not a party of protest".
He added: "We are basically going to give something different. It is not going to be the same arguments you get from all the tired old parties. All of the Scottish parties agree with each other, more or less, it is a left-wing agenda and now we are going to see something different
"We are going to see a libertarian agenda which I will be pushing as hard as possible".
Mr Coburn said his aim as an MEP was to keep "Scottish business and Scottish people aware of some of the crazy things going on in Europe that will affect their businesses and their jobs".
When challenged by presenter Gary Robertson to name some specific examples, Mr Coburn replied: "Off the top of my head I can't think but there's so many of them".

Was it a tactical error by the SNP to target UKIP in the final days of campaigning?
Yes, say Labour and others. No, say SNP strategists. They needed to energise their vote and prevent Labour from overhauling the SNP. UKIP provided the conduit.
Does it tell us very much about the referendum? Not really. That will be fought on different terms, with different tactics, different issues - and a much bigger turnout.
The complicated proportional voting system meant that the SNP had to extend its share of the vote beyond one-third of the total in Scotland if it had any chance of keeping UKIP out.
But Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond's party fell just short with 389,503 votes - a 28.9% share.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is also the deputy leader of the SNP, admitted she was "disappointed" by the election of a UKIP MEP in Scotland.
But she added: "Our winning share of the vote in Scotland is higher than UKIP's winning share in England, it is higher than Labour's winning share in Wales, and I believe it is higher than the DUP's winning share in Northern Ireland.
"So this is a pretty spectacular success for the SNP. We are seven years into government and yet we are comfortably winning an election and maintaining the share of the vote we got five years ago. That is a big vote of confidence".
The Green Party had also hoped to pick up its first seat and block UKIP, but ended with 108,305 votes (8%).
Green co-leader Patrick Harvie, said: "We have strengthened our position as the torch-bearer for radical ideas in Scottish politics, and are in the process of replacing the Liberal Democrats as Scotland's fourth major party."
Labour saw its vote increase by five points to 25.9% with 348,219 votes, keeping its two MEPs, while the Conservatives held on to their single seat with 231,330 votes (17.2%).
Re-elected Labour MEP David Martin accused Mr Salmond of allowing UKIP in by polarising the debate in Scotland.
He said: "I'd like to suggest to David Coburn that the first thing he does when he sits down and recovers from the campaign is write a letter to Alex Salmond because there is no doubt in my mind that Alex Salmond's decision to polarise the campaign, the Scottish debate, between two extremes is why David Coburn is with us today as a member of the European Parliament".
Tory MEP Ian Duncan, who takes over from the retired Struan Stevenson, said his party's vote was the highest it had been for 25 years.
He said: "We've bucked the national trend and it is a reminder that we have much to offer the people of Scotland.
"People are concerned about Europe and they want change. They want change to make Europe work for them, not against them, and I believe we have harnessed that concern and that feeling in a very simple way.
The Liberal Democrats won just 95,319 votes (7.1%) and lost their only MEP in Scotland while being beaten to sixth place behind the Greens.
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said: "We continue to pay the price for being in coalition and for the decisions we have taken in government. I get that.
"In this election, we put forward a positive case which was unashamedly pro European. Despite our defeat I am proud of that."
Turnout in Scotland was 33.5% - which was an improvement on 2009 when only about 28.5% of the electorate voted.
Across Scotland, turnout peaked at 43.1% in East Renfrewshire and 41.6% in Edinburgh. It was lowest in North Lanarkshire at 28.1%.
Services from Cirencester were axed in the 1960s as part of the Beeching cuts leaving only services from the nearby village of Kemble.
But now, Cirencester Community Railway wants to raise funds for a feasibility study to lay four miles of track.
The plan involves a "light" rail service which would link to mainline services in Kemble.
Recently, a scheme to double the track at Kemble at a cost of £45m, was completed by Network Rail.
That route links Cheltenham, Gloucester and Kemble with Swindon and London Paddington.
And a light train service from Cirencester could link up to Kemble meaning people would not have to drive and park there.
The group's Richard Gunner said £75,000 is needed to fund a study to estimate how many people would use the service.
Cirencester mayor Mark Harris said the plan was at "very, very early stages" but added it would "free up the roads" and help with under-pressure parking in the town.
He added that the plan would also help link up the town with London and make it "so much easier" to do business with the capital.
The £13m proposal includes a new station in Cirencester at Chesterton and a bridge being built over the A429 at Kemble.
The scheme could also alleviate parking issues in Kemble where a small car park is often full with motorists having to park in nearby roads.
A Great Western Railway spokesman said the firm wanted to build a new car park.
"We are currently awaiting planning consent from Cotswold District Council which we understand should be granted shortly."
The form of witchcraft was thrown into the spotlight at the trial of Lizzy Idahosa who was found guilty of human trafficking offences.
Cardiff Crown Court heard how Idahosa, 24, arranged for two Nigerian women to be put through a ritualistic "juju" ceremony in Nigeria to make them afraid of disobeying her before they were trafficked into the UK and forced to work in the sex trade.
The women said they had been forced to drink dirty water, eat a snake and a snail and have their hair shaved.
The jury heard they had genuine fear the juju magic would cause them illness, madness, infertility and death if they broke their oath.
And that was how Idahosa was able to continue controlling the two women.
Trafficking expert Siddharth Kara from Harvard University said: "[Juju] exerts a kind of control that's so much more potent than chains or locking someone up.
"It's control of the spirit which is far more powerful and insidious."
He said juju was a "substantial issue" in parts of Nigeria and he had traced women all over Europe who had been lured into the sex industry through fear of the magic.
Persuaded into leaving their homes for a "better life", young women and girls are often put through the juju ritual overseen by priests who are highly respected and important in their villages.
Using items like menstrual blood, hair, nail clippings, body parts and blood from babies during the "very, very intense" ritual, the priest "takes control of her spirit and womb", Mr Kara said.
The women live in "fear and terror" of the priests and are convinced that if they break the pledge, a curse will descend on them, their family or future offspring.
"You can't just tell her no, no, no, the priest can't really hurt you. That's not what she believes," said Mr Kara, who teaches human trafficking and modern slavery at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in the USA.
"For a young girl who may not even have an education and is not literate, undergoing this oath and being raised in this culture [she] will really put a lot of stock in its potency."
For this reason it is extremely difficult to persuade women to break their oaths and escape from their traffickers, he added.
And this ingrained fear of the repercussions of a juju curse is why so many victims refuse to co-operate with the authorities.
It is now hoped the Cardiff case could be a catalyst to help other women trafficked from Nigeria to Europe using juju to control them.
Nick Jupp, head of criminal investigations for the Home Office in Wales, said the scale of the problem in Wales and the rest of the UK was still unknown and it was "incredibly difficult" to get sex trafficking cases to court.
The case in south Wales was unusual because the victims overcame their fear of the juju curse and helped investigators.
"We want to send out a really powerful message to everybody that this isn't a country that will tolerate modern day slavery and it is slavery - it's slavery by coercion, through fear, through intimidation and through quite horrible means," he added.
The woman, thought to be 20, is in hospital. Officials say the man has reportedly assaulted his wife before.
Although such mutilation is rare in Afghanistan, reports of violence against women are increasing.
Last year the country's Human Rights Commission said violence against women rose by almost 25%, compared with 2012.
The names of the couple have not been released but police in Daykundi Province say the man attacked his wife after a heated argument.
"The husband cut his wife's nose with a kitchen knife," said Muhammad Ali Atai of the Provincial Crime Branch in Daykundi.
"Police transferred her to hospital. But her husband escaped from the area and is still at large."
The woman's family has not commented on what happened and details are sketchy.
Zakia Rizai, the head of Daykundi's Women's Affairs Department, told the BBC that the woman had been the victim of severe domestic violence in the past.
"Her husband was a violent man," she said. "We saw evidence that he had removed her fingernails. Once, she was kept locked inside a room without food or water for a week."
Cases of women being mutilated by male relatives are rare in Afghanistan but not unknown.
Last year, the BBC reported on the case of a 30-year-old woman called Sutara in Herat who spoke to reporters from her hospital bed.
She said she became engaged to her husband when she was just 11 and that he became addicted to heroin while working across the border in Iran.
Her husband wanted to sell her jewellery to buy drugs, she says. When she refused to hand it over to him, he knocked her unconscious, then stabbed her and cut off her top lip and her nose with a knife.
This latest case comes against a background of growing violence against women.
One reason behind the increase could be that more women are reporting abuse and the media is more likely to report their cases.
But analysts say many such crimes involving domestic violence still go unreported.
Some women are simply too frightened to speak out. Others may not trust the police to treat them fairly or have confidence that the justice system will support them if they do.
It was a battling display by the Irish against the world number three side, who took a second-quarter lead through Delfino Merino's classy reverse finish.

This lady from Thailand has been making the special poo-shaped puddings in her kitchen.
They are made from coconut milk, gelatin and food colouring and are a popular sweet treat in Thailand.
Wilaiwan Mee-Nguen makes the cakes at the weekend for fun, and started making poo shaped cakes after one of her customers asked for an unusual shape.
Now, the poo puddings are her most popular cake, and she sells around 1,000 of them a month!
That's a lot of poo!
Dr Elkington, who used to be the Bishop of Newcastle's chaplain, succeeds Clive Cohen who retired after 11 years in the post.
Audrey Elkington was born and brought up in the outskirts of Newcastle. She read Biochemistry at St Catherine's College, Oxford, and became fascinated with how life works at the level of molecules. This led to four years in Norwich conducting research into the molecular genetics of a soil bacterium.
During this time, she sensed a calling to ordained ministry and met her husband.
Audrey served 14 years in parish ministry - in Monkseaton, Ponteland and Prudhoe - and in 2002 became Bishop's Chaplain and Director of Ordinands.
Dr Elkington said: "God has surprised us both in calling us from the north-eastern-most part of the Church of England to its south-western extremity, but already we have been able to see some connections.
"Both our dioceses can trace our Christian faith back to the Celtic saints, and as we leave behind St Aidan and St Cuthbert, we look forward to getting to know St Piran and St Breaca."
The Bishop of Truro, the Right Reverend Tim Thornton, said he was "delighted with the appointment" of Dr Elkington.
Bishop Tim said: "I am especially looking forward to working closely with Audrey as we shape further our work in formation and discipleship. She has a keen interest in the calling of all people. She will of course want to get to know the diocese and we shall give her and her husband a very warm welcome. Please do keep them in your prayers."
Northumbrian piper, Bea Geddes, the St Minver Silver Band and the Wadebridge Male Voice Choir all played their parts in a special welcome service for the Revd Canon Dr Audrey Elkington as she was installed as Archdeacon of Bodmin in Truro Cathedral on Friday 29 July.
In her inaugural sermon, the Venerable Dr Audrey Elkington drew strong analogies between the North East - its people and its Celtic saints - and those in Cornwall.
She spoke of the characteristics of the early Christian saints and the pattern of their lives; which consisted of journeying, wrestling with the Scriptures, prayer and worship, and being in community.
"I may have been seeking to walk with Christ 'a canny few' years, but this doesn't mean to say I am any more of an expert than you are. There are still times when I'd rather walk my way and on my own terms.
"That's why you and I need to journey together, why we need to explore alongside each other what it means to be a disciple of Christ in Cornwall today." | Anti-nuclear campaigners have accused Natural Resources Wales of carrying out an "insulting" consultation over designs for a new reactor on Anglesey.

Filmmakers made the announcement after animal charities, including Peta, to call for the film, which stars Dennis Quaid, to be boycotted.
It comes after a leaked video showed a German Shepherd struggling to stay out of a torrent of water during the filming of the Canadian production.
The film's producer and distributor deny the dog was mishandled.
But in a joint statement, Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures called off the weekend's promotional events, saying they did "not want anything to overshadow this film that celebrates the relationship between humans and animals".
The footage was posted on the TMZ website on Wednesday.
The director Lasse Hallstrom and actor Josh Gad said they were "disturbed" by the video.
The minute-long 2015 video from the Winnipeg movie set posted online appears to show a dog in distress.
In the video, a man can be overheard saying: "Don't worry, it's warm water at least. He ain't going to calm down until he goes in the water. Just got to throw him in."
The dog, called Hercules, is seen struggling and clawing the side of the pool as his handler pushes him into the water.
One animal rights organisation, Animal Justice, alleged the filmmakers breached federal and provincial laws.
It filed cruelty complaints with the Winnipeg Humane Society, the Chief Veterinary Office of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Police.
The Winnipeg Humane Society says it was consulted for two scenes in the film.
"This dog was fearful and not properly trained for this experience," the organisation's chief executive said in a statement.
"Training for a scene like this should take place weeks - if not months - in advance to help a dog get comfortable with not only being in water of that depth, but also the turbulence."
American Humane, the organisation that oversees animal safety during filming, said it was investigating the incident and had suspended its representative who was on the set.
Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures have suggested that the TMZ footage was edited, saying there was several days of rehearsals for the water scenes to ensure the dog was comfortable with the shoot.
"On the day of the shoot, Hercules did not want to perform the stunt portrayed on the tape so the Amblin production team did not proceed with filming that shot," an earlier statement read.
Director Lasse Hallstrom, who is known for What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Chocolat, expressed concern over the footage on Twitter.
"I am very disturbed by the video released today from the set of my film A Dog's Purpose," he said, denying TMZ's report that he had witnessed the incident.
"I have been promised that a thorough investigation into this situation is underway and that any wrongdoing will be reported and punished."
Actor Josh Gad, who voices the dog in the film, said he was "shaken and sad" after seeing the video. | The US premiere of family film A Dog's Purpose has been cancelled following a campaign by animal rights activists. | 38,695,074 | 650 | 26 | false |
The 27-year-old footballer was found dead at home on Sunday, a day after he led his side in a 4-0 League of Ireland win over Drogheda United.
The cause of death is not yet known but a post-mortem has been carried out.
His funeral was held in Londonderry's St Columba's Church hours before it hosts Martin McGuinness' funeral. Irish President Michael D Higgins is attending both services.
Mourners began arriving at Long Tower Church about an hour before Ryan McBride's funeral.
The feeling among those at the church remained one of shock at the sudden death of Derry City's 27-year-old captain.
"It's been an awful week for the city," one said, reflecting not just the death of Ryan McBride, but also former deputy first minister Martin McGuinness.
Before the service, members of the club's youth squads and women's team lined the entrance to the church, with the club's traditional colours of red, white and black on full display.
Teammates walked alongside the hearse as it approached on the short journey from the city's Brandywell area. Flowers within the coffin spelled out the word "captain" and depicted McBride's jersey - number five.
The player was buried in the city cemetery.
During the service, an emotional Kenny Shiels - the manager of Derry City - read out a poem in tribute to his captain on behalf of the players and staff at the club.
McBride's death is the latest tragedy to befall the club following the death of striker Mark Farren and the Buncrana pier tragedy, which claimed the lives of family members of winger Josh Daniels a year ago.
"He epitomised everything about our club and our city," said Derry City chief executive Sean Barrett.
"Of the words that have been thrown around probably my favourite one is 'warrior'.
Derry City manager Kenny Shiels said the death was "hard for everybody to take" and that he was "the perfect example to any young player coming through".
Since his debut in 2011, McBride had not only become a mainstay of the club's defence, but a fans' favourite.
He made more than 170 appearances, with more than 50 as captain after he took over the role permanently two years ago.
A self-professed quiet man off the pitch, McBride said it was a "different story" on it. "I switch on and then I'm in game mode," he said.
Republic of Ireland footballer James McClean, a former team mate of McBride at Derry, said he was "a warrior that literally would throw his body on the line when he pulled on that Derry City jersey, a club that meant so much to him".

The 24-year-old joins from Sporting Lisbon, with Nani moving to the Portuguese club on a season-long loan.
"Playing for the world's biggest club is a dream for me," said Rojo, who will wear the number five shirt.
The left-sided defender played in six games as Argentina reached this summer's World Cup final in Brazil.
Rojo is United's third signing of the summer and strengthens manager Louis van Gaal's defensive options.
The Dutchman started with debutant Tyler Blackett as part of his three-man defence in last Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City.
By the end of the game, winger Ashley Young was being used in the left-back role following a switch of formations.
"Marcos is a very gifted defender. He can play either as a central defender or left-back," said Van Gaal.

Rojo could make his debut in Sunday's game at Sunderland, with fellow summer signing Luke Shaw out for another three weeks because of a hamstring injury.
Sporting will receive £8m immediately, with further instalments of £4m being paid on 1 December this year and 1 July, 2015.
In addition they will get 20% of any sell-on fee for Rojo over £18.4m.
Rojo, who joined Sporting from Spartak Moscow in July 2012, missed the Portuguese club's first league game of the season last weekend.
United have been searching for defenders following the summer departures of Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, with Rojo's versatility making him a good fit for United manager Louis van Gaal's preferred 3-5-2 system.
"He has ability, physical strength and a willingness to learn," added Van Gaal. "That means he has a very bright future ahead of him.
"He had a very strong World Cup and has been playing in Europe for a couple of years now."
Charlie Broadway, 23, "poses a risk to the public and should not be approached", police said.
Detectives said two men were shot at a property near Ilton, just before 20:00 BST on Thursday.
One of the men died at the scene. The second suffered "non life-threatening" injuries.
A 28-year-old man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the shooting but Mr Broadway remains at large.
Officers said they believed the "serious incident involving a firearm" was of a "domestic nature".
The shooting took place at Chubbards Cross caravan site.
Ch Supt Jon Reilly, from Avon and Somerset Police, said: "We're using all necessary resources to trace 23-year-old Charlie Broadway in connection with these offences.
"Due to the gravity of what happened, Charlie Broadway is potentially armed and as a result poses a risk to the public.
"Obviously we have a number of armed officers on the ground and we're using other specialist resources such as the helicopter in addition to a large team of detectives.
"But obviously a firearm has been used and we wouldn't want the public to approach Charlie."
Force incident manager Rob Pearson added: "It is a very tricky and dangerous situation. There are lots of police officers working now to try and catch him."
George Thomson, 19, was giving evidence at Carlisle Crown Court where he is on trial for murdering Jordan Watson.
The 14 year old was stabbed to death in a Carlisle cemetery in June.
Mr Thomson and co-defendants Brahnn Finley, 19, and Daniel Johnston, 20, all deny murder.
Prosecutor Simon Medland QC said text messages to friends showed Mr Thomson boasting that he would not be caught.
The accused claimed the messages had been "a joke" and did not relate to Jordan's death.
Mr Medland said: "You got out one of your knives and you told Jordan Watson to shut up.
"You pulled it across his throat when he was screaming for his life."
"No," replied Mr Thomson.
"You thought you were too good," said Mr Medland.
Again, Thomson replied: "No".
He also denies hating Jordan and referring to him as "that little runt".
"You hated him. You despised him," said Mr Medland.
"No, I didn't," Mr Thomson replied.
The prosecution claim he killed the youngster because he was infatuated with Jordan's girlfriend.
The girl, who is now 15 and cannot be identified, said in police interviews shown to the jury that Mr Thomson told her he wished Jordan was dead.
Last week, the jury was told a search of Mr Thomson's home revealed a blood-stained Gurkha knife and a large collection of weapons.
It is alleged his co-defendants were present at Upperby Cemetery during the murder to "lend support".
Mr Thomson, of Upperby Road, Carlisle; Mr Finley, of Furze Street, Carlisle, and Mr Johnston, of Petteril Bank Road, Carlisle, all deny murder.
The trial continues.
Manchester City midfielder Toure, who suffered racist abuse at CSKA Moscow last season, was speaking as Fifa launched a system where match observers will monitor discrimination incidents.
"I have been in the situation where there have been monkey chants and it's difficult to deal with that," he said.
"When you hear something like that it hurts you and breaks you."
The Ivory Coast international, who turns 32 on Wednesday, said existing punishments do not go far enough.
"You need to give them a radical sanction - paying a £20,000 fine is not enough, you need to do more," said Toure, who was also subjected to racist abuse on social media in November.
The new system will identify, and send observers to, high-risk matches among the 900-plus qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup. All 64 games at the finals will also be monitored.
The system is being overseen by European anti-discrimination body Fare, whose executive director Piara Powar said: "If there is evidence of discrimination this will be passed to Fifa and there will be associations who will be banned or play behind closed doors.
"There will be some pain as a result of this process but without that pain people will not really understand how they should be tackling these issues."
Ellis, best known for playing the flamboyant Lafayette Reynolds in the horror-drama series, died after complications from heart failure.
"He was a great talent, and his words and presence will be forever missed," his manager Emily Gerson Saines told the Hollywood Reporter.
Ellis appeared in True Blood from 2008 until the series ended in 2014.
"We were extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Nelsan Ellis," HBO said in a statement on Saturday.
"Nelsan was a long-time member of the HBO family whose groundbreaking portrayal of Lafayette will be remembered fondly," the statement added.
Ellis appeared regularly throughout the series of True Blood after first appearing as the cook at a local restaurant in 2008. He played the role of Lafayette, a charismatic gay medium who was able to contact ghosts.
He also featured alongside Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in the film adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help in 2011.
Spencer paid tribute to Ellis on Saturday with a comment posted on Twitter: "Just got word that we lost @nelsanellisofficial. My heart breaks for his kids and family."
Others to pay their respects were True Blood co-stars Michael McMillian, Lauren Bowles, Kristin Bauer and Joe Manganiello.
Manganiello said that he had been "crushed by the loss of my friend".
Bauer wrote in a post on the image sharing app Instagram: "One of the sweetest most talented men I've ever met. A terrible loss for all of us."
McMillan said on Twitter that he was "stunned" and "devastated" by the news.
Ellis is survived by his grandmother Alex Brown, his father Tommie Lee Thompson and his son Breon, along with seven siblings.

Members of the public from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands contacted officers with information following the programme in October.
Det Ch Insp Andy Redwood described the response as "fantastic".
Many of the calls came from people who were in Praia da Luz, Portugal, when Madeleine disappeared in 2007, he said.
Det Ch Insp Redwood said he had been in Portugal this week as part of the Metropolitan Police's investigation, codenamed Operation Grange.
"The media appeals produced a fantastic response from the public in all three countries with a total of 3,500 calls and messages in the UK, 850 to Germany, and 650 in Holland," he told BBC One's Crimewatch.
"Lots of people have called to say they were in Praia da Luz at the time. All of this information has obviously produced a very large volume of work for the Operation Grange team to work through.
He added that there had also been "large number" of calls to Portuguese police.
Announcing their new investigation last month, police in the country said a review team had been working since March 2011 to look back through information from the original investigation.
They said this had uncovered potential new lines of inquiry, which were separate from those being followed by the Met.
On Wednesday, the Met said it wanted to set up a "joint investigation team" with the Portuguese authorities.
Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said the force was seeking agreement from the UK and Portuguese governments.
He said it would be more effective than the current "ad-hoc" approach to working together.

Madeleine, from Rothley, Leicestershire, was three when she disappeared. Police have said her abduction could have been pre-planned.
The appeal update comes after detectives released two e-fits of a man seen carrying a child in Praia da Luz at 22:00 on the night Madeleine went missing.
Police have said they now suspect she could have been taken later than previously thought - just before her mother returned to the apartment to check on her.
The original Crimewatch appeal was repeated in the Netherlands and Germany.
The endangered bird, named Manu, has come to Paignton Zoo from Frankfurt Zoo in Germany.
Before the bird arrived local metal detectors were used to check the new enclosure for "potentially dangerous bits of metal", the zoo said.
The bird, which lives in the wild in New Zealand and probes the soil for food, is the country's national symbol.
Jo Gregson, curator of birds. said: "Kiwis need special care and attention and the substrate is important because they probe down into the ground.
"You have to sieve sand and check dry leaves before you put them in."
Conservationists allocate males to collections so zoo staff can perfect their rearing skills before they can apply to keep a pair.
Ms Gregson said: "It will be at least two years before we are in that position, but kiwis can live for more than 40 years.
The zoo has put up a TV screen near the Avian Breeding Centre to help visitors catch a glimpse of five-year-old Manu, who sleeps during the day.
The zoo said: "(Kiwis)... lay the largest egg in relation to body size of any bird in the world - an egg can weigh a quarter of the bird's body mass.
"This is like a human mother giving birth to a baby the size of a four-year-old."
The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) said London Zoo had previously kept one kiwi, but Paignton was the only zoo to currently keep the species.
The 31-year-old was fourth at the Games in Delhi in 2010 and was part of Team GB at London 2012.
"The news of this anti-doping rule violation has come as a great shock to me," he said in a statement.
"From the outset, I would like to state that I have not knowingly taken any banned substance."
UK Athletics has confirmed that Warburton has the opportunity to respond to the charges against him and can also have the charges determined at a full hearing before the National Anti-Doping Panel.
"I recognise that the responsibility for this situation lies with me and I'm committed to working with UK Anti-Doping and will fully cooperate in the legal process," Warburton said.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to wish the best to all my team mates heading to the Commonwealth Games and apologise that I won't be able to join them as part of Team Wales."
Team Wales Chef de Mission Brian Davies said: "Team Wales can confirm that one of the competitors selected for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games has been provisionally suspended after being charged with committing an anti-doping rule violation.
"As a result Gareth Warburton will no longer be able to compete at the Games."
TV is the most popular medium, especially in cities. BTV is the sole terrestrial network. Popular satellite and cable channels and Indian TV stations have large audiences.
State-run radio covers almost the entire country. BBC World Service in English and Bengali can be heard on 100 MHz FM in Dhaka.
Newspapers are diverse, outspoken and privately-owned. English-language titles appeal mainly to an educated urban readership.
Media outlets tend to be polarised, aligning themselves with one or other of the main political factions.
In 2014, the government prompted concern from media freedom advocates by issuing a policy banning TV and radio stations from broadcasting material deemed to harm the image of the armed forces and law-enforcement agencies impede state security.
Around 6.8% of Bangladeshi citizens are online (InternetLiveStats.com, 2014).

Some prominent bloggers, especially those commenting about Islamic fundamentalism, have been murdered for their writing. Bloggers and social media users have been arrested on blasphemy-related charges.
The 14 county and unitary councils are looking to save of between £7m and £50m from their annual budgets.
There are warnings of further pressure on services such as care for the elderly.
Chris Hayward, deputy leader of Hertfordshire County Council, said it faced a "difficult" challenge.
£1.2bn
The amount 14 councils need to save in the East of England
£250m The amount to be cut from Essex County Council's £1.8bn annual budget over five years
£136m Northamptonshire County Council to lose from its £413m annual budget over three years
£80m Hertfordshire County Council is looking to trim its £1.7bn annual budget over four years
£166m Peterborough City Council needs to save that sum from its £139m annual budget over five years
"With the new cuts we are going to have to make difficult and unpalatable decisions," he said.
"The options are out to consultation so I can't say where the cuts will fall, but I can say adult care takes up two thirds of the budget.
"Hertfordshire has a rapidly expanding population and an increasing elderly population."
David Phillips, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), which provides independent economic analysis, said councils across the country were looking at major cuts.
"They have already had real-term cuts of 25% since 2009-10 and demand is rising," he said. "And there is less left to cut.
"I wouldn't be surprised if non-statutory services will receive significant cuts."

Mark Harrison, chief executive of Norfolk disability charity Equal Lives, said local groups were facing cuts in grants from authorities.
He said cuts to local government funding was a "stupid and cruel policy", but said councils could do more to save money by sharing "back office" functions.
Lord Porter, chairman of the Local Government Association, said: "Services caring for our elderly and vulnerable people are under pressure now.
"While councils will strive to limit the impact on local communities, they will face tough decisions about how to keep providing the hundreds of vital services which communities value and rely on to go about their daily lives, from keeping streets lit and clean to caring for our vulnerable children and adults."
In a new report, Holyrood's rural economy and connectivity committee said "comprehensive" updates to legislation were needed.
It said these should be introduced by the end of the current session of parliament.
The government said it would take time to consider the report.
Among calls being made by the committee are that the new bill should fit with the "reality of modern crofting practices", and be relevant to the "needs and aspirations" of crofters and those who wish to be involved in crofting.
MSPs on the committee also said the bill should be comprehensive and seek to address as many of the issues identified within the crofting community requiring action as possible.
Committee convener Edward Mountain said: "Several crofting acts have been passed in recent years, making some useful changes but without fully dealing with all of the issues the crofting communities are keen to see addressed.
"A lot of work has already been done by crofting stakeholders to identify what the priority issues are, and the committee feels that a new bill is required which deals with these in a comprehensive manner.
"We also agree with many of our witnesses, who told us that before identifying what should be delivered from legislative reform, the Scottish government needs to develop a clear policy setting out the role crofting is expected to play in the 21st Century."
The MSP added: "In the months and years to come, the committee expects to see development of policy and legislation which is fully fit for purpose, allowing crofting to flourish and to continue to make an important and sustainable contribution to the rural economy in Scotland."
The Scottish government said it noted the publication of the committee's report.
A spokesman said: "We will take the time to give the recommendations full and proper consideration.
"We are currently undertaking early engagement with stakeholders to take forward work on future crofting legislation.
"There will be full public consultation as part of the bill development process and responses to such a consultation would be welcome."
Last month, Scottish ministers demanded "urgent action" after another report highlighted "worrying failures" at the Crofting Commission.
A review ordered by the government found "personality clashes" amid issues with management at the group.
There has also been a long-running row at the commission over its leadership and the management of common grazing land.
Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said it was "essential" that governance was improved "immediately".
Bill Barron, the new chief executive of the commission, said the review had raised "important points" which he was "committed" to addressing.
The review followed a protracted internal dispute in the commission, which grew from a row over the running of land shared by crofters to raise livestock.

It is thought to be inspired by a trend in America and officers said youngsters had been left "incredibly distressed".
Northumbria Police said it had received six separate reports since Friday, leaving parents concerned.
A spokesman said a teenager from Blakelaw had been arrested in connection with a "clown" incident.
He added a bladed article had also been recovered.
No-one has so far been injured, but the force has also received reports of clowns chasing people in the street.
Insp Stephen Wykes said: "The people carrying out these pranks may think they're being funny, but it is leaving a number of young people incredibly distressed.
"Parents of the children affected, and teachers at our local schools, are understandably concerned and we are working very closely.
"There has only been a handful of these incidents, which we think have been inspired by a trend in America, but we are keen to stop them before they cause anyone else further distress."
There have been reports across the US of men dressed up as clowns trying to lure children into woods, as well as running around with knives and guns.
This has led to a number of arrests as well as police telling people to take photos of any clowns they see to help identify them.
One hundred drivers aged 75 and over are involved in the project, focussing on driving off at road junctions.
Figures show drivers aged 20 to 59 caused four-and-a-half times more road accidents than those aged 60 to 99.
But Dorset Council said it was looking at ways to manage having the highest amount of elderly drivers in the UK.
Dorset County Council's road safety manager Rob Smith said its research showed "a large proportion of crashes where the older driver is deemed blameworthy occur at junctions when turning right".
He added this "may be due to failure to judge speed and distance properly due to the ageing process".
The council is working with Dorset Road Safe and a research specialist from Warwick University to evaluate whether a series of theory and practical lessons, costing £6,000 in total, will reduce the county's elderly driver accident statistics.
Initial results will be announced in the spring.
Dorset Police figures show the highest amount of road accidents between April 2012 and 2013 actually involved young drivers, with those aged 20-29 involved in 223 incidents.
This compares with 44 drivers aged 70 to 79, 26 drivers aged 80 to 89 and five drivers aged 90 to 99 in the same period.
Young-versus-old driver data is used by a number of road safety charities to argue elderly drivers do not pose the greatest danger behind the wheel.
Mr Smith said young drivers were also a "priority road user group" but that offers of free or reduced price refresher sessions had a "very low take up".
The AA said it supported the older driver project.
Spokesman Paul Watters said: "There are now more than 1m drivers in the UK who are over 80 and, with an ageing population, this is only going to increase."
He added the AA's studies decades ago "identified some older driver issues setting in at around 55 years".
At the moment, motorists over 70 must declare they are fit every three years, but they do not have to take a driving or medical exam.
The report, which reviewed cladding on the trauma unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, said the building was "high risk" because of the alarms and escape plan alone.
Without action, it suggested there were grounds for the fire service to restrict access.
Patients are due to be moved by Friday.
The building could be closed for up to a year while works are carried out to make it safe.
The review, by Trenton Fire, recommended evacuation lifts should be installed at each end of the building and the alarm system changed.
It also said the building's cladding should be replaced.
Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital, announced on Tuesday it would "implement any changes necessary" to ensure patients are safe.
The three-storey unit, which was built in 2002 and has 52 beds, is used by patients who are immobile due to the care they are receiving.
The building has one set of two lifts, but the review said the escape plan had been that they were not to be used for evacuation and the escape procedures were based upon waiting for the fire service.
It added: "This is not in accordance with legislative guidance, the fire service should not be relied upon to assist with means of escape."
"This is considered a high risk issue."
The report concluded the problems with the building would generally need to be solved within a few days, and that patients should be moved because it would not be possible to fix them in such a short period.
But the ground floor can still be used and staff can use the second and third floors subject to additional assessment.
Manannán Mac Lir, which is made out of fibre glass and stainless steel, was stolen last week from Binevenagh Mountain near Limavady in County Londonderry.
Limavady police have asked the public to look out for "a well-known 6ft tall striking local male with an athletic build," which seems normal enough.
Suspicions may be raised by the description of him as being "bare-chested with only a thin shawl held at the neck with a decorative clasp to keep his top half warm".
"Evidence at the scene suggests he has injuries to his feet!" is the tongue-in-cheek giveaway line in PSNI Limavady's Facebook appeal that the man in question is the missing statue.
It was installed about a year ago and had become a popular tourist attraction.
Those who made off with the statue left a wooden cross with the words, 'You shall have no other gods before me' in its place.
In its renewed appeal issued on Tuesday, the police said: "He is a very striking fella so if you have seen him please let us know."
Sculptor John Sutton, who has worked on the Game of Thrones television series, said last week that it would have taken a number of men with angle grinders several hours to remove the £10,000 figure from its base, but the materials would not have been worth stealing.
"It took me months and months to make and five or six men to carry it up there and install it," he said.
"It was very heavy and would have taken a long time to remove."
A "Bring Back Manannán Mac Lir the Sea God" Facebook page has already received more than 5,000 likes.
A sea deity in Irish mythology, Manannán Mac Lir is also said to have been the first ruler of the Isle of Man.
Chafodd Jeffrey John, sydd yn ddeon yn St Albans, ddim mo'i ddewis fel esgob newydd Llandaf yn dilyn cyfarfod yn gynharach y mis yma.
Honnodd bod un o'r esgobion presennol wedi dweud wrtho y byddai'n "ormod o gur pen" ei benodi gan ei fod mewn partneriaeth sifil, er ei fod yn dilyn rheolau'r eglwys pan mae'n dod at berthynas rywiol.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr Eglwys yng Nghymru bod yr esgobion yn gwadu'r cyhuddiad o homoffobia.
Ysgrifennodd Dr John at Esgob Abertawe ac Aberhonddu, yr uwch-esgob ar hyn o bryd, wedi i gyfarfod o'r coleg etholiadol fethu â dod i benderfyniad ar olynydd i Dr Barry Morgan fel Esgob Llandaf.
Mae'n debyg i Dr John dderbyn mwyafrif o'r pleidleisiau, ond dim digon i gyrraedd y ddwy ran o dair oedd eu hangen dan reolau'r eglwys.
Dywedodd bod sylwadau homoffobaidd wedi cael eu gwneud yn ystod cyfarfod y coleg etholiadol, sydd yn cynnwys esgobion, clerigwyr ac aelodau eraill.
"Yn bwysicach fyth, roedd yr unig ddadleuon yn erbyn fy apwyntiad - yn benodol gan ddau o'r esgobion - yn ymwneud yn benodol â'r ffaith mod i'n hoyw ac/neu mewn partneriaeth sifil, ac y byddai fy apwyntiad yn dod â sylw cythryblus y gallai'r esgobaeth wneud hebddo," meddai.
Ychwanegodd bod un o'r esgobion wedi dweud wrtho dros y ffôn eu bod yn "rhy flinedig" i ddelio â'r problemau fyddai'n deillio o'i benodi.
"Dyw hynny ddim yn sail foesol na chyfreithiol i fy nghadw i allan," meddai.
Yn dilyn methiant y coleg etholiadol i ddod i benderfyniad, dan reolau'r eglwys mae'r penderfyniad nawr yn disgyn ar fainc yr esgobion.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr Eglwys yng Nghymru: "Yn ystod cyfarfod ddiweddar y coleg etholiadol chafodd yr un ymgeisydd mwyafrif o ddau ran o dri o'r pleidleisiau i gael eu hethol yn Esgob Llandaf. Bydd esgobion yr Eglwys nawr yn gwneud penodiad.
"Yn dilyn proses o ymgynghori maen nhw wedi llunio rhestr fer o enwau sydd yn gyfrinachol. Fodd bynnag, mae'r esgobion yn gwadu'n gryf unrhyw honiadau o homoffobia."
Cafodd Jeffrey John, gafodd ei eni yn Nhonyrefail, Rhondda Cynon Taf, ei enwebu fel Esgob Reading yn 2003.
Ond gofynnwyd iddo dynnu'i enw yn ôl gan Archesgob Caergaint, Rowan Williams a hynny wedi i rai arweinwyr yn yr eglwys fygwth gadael y gymundeb petai'r penodiad yn cael ei gadarnhau.

The transfer of the British and Irish Lions number eight, 24, was vetoed by Wales coach Warren Gatland.
Faletau is out of contract at the end of the season, with Newport Gwent Dragons coach Lyn Jones claiming the player has had "his head turned" by Bath, who have not given up.
"If he's available next summer - which he is - then we'll look," Ford said.
"It's disappointing, but Warren and the Welsh Rugby Union have got every right to keep him there.
"I don't get involved in the politics of that but he's gone now, unfortunately for him, for us and for Dragons."
Faletau would be free to move in the summer of 2016 unless he signs a new Welsh deal before then.
He did not accept the offer of a national dual contract early in 2015 and it was subsequently withdrawn.
Under the funding agreement for Welsh domestic rugby, called the Rugby Services Agreement (RSA), Gatland has to sanction international players moving outside Wales if they are already under contract to a Welsh region.
The terms of the agreement stipulate that only two players can be selected for the national squad who play for clubs outside Wales. The ruling applies only to players who move or negotiate new contracts after the signing of the RSA in August 2014.
Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones believes outside forces have unsettled Faletau, who was one of Wales' best players at the World Cup.
"Toby's had his head turned this season and it's been a difficult time for everybody," Jones said.
"We're all keen to move forward and look forward to the rest of the season."
Medics said women and children were among those who died in Wahijah, a village near the Red Sea port of Mocha.
The Saudi-led coalition, which began an air campaign in March to defeat the Houthi rebel movement, denied it was responsible for the attack.
However, witnesses said warplanes targeted the celebration and Yemeni officials acknowledged a "mistake".
The UN says almost 4,900 people have been killed in the past six month, including 2,200 civilians.
A resident of Wahijah told the Reuters news agency that two tents where a wedding for a local man affiliated with the Houthis was being celebrated were targeted in the air strike.
Many of the victims were women and children, the resident added.
Yemeni security sources told the Associated Press that the coalition had targeted the wedding, and the agency quoted a senior government official as saying the strike was "a mistake".
"This is a new crime that is added to the massacres committed by the Saudi regime against the people of Yemen," said the rebel-controlled Saba news agency.
However, the coalition subsequently denied being behind the attack.
Spokesman Brig-Gen Ahmed al-Asiri told Reuters: "There have been no air operations by the coalition in that area for three days. This is totally false news."
Coalition warplanes have previously bombed non-military sites, killing dozens of civilians.
An attack on a bottled-water factory in northern Hajja province in August killed 17 civilians and 14 rebels. The previous month, an air strike near a power plant in Mocha reportedly killed 65 civilians.
Wahijah is located in Taiz province, where militiamen loyal to the internationally recognised government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi have been battling Houthi rebels and allied army units loyal to ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Earlier this week, Medecins Sans Frontieres said only seven of Taiz's 21 hospitals were still open. They were "totally overwhelmed" by casualties and have run out of essential medication, it warned.
South Africa opener Elgar (158) made his second ton of the season, while Gregory made 137, his maiden first-class century as the pair added 249 for the sixth wicket.
Josh Davey made 47 and Jamie Overton a swift 37 as Somerset declared on 443-9.
Middlesex openers Nick Gubbins and Nick Compton survived a few scares to reach the close on 42-0.
Gregory and Elgar had come together with Somerset struggling on 80-5, but they turned the game on its head, both batting deep into the afternoon session as Middlesex's bowlers toiled under blue skies.
Elgar, who has reached 50 in eight of his past 10 innings for Division One's bottom side, was finally removed by James Franklin (2-34) as the pair fell just 16 runs short of the county's record sixth-wicket stand, set in 1961 by Bill Alley and Ken Palmer.
Gregory, who was dropped by Ollie Rayner on 31, easily surpassed his previous best first-class knock of 73, before Toby Roland-Jones had him caught at long leg by Tom Helm shortly before tea.
Davey beat the bat of Gubbins and Compton as Middlesex began their reply, but the openers saw the hosts through to the close with all wickets intact.
After also bagging his first-ever five-wicket return at Lord's in 2013, to also post his maiden Championship century there led to Gregory labelling the Home of Cricket as his lucky ground.
Lewis Gregory told BBC Radio Somerset:
"It's clearly a lucky ground for me. It's been a special day. It felt really good to do it here. I've always known the ability was there and I was capable of this.
"But I really have to give a lot of credit to Dean. He kept me calm and didn't let me get carried away with the situation.
"We weren't in a great place when I went out to bat and, at first, Dean and I just had to scrap things out.
"We just kept trucking along, took each 30 minutes as it came and went and tried to stay out there as long as we could."
Middlesex's Tom Helm told BBC Radio London:
"If you got the ball in the right areas there was a little something.
"But fair play to Lewis and Dean, they both played really well.
"That's the first time I've gone for 100 runs, which wasn't great, but overall I was fairly happy.
"It's looking like a draw from here but that's by no means definite."
More than 70 researchers based in the frozen continent were able to cast early ballots.
Australia's electoral office organised polling booths at each of the country's three Antarctic stations.
Opinion polls suggest Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will beat Opposition Leader Bill Shorten when the official poll is held on Saturday.
The bases stay connected to the outside world mainly through a low-bandwidth internet connection.
Temperatures can drop to as low as minus 40C and casting a vote surrounded by snow and ice proved a novelty.
"They spend about six months of the year cut off from the outside world," said a spokeswoman for the Australian Antarctic Division.
"It's a bit of fun for them this time of year."
In a statement, they said an individual was interviewed over offences which were "alleged to have occurred at a children's home" in the 1970s.
The matter was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which "advised there was insufficient evidence to take any further action".
A documentary detailing similar allegations is due to air this week.
The broadcaster, who died last year, is accused of sexual abuse against under-age teenage girls in the ITV1 investigation, to be shown on Wednesday.
Several alleged victims speak on the programme. They say the abuse took place in hospitals, schools and BBC buildings.
In a statement, the BBC said it had found no evidence of abuse taking place on its premises.
"Whilst the BBC condemns any behaviour of the type alleged in the strongest terms, in the absence of evidence of any kind found at the BBC that corroborates the allegations that have been made it is simply not possible for the corporation to take any further action," it added.
Sir Jimmy was famous for TV shows like Jim'll Fix It and Top Of The Pops and was at the height of his fame in the 1970s.
Esther Rantzen, who worked as a television presenter at the BBC at the same time as Sir Jimmy, said there were rumours about the star.
The 72-year-old, who appears in the ITV1 documentary, said that after listening to some of the interviews with the alleged victims, she found it "impossible" to keep her neutrality.
"I don't think that any of those young women were inventing or creating a lie for any reason," she told the BBC.
"They didn't seem to me to have any motive or malice. They were sad and their memories were clearly very painful. There wasn't much anger in them, they just wanted to put the record straight."
Sir Jimmy's nephew, Roger Foster, said his family was "disgusted and disappointed" by the programme, adding that he was concerned the allegations could damage the reputation of charities Sir Jimmy raised funds for.
"The guy hasn't been dead for a year yet and they're bringing these stories out.
"It could affect his legacy, his charity work, everything. I'm very sad and disgusted," he said.
But fellow broadcaster Paul Gambaccini said he had been "waiting 30 years" for such stories to come out.
Speaking on ITV1's Daybreak programme, he said newspapers had been primed to run similar stories while Sir Jimmy was alive, but the star had intervened to prevent their publication.
"On [one] occasion, and this cuts to the chase of the whole matter, he was called and he said, 'Well, you could run that story, but if you do there goes the funds that come in to Stoke Mandeville - do you want to be responsible for the drying up of the charity donations?' And they backed down."
In the ITV1 documentary, one woman who remains anonymous said she met Sir Jimmy at the BBC in 1969, when she was 15.
She claims he indecently assaulted her "probably dozens of times".
But speaking on ITV1's This Morning, host Phillip Schofield questioned how Savile would have been able to take teenage girls into his BBC dressing room without being disturbed.
"I know the layout of those dressing rooms. I know the way a production team works. I know that you're seldom ever left alone in your dressing room, there's always someone knocking on the door.
"And one of these girls says that it was dozens of times. So if there was a 14-year-old girl who was abused dozens of times, what was she doing in his dressing room, and would no-one have known?"
No charges were ever brought against Sir Jimmy when he was alive and ITV said it had taken into full account the fact he could no longer defend the claims.
It said the documentary is the result of an "in-depth investigation into long-standing allegations of serious and widespread sexual misconduct by Sir Jimmy Savile".
"Because of the very serious nature of the claims made by several interviewees in relation to this, particular care and consideration was of course given to the decision to produce and broadcast this programme," said a spokesperson.
It happened at 16:50 on Tuesday when the Lothian Buses single decker bus was travelling along Musselburgh Road, Dalkeith, near Thornybank roundabout.
No-one was hurt but about £800 worth of damage was caused.
Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses, saying a passenger could have been hurt by the "reckless act".
Sgt Michele Lindsay, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a particularly irresponsible and reckless act, which could have potentially injured one or more of the passengers travelling on the bus at the time.
"We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area around 16:50 on Tuesday, 27 October, or anyone who has information regarding this crime.
"We will be carrying out patrols in the area to provide reassurance, deter further incidents and deal with any crimes detected."
Areas affected during 2015/2016 will include women's refuge services, community centres, adult social care and dial-a-ride.
Conservative, UKIP, and Labour councillors voted in favour of the cuts, while the Liberal Democrats voted against.
The Lib Dems had been concerned about a potential loss of 80 jobs.
Council leader Donna Jones had said the authority needed to find £37m of savings over the next three years, on top of £61m it had already saved in the last four years.
Lib Dem leader Gerald Vernon-Jackson had said Portsmouth residents "deserve better than to have the most vulnerable people see their services slashed, and put out of jobs".
Council worker Lee Sprake, joint branch secretary of the Portsmouth Unison branch, said: "Potentially my new year present is that I'm going to receive notice, it's due on the 5th or 7th of January.
"At a time when I'm 50 years old I should be looking at spending my later years enjoying it, I brought up a family, I've got grandchildren and now what am I going to do? A zero hours contract somewhere? Some sort of agency work?"
The council, which is under no overall control but is being run as a minority Conservative administration, released its full proposals last month.
Following a budget consultation with 2,500 residents and staff, it had said it would not cut the grants for the Kings Theatre, New Theatre Royal and Aspex Gallery.
Security company Arbor Networks said the attack is the biggest they have ever seen.
It is having an impact on popular services like Netflix.
The massive number of computers involved in the attack has slowed down the entire internet.
Security expert Professor Alan Woodward said: "Imagine the internet as a motorway."
"With this attack, there's so much traffic it's clogging up the motorway itself."
On the morning of 1 January, he discovered a dead and endangered sea turtle which looked like it had been "sliced into half", apparently by boat propellers.
The 46-year-old real estate managing director told BBC News that he found the carcass washed ashore on a remote part of Changi beach on the north-east of the island, near a ferry terminal.
"It was the start of the new year and I decided to go jogging along the coastal stretch which is generally quiet and sees very few people," he said.
Mr Chandran said an "overpowering smell" first caught his attention.
"I decided to take a closer look. One thing led to another and I found the dead turtle."
The creature was not moving but had a deep open gash across its body, though its head and flippers were intact.
"I was very alarmed and sad to see such a graceful and giant rare creature lying dead on our shores," said Mr Chandran.
"It had probably been struck by a ship in the waters."
He phoned the police and gave them information about the carcass as well as its location. Government officials later got in touch with Mr Chandran, saying the carcass was recovered.
Mr Chandran, who has visited turtle sanctuaries before, said that he was "puzzled" as to why such a huge and rare animal was coming to Singapore shores.
"This was very tragic to see. I hope we as human beings can learn to live peacefully with nature and create awareness to avoid future tragedies, especially with endangered animals."
There was a similar public grief among Singaporeans on social media for the unfortunate animal, after the discovery was reported by the Straits Times.

"Either our waters have too high ship traffic or there is something driving marine animals the wrong way, landwards rather than out to sea," wrote Ping Teo on Facebook. "Underwater mining also creates a lot of noise pollution for sea creatures trying to gauge direction."
Another Singaporean Vincent Teo pointed out the immense pain the animal must have suffered. "A turtle's shell is actually part of its rib cage. That must have hurt badly."
Christopher Sim described it as a terrible accident. "It reminds us just how much we must be careful not to trample on Mother Nature."
Sea turtles are highly threatened and many species have been classified "endangered" or "critically endangered".
While conservation has helped boost population numbers, they still face grave threats from man such as becoming tangled in fishing nets. They are often killed for their shells, which are used commonly used in tourist souvenirs and their eggs are also harvested and collected.
Sightings of them in Singapore, an island city-state, remain rare, according to the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) charity.
"Marine turtles are endangered and it saddens us every time we come across such a tragedy," said Deputy Chief Executive Kalai Vanan Balakrishnan.
"This particular turtle must have died a painful death and just goes to show that marine life is also being affected by presence of ships and boats."
Mental Health Aberdeen said the changes would mean it having to increase what it delivers but with less funding.
It said that its decision not to tender meant it was having to close all its Aberdeenshire services and cut 26 jobs.
Aberdeenshire Council said it was seeking to provide equitable services to people across its area.
Mental Health Aberdeen provides support, counselling and community projects in Inverurie, Ellon, Banff and other locations in Aberdeenshire.
Chief executive Astrid Whyte said she was "saddened and disappointed" that the charity had to close the services.
She said the decision had "not been taken lightly", adding: "We cannot in good faith go forward due to the number of concerns we have with the changes due to be made to the way mental health care is provided across Aberdeenshire.
"Our priority is foremost with the welfare of all people with mental health difficulties."
Aberdeenshire Council has five tenders to consider for the provision of mental health services and a service provider is expected to be in place in January next year.
A spokesman said: "Aberdeenshire Council requires a mental health service which promotes the achievement of mentally well and inclusive communities in which people who experience mental ill health are enabled to recover and achieve their personal outcomes.
"We therefore invited organisations to tender to provide equitable services in north, central and south Aberdeenshire, supporting those recovering from mental illness and helping them to participate in ordinary mainstream social, leisure, educational, and cultural activities alongside other members of the community."
Before announcing the best picture winner at last month's Academy Awards, the actor joked: "Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?"
Penn was referring to Birdman's Mexican director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
Inarritu, a long-time friend of the actor who directed him in 21 Grams, said he found it "hilarious". But some pundits were less impressed.
Entertainment Weekly's Nina Terrero tweeted she would never see a Penn film again, saying she was "shocked, angry [and] upset" at his "disgusting" comment.
The Washington Post's Elahe Izadi accused Penn of insensitivity: "Hey congrats on winning the award of your life here's a green card joke to announce it."
"Green card" refers to the document that gives immigrants permanent residency in the US.
"I'm always surprised by flagrant stupidity. I keep having more hope,'' said Penn on Saturday in Los Angeles during a promotional tour for his new film The Gunman.
"I have absolutely no apologies. In fact, I have a big [expletive] you for anybody who is so stupid not to have gotten the irony when you've got a country that is so xenophobic.
"If they had their way, you wouldn't have great film-makers like Alejandro working in this country. Thank God we do."
The 54-year-old went on to explain that his comment had been intentional.
"There's a little inside humour with he and I where I know, and wanted to know, that he would be the first person in that room to know that his film won," he said.
Speaking backstage after the 22 February ceremony, Inarritu said he and Penn have "that kind of brutal relationship where only true friendship can survive".
One of the victims was a childhood friend of his daughter, another was an autograph hunter aged seven or eight.
Prosecutors said Harris was a "Jekyll and Hyde" character who took advantage of his fame. Sentencing is on Friday.
Police said they were considering fresh allegations against Harris, 84, which did not form part of his trial.
Scotland Yard said if the claims meet the force's threshold for investigation they will be looked into further.
The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, said a custodial term was "uppermost in the court's mind", but he wanted to see a medical report before passing sentence.
Harris, who was granted bail, faced a mass of photographers and reporters as he left Southwark Crown Court in the company of his wife Alwen and daughter Bindi, who had both attended most of the trial.
Prosecutors said Harris used his "status and position" to abuse his victims, and he had a dark side to his personality.
The central allegation concerned a friend of Harris's daughter, whom the court heard he groomed and molested from the age of 13 until she was 19.
The other victims told the court they were touched or groped by Harris, sometimes at his public appearances.
The jury deliberated for 37 hours and 45 minutes before reaching their unanimous verdicts.
Harris was found guilty of all 12 charges he was prosecuted on. They were:
Six other women also told the court about indecent assaults Harris had carried out against them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta. The entertainer could not be prosecuted over those incidents in a British court but the evidence was introduced by the prosecution as an added illustration of his behaviour.
Letitia Fitzpatrick, who gave a character reference for the prosecution about an alleged assault on her, told the BBC: "It was such an unpleasant experience that I just wanted to forget about it and move on and not really think about it again."
The verdicts came just before 3pm, almost 38 hours into the jury's deliberations.
Before they were delivered the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, made it clear to all those inside court two - the journalists, the public, and the relatives of Rolf Harris - that he expected silence throughout the process.
Everyone took him at his word. There was barely a sound as the forewoman stood.
Rolf Harris was allowed to remain seated in the glass-fronted dock, listening as he had throughout his trial, on a headset.
A short distance away his wife, Alwen Hughes, his daughter Bindi, his niece Jenny and other relatives and supporters looked on.
Twelve times the forewoman of the jury said the word "guilty". Harris remained completely impassive. Bindi widened her eyes, looking stunned. Jenny turned to Harris's wife and gently shook her head.
They had been convinced of his innocence. But the jury was sure of his guilt.
Harris, from Bray, Berkshire, was first questioned in November 2012 in Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree investigation set up in the wake of sexual abuse allegations against the late BBC Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile.
Although his arrest was unconnected to Savile's offending, the publicity surrounding that case had prompted the friend of Harris's daughter to come forward.
But Harris was not initially named by the police or identified in the mainstream media until a few weeks after his arrest in March 2013.
The other women who gave evidence in court contacted police after Harris's arrest was made public and he was charged in August of that year.
Speaking outside court after the seven-week trial, Jenny Hopkins, deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for London, said: "The victims in this case have suffered in silence for many years and have only recently found the courage to come forward.
"Each victim, unknown to the others, described a similar pattern of behaviour; that of a man acting without fear of the consequences.
"I hope today's verdict provides other victims with the courage and confidence to come forward, no matter who is alleged to have carried out the abuse."
Peter Watt, director of national services at the NSPCC, said the children's charity had had 28 calls about Harris through its helpline, including 13 people who said they had been abused by him.
He added: "All of this was passed to the police, helping them to build their case against Harris, whose actions over the years have seriously damaged the lives of his victims.
"His reckless and brazen sexual offending, sometimes in public places, bizarrely within sight of people he knew, speaks volumes about just how untouchable he thought he was."
Ms Lee, 43, said the abuse had led her to contemplate taking her own life.
The mother-of-three said: "This has impacted me in ways you can't imagine and in ways that can't be taken back...
"To this day I can't go to sleep without lying in a lounge and having the TV on. I cannot lie in a room and try and sit with my thoughts and go to sleep."
The childhood friend of Harris's daughter, who has not been named, said: "I am very relieved, that's all I am prepared to say".
A make-up artist who told the trial that she was was repeatedly groped by Harris in Australia told the BBC "justice has finally been done".
Harris was a mainstay of family entertainment in Britain and his native Australia for more than 50 years. He arrived in London in 1952, becoming a fixture on TV screens as a children's entertainer, songwriter, and entertainer, on the BBC and other networks.
Harris was also an artist and painted a portrait of the Queen to mark her 80th Birthday in 2006.
During his career he was made an OBE, MBE and CBE. He was also awarded a Bafta fellowship two years ago but the academy has announced it will strip him of the honour ago in light of the conviction.
In his evidence, Harris reminded the jury of his career, how he had invented the wobble board instrument by accident and popularised the didgeridoo, and talked about his hit records, briefly singing a line from one of them, Jake the Peg.
He denied having sexual contact with his daughter's friend while she was under 16, but said they had consensual sexual contact later. He described himself as a "touchy feely sort of person" and rejected the other women's claims of sexual assault.

Multi-weight UFC world champion McGregor has long talked up a fight against undefeated 40-year-old Mayweather (49-0), who announced last week that he is "out of retirement" to make the fight happen.
UFC president Dana White also suggested confirmation of the match-up would be soon, saying this week he "doesn't see how it doesn't happen".
The fight is widely expected to be held in Las Vegas in June.

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

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

Replacements: Lynch, Springer, Monaghan, Larroyer.

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

But he added that "the devil is in the detail" - and attacked the agreement as providing a "blank cheque for a Tory Brexit".
With the deadline for the Stormont talks on Thursday, there is not much time for the politicians to ponder their options.
Sinn Fein will want to make more progress on their other objectives, like greater legal recognition for the Irish language.
It is uncertain whether republicans will erase their red line, but the DUP-Tory deal has given them something to think about.
Dun Deardail was constructed on a prominent knoll on Sgorr Chalum, a hill overlooking the River Nevis in Glen Nevis.
AOC Archaeology, which will lead volunteers in the dig, has described the site as "enigmatic".
Little is known about the origins of the fort, who built it or when it was constructed.
The first phase in a three-year project will examine the defences.
They were vitrified, meaning stone and wood in the defensive walls were burned at a high temperature for a long time to fuse the stone together.
Examples of vitrified forts can be found across Scotland, including in Aberdeenshire.
The Lochaber site has never before been excavated or dated with any accuracy.
Forestry Commission Scotland, which is supporting the project, said it may have been constructed in the first millennium BC or first millennium AD.
The commission said the fort's name may suggest a link with an ancient Irish myth called Deirdre of the Sorrows.
The legend tells of a chieftain's daughter who was said to be so beautiful that kings, lords and warriors fought and died to try to win her hand in marriage.
Martin Cook, of AOC, said: "We are really looking forward to getting started at Dun Deardail.
"This promises to be a really exciting excavation, yielding the first evidence to confirm the date and nature of this enigmatic hillfort."
The first phase of the excavation will take place from 14 to 28 August. Further digs are planned for 2016 and 2017.
Jeremy Corbyn unusually had the better of Theresa May in Prime Minister's Questions, brandishing leaked texts across the despatch box, claiming evidence that the Tories had given Surrey a special deal to avoid the chance of a damaging 15% council tax rise in a Conservative safe haven.
The council, and ministers, denied there had been any stitch-up.
But hours later, the government admitted they had agreed, in theory, that Surrey County Council could, like several others, try out keeping all of the business rates they raise from 2018, which could plug the gaps in funding in future.
That change is due to be in force across in England by 2020. Technically therefore, Surrey County Council has not been offered any additional funding. But the prospect of more flexibility over their own income in future could help fill the council's coffers, and seems to have eased some of their concerns.
But as a solution to easing the pressure in social care across the country now, the idea could fall far short.
Where there is high need for care for the elderly, there is likely to be a lower local tax base. Conversely, in more prosperous areas where councils can raise a lot of tax, there is likely to be less need for financial help.
One local government leader told me "all that would do is to lock in the existing iniquity to the system". And major changes to how councils pay their way could make a difference in the long term. Many argue, the social care crisis is now.
Medics, NHS leaders, local government leaders, MPs, former ministers, and of course many members of the public are day after day reporting concerns about the creaks in the social care system, arguing for big changes or big extra money.
There are though few signs of any extra cash on the way in the Budget next month. Privately ministers are hunting for solutions. The prime minister's allies say she is prepared to be "radical".
A Tory council might have been appeased by a promise to change their future funding - others may not be so easily satisfied.
This is the first time the Taliban have agreed to sit across the table from Afghan officials. Previously, they insisted they could only talk to the Americans who held "real power" in Afghanistan.
And this is also the first time the Taliban have agreed to participate in talks publicly acknowledged by both Islamabad and Kabul.
Previous attempts at talks either failed, or were shrouded in secrecy and often denied by the Taliban.
The US attempt to engage the Taliban in Qatar in 2012 failed when then Afghan President Hamid Karzai objected to the Taliban raising their official flag above their office, making it look like they were a government-in-exile. Pakistanis also felt they had been bypassed at the Doha talks.
In recent months, the Taliban have denied numerous claims that Taliban officials of varying levels of seniority had actually met Afghan officials at meetings which took place in Dubai, China and Norway, saying if such talks did take place, they did not have the official sanction of the Taliban leadership.
But more significantly, these latest talks were held in Pakistan, which has long been seen as holding the key to war and peace in Afghanistan.
And the fact that officials from the US, China and the UN were also in attendance lends credence to the view that some sort of a peace process may finally be taking shape in Afghanistan.
But despite all these reasons for optimism, there are complex and deeply-rooted geo-political issues that make the Afghan issue especially difficult.
Pakistan's motives are one factor.
Islamabad has entertained and often projected a longstanding fear that its eastern neighbour, India, wants to destabilise it.
Afghanistan, being the only country to have opposed Pakistan's membership of the UN after independence, is seen by Pakistan as a natural conduit of Indian "conspiracies" to surround Pakistan.
The fact that political decision-making in Pakistan has largely been dominated by the military has tended to create a war economy and a security state focused more on war games than statesmanship.
The Pakistani military has long been accused of using the Taliban as proxies to control Afghanistan and counter Indian influence there.
In the short run, Pakistan has a motive to support peace in Afghanistan as a means of encouraging Chinese funds to develop its faltering economy. But the military still remains dominant and military thinking may continue to dominate its regional policies.
Afghanistan, too, is a government with two heads - one led by a Pashtun president, and the other by a coterie of nationalist Afghans including both Pashtun and non-Pashtun leaders.
While President Ashraf Ghani has shown a willingness to play ball with Pakistan, others have remained unconvinced, and their ideas are reinforced by the Taliban's unusually large gains across Afghanistan in over 13 years of war.
Many believe the top Taliban leaders are completely dependent on Pakistan for sanctuary and protection, and could not have ordered such widespread attacks in Afghanistan without Pakistan's knowledge or consent.
This internal bickering is not going to help an Afghan military and police force already struggling in their first post-Nato fighting season against a resurgent Taliban.
The weaker the government forces, the higher the Taliban's demands, and the stiffer the resistance of the anti-Pakistan leadership in Kabul to the terms of a peace deal.
One measure of Pakistan's seriousness to promote peace negotiations would be the extent to which it considers President Ghani to be able to hold on to his pro-Pakistan stance.
Pakistan will be inclined to make a greater push for a negotiated settlement if it feels President Ghani's grip on the situation is loosening. It does not want to be seen as the villain, which would increase its isolation.
It will also be keen to neutralise anti-Pakistan elements in Afghanistan, at least for the time being, so as to reduce their urge to use the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) - who have sanctuaries on the Afghan side - against targets in Pakistan.
For the Taliban, too, Mr Ghani's resilience will be an important factor in deciding when it is time to get down to serious give and take.
And how successful Islamic State (IS) are in attracting Afghan fighters and controlling territory will also feature in Taliban calculations.
If the IS threat grows, the Taliban will feel increasingly compelled to hasten a settlement for security reasons and to control the spread of a rival militant group.
With so many varying scenarios, it is hard to predict how likely it is that negotiators will arrive at an agreement acceptable to all sides.
As well as enforcing parking laws, officers are looking out for anything that might tempt thieves.
Some motorists leave Christmas presents on show, an officer, who wanted to remain anonymous, said.
"If we see valuables on show we contact the police crime reduction team who then try and contact the driver with advice on keeping belongings secure."
If the enforcement officers come across a vehicle with an open window or other sign it is not totally secure where possible they will alert CCTV operators to keep it under surveillance.
Two of the most common items that the officers see on show in cars are mobile phones and sat navs both of which are very tempting to thieves, the council said.
The officers are especially vigilant over the Christmas period when crime surges.
This year the city council hopes the civil enforcement officers will have made a significant contribution to cutting crime, the council said.
On their way back, the planes flew over the village of pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh.
Their flight coincided with a visit to the village by Jordanian King Abdullah II, who was meeting the pilot's family.
The king has vowed to the step up the fight against IS. Jordan is part of a US-led coalition bombing the militants.
Lt Kasasbeh was captured by the militants last year after his F-16 fighter jet crashed in Syria. IS this week released a video showing the pilot being burned alive in a cage, sparking calls for revenge in Jordan.
State television pictures on Thursday showed the king sitting sombre-faced with Saif al-Kasasbeh, the pilot's father, at a gathering in Aya village, near the city of Karak, south of the capital Amman.
The king gestured to the skies as the warplanes flew overhead, media reports said.
Mr Kasasbeh told mourners that the aircraft were returning from a raid on Syria's Raqqa, the de facto capital of the militants' self-declared caliphate, which spans territory in Iraq and Syria.
The army did not specify the location of the air strikes, but said in a statement that "dozens of jet fighters" had struck IS targets, including training camps and weapons warehouses.
The air strikes were "just the beginning", the statement added.
State television showed people writing messages on what appeared to be missiles for the air strikes, with one calling IS "the enemies of Islam".
A security official quoted by Reuters news agency said the air strikes had targeted IS in Syria.
Also on Thursday, Jordan released an imprisoned jihadi cleric, Abu Mohammad al-Maqdisi, whose writings had inspired members of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Maqdisi, who has previously condemned IS as a "deviant organisation", was detained in late 2014 for promoting jihadist views online.
The reason for his release was unclear, but security sources told Reuters that Maqdisi was expected to condemn the burning of the pilot.
On Wednesday, Jordan responded to the killing of the pilot by executing two convicts, including Sajida al-Rishawi, a failed female suicide bomber.
Last week, IS had demanded the release of Rishawi in return for sparing the pilot's life. However, it is now believed that IS had in fact killed the pilot a month ago.
Meanwhile, the US military said that the US-led coalition had conducted a total of nine air strikes on IS-targets in Iraq, and three on targets in Syria, between Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Those strikes hit IS units near the Syrian town of Kobane, and in seven Iraqi cities including Fallujah, Kirkuk and Mosul, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement.
On Thursday, Mr Kasasbeh praised the king and condemned the militants.
"You are a wise monarch," Reuters quotes him as saying. "These criminals violated the rules of war in Islam and they have no humanity."
Jordan is one of four Arab states to have taken part in the anti-IS air strikes in Syria. The other countries are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
US officials told the BBC on Wednesday that the UAE had suspended its involvement in the strikes after Lt Kasasbeh was captured in December.
The New York Times quoted officials as saying the UAE wanted the Pentagon to improve its search-and-rescue efforts in Iraq before it resumed bombing missions.

The cause of his death was not immediately clear. He was in a hospital being treated for exhaustion.
A rare artist to have won a Grammy in jazz, pop and R&B categories, Jarreau was famed for writing the theme to hit television show Moonlighting.
Earlier this month, he retired from touring after more than 50 years.
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1940, he started singing as a child, joining his family in church concerts and events.
But his career did not kick off until years later - first, he graduated in psychology and worked at a rehabilitation centre in San Francisco.
His first album, We Got By, came out in 1975 and earned him a German Grammy.
One year later, he launched Glow, with which he also won a German Grammy. In 1977, he released a live album, Look to the Rainbow, which earned him his first Grammy for best jazz singer.
He was awarded again one year later, this time for the album All Fly Home.
He then crossed over into pop, and in 1981, launched Breakin Away, which included the hit We're in This Love Together, which catapulted him to fame. Another Grammy came in, this time as best pop singer.
Finally, his 1992 Heaven and Earth album earned him a Grammy for best R&B vocal performance, meaning he had prizes in the three categories.
According to a post on the star's Twitter profile, his son had recently caught Jarreau singing Moonlighting to one of the nurses in hospital.
Jarreau had suffered health issues in recent years and was hospitalised in 2010 for respiratory problems when touring in France.
A statement on his website read: "His 2nd priority in life was music. There was no 3rd. His 1st priority, far ahead of the other, was healing or comforting anyone in need.
"Whether it was emotional pain, or physical discomfort, or any other cause of suffering, he needed to put our minds at ease and our hearts at rest."
Ofcom said the "fundamental" review would "ensure regulation remains appropriate and sufficient to secure the universal postal service".
Royal Mail no longer faces any national competition for direct delivery of letters, Ofcom said.
Royal Mail said "clarity and certainty" was needed for all market participants.
Whistl confirmed last week that it was pulling out of the direct delivery market. The company had been operating direct deliveries in London, Liverpool and Manchester.
The Dutch-owned firm had suspended deliveries last month after a potential investment partner decided not to fund expansion plans.
Ofcom said that Whistl's withdrawal from direct delivery represented "a significant change" in the market.
The review will look at whether Royal Mail's prices are "both affordable and sufficient to cover the costs of the universal service".
Ofcom's review will also consider whether Royal Mail's "commercial flexibility remains appropriate", and whether wholesale or retail charge controls might be necessary.
Existing regulations for Royal Mail from 2012 were designed to ensure the continuation of a flat-rate, affordable service six days a week.
Ofcom expects its review to be completed during 2016. It will incorporate an existing probe that is looking at Royal Mail's efficiency.
It will also weigh up its performance in the parcels market, and assess the firm's potential to set wholesale prices in a way that may harm competition.
Royal Mail said it would continue "to participate fully in Ofcom's review".
"As the regulator notes, there is significant competition in the UK market in the mails and parcels segments," the company said.
"At the same time the letters segment is in structural decline of 4-6% a year. There is therefore a need for regulatory clarity and certainty for all market participants.
"It is essential that Royal Mail is able to sustain the UK's valued, high quality, high fixed cost universal service for the benefit of all consumers and businesses."
Royal Mail shares fell 1.9% in morning trading on Tuesday.
The Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) has highlighted the problem on Ben Nevis in a series of images in a blog.
The peel can take months to biodegrade and disappear.
Dropped banana skins have also been an issue in the past and in 2009 the John Muir Trust removed more than 1,000 from the summit of Ben Nevis.
In the blog, the SAIS has uploaded photographs of discarded peel of various sizes and stages of decomposition.
The captions under the pictures suggest increasing levels of frustration, going from "Orange peel" to "Orange peel!!!!!!!!!!"
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS), which has raised concerns in the past about litter on Scotland's hills, has urged walkers not leave food waste and other rubbish.
A spokesperson said: "The MCofS applauds the action by organisations carrying out waste collection in areas such as Ben Nevis, which attract large numbers of visitors.
"We will continue to emphasise the need for responsible behaviour in the mountains and for users to comply with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code."
Last year, separate incidents of littering in the Cairngorms prompted angry responses on social media.
The MCofS shared a YouTube clip of a hill walker describing rubbish left in a remote location as "absolute filth".
And one of two volunteers who looks after Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru told of taking four hours to sort through and burn waste left there.
Kirsty Aitchison, 30, from Robroyston, who is a mother-of four, was last seen leaving the Campus bar in Sauchiehall Street at about 03:00 on Sunday.
She is understood to communicate with sign language and had been attending a deaf event at the bar.
Police have now issued an appeal in British Sign Language to encourage members of the deaf community to contact police with information.
A dedicated email address has also been set up.
Ms Aitchison is 5ft, slim, with long, dark hair. She was wearing a black top, cream skirt and black sandals.
She is understood to have been involved in an argument in the pub and is thought to have last been seen getting into a taxi.
Insp Leigh McManus, of Police Scotland, said: "Kirsty hasn't been missing before and it is completely out of character for her not to keep in contact with her family and friends. She was reported missing to police on Sunday afternoon.
"Officers are carrying out extensive inquiries to trace her, and I would ask anyone with any information on her whereabouts to contact Shettleston Police Office through the non-emergency number 101."
The body of a 54-year-old man was found at a flat in Chesham Place by an ambulance crew and police officers at just after 03:30 BST
His death is unexplained, a police spokesman said.
A 60-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in police custody. The two men are thought to have known each other.
The Latics have been looking for a new manager since the departure of John Sheridan, who left to take over at Notts County.
If Oldham do appoint Robinson, the 41-year-old is likely to end his Northern Ireland role.
Robinson is being tipped to name Ian Baraclough as his assistant.
The duo worked together when Baraclough was manager of Motherwell between December 2014 and September 2015.
Former Northern Ireland international Colin Murdock is believed to have been instrumental in sealing Robinson's move to the League One club.
Robinson's work within the Northern Ireland international youth structure has included a stint as Under-21 manager.
Last week, Oldham added former Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll to the coaching staff and gave him a role in helping the board appoint a new manager.
The club said last week that Peter Shirtliff would be remaining on the coaching staff but it was announced on Wednesday that the former Sheffield Wednesday player had left the role "for personal reasons".
Steve Evans, most recently of Leeds United, rejected the offer to manage Oldham despite agreeing personal terms.
Father Michael Higginbottom, 74, is accused of subjecting a teenage boy to repeated sexual abuse in the 1970s.
The assaults are said to have taken place when he was a teacher at St Joseph's College in Lancashire.
The priest denies four counts of a serious sexual offence and indecent assault.
Liverpool Crown Court heard previous allegations had been made against Mr Higginbottom by another pupil in 2007 and the Catholic Church had settled out of court for £35,000.
But Adam Birkby, defending, said although the priest had been charged, no evidence against him was offered in court and not guilty verdicts were entered.
In his closing speech, Mr Birkby said the complainant in the current case had read about the settlement and lied about being abused.
He said: "I say that he has fabricated these allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Higginbottom with the clear aim of achieving thousands of pounds of compensation."
The alleged victim, who said the abuse happened when he was aged 13 and 14, went to the police in 2014.
David Temkin, prosecuting, told the jury the complainant had said the case was not about compensation, but about justice.
In his evidence, Mr Higginbottom, of West Farm Road, Newcastle, told the court he had no memory of the alleged victim and had not sexually abused him.
The court has heard the school, which was based in the Upholland area and has now closed, was attended by boys aged 11 to 18, many of whom were considering a career in the priesthood.
The alleged victim, now in his 50s, told police it was the venue for "mental, physical and sexual abuse".
Mohammad Asif Qaderyan, father of Fatemah Qaderyan, 14, died from injuries sustained in Tuesday's attack.
Fatemah was captain of the all-girl team that made headlines by taking part in the international event last month.
The six team members were initially denied visas to travel to the US.
However, they were eventually allowed in after the reported intervention of President Donald Trump.
"We are all devastated," Fatemah's older brother, Mohammad Reza, told AFP news agency.
"Fatemah hasn't eaten or spoken since the incident and is in a state of shock. Today, after she fainted several times, doctors started IV fluid therapy."
The six girls are all from Herat in western Afghanistan, close to the Iranian border.
Fatemah made an emotional appeal after the team's visa applications to attend the robotics competition in Washington were rejected.
"We want to take the message of peace to America and convey that Afghanistan is not only the country of war, and there are girls who chase their dreams in robots and education," she told AFP at the time.
Officials would not give their reasons for initially refusing the visas. A US travel ban is in place for six Muslim-majority countries but does not include Afghanistan.
However, President Trump persuaded authorities to rethink their decision, AP news agency reported.
The girls went on to win a silver medal for courageous achievement in Washington.
More than 30 people were killed and scores more wounded when a suicide bomber and a gunman stormed the Shia Muslim Jawadia mosque in Herat during evening prayers.
Islamic State militants (IS) said they carried out the attack.
Areas dominated by Shia Muslims in Afghanistan have been repeatedly hit by attacks in the past year, by both IS and the Taliban.
The Danes started the final day in Melbourne with a four-shot cushion, and seven birdies, combined with a single bogey, gave them the win on 20 under.
"It's difficult to describe my feelings," said Kjeldsen, before lifting the Hopkins Trophy.
France, China and the USA tied for second on 16 under.
"We both came into this week in good form and we just gelled so well," added Kjeldsen, who holed a 20-yard putt on the last.
"A friendship has been built as well, and I think that's the whole point of the World Cup of Golf."
Victory for Kjeldsen came at the sixth time of asking, while Olesen was playing in his third World Cup as Denmark beat their previous best finish of second in 2001.
French duo Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque led the chasing pack with a nine-birdie 63 to share second place with China's Wu Anshun and Li Haotong (65) as well as American pairing Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker (66).
Ireland's Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell finished 11 under, level with defending champions Australia, who were represented by Adam Scott and Marc Leishman.
England's Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan closed with a 65, their best round of the tournament, to finish on nine under.
Russell Knox and Duncan Stewart of Scotland ended on six under while Wales' Bradley Dredge and Stuart Manley hit a final-round 63, moving them to five under.
He knows the reams of newsprint devoted to the financial allegations against him and the hours of television debate over the problems of campaigning amid the scandal.
Yet he has walked stony-faced past the protests on his own campaign trail.
Mr Fillon knows that much of his country is waiting for him to resign.
And so he knows, when he unexpectedly cancels an appearance at one of the calendar's most important electoral events and calls a last-minute press conference, it will grab attention: he knows it's the knife that France is watching.
And so, on Wednesday, with his campaign headquarters packed with press, the live cameras trained on his heavy-set face and the twittersphere ablaze with speculation over who he had spoken to, who would be there with him, who had just re-launched their campaign website, he smiled and confirmed that he would continue as the Republicans' candidate, exactly as before.
Exactly as before, that is, with one crucial difference. He told the waiting media that he would appear before a judge in two weeks' time to be placed under formal investigation for embezzlement of public funds.
Having originally said he would step down if he was ever placed under formal investigation, Mr Fillon has changed his mind. The process against him was, he said "a political assassination", and "only the people" could decide his fate in the polling booths next month.
Within hours, his foreign affairs spokesman Bruno Le Maire had quit the campaign, saying that he believed in "standing by what one has said", calling it "indispensable to political credibility".
And Bruno Jeanbart, director of polling company Opinionway, says that right-wing voters might buy Mr Fillon's claim that the case is politically motivated. Either way, he says, this could become a turning point.
"This could be a very important moment in the campaign," Mr Jeanbart said. "But it's very difficult to predict.
"So far, many right wing voters have stuck with him because they want a change of government. But if they think his candidacy will finish badly, it's possible they will shift their support elsewhere - whether to [liberal centrist] Emmanuel Macron or to [far right leader] Marine Le Pen."
Mr Fillon's decision to cling on also sharpens the thorniest question for his party.
He's due to be placed under formal investigation just 48 hours before the deadline to confirm France's presidential candidates.
Replacing him as Republican nominee at this late stage would be a big gamble for the party, but having a candidate under investigation could also backfire.
Polls are already suggesting that support for Mr Fillon has slipped, and would leave him in third place if the first round of voting were held today.
In the meantime, it's become something of a habit for Mr Fillon to march voters, journalists - and sometimes his own campaign advisers - to the top of the campaign hill, before declaring that he was marching straight on down the other side.
It gives him a good platform for his message, but the message itself may be getting harder for voters to swallow.
In November, the Sun alleged an attack took place in May at a Eurovision results party in Ben Howlett's constituency.
The Conservative MP strenuously denied the claim and voluntarily attended a police station to speak to detectives.
Mr Howlett's office said it "understood the matter is now closed".
A CPS spokesman said: "In November 2016, the CPS received a full file from Avon and Somerset Police relating to an allegation of sexual assault in Bath.
"This file has now been considered by a specialist lawyer who has concluded that it does not meet the evidential threshold, and no charge has been authorised." | Children who have TVs in their bedrooms are more likely to be overweight than those who do not, a study by University College London scientists suggests.

Mr Rosales, who stood against Hugo Chavez in 2006, was arrested over corruption charges in October 2015 after returning from exile in Peru.
The activists were arrested in 2014, during protests calling for the removal of President Nicolas Maduro from power.
Opposition leaders say about 100 opposition activists remain in prison.
What is behind the crisis in Venezuela?
Opposition groups named the released activists as Skarlyn Duarte, Yeimi Varela, Nixon Leal, Angel Contreras and Gerardo Carrero, the AFP news agency reported.
Mr Carrero led a group of anti-government protesters who camped for weeks outside the UN offices in Caracas, Venezuela's capital.
Mr Rosales, of the small Nuevo Tiempo party, announced his release from house arrest on his Twitter account:
"I inform you the people of Venezuela, that I have been released along with other political prisoners," he posted in Spanish.
"We continue in the struggle for the release of all political prisoners and the return of the exiles," he added.
Mr Rosales, a former governor of the state of Zulia, fled to Peru in 2009 amid corruption allegations, which he said were politically motivated.
He was moved from prison to house arrest in October.
Venezuela is struggling with a serious economic crisis, which the opposition blames on failed socialist policies of Mr Chavez and his successor, Mr Maduro.
Dissident leaders had demanded the release of Mr Rosales, and freedom for other opposition leaders, during negotiations with the government. | The authorities in Venezuela have freed the former presidential candidate Manuel Rosales, along with five student activists held since 2014. | 38,479,190 | 336 | 24 | false |
Some people confide in friends or family, while others express their emotions through other means.
Sixteen-year-old Odhran Bartley is dealing with his personal grief through music.
Odhran was only seven years old when, in 2007, his dad unexpectedly died in his sleep at the age of 39.
At the time Odhran says he wasn't ready to talk about his feelings.
"I had my mum to talk to, but I didn't really want to talk about it with anyone. I wanted to put it out there in music. I think emotion comes out best that way.
"I started rapping when I was nine, but only started writing my own material this year.
"It's a way to tell my stories and express my emotions."
The first song Odhran wrote, called I can't forget you, was based on his dad's passing.
"It was emotional writing it. I was really sad at the time but I wanted to let people know what I had to say.
"Sometimes I feel sad when I perform it, but I think it's good that I do perform it as people who have gone through similar things can relate to it".
Odhran's mum, Anthea, says she had no idea that her son was such a talented musician.
"I really was surprised that he wrote about his dad's death because even though he had talked to me about his dad dying, he hadn't talked that much about it.
"When I heard the song, I could see that he was using it as a way to talk about his emotions and to keep him going".
Having lived without his dad for nine years, Odhran says the best thing others in his position can do is "keep your head up and try to keep going".
Officers raided Garlands on 12 February while 200 people were inside. Drugs were found on the premises and it was shut down.
The council had ruled the club could reopen provided it followed new strict conditions, which have been met.
These included new door staff and security and a new drugs policy.
More than 2,500 people had signed an online petition calling for the club to be saved.
Garlands co-owner John Cummings said: "In society today, people use drugs. You have to do your best to stop them taking drugs in your premises.
"I wasn't surprised they found drugs because you'd probably find them in most places. But I'm glad now we have got these new conditions to enable us to try and stop them as much as we can."
Liverpool City Council's licensing committee had allowed the club to reopen, but with certain conditions that included:
The club has changed the security firm, upgraded CCTV provided a drugs amnesty box and introduced ID scans on the door.
UV lights have been installed at the entrance of the unisex toilets, which police had described earlier as a "sweet shop for drugs".
The toilets have also been separated into single-sex toilets.
Christine Banks, chair of the licensing committee said: "Don't come back to the table with any of those conditions broken because we won't be lenient.
"They are there for the protection of the public from harm. We're here to say no not acceptable and your licence could be revoked."

Seluk added: "We have arranged with the Manchester Evening News to help us get the money to the people who really need it.
"We don't want to send it somewhere and nobody knows where it will end up - we want to make sure it goes to people for whom every penny helps.
"I think it will take a few days to organise it, but Yaya is in England and can come and present the cheque whenever it is needed.
"Yaya loves Manchester and has a big affinity with the city and its people.
"This fund is a chance for us to get the money to the right people, which is very important."
The Palestinian Authority had begun establishing institutions for a future state, but the economy was not strong enough to support it, a report warned.
It was critical to increase trade and spur private sector growth, it added.
The PA said last month it was facing a funding crisis, with debts of $1.5bn (£968m) and a cash shortfall of $500m.
The admission that civil servants would not be paid in July led some Palestinians to demand the dismantling of the PA, which was established under the 1994 Oslo Accords.
The World Bank said donor countries had propped up the Palestinian economy by giving the PA billions of dollars in aid, helping it achieve a 7.7% increase in GDP between 2007 and 2011.
But the report said the growth had only occurred in government services, real estate and other non-tradable sectors. The manufacturing and agriculture sectors had shrunk, and aid levels had begun to fall because of the global economic downturn, it noted.
"The Palestinian Authority has made steady progress in many years towards establishing the institutions required by a future state but the economy is currently not strong enough to support such a state," said the author of the report, economist John Nasir.
"Economic sustainability cannot be based on foreign aid so it is critical for the PA to increase trade and spur private sector growth," he added.
The report also said the security restrictions imposed by the Israeli government continued to stymie investment, but there was little that could be done about them until there was a peace agreement. Direct talks have been suspended since September 2010.
"However, there are a number of areas where the PA can focus its attention to not only improve current performance, but to lay the groundwork for a future state," it said.
"A future Palestinian state should seek to emulate Asian countries that have managed to sustain high levels of economic growth by adopting an outward orientation and integrating into world supply chains."
Nearly 40,000 people donated almost NZ$2.3m (£1m, $1.5m) to buy the Awaroa beach in the Abel Tasman National Park, on the north coast of South Island, which went on sale last year.
Campaigners said the government and another major donor also contributed.
The project was launched after a group of friends vowed to secure the beach for public use.
The current owner - businessman Michael Spackman - agreed to sell them the beach following four days of negotiations after the crowdfunding campaign reached its target in just over three weeks, local website Stuff reported.
"We've been through the wringer to get it and that's a shared experience that forms friendships," campaigner Duane Major told supporters.
"Now we hope people have shared experiences of this beautiful piece of pristine serene NZ beach and bush."
New Zealand's Conservation Minister Maggie Barry said the government had made a modest but vital contribution towards the purchase, Stuff reported.
Ms Barry said she hoped the project would set a precedent for future projects.
But another offer to contribute by a businessman and philanthropist, who said he would make up any shortfall in exchange for exclusive access to part of the beach for his family, was rejected.
The campaign also negotiated with local Maori groups, who argued the beach should be handed over to them.
The land - marketed as "a remarkable seven-hectare utopia" - will now be included in a state-managed national park along with other bits of land bought by the government, Ms Barry said.
Mr Major admitted the seven-hectare beach, which also offers access by air via a nearby air strip, was not that easy to get to, but said that in the future "hard to get to places are going to be harder to find".
He said the decision to launch the campaign had been a matter of "gut instinct".
"The land we share is the ground we stand on and it's very closely linked to our identity," he said.
She has brought back proper Cabinet government with formal committees, and is reinstituting a more structured way of developing ideas using Green Papers, White Papers, and then finally, legislation.
It's a more cumbersome way of bringing in policy, but in theory, a smoother one that produces better government in the end.
Produce a Green Paper - a first draft if you like - then a second, better draft, the White Paper, with the wrinkles almost gone. Then, finally, a bill that sails through Parliament, its rougher edges smoothed, and conveniently, political opposition having faded away - or at least argued out over the process.
But when it comes to the government's biggest challenge, untangling ourselves from the European Union, ministers seem much less clear about what the procedure really is, facing pressure from MPs of almost every political persuasion - Labour, the SNP, and the Liberal Democrats all today pushing for more say, and for ministers to fill in more of the blanks about what they actually intend to do.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP are all now calling for a vote on the basic terms of the negotiations before the PM triggers the legal process by the end of March.
Right now, the government is resisting those calls. There is an expectation that there will ultimately be votes on the agreement - with the prime minister's "Great Repeal Bill" and at the end of the process, on the ultimate deal.
But that is a long time away and, for many MPs, simply not good enough, when the process of negotiations will shape our relationship with the rest of the world for years to come.
And with no votes any time soon, there is also - so far - nothing on paper, nothing that fits into the prime minister's chosen template of Green Papers, White Papers, and then ultimately legislation.
But what if that was the plan? In recent days sources have told the BBC that the government was planning to produce a Green Paper this autumn with the broad outlines of its Brexit objectives.
One source said "we were told there would be one in October", and that the financial sector had been asked to provide "a data dump and a shopping list" by the end of last month in order to facilitate the process.
Another source said they had been briefed by officials from Numbers 10 and 11 that the Green Paper "was expected late September".
One City insider said "it was a serious idea" but that it had now been "dropped". As another source described it: "It's gone away - the only thing they agree on is so high level that there would only be one page...I'm not sure that there is a coherent plan."
It's also been suggested that the government changed its mind about having a Green Paper because ministers don't want to be a hostage to anything they say now, before the full negotiations begin.
The prime minister has made it plain, having given a deadline for the legal process to begin, that she is not willing to give, as we're becoming familiar with hearing, a "running commentary".
And according to Number 10 however, it's not the case that the Green Paper was ever part of the plan - one source described it as "tosh".
And officials at the two new Brexit departments say they are not aware of the idea, although one Cabinet minister is understood to be pushing Downing Street to give them permission to produce their own Green Paper for their department on its plans for Brexit.
But opposition politicians, some Tory backbenchers, business and most importantly the public, are looking to Number 10 for any guidance about what they plan to achieve - and where it is not forthcoming, there is a vacuum that others will fill.
A 19-year-old woman claimed to have been attacked in Aberdeen's Bon Accord Gardens early on Tuesday morning.
Part of the park was closed off as officers carried out investigations at the scene after the incident was reported.
A 25-year-old man was charged and had been due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court but was subsequently released.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal at Aberdeen received a report concerning a 25-year-old man.
"After full and careful consideration of the report, the accused was liberated from custody and did not appear in court.
"The case remains under consideration by the procurator fiscal."
The body's normal defences struggle to clear the body of HIV and cancer.
But the rapidly emerging field of immunotherapy has seen some patients with terminal cancer go into complete remission.
The hope is that a similar approach could clear someone of HIV, although some experts have urged caution.
HIV treatment requires daily antiretroviral drugs to kill any active virus. Left unchecked, HIV can destroy the immune system, causing Aids.
A cure is currently impossible because drugs and the immune system fail to detect the sleeping or "latent" HIV hiding in the body's cells.
Nobel Prize winner and co-discoverer of HIV, Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, told the BBC: "One of the mechanisms why [latently infected cells] persist is the fact they are proliferating very similar to tumour cells.
"Those cells are expressing molecules that are the same molecules that are expressed on tumour cells.
"So that raises the question whether we could develop a strategy for HIV-cure similar to the novel treatment in the field of cancer."
She is one of the scientists attending the HIV and Cancer Cure Forum in Paris.
Prof Sharon Lewin, the director of the Doherty Institute in Australia, agrees there is much to learn from cancer.
She said: "There are a lot of parallels… I think it's huge."
Cancers evolve tricks to survive an assault by the immune system.
They can produce proteins on their surface, such as PD-L1, which disable immune cells attacking the tumour.
A new class of immunotherapy drugs called "checkpoint inhibitors" allow the immune system to keep on fighting and the results have been remarkable.
In one trial, a fifth of patients with terminal melanoma had no sign of the disease after immunotherapy.
However, only about 50 people with HIV have been given immunotherapy to treat their cancer.
So there is little evidence of immunotherapy drugs and their effect on HIV.
Prof Lewin has starting doing the research in the laboratory and thinks immunotherapy drugs could reinvigorate an immune system that has become tired of fighting HIV.
She said: "The parts of the immune system that recognise HIV are often exhausted T-cells, they express immune checkpoint markers.
"In the laboratory, if you then put those cells in with an immune checkpoint blocker, the T-cells do regain function."
She said there was emerging evidence that the drugs also activated HIV lying dormant inside immune cells.
Prof Lewin said: "We want the virus to wake up, any virus that wakes up gets killed [by antiretroviral drugs]."
However this is a new concept in HIV that has so far delivered nothing for patients.
And there are important differences between the challenges of cancer and HIV immunology.
In cancer, the immune system can recognise the threat but is not powerful enough to do anything about it, but the immune system does not recognise latently infected HIV cells at all.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the area is "very hot" right now in cancer.
But he cautioned: "We have to be careful we don't assume that things that work in cancer are going to work in HIV.
"HIV is so different, that even though it's worth exploring, I wouldn't want people to think this is going to be equally successful in HIV."

Women from all over Punjab have travelled to the capital to seek help from Amanjot Kaur Ramoowalia - the head of a charity for women abandoned by their foreign-national husbands.
Ms Ramoowalia estimates there are more than 15,000 women across the state, who are in this situation.
She sees around 15 abandoned wives a month and says the numbers are increasing.
"I see a lot of beautiful, educated women. They are in a mess," she told BBC Inside Out.
"They are ashamed to live in a society as an abandoned wife. I believe this is a big violation of human rights."
Their husbands come from all over the world, but mainly countries with a large South Asian diaspora, like the UK, the US and Canada.
The women agree to the marriages in the hope of embarking on a better life abroad.
But for many of their grooms, the motivation is money rather than love.
A third of the men are believed to be from Britain.
Ms Ramoowalia said: "He (the groom) comes here and he asks for a massive dowry.
"They marry. He takes the money and enjoys the honeymoon. Then he never comes back."
In India, it is customary for the bride's family to give money or gifts to the groom, despite the practice being outlawed in 1961. The dowries often amount to tens of thousands of pounds.
One of the women at the secret meeting has travelled from a rural village on the outskirts of Punjab.
Kamaljit Kaur married a man from Italy three years ago. But just months after their wedding, he left her.
She was pregnant with his child at the time.
"Soon after we got married…he started complaining about the dowry. He said my family isn't happy with you."
You can watch Outcast Wives: An Inside Out Special on BBC One London, Monday at 19:30 GMT.
It will also be broadcast on BBC World on 4 March will be available on the iPlayer for 30 days.
Kamaljit's husband eventually left the family home and returned to Italy. She hasn't seen him since.
Their baby daughter was born with serious health problems - but her in-laws refused to help.
"They said the baby is born disabled. We don't want anything to do with her. Our relations are over."
Sadly, Kamaljit's baby died months later. Her husband did not contact her.
Divorcing a foreign national in India is an extremely complex and expensive process.
Often the women's families are also adversely affected.
Darshan's daughter got married back in 1997, but they're still waiting for closure.
"He didn't say anything until he was leaving. He said I'm married abroad. I have a son and a daughter so I can't take your daughter. Do whatever you want.
"We took legal action. I've been trapped in this mess for 16 years."
Daljit Kaur is a lawyer for the Non-Resident Indian Commission of Punjab, which deals with legal cases against foreign nationals.
She said: "Our legal system is a bit slow and it will take years to get a decision.
"There are a number of difficulties… and moreover these girls don't have the money to pay for the legal system."
Back under the baking sun of Chandigarh, Amonjot Kaur Ramoowalia is giving advice to dozens of women in this exact situation.
But the assistance she can offer is limited. Whilst abandonment is considered a crime in India, once a foreign national leaves the jurisdiction it's extremely difficult to prosecute him.
She says some of the stories she hears are utterly appalling.
"One girl got married. He raped her in a systematic way and left her with a child. There's no strong law you can follow.
"She had to live the rest of her life, with the shame of being an abandoned wife."
Ms Ramoowalia says other countries should be aware of the actions of their citizens and co-operate with the Indian government in holding them accountable.
In the meantime, the abandoned wives of India face a life in limbo.
The carrier, Ob River, left Norway in November and has sailed north of Russia on its way to Japan.
The specially equipped tanker is due to arrive in early December and will shave 20 days off the journey.
The owners say that changing climate conditions and a volatile gas market make the Arctic transit profitable.
Built in 2007 with a strengthened hull, the Ob River can carry up to 150,000 cubic metres of gas. The tanker was loaded with LNG at Hammerfest in the north of Norway on 7 November and set sail across the Barents Sea. It has been accompanied by a Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker for much of its voyage.
The ship, with an international crew of 40, has been chartered from its Greek owners Dynagas by the Russian Gazprom energy giant. It says it has been preparing for the trip for over a year.
"It's an extraordinarily interesting adventure," Tony Lauritzen, commercial director at Dynagas, told BBC News.
"The people on board have been seeing polar bears on the route. We've had the plans for a long time and everything has gone well."
Mr Lauritzen says that a key factor in the decision to use the northern route was the recent scientific record on melting in the Arctic.
"We have studied lots of observation data - there is an observable trend that the ice conditions are becoming more and more favourable for transiting this route. You are able to reach a highly profitable market by saving 40% of the distance, that's 40% less fuel used as well."
But melting ice is not the only factor. A major element is the emergence of shale gas in the US.
The Norwegian LNG plant at Hammerfest was developed with exports to the US in mind. But the rapid uptake of shale in America has curbed the demand for imported gas.
Meanwhile in Japan, in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, there has been a growing interest in alternative power sources, especially gas.
"The major point about gas is that it now goes east and not west," says Gunnar Sander, senior adviser at the Norwegian Polar Institute and an expert on how climate change impacts economic activity in the Arctic.
"The shale gas revolution has turned the market upside down; that plus the rapid melting of the polar ice."
He stresses that the changes in climate are less important than the growing demand for oil and gas.
"The major driver is the export of resources from the Arctic region, not the fact that you can transit across the Arctic sea."
There is an expectation that because of changing climactic conditions, sea traffic across the northern sea route will increase rapidly. 2012 has been a record year both for the length of the sailing season and also for the amount of cargo that has been shipped.
But Gunnar Sander says there are limits to the growth and some perspective is required.
"Nineteen thousand ships went through the Suez canal last year; around 40 went through the northern sea route. There's a huge difference."

The 72-year-old star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films reported engine failure and crash-landed his vintage plane on a Venice golf course.
He was breathing and alert when medics arrived and took him to hospital in a "fair to moderate" condition, a fire department spokesman said.
His son Ben, a chef in Los Angeles, later tweeted from the hospital: "Dad is OK. Battered but OK!
His publicist said: "The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery,"
The nature of Ford's injuries have not been disclosed but website TMZ, which first reported the story, said he suffered "multiple gashes to his head".
Shortly after take-off from Santa Monica Airport, he said he was having engine failure with his 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR and was making an "immediate return".
He was unable to reach the runway and landed on the Penmar Golf Course, where onlookers pulled him from the plane fearing it could explode.
Officials said the plane had been flying at about 3,000 feet (900m) and hit a tree on the way down.
"It just sounded like a car hitting the ground or a tree or something," Jeff Kuprycz, who was playing golf told the Associated Press news agency. "He ended up crashing around the eighth hole."
Christian Fry of the Santa Monica Airport Association said it was "an absolutely beautifully executed emergency landing by an unbelievably well-trained pilot".
Film producer Ryan Kavanaugh, who also witnessed the accident from his office, told The Hollywood Reporter: "He literally had five seconds, and 99% of pilots would have turned around to go back to the runway and would have crashed."
"Harrison did what the best pilots in the world would do," he continued. "He made the correct turn that the plane was designed for with an engine out."
After crash-landing, Ford was initially treated by doctors who happened to be at the golf course.
Later this year, Ford is reprising his role of Han Solo in the latest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
He broke his leg in June last year on set at Pinewood Studios while filming a scene involving a door on the Millennium Falcon spaceship.
Ford took up flying when he was in his 50s and is also trained to fly helicopters.
In 1999, Ford crash-landed his helicopter during a training flight in Los Angeles but both he and the instructor were unhurt.
A year later a plane he was flying had to make an emergency landing in Nebraska. Again he and his passenger escaped unhurt.

GB lost the second quarter 27-2 but won the third 23-7, then saw their comeback stall in the last three minutes.
Kyle Johnson and Gabe Olaseni top-scored for GB with 13 points, while Ben Gordon and Kieron Achara added 11.
This weekend's games are GB's last before starting their EuroBasket qualifying campaign in Hungary.
With Olympians Dan Clark and Andrew Lawrence watching from the sidelines, GB coach Joe Prunty's side struggled after making a bright start in the first quarter.
GB play the the Dutch again in another friendly on Saturday, before facing Hungary in their first EuroBasket qualifier on Wednesday.
Both Clark and Lawrence are likely to return for the second game and will be among the squad that will travel to Hungary.
The former Labour minister said Mr Miliband had an "unenviable job" but was "doing well in the circumstances".
He warned Labour against indulging in "too much business and bank bashing".
But he also said he was concerned about wealth inequalities and would not repeat a 1998 comment about it being fine for people to be "filthy rich".
Lord Mandelson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Labour - in keeping with other left of centre parties in Europe - was having a tough time responding to the debt crisis.
"I think what has happened, in the main, is that the right wing have been better at handling the rhetoric of austerity, cutting back and deficit reduction which is broadly speaking where the public have been...
"There has been a marrying up of right-wing rhetoric and what the public thinks is necessary."
Although public support for austerity might not be sustainable, he said centre-left parties had to rebut the charge that they had been "profligate" and "wasteful" in the past.
"The centre-left have to fight back. But not by reverting to the old arguments about state control and intervention and not, in my view, by employing too much of the new rhetoric on the left of business and bank bashing.
"I don't think that is really going to get them anywhere at all."
Lord Mandelson dismissed questions about Mr Miliband's leadership, saying he found such talk "tedious and boring", but suggested the opposition leader faced a major challenge.
"Ed Miliband is struggling with two things... and they are not easy," he added. "In making an argument opposing what the government is doing in fighting the recession, he is also struggling with his own inherited legacy from the previous Labour government and they are not doing that either easily or finely, nor is it simple to do.
"And at exactly the same time, he is struggling to invent a new left-of-centre political paradigm that is not New Labour but takes lessons and experiences from the last 15 years... which revisits the issues to do with markets and inequalities and responsible capitalism to invent a new left-of-centre politics for the 21st Century.
"He is trying to do these things simultaneously... at a time when not very many people are giving him the benefit of the doubt. It is a rather unenviable job which I think he is doing well in the circumstances but it is not easy."
Lord Mandelson said he was "much more concerned" about widening inequalities than he had been in the past since it was clear globalisation was not delivering the economic benefits that politicians "took for granted" in the 1990s.
In the early days of the first Blair government, Lord Mandelson attracted headlines when he said that he was "intensely relaxed" about people getting "filthy rich" as long as they paid their taxes.
Asked about these remarks, he suggested they had been "spontaneous" and "unthought off", and said they were made in the context of a conversation with an American businessman who wanted to invest in the UK but who had questioned Labour's past hostility to financial markets and wealth creation.
But he added: "I don't think I would say that now. Why? Because, among other things, we have seen that globalisation has not generated the rising incomes for all, the benefits from globalisation that should come from rising prosperity and living standards... that we assumed globalisation would drive.
"We have learnt that markets, while indispensable to global growth, can become volatile and unstable and have to be managed and regulated and that globalisation is also generating income inequalities within and between countries that we simply cannot and should not live with."
Lord Mandelson, who has contributed to a study by the IPPR think tank on the impact of globalisation, stood down from front line politics after the 2010 general election.
Romantics and those without a vested interest have visions of Brazil and Argentina meeting in Rio's Maracana in the final on 13 July - with iconic number 10s Neymar and Lionel Messi fighting for the right to bring glory to their country.
And as the last-16 games begin, the time has come for all those left to study the routes they may have to navigate to reach that final destination.
England and Italy may have fallen by the wayside but there is still a strong European presence in the shape of the Netherlands - so exciting under new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal - Germany, France and those dark horses of Belgium, built around their emerging "golden generation" under the stewardship of coach Marc Wilmots.

The Americas have a strong representation as they take up half of the final places, and the odds are still against a team from Europe defying history and winning here in South America.
On the evidence so far - Manaus apart - there is nothing in the climatic conditions to suggest this is an impossible task and the Dutch, in particular, can emerge as serious contenders if the old imponderable of team spirit can be maintained.
In Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben, they have had arguably the standout performer of the early stages, certainly someone who can stand comfortably alongside Neymar and Messi as the World Cup moves up a gear.
The way forward is laid out in front and Brazil and Argentina may view the maps with contrasting emotions if they are to take part in that grand conclusion in front of the watching world.
Brazil are in the top half of the draw, that has a distinctly South American flavour, whereas Argentina may feel they have the slightly less hazardous task to progress.
If there are dark horses, it may be worth looking towards the Netherlands; losing finalists to Spain in South Africa four years ago but seemingly more fluid and united under the charismatic Van Gaal
Luiz Felipe Scolari's attempt to secure his place in Brazil's sporting history by winning a second World Cup has been built on the foundations of Neymar, who has lived up to national expectations, but may flounder on a somewhat less impressive defence.
Chile, inspired by Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez, will provide the toughest test so far for the hosts and, even if they are successful, Brazil will have to overcome another familiar opponent in either Colombia or Uruguay - now robbed of their greatest performer Luis Suarez - in the Maracana next Saturday.
In the same half of the draw, France have looked impressive, despite only qualifying for the finals through the play-offs.
An old football rivalry could be revisited in the last eight if they overcome Nigeria and Germany beat Algeria, who qualified for the last 16 amid such joyous scenes with a draw against Fabio Capello's Russia.
Germany have looked ominous as ever, particularly in disposing of Portugal 4-0, but the French may just fancy their chances of scoring goals after watching that wonderfully open 2-2 draw between the Germans and Ghana, which may have been the World Cup's finest game so far.
With each of those teams cluttered in the top half of the draw, Alex Sabella's Argentina may just be the one side everyone fears.
They will be strong favourites to overcome Switzerland, before a potential last-eight meeting with either Belgium or the United States, whose performances have captured the imagination of their nation in a way they have never done before.
A look into the crystal ball throws up the enticing prospect of two South America v Europe semi-finals, with the possibility of Brazil facing Germany and Argentina confronting the Netherlands.
The idea of Brazil not reaching the final at home is unthinkable. The 1950 World Cup final loss to Uruguay at the Maracana is still a black-bordered day in this country's history, even beyond the sporting context.
Brazil are a team that thrives on momentum, as they showed in winning the Confederations Cup here last summer, but the test will truly come as they face better opposition and the expectation and pressure grows in a country with a fevered and uniquely demanding football following.
They must still be favourites but, if there are dark horses, then it may be worth looking towards the Netherlands; losing finalists to Spain in South Africa four years ago but seemingly more fluid and united under the charismatic Van Gaal.
For all his reputation as a dictator, the Dutch coach looks to have formed a close bond with his players and - perhaps even more significantly - they look to have formed a bond with each other.
Robben has been inspirational and Robin van Persie's contender for goal of the World Cup so far - that athletic lofted header in the 5-1 thrashing of deposed champions Spain - will have whetted Dutch appetites for the rest of the campaign as well as those at Old Trafford for next season.
Events in Brazil so far, the shame of Suarez apart, have provided a thrilling spectacle. As anticipation increases for a round of 16 that is laced with quality games, the best may yet be to come.

Katie Leong, 52, was described to Leicester Crown Court as "fixated" with acid attacks and "very jealous".
Daniel Rotariu, 31, was blinded and suffered burns to a third of his body following the attack at their home in Turner Road, Leicester, on 26 July.
Jurors cleared Leong's ex-partner, Mark Cummings, of attempted murder. She must serve a minimum of 17 years in prison.
During the trial, Mr Rotariu said he began his relationship with Leong in December 2015.
He said the couple argued frequently and recounted how she forced him to delete Facebook from his phone in an act of jealousy and wanted him to get a tattoo of her name to prove his love.
Jurors were told that on the day of the attack, he had argued with Leong during the day and went to bed at about 20:00, only to be woken in the middle of the night by a "burning" feeling.
Mr Rotariu said he saw a "silhouette" in the room before he lost his sight, but was unsure who the person was.
Mr Cummings, 46, admitted being in the house on the night of the attack but was hiding in Leong's room because he was not supposed to be there, the court was told.
He said he bought two containers of sulphuric acid at 96% concentration for Leong, despite her "fixation" with acid attacks, because he believed it was for a jewellery cleaning business.
He described himself to the jury as "a puppet on a string" and said he did whatever Leong asked, including having her name tattooed over his neck, ring finger and heart in a bid to prove his affections for her.
Following sentencing, Det Ch Insp Rich Ward, from Leicestershire Police, paid tribute to the victim's "strength and resilience", saying it was "remarkable" he survived the "utterly wicked" attack.
"It is hard to adequately describe the horror and brutality of what was done to him. It is equally hard to accept the chilling lack of concern for him since then," he said.
"Leong has not shown any remorse - let alone humanity - for what she did."
Angela Clark, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said evidence recovered from the scene "clearly showed" Ms Leong was the one who "planned and implemented the attack fully intending to kill".
"In order to avoid being blamed for the attack, Leong attempted to incriminate Mark Cummings, who wanted more than anything to resume their relationship," she said.
"However, our case was that she was the driving force behind the attack and the jury decided that Mark Cummings was acting under her controlling influence, so was not guilty of attempted murder."
Stephen Flynn triumphed in Kincorth, Nigg and Cove to replace Callum McCaig, who is now the SNP MP for Aberdeen South.

Villa's seven-game unbeaten run since Bruce took charge in October has lifted them to 11th in the Championship, just four points from the play-off zone.
"There'll be a few looking over their shoulders, which is good," said Bruce.
"But there is a big expectation. You have to be a big player and a good player to handle that expectation."
Following the win against Cardiff City, their third in a row at home, Bruce told BBC Sport: "We've done very little yet. There's a long way to go. But, quietly, with a few results, we're doing ok.
"This club's had a hammering over the last 18 months, but it's vitally important to see that bit of confidence coming through.
"We're still a 'work in progress' but there's been a huge improvement in seven weeks and we're now finding a way to win.
"With players like Albert Adomah, Jonathan Kodjia, Rudy Gestede and Jordan Ayew, we're showing a little bit of quality at the top end."
Bruce has told his players that if they keep producing the goods, there may be no need for him to strengthen in January, even though he has the green light to do so,
"If there's somebody out there who can make a difference I'm in a position where I can act," he added. "But I've told the players 'You're in the box seat'."
Bruce's men face another stern examination of their credentials over the next month as Villa face three of their next four games away from home.
After Saturday's visit to fifth-placed Leeds United, they then host Bruce's old club Wigan Athletic before two away trips in four days to another of his former clubs, Norwich City, then QPR.
Former Villa striker Chris Sutton has backed Bruce to get the club promoted this season.
"They've got momentum," the former Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Celtic and England striker, briefly one of Bruce's players at Birmingham City in 2006, prior to then joining Villa, told BBC Five Live's Monday night show.
"I think they will go up. He was a brilliant appointment. He's a brilliant manager. He's been around and proved himself. In fact, he should have been given a job at the top end of the end of the Premier League."
Dr Laith AlRubaiy has been made Young Gastroenterologist of the Year 2017 by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG).
The 37-year-old from Iraq has lived in Wales for the past 10 years, working in Bangor, Swansea, Llanelli and Merthyr Tydfil.
He said he was "very protective" of the NHS in Wales.
And he hopes the award will "highlight the positive contribution of overseas doctors in the NHS".
Dr AlRubaiy, who works at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, graduated from Basra School of medicine in 2003 and worked in Iraq until 2005.
"There's so much instability [in Iraq]. Most of the cases were the aftermath of the war," he said.
"And there's lots of infectious disease, a lot of explosions, terrorist related, car accidents and tribal fighting. People wait months and months for surgery.
"There's no 999 service in Iraq. If [patients] are far from the hospital and they are bleeding... a lot of them arrive dead at the hospital."
He said a lack of resources and structured healthcare in his home country meant the mortality rate was "very high".
And there is "corruption on every single level of the health sector", he claimed.
He added: "There's no shortage of doctors in Iraq, there are plenty, it's a lack of infrastructure and nursing staff."
His wife, a London-born pharmacist of Iraqi heritage, and two children have never visited Iraq but he visits family in Basra: "I go by myself... they are scared and I am scared."
He also visited Kurdistan in 2013 to train doctors.
His time working as a doctor in his home country has given him a unique perspective on healthcare in Wales: "I'm very protective of the health system here. I think it's a blessing to have such good healthcare where everyone has treatment for free.
"It's not perfect but its not too far from perfect. If I give healthcare in Iraq two out of 10 I would give here nine out of 10."
And he said Cardiff "definitely has some of the best patients I've dealt with".
"It's a young city and you see a lot of students [who are] very educated, open-minded and very accepting of foreign doctors. They appreciate the work you are doing."
Last year, on 25 April, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, leaving more than 8,000 people dead and many thousands homeless. A large number of aftershocks followed, including one that measured 7.3 on 12 May 2015. Photographer Alison Baskerville travelled to Nepal with Handicap International UK to meet young people whose lives were changed forever by those events.
Uma Silwal (right) was at home with her family when the earthquake hit.
"We were sitting having lunch and the ground started to shake," she says. "At first we just froze, we had no idea what to do. Then we ran. I don't remember the wall landing on me. I just remember seeing everyone running ahead in front of me."
At the time of the earthquake Uma was studying engineering. Her father had just retired from a long career in the Nepalese Fire Service and was adjusting to life at home with a reduced income.
"I knew I had to get educated and find work so I could help support my family," Uma says.
The earthquake destroyed their home. As well as looking after her family, Uma's mother has been involved in rebuilding their house, and feeding the workers.
"My mother does so much," says Uma. "Sometimes I worry that we take her for granted. She is the closest person to me and keeps our family together."
Uma later decided to change her degree to social work. "I had a few choices ahead of me before the earthquake. It felt like with two legs I have two paths to take.
"After the quake I only have one leg but it's also given me one clear path. To help those who are like me."
Amrit Magar was sleeping in his room in the Pepsicola district of Kathmandu when the earthquake hit.
With both parents at work he was home alone and unsure what to do. He tried to run from the house but as he escaped the building collapsed and he was buried in rubble.
Neighbours managed to pulled him free and he was taken to hospital.
"When the wall fell I was unconscious. When I woke up I thought my legs were fine," he says.
But Amrit remained in a fracture ward until the decision was made to remove one of his legs because it was so badly damaged.
"I loved football before my accident but now I like to read and I want to go back to school," says Amrit.
His father says they can no longer keep Amrit at home as they cannot afford the taxi fares for him to go to the local clinic.
Amrit's brother Amish (middle) spent four weeks by his side in hospital.
His mother, Chandra Kala Magar, holds a family photograph that was recovered from the home. They now live in a temporary home built by the family's employer.
Ramesh Khatri, then 18, was trapped under rubble for almost three days. When he was eventually pulled free he was rushed to the already overcrowded Bir hospital in Kathmandu. He kept his badly damaged legs for almost five days before doctors decided they should both be amputated.
"I just had to accept this new life I have been given without my legs. It has not been easy but I'm really trying to start again and adapt to my new life," he says.
Ramesh uses the walkway at the National Disability Fund clinic in Kathmandu to train on his prosthetics.
Although he has become highly skilled in his wheelchair, he is now focusing on his walking.
A few days after breaking his third wheelchair, Ramesh decided to take part in a 3km race in the city.
With bloodied hands and sweat on his brow, Ramesh pushed himself to sixth place out of 21. "Next year I'm going to win this race," he shouted as he received his finishing medal.
"He is ever the optimist," says Samrat Singh Basnet, the owner of the hostel where Ramesh lives. "He's always there in the clinic, helping and encouraging people."
"I want to study first and then I want to be a social worker to help other people like me," says Ramesh. "Whatever happened, happened. This is our future. We should start from here. We can start again even with our disability."
Sandesh was on his lunch break at the Nepal Police School when the earth began to shake. Along with his classmates he fled from the room where they were.
But the outside wall collapsed on top of him, pinning him to the ground.
"We were going to hide under the beds but then we decided to run," says Sandesh. "Then the wall fell down on me. I was unconscious until I got to hospital."
He too lost his legs because of the injuries he sustained. In hospital, he also received the terrible news that his best friend had been killed.
After almost nine months at home Sandesh has now returned to the police school.
He is the only student with a disability and the school have tried their best to accommodate him. But there is a steep slope between the classrooms and accommodation blocks, which makes it difficult for Sandesh to move between the two areas. He stays in the classroom area throughout the school day.
During his time in hospital he says he lost motivation and found it difficult to accept his condition. With help from therapists and fellow patient Ramesh, he was able to come to terms with his disability.
He began using a wheelchair, later also using crutches, until he received his prosthetic legs. "I thought I would never walk again," he says. "When I stood up for the first time I was so happy."
Dr Peter Bennie, chair of the BMA's Scottish council, said publishing weekly performance figures for A&E wards "misses the point".
And he claimed the Scottish government had "bowed to pressure" on the issue.
The government said it agreed waiting times were not the only measures on which the NHS should be judged.
It has set an interim goal of treating 95% of accident and emergency patients within four hours, in advance of meeting the full target of 98%.
In March, it began publishing weekly figures showing whether each hospital A&E department was meeting the four-hour target.
Hospitals across the country have been struggling to achieve the interim target, with the latest figures showing 92.2% of patients were seen and subsequently admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours for the week ending 14 June.
Dr Bennie will tell the BMA's annual conference in Liverpool later ministers "bowed to pressure from opposition parties" when they began reporting weekly A&E activity.
He will say: "All this has served to do is feed an obsession amongst our media and politicians each week in the parliament. The publication of these weekly statistics completely misses the point and diverts attention from the real issues in our health service.
"The problems that exist within our hospitals extend far beyond the front door and we need to look at the whole patient journey. Are patients being admitted to the right wards, not boarded internally or miles away?
"Are they discharged when they're ready to go home and do they get the support they need to live at home and avoid unnecessary readmission?
"That is what is important. Not the weekly accusations flung across the parliament chamber as each party seeks to blame the other for the problems in the NHS."
He will add: "We need a rethink on targets in Scotland. If we are to continue with them, the targets must drive improved clinical outcomes for patients rather than an expensive obsession with reducing waiting times, irrespective of patients' best interests."
Dr Bennie is also to caution politicians against making "unfunded and unrealistic promises" about the health service in the run up to next May's Scottish Parliament elections.
In response to his comments Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "While the A&E target is clinically important and supported by clinicians, we completely agree with the BMA that it is far from the only measure on which our NHS should be judged.
"We are also in agreement that looking at the whole system of health and social care - not one part in isolation - is crucial.
"Indeed our plan for improving emergency and unscheduled care includes six essential actions that are focussed on preventing people who don't need to be in hospital ending up there, and then ensuring quick, efficient and effective services for patients arriving in hospital right through to their care on returning to the community.
"It is also why we are integrating health and social care - bringing the two services that care for people in Scotland closer together than ever before and investing £100m to tackle delayed discharge."
As a young, proud, super-fit marine, it is a life he never would have wanted.
Now in his 50s, all that is left of his adventurous past are the photographs on the wall.
Iain Wilson is in a vegetative state and relies on his mother Gabrielle for everything.
A former nurse, the diminutive 83-year-old wakes at 7.30am every day to begin a care regime which would challenge someone half her age.
She has not had a holiday for more than 21 years.
"I leave him in the bath about 20 minutes, take him out all dripping wet and helpless, put him onto the bed and dry him, and then I cut his nails," she says.
"I have to do his feeds and then, last thing at night, see he's alright, move him about and put cushions all around him to stop him getting bedsores.
"Then I have a last look at him at quarter to one in the morning, and if he's sleeping, I'm fine then and I go to sleep myself.
"If he's got a chest infection or anything wrong, I've got a baby alarm and I can hear him."
Iain is thought to be the longest surviving vegetative state patient in the UK, an unenviable record.
The former Royal Marine, who also served in the Foreign Legion, suffered severe brain injuries after being knocked over by a car in 1989.
The damage left him blind, incontinent and unable to move or communicate. He is fed through a tube in his chest.
Mrs Wilson would not want anyone else to care for her son, but after suffering a heart attack and conscious of her advancing years, her biggest worry is what will happen to her son when she dies.
"I think about it all the time. I just have to turn my mind off because it affects me so much," she says.
"He will not be looked after properly. I don't like to say it, but it's true.
"He'll lie there and suffer, unable to moan or groan or call for help and they won't notice.
"Picture yourself in that situation. It's awful."
This is just one of a number of heartbreaking dilemmas faced by the families of those left in a vegetative state.

It is difficult to find precise figures for the numbers affected, but experts believe there could be as many as 5,000 people in the UK enduring what has been described as a "living death".
And because of advances in medical science meaning that more people survive what would previously have been fatal injuries, the figures are set to continue to grow.
Expert clinicians have highlighted a number of concerns about the care of vegetative state patients and their families.
They believe some are being misdiagnosed as a result of inconsistencies in assessment across the country.
There is also evidence families are not routinely being told of all the options open to them.
Since 1992, following the landmark case of Hillsborough victim Tony Bland, it has been possible for an application to be made to the Court of Protection for permission to end a vegetative state patient's life by withdrawing food and hydration.
This is done under sedation to ensure the patient feels no pain or distress.
There have been a total of 43 applications since 1992, all of which have been granted.
Professor Derick Wade, consultant in neurological rehabilitation, believes it is crucial to inform families of this and all of the options open to them at every stage.
But he has told the BBC of cases where families have been kept in the dark for years because of the religious, cultural or moral beliefs of the clinicians involved.
"For some clinicians [the withdrawal of nutrition to allow a patient to die] is not morally acceptable. So they do not discuss the issue with the family."
This happened to 53-year-old Helen Watson from Leicestershire, whose sixteen-year-old son Christopher was severely injured in a road accident on his way back to boarding school in 2006.
The family only learned they could apply to the courts years afterwards when an expert was brought in to assess Christopher's accident compensation claim.
Professor Lynn Turner-Stokes is chair of the Royal College of Physicians working party which has been set up to review the issues around the diagnosis and care of vegetative patients.
She is concerned that even when families have made an informed decision to withdraw treatment and allow their loved-one to die, the court process involved can be beset with lengthy, yet easily avoidable, delays.
"I think it's very traumatic for the families, it's quite a long, drawn-out process.
"At the current time there is not a great deal of clarity about what the process should be, for example there isn't a clear protocol for what should have been done prior to approaching the court," she said.
"Personally I'd like to see some clarity about what the pathway is. I think it could help streamline things."
For Tudor David, 65, the delays involved in an application to the court to allow his wife Diane to die after a road accident left her in a vegetative state proved too much.
Initially told the court process would take six months, the family was still no closer to a decision from the court 18 months later.
Mr David's family believe he felt his wife had suffered enough. In December 2008 he took her out of hospital, parked their car in the garage of their home and left the engine running.
The devoted couple died together from carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of what a coroner referred to as an act "solely motivated by devotion and love".
The Royal College of Physicians' review began in May 2011, and is expected to last at least 18 months.
Professor Turner-Stokes hopes the team's work will ultimately help improve the process which the David family and others believe has let them down.

They were once the closest of friends, men whose families holidayed together and who shared tables at their children's school quizzes.
They are now political enemies locked in a battle which will shape not just the future of their country but which could terminate the career of the prime minister.
"I think it's very painful for everybody involved," says Danny, Lord Finkelstein, Times columnist and friend of Mr Cameron.
To the public, Boris Johnson may seem to be the face of the Leave campaign but in private Mr Gove is its brain.
It was his decision to split with the prime minister that transformed this referendum.
The writer Petronella Wyatt has known both men since they were in their 20s. She says that as the first senior Tory to come out for Brexit, Mr Gove stole a march on Johnson.
"That was a thunderbolt, tanks on Cameron's lawn."
Those tanks have been exchanging heavy artillery. Terms like "liars", "defeatists", "traitors" have come fast and furious. Not words normal people use about their friends but then, of course, politicians are not normal people.
Perhaps you may be thinking they are not really friends at all but you would be wrong.
"It's a deep friendship," says Steve Hilton, once Mr Cameron's closest adviser in Number 10.
"It's about spending time together with their families, with their children, going on holiday together and they love loads of things outside politics.
"In fact the friendship probably doesn't even derive from politics, it derives from something deeper than that."
Yet they are very different politically. David Laws, Mr Gove's former deputy at the education department, points to the difference between Cameron's small 'c' conservatism and Gove the capital 'R' radical.
"One Conservative MP I think described Michael as like a mixture of Jeeves and Che Guevara," he says.
"The man who had not only Margaret Thatcher's picture on his wall but also Lenin and Malcolm X."
Danny Finkelstein thinks their choices over the EU demonstrate their differing political instincts.
"It's a tiny crack between their ways of working and their political perspectives and, as is often the case, like a little chip in the windshield, it can crack," he says.
Crack it certainly has and, perhaps, Mr Gove always sensed that it might.
He sees himself less as a latter day revolutionary and more as a real world Tyrion Lannister from the fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Mr Gove once described his favourite Thrones character as "this misshapen dwarf, reviled throughout his life, thought in the eyes of some to be a toxic figure, can at last rally a small band of loyal followers".
Or was he - in reality - describing himself? A toxic figure, reviled, was precisely how Mr Gove came to be seen as education secretary. Precisely why he was sacked from the job by his "friend" the prime minister.
When Mr Gove was made chief whip, Mr Cameron, a fellow Game of Thrones fan, told him he would be the Hand of the King - in other words his closest adviser, his number two.
There was just one problem. We in the media were told Gove had been demoted, he was not a full member of Cabinet, he would take a salary cut.
Gove reacted on Radio 4, saying: "Demotion, emotion, promotion, locomotion, I don't know how you would describe this move, though move it is, all I would say is that it's a privilege to serve."
His wife - the Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, who is godmother to the Camerons' youngest daughter - was a little less coded.
She tweeted a link to an article by a fellow hack describing "a shabby day's work which Cameron will live to regret".
For Petronella Wyatt, the episode was a moment for Gove when David Cameron had stopped behaving like a friend and so stopped deserving that loyalty.
"I believe Cameron has been treating him a bit like an under-butler," she tells me.
For a long, long time before this referendum was called, Mr Gove insisted in private that he would not, could not, abandon his friend.
That is what he told a lunch organised by Rupert Murdoch's News UK. It led Murdoch to use Twitter and editorials in The Sun to urge the man he once employed to put loyalty to his principles first.
This is how Ms Vine wrote about his struggle: "Michael has been like a cat on a hot tin roof, locked in an internal struggle of agonising proportions... The PM was genuinely, and quite naturally, shocked and hurt."
It was a decision that did not just hurt Mr Cameron. It convinced Mr Johnson, the man who confessed he had been "veering all over the place like a shopping trolley" to veer towards Brexit.
It was a dinner with Mr Gove at Boris Johnson's house, which led Mr Johnson to finally declare for Leave.
It is a dinner that may have helped to seal the fate not just of Britain, but of Mr Cameron as well. Or could friends be reunited after next week's result?
Danny Finkelstein thinks that though their relationship will never be the same again, the old alliances will re-emerge more than most anticipate.
But, he adds, if the UK does vote to leave the EU, Mr Cameron will be gone as prime minister.
Anthony Seldon, historian of Downing Street and its occupants, notes of Mr Gove: "I don't think it's his governing desire to become prime minister.
"I think he is a very intellectually driven person and, as we've seen here over Brexit, it is the ideology that trumps the bonds of friendship that existed not just between the two men, but between their wives also."
In just seven days' time, the country will decide whether Gove trumps Cameron and which friend will win the battle of Britain.
It was "deeply concerning" that 5,789 overseas criminals were free in the UK, more than anytime since 2012, MPs said.
The top three nationalities among the offenders were Polish, Irish and Romanian - all EU nations - they said.
The Home Office said it deported record numbers of EU criminals last year.
However, the cross-party committee said progress has been "too slow".
The total number of foreign national offenders currently in the UK - both in detention and living in the community - was over 13,000, or "the size of a small town", it said.
MPs criticised the Home Office for consistently failing to remove convicts, despite their home nations being part of the 28-member bloc.
Polish criminals accounted for 983 offenders, while 764 were from Ireland, and 635 from Romania, their report said.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
The issue would undermine the public's confidence in the UK's immigration system, and faith in Britain's EU membership, they warned.
"The clear inefficiencies demonstrated by this process will lead the public to question the point of the UK remaining a member of the EU," the report said.
Home Secretary Theresa May was "unconvincing in suggesting that remaining a member of the EU will make it easier to remove these individuals from the UK", it said.
They called on the government to take urgent action to "significantly" reduce the 13,000 overall number of foreign convicts in the country.
Committee chairman Labour MP Keith Vaz told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There are two problems that seem to have confronted the Home Office. The first is the unwillingness of some countries to take their citizens back, but also I think it is the process that we have."
Mr Vaz suggested that foreign offenders should give up their passports when they are sentenced and that when they come out of prison the process of removing them from the country should start immediately.
"The public would expect our membership of the European Union to make it easier to deport European offenders, but this is clearly not the case, and we continue to keep thousands of these criminals at great and unnecessary expense," he said.
Mr Vaz also called on Commonwealth countries to "take their citizens back", saying there was a high number of foreign national offenders from Jamaica, Pakistan, Nigeria and India.
John Attard of the Prison Governors' Association also told the programme that it was up to the Border Agency to remove foreign national offenders, adding that paying for prisoners who could be incarcerated elsewhere was a drain on resources.
Vote Leave claimed the foreign offenders were costing £36,000 a year each to jail, and that the EU made it "more difficult" to deport overseas criminals.
Justice Minister Dominic Raab, who backs Brexit, said: "The EU is making us less safe. If we take back control we will be able to deport foreign criminals from our prisons."
But Home Secretary Theresa May, who backs remaining in the EU but withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights, said foreign criminals "should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them".
"Last year we removed a record number of foreign national offenders from this country, including a record number of EU criminals," she said.
"Being in the EU gives us access to criminal records sharing and prisoner transfer agreements which help us better identify people with criminal records and, allow us to send foreign criminals back to their home countries to serve their sentences."
MPs also warned it would take a "modern miracle" for David Cameron to meet his "no ifs, no buts" pledge to cut migration to under 100,000.
Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics estimate net migration to the UK rose to 333,000 in 2015 - the second highest figure on record.
During a live Q&A on Sky News on Thursday, David Cameron said migration could be managed if the UK remained inside the EU and it would be "madness" to try to control it by voting to leave.
Mr Cameron said he did not accept that his pledge to cut immigration below 100,000 could not be achieved within the EU.
But Vote Leave's Iain Duncan Smith said it was "telling" that Mr Cameron had not given a timetable for achieving this goal.
The Home Affairs Committee's wide-ranging report also said it was "deeply concerning" that there had been so little improvement in the immigration backlog, which stood at about 345,400 at the end of last year. | When a loved one dies it can be difficult to come to terms with feelings of loss.

Noel Conway, 67, who was diagnosed in November 2014 and is not expected to live beyond 12 months, said he should be free to determine his own death.
Mr Conway, of Shrewsbury, had told the court at a previous hearing he faces an "unbearable death" because of the law.
Two judges ruled against Mr Conway while one, Mr Justice Charles, agreed permission should be granted.
Mr Conway said he would appeal against the court's decision, the first case to be heard since the law was challenged in 2014 and 2015 and the only one involving a terminally ill patient.
More on this and other Shropshire stories here
Mr Conway had hoped to bring a judicial review that could result in terminally ill adults who meet strict criteria, making their own decisions about ending their lives.
His counsel Richard Gordon QC, told the court that when he had less than six months to live and retained the mental capacity to make the decision, his client "would wish to be able to enlist assistance to bring about a peaceful and dignified death".
Mr Conway was seeking a declaration that the Suicide Act 1961 is incompatible with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998, which relates to respect for private and family life, and Article 14, which enables protection from discrimination.
He was not in court in London to hear Lord Justice Burnett and Mr Justice Jay rule he did not have an arguable case to go forward.
Mr Conway, who is married with a son, daughter, stepson and grandchild, said he was "very disappointed" with their ruling.
"[But] I will not be deterred and will be appealing this decision," he said.
He said he has "come to terms" with the fact he is going to die, but does not accept being "denied the ability to decide the timing and manner of my death".
"The only alternative is to spend thousands of pounds, travel hundreds of miles and risk incriminating my loved ones in asking them to accompany me to Dignitas," he said.
Lord Justice Burnett said it remained "institutionally inappropriate" for a court to make a declaration of incompatibility between pieces of legislation, irrespective of personal views.
He added: "My conclusion does nothing to diminish the deep sympathy I feel for Mr Conway, his family and others who are confronted with the reality of living and dying with incurable degenerative conditions such as motor neurone disease."
Sarah Wootton, chief executive of campaign group Dignity in Dying, which is supporting Mr Conway's case, said the law "simply does not work".
"Parliament has so far ignored the pleas of dying people like Noel and the overwhelming majority of the public who also support a change in the law," she said.
Ms Wootton said a Crowdfunder appeal had been launched to help cover Mr Conway's legal costs and it had "received incredible support".
Commenting on the case, the Care Not Killing Alliance said: "This is not a day for celebration. This was a troubling case that sought to usurp the democratic will of Parliament.
"The current laws on assisted suicide and euthanasia are simple and clear. They exist to protect those who are sick, elderly, depressed, or disabled from feeling obliged to end their lives."
The body had already contributed £9.4m, including £8m of capital funding, to the museum on the banks of the Tay.
It was revealed this month that the cost of the project has almost doubled to £80m, with Dundee City Council and the Scottish government also pledging extra money.
Project bosses said the new funding meant work could begin on site soon.
The funding was agreed following a meeting of the Heritage Lottery Fund's UK board.
Chief executive Carole Souter said: "V&A Dundee will provide Scotland with a world-class museum of design while making a transformational contribution to the cultural, social and economic regeneration of the city.
"We can now look forward to seeing this iconic building start to take shape and realising its full potential."
Dundee city councillors agreed on Monday to allocate £6.5m of the authority's capital budget to the project, and talks are ongoing with the Scottish government about developing a "growth acceleration model" proposal, which would provide additional funding for the museum and the wider £1bn city waterfront regeneration project.
V&A Dundee director Philip Long said the "generous support" from the Heritage Lottery Fund was a "significant boost" to the museum.
He said: "Together with important recent decisions by Scottish government and Dundee City Council it opens the door to an impending site start.
"We can now look forward to getting on and building this outstanding new museum, the first in the UK to be dedicated to design outside London.
"The renewed support of our funding and founding partners underlines the momentum and determination driving forward V&A Dundee, which will do so much to change the fortunes of this city."
Work on the museum is scheduled to begin by the end of March, which could lead to it opening by June 2018.
A Vauxhall Astra and a Peugeot 206 were involved in the crash on Blackburn Road in Sheffield at 01:00 GMT.
A 19-year-old Rotherham man died in the Astra and a Sheffield man, also 19, died in the Peugeot.
One man, 20, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene.
Three other men who were travelling in the Peugeot were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
They were a 24-year-old and an 18-year-old from Rotherham, and a 21-year-old man about whom no other details were released by police.
The nature of their injuries is not known.
The staff member became entangled with the hydraulically operated machine at the firm's shop in Middlesbrough's Captain Cook Square in December 2013.
The company must also pay £4,800 in costs.
It was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court having pleaded guilty to a health and safety offence at a previous hearing.
Easi Recycling Solutions Limited, which supplied and installed the machine, was fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £6,800 costs having also previously admitted its guilt.
Judith Hedgley, Middlesbrough Council's environmental health and trading standards manager, said the woman's "serious crushing injuries" would have been avoided "if better safety procedures, supervision and training had been implemented for the users of the machine".
Guests at the traditional gathering of influential figures include Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, and Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg.
The contents of their discussions are never released.
This year's agenda includes the UK, terrorism and the US elections.
Artificial intelligence, cyber security, Greece, Russia and 'European Strategy' will also be discussed.
The event, first held at the Hotel De Bilderberg in the Netherlands in 1954, describes itself as an "annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America".
This year's is being attended by 133 people and lasts for three days.
Critics claim it is a front for a shadow world government, and the events often attract protesters.
In 2013, Mr Balls - who lost his seat in last months' general election - said he did not "really quite see what the fuss is all about".
The organisers say the secret nature of the discussions allows participants to "take time to listen, reflect and gather insights".
"There is no desired outcome, no minutes are taken and no report is written.
"Furthermore, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued," they say.
The Scotland Bill is to give Holyrood control over several areas of welfare, as well as income tax rates and bands.
Speaking to party activists in Glasgow, Ms Dugdale proposed using the new powers to help groups including carers and new mothers from poor backgrounds.
The Scottish government will outline its proposals for welfare on Tuesday.
In her speech, Ms Dugdale set out key changes she plans to make to the welfare system, and stated that Scotland "can and must" do things differently to the Conservative government at Westminster.
A range of benefits including the Carer's Allowance, benefits for people with disabilities like the Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance, and other benefits which are targeted at low-income households such as maternity grants and funeral payments will be devolved in the Scotland Bill.
Ms Dugdale said: "Unlike any previous election, it will not be the constitution which is the centre of this Scottish election but rather how we use our powers. 2016 will be the first Scottish tax and spend election.
"Scottish Labour will never look for an excuse not to act. We will use the new powers we hold and grasp with both hands the possibilities they provide."
Her proposals included:
She said that raising the level of Carer's Allowance to match the level of Jobseeker's Allowance would be worth about £600 a year extra to carers, which would "help to tackle poverty amongst a group in society who give so much to others."
Ms Dugdale also said that the Sure Start maternity grant has been set at £500 for 14 years, while the cost of having a baby has increased.
"We would bring it more up to date by more than doubling it to £1,030, helping families with the average cost of a cot, buggy, car seat and nappies for a year", she will pledge.
The Scottish government said at the weekend that it wanted to reduce the stress of applying for benefits when new welfare powers are devolved.
Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil also said SNP ministers would be looking to remove the stigma that can be attached to claiming social security.
Just over 15% of welfare spending north of the border will be devolved, the Scottish government has said, with the legislation also giving the parliament in Edinburgh the power to create new benefits and top up existing payments.
Mr Neil will use a debate on Tuesday to set out the key principles that he argues will underpin the Scottish government approach to welfare - that social security is an investment in the people of Scotland, with respect for the individual at the heart of the system.
Also at the weekend, Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie told his party's spring conference that he would put forward a "big, bold agenda" for change in the run-up to the election on 5 May.
He pledged the party's policies - including plans to raise £475m for education by increasing the income tax rate in Scotland by 1p - would make the country "fit for the future".
Changes to drug policy which aim to treat addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal justice problem will also be included in its manifesto, along with plans to put the treatment of mental health problems on an equal standing in law with physical ill health.
The Lib Dems also want more NHS funds to go to GPs in a bid to address recruitment issues, and say councils should have the power to set local taxation.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said the new devolved powers would allow the Scottish government to make "real choices" about the level of benefits in Scotland.
She added: "We are glad to see Labour finally catching up with my call last year for an increase in the Carers' Allowance - which we believe is the right thing to do.
"However, all political parties need to be sure there is a fair balance between helping people who need our support, as well as the taxpayers who fund it.
"That means that when these new welfare powers are devolved, we will press the SNP to support a welfare system that provides a safety net, but one which also helps people back into work - which will always be the best route out of poverty."
Danny Murphy will join Gary Lineker and Martin Keown on Match of the Day on BBC One and the BBC Sport website at 22:20 GMT on Saturday for highlights of seven Premier League games. You can watch highlights of Tottenham v Everton on MOTD2 at 22:30 on Sunday.
Even if Koeman's side maintain their current form during the run-in, which is a big enough ask, they are relying on not one but three of the six teams above them falling away.
All the sides chasing leaders Chelsea have had blips in the past few months, but something that dramatic is just not going to happen.
I still think Evertonians will be really pleased with what is happening at their club at the moment, however.
My feeling earlier on in the season was that they were not getting the rewards they deserved. They drew and lost a few games in October and November even though they were playing really well, and lost a bit of confidence.
But in Morgan Schneiderlin and Ademola Lookman, they made a couple of good additions in January that have strengthened their squad and given them some competition for places.
On top of that, their manager has had more time to work on what he expects and how he wants them to play, and it is working.
Everton have built this momentum over the past couple of months and there is a real positivity about the place that we have not seen from their fans for a while.
The quality of football is good, the squad is getting better and the ambition is there too - the owner has promised to put more money into the club and there is still talk and hope of a new stadium somewhere down the line to give them the extra revenue they need.
With so much of a feel-good factor around Goodison Park, I can understand why Koeman is setting such ambitious targets but, being realistic, cracking the top four will be very difficult in the short term, and it is likely to stay that way.
For starters, Everton are competing against Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United - three clubs who can buy any player in the world, and pay the best wages in the world too.
Arsenal do not generally spend as much but they still made a massive outlay to sign Alexis Sanchez (£35m in 2014) and Mesut Ozil (£42.4m in 2013), for example.
Like Liverpool and Tottenham, Everton have not changed the philosophy of their recruitment to try to compete. They are not at the same level financially, so they have to do it in a different way.
The Spurs approach has been to try to build a young squad full of hungry players and sprinkle it with proven quality.
It looks like Everton are trying to do something similar but both teams face the same problem while they seek to progress, which is keeping hold of their best players - and maybe their managers too.
Spurs will be a real test for Everton and their long unbeaten run, but they are also a good example of what they can achieve as a club and how to build to achieve it.
There are already similarities in how both teams play, with a solid defence, attack-minded full-backs, some talented young English players and a prolific goalscorer up front.
Like Koeman, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants his teams to be difficult to beat, asks his players to defend in numbers and wants them to play decent football when they go forward.
I would say Tottenham are a better defensive unit than Everton but the biggest difference between the two teams is that the Toffees are too reliant on Romelu Lukaku to score their goals. That is what they are lacking in comparison to the rest of the top six too.
You could argue Spurs are the same with Harry Kane but they do have Dele Alli to chip in as well. When Lukaku is not at it, Everton do not look as threatening, full-stop.
His future, and whether he will sign a new contract at Everton, has been talked about since the start of the season.
Lukaku is hugely important to the way they play but he is probably even more important as an asset, and they have to protect that.
If he signs a new deal, they can protect themselves without standing in his way if he gets an offer and really wants to leave because, then, if someone comes in for him they will get what he is worth.

Statistically, Everton are strong defensively but that comes at a price. They have created fewer chances in the Premier League than all six of the teams above them.
Of course Koeman will be looking to make them more of a threat but you cannot always be good defensively and, at the same time, create lots of chances.
For where Everton are at right now, their approach is the right one. They have made themselves hard to beat, and are building from there.
Would they get more creativity by pushing more men forward and playing with more freedom? Maybe. But committing more players to attack would leave them exposed, and they do not have the same calibre of attackers as the teams above them.
Tottenham actually have a similar problem because, behind Kane, I still feel they are missing the kind of high-end quality creative player their rivals have got.
I rate Christian Eriksen and Alli but Moussa Sissoko and Erik Lamela do not really compare to the options at City, Arsenal or Chelsea.
What Spurs have instead is an ability to dig in during games when they are not playing well.
That allows them to get results because of their team togetherness and defensive organisation, and it is the way forward for Everton too.
As well as talking about the top four, Koeman spoke this week about how bringing Wayne Rooney back to the club from Manchester United this summer would "make Everton stronger".
I am not so sure.
I do not doubt Rooney has got the quality to do a great job for Everton but my question to Koeman would be, whose place in the team is he going to take?
Everton have just spent £11m on Lookman, a 19-year-old kid from Charlton. If you do that, you want to work on him and give him the game-time he needs to progress.
They already had Ross Barkley, one of England's best young players. If Koeman wants Barkley to stay, to build him up to the quality player he can be, then he needs to play too.
Media playback is not supported on this device
What is Koeman going to do with these guys - sit them on the bench? How does that fit in with the club's philosophy?
Don't get me wrong, I know the value of an experienced head to help young players, and the England captain would definitely be great at that.
But he will want to play as well - if he leaves United then, wherever he goes, you would think that would be the whole point.
At 31, Rooney is a brilliant footballer and I understand why people want him back at Goodison Park.
But him being there would ultimately mean a young player does not get as much football, and their development would be hampered.
Danny Murphy was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Gwent Police and social services have been criticised in three reports into Carl Mills, 28.
Kim Buckley, 46, Kayleigh, 17, and baby Kimberley died in Cwmbran in a house fire he started in September 2012.
Despite the criticism, police insisted Mills - jailed for 35 years - was "solely" responsible for the deaths.
However, in press conference on Thursday, Simon Burch, chief officer for social care and health at Monmouthshire council, said: "We once again offer our condolences to their family and friends.
"The report indentified several areas where service providers could and should have acted differently. Where we fell short, we sincerely apologise."
Homeless Mills, a heavy drinker originally from Bolton, Greater Manchester, was "incredibly controlling and jealous" and condemned his girlfriend, their daughter and Mrs Buckley to "an agonising death", the trial judge said.
Three reports were published on Thursday - a Serious Case Review (SCR), a Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) and an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The DHR said it was rare to say if matters had been handled differently the murders would not have happened, but added: "However, in this case, if the information in Bolton concerning Mills' history had been properly researched and considered... the risks would have been better understood and it is likely that action would have been taken that was more likely to protect [Kimberley, Kayleigh and Mrs Buckley] from the extreme act which caused their deaths."
Mills met Kayleigh on Facebook when she was 15 and he was 26. He groomed her and travelled to Wales to see her.
The report said that her mother became so worried she contacted Gwent Police and social services - as did teachers and, later, hospital staff.
The DHR said:
Over the course of 21 months there were various child protection referrals and inquiries prompted by Mills's drunkenness, extreme jealousy and threatening behaviour.
The SCR also pinpointed a string of failings leading up to the murders, including at least 45 incidents of violence committed by Mills during his time in Bolton, including setting fire to his mother's bed and threatening her with knives.
But initial checks by Gwent Police found "no trace" of previous convictions or involvement with police.
In December 2010, the force carried out more checks and told Mrs Buckley that Mills posed a "significant risk" because he had been to prison, but officers did not know why and, because he had not committed offences in Cwmbran, no action could be taken.
Gwent Police made a child protection referral to social services but Kayleigh refused to co-operate with staff.
When she turned 16, the report found, she was treated as being responsible for the choices she made.
In October 2011 she became pregnant with twins. Kayleigh miscarried one daughter in March 2012 and went on to have Kimberley, who was born 15 weeks early.
The little girl was deaf, blind and had chronic lung problems.
Meanwhile, Mills continued to sleep rough in Cwmbran, which prompted officers to make further inquiries.
They found:
Three weeks before the murders, Mrs Buckley reported Mills for criminal damage and stealing her house keys, but the IPCC found this was not acted on by Gwent Police.
On 17 September 2012, Mrs Buckley and Kayleigh brought baby Kimberley home for the first time.
In the early hours of 18 September, Mills set fire to their home, stood outside and looked on as neighbours tried desperately to save them.
The report made 13 recommendations, including:
Gwyneth Swain, Mrs Buckley's mother, Kayleigh's grandmother and baby Kimberley's great-grandmother said:
"We want these reports to be used to stop anything like this ever happening again. Lessons must be learned from the many things that went wrong.
"Three members of my family should not have been killed by Mills. There were so many missed chances as the facts in these reports show."
The Sun newspaper claims energy deals offered by Age UK with supplier E.On may have been much more expensive than the cheapest offers from the firm.
In return, the Sun alleged, the charity had received about £6m from E.On.
Age UK has rejected the allegations, while E.On said its tariffs were competitively priced.
The Sun claimed that Age UK recommended a special rate from E.On which would typically cost pensioners £1,049 for the year - £245 more than its cheapest rate in 2015.
It also alleged Age UK received about £41 from energy supplier E.On for every person signed-up, amounting to £6m a year.
BBC personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz said it was standard practice for price comparison websites to receive a commission for passing on business.
Age UK would not comment on any payments it had received from E.On. But it said E.On "have been generous supporters of our charity over and above the number of customers on the tariff".
The charity added it had been working "openly and above board" with E.On for 14 years.
A spokesman said: "We strongly reject the allegations and interpretation of figures in this article.
"Energy prices change all the time and we have always advised older people to look out for new good deals and we will continue to do so."
E.On said the Sun had made a comparison between two different types of tariffs.
It said the Age UK product referenced by the paper as costing pensioners about £1,049 annually was a two-year fixed deal, which although more expensive than its cheapest rate, was favoured by some customers because it provided longer-term certainty over potential price increases.
E.On said: "We always work to make sure our tariffs, for all customers, are competitively priced and that is further evidenced by the fact that our current Age UK tariff was the UK's cheapest product of its type in the UK when it was launched, a two-year fixed deal, and when we launched our current one-year fixed product, it was also the cheapest in the UK."
It added its customers can switch tariffs at any time without any charge been applied and sign up to be alerted to potentially better deals when they become available.
In a statement, Energy Secretary Amber Rudd said: "People expect a fair deal when it comes to their energy bills, not a rough deal.
"I take very seriously this allegation that Britain's pensioners are being misled, so immediately contacted Ofgem who will now investigate this urgently and report back to me."
Ofgem said its rules required energy companies to treat consumers fairly when they were marketing and selling energy.
It said: "Ofgem has a track record of punishing firms who mislead consumers and we will look at carefully at these claims."
Last month Eon announced a 5.1% reduction in its standard gas price for residential customers.
At the time it said it had Britain's cheapest fixed energy tariff.
Energy firms have been cutting prices recently in response the falling prices of wholesale energy.
However, critics says that they have not been quick enough to pass those falls on to consumers.
The Competition and Market Authority (CMA) is still examining whether the industry needs reforming to improve competition between suppliers.
It is the first time that the social media company has issued such a warning.
Twitter emailed users to say that the hackers may have sought their email or IP addresses, or phone numbers, which it recently began collecting.
The number of accounts affected by the suspected hack is unclear.
Coldhak, a Canadian non-profit organisation, said it had received a warning from Twitter.
"We believe that these actors (possibly associated with a government) may have been trying to obtain information such as email addresses, IP addresses, and/or phone numbers," the email stated.
"At this time, we have no evidence they obtained your account information, but we're actively investigating this matter. We wish we had more we could share, but we don't have any additional information we can provide at this time."
The Chinese and North Korean governments are thought to be responsible for some cyber hacking of western companies and governments.
Some IT experts say the hackers who breached Sony's computer network late last year and leaked huge amounts of confidential information were backed by the North Korean state.
Pyongyang has consistently denied involvement in the security breach.
James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC, said that government-backed attackers have far greater resources at their disposal than criminal hacker gangs.
They may be able to use other measures such as human agents or communications intercepts to successfully bypass any security measures, he said.

The downpours also left several roads in Lowestoft and Carlton Colville under water and near impassable.
Water poured into homes on Aldwyk Way causing serious damage to ground floor and ruining furniture.
Police are advising motorists to drive carefully in places where water has gathered and has still not drained away.
Although conditions have improved, community station Lowestoft Weather said it does not rule out the chance of further showers.

Natalie Jones, 33, hoped to "make her friends jealous" with a seaside snap in St Ives, on Cornwall's north coast.
But the "perfect" moment at Porthgwidden beach was ruined when a gull suddenly swooped down to take a bite out of Miss Jones' pasty.
Miss Jones, from Glasgow, said: "Just as I went to take the picture I felt something on my head."
She was "amazed" to find the picture captured the "microsecond" when the gull struck and showed its "really vicious claws and the beak embedded into the pasty".
The gull managed to fly away with a beak full of pasty and Miss Jones discarded the rest.
The civil servant was unhurt but said the incident "could have been quite serious".
St Ives has had repeated problems with gulls stealing food and the town council has previously drafted in hawks and falcons to tackle the scavenging birds.
Linda Taylor, Mayor of St Ives, said the problem of gulls was worsened by people feeding the birds.
She said: "Some people still think it's amusing to throw food on the floor and watch seagulls descend like the Alfred Hitchcock film [The Birds]."
Signs have been put up around St Ives warning the public to protect their food when eating outside.
In a joint statement, the two airlines said they would now move to finalise the deal "as soon as possible".
Alitalia, which has debts of about 800m euros ($1.1bn; £656m), voted on 13 June to accept Etihad's offer to invest in the company.
The deal still needs regulatory approval before it can go ahead.
For Alitalia the deal is seen as a way to reverse its troubled fortunes.
Last October, Alitalia approved plans for a 300m euro capital increase as part of a deal to fend off bankruptcy.
Prior to its 2008 privatisation it also received several state handouts.
The Italian airline said earlier this month that the Etihad investment was "an excellent outcome" and would "provide financial stability".
Etihad said the deal would give more choice to air travellers into and out of Italy.
The firms did not give any details of the amount of money Etihad would invest. But Italy's transport minister Maurizio Lupi has said Etihad is prepared to invest up to 1.25bn euros over the next four years.
Mr Lupi said both Alitalia and Etihad had met with Alitalia's creditors on Tuesday where "decisive steps forward" had been made.
"It's increasingly clear that this marriage should happen because it's obvious to all that we are dealing with a strong industrial investment that will offer our airline concrete growth prospects," he added.
The two carriers have been in talks since December, but negotiations are reported to have been held back by Alitalia's reluctance to make job cuts part of the deal.
William Cavanagh, 47, was caught stockpiling weapons parts at his home in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire.
The haul included components for AK47 and AR15 assault rifles.
Cavanagh was caught after a parcel from a US gun firm was intercepted and it was found he did not have a firearms licence. He later admitted 15 offences.
Jailing him at the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Burns said the case did not meet the required "exceptional circumstances" to merit a lesser sentence.
The judge said: "I'm not satisfied that lack of knowledge in your particular circumstances would amount to 'exceptional circumstances'.
"Moreover it seems to be a case of wilful blindness. You are a person who clearly has an interest and knowledge of firearms.
"Furthering business enterprises seems to be outwith the scope of exceptional circumstances."
The court heard that Cavanagh bought the gun parts over the internet and had them shipped to his home in Airdrie.
He was caught after the UK Border Force intercepted a parcel in June 2014 addressed to him from a major American weapons firm.
When police were alerted to the delivery, they discovered Cavanagh did not have a firearms licence, and subsequently raided his home.
Among his stash were parts for AK47 and AR15 rifles, as well as a single-shot pistol, and a 4.5mm revolver.
The 47-year-old claimed he was building a ballistics testing range to find materials which could be used for home protection in conflict zones such as northern Iraq.
The qualified engineer said he was motivated to find protective building materials to sell through his security firm after seeing the injuries inflicted on people by ISIS.
Cavanagh claimed he only bought the pieces to try out a clamp for holding guns at his planned testing range.
He said he had no idea it was illegal to own parts of firearms that could not shoot and said he was going to apply for a firearms licence in due course.
Cavanagh pleaded guilty to 15 firearm charges during an earlier hearing in Glasgow in June.
The double Commonwealth Games gold medallist broke a second British short-course record in as many days when he won the 100m freestyle in 46.69 secs at the ASA winter meet in Sheffield.
Proud had bettered Foster's 14-year-old 50m freestyle mark on Thursday.
"This is Ben's moment and he is going to be one of our stars come the Olympics next year," Foster said.
Plymouth Leander swimmer Proud's time beat the previous national 100m freestyle mark of 46.75 set by Adam Brown in 2009.
"I was number one in the UK from 1985-2008, and it's nice now someone can take on the mantle and progress it and take it a step further otherwise Britain just gets left behind by the rest of the world," Foster told BBC Radio Devon.
"These are stepping stones towards the Olympic Games and to lay these times down now - I think the 50 free was second-fastest in the world this year - he's in good form.
"At the Olympic Games he'll have to be at the top of his game and do best times to stand a chance of winning a medal."
Ebbw Vale schoolboy Page and 18-year old Tyler Rees from Llanelli have been invited to the qualifying rounds at Ponds Forge in Sheffield in April.
Both received wildcards to compete at last month's Welsh Open in Cardiff with Page reaching the last 32 stage.
"We look forward to welcoming Jackson to Sheffield," said World Snooker's (WPBSA) chairman Jason Ferguson.
"Jackson is an example of a player who has taken the opportunity presented to him with both hands already in 2017.
"Having qualified through the WPBSA's development work with national governing bodies and during the Welsh Open last month he won two matches against current professionals and gained enormous exposure in the media.
"Last week he became the 2017 European U-18 champion in Cyprus and he continues to battle it out in the European Championships to try and earn that golden ticket to the World Snooker Tour.
"We look forward to welcoming him and the other successful qualifiers to Sheffield next month and seeing who will be able to take full advantage of the opportunity and perhaps even make it all the way to the Crucible."
Lloyds Banking Group rose 2% and Barclays was up 0.6% after the banking regulator proposed a deadline for consumers to claim compensation for mis-sold payment protection insurance.
But credit checking firm Experian slumped 3.8% after a data theft.
Hackers stole data of more than 15 million customers.
The information was related to customers of mobile phone firm T-Mobile, which was held by Experian.
"Undoubtedly a breach of this magnitude is a major setback, especially to a company that takes data security very seriously ... Experian's business is that of handling data, which makes this incident particularly embarrassing," analysts at Barclays said in a note.
"T-Mobile is obviously reviewing its relationship with Experian. In itself the loss of one client is fairly immaterial but if it triggers other account reviews, it could become more significant."
FirstGroup fell 0.7% after it said trading for the first six months of the year had been in line with expectations.
On the currency markets, the pound was 0.6% higher against the dollar at $1.5224 but was 0.17% down against the euro at €1.3501.
The study, in the journal Sleep, said most children had nightmares, but persistent ones may be a sign of something more serious.
Having night terrors - screaming and thrashing limbs while asleep - also heightened the risk.
The charity YoungMinds said it was an important study which may help people detect early signs of mental illness.
Nearly 6,800 people were followed up to the age of 12.
Parents were regularly asked about any sleep problems in their children and at the end of the study the children were assessed for psychotic experiences such as hallucinations, delusions and thinking their thoughts were being controlled.
The study showed that the majority of children had nightmares at some point, but in 37% of cases, parents reported problems with nightmares for several years in succession.
One in 10 of the children had night terrors, generally between the ages of three and seven.
The team at the University of Warwick said a long-term problem with nightmares and terrors was linked to a higher risk of mental health problems later.
Around 47 in every 1,000 children has some form of psychotic experience.
However, those having nightmares aged 12 were three-and-a-half times more likely to have problems and the risk was nearly doubled by regular night terrors.
One of the researchers, Prof Dieter Wolke, told the BBC: "Nightmares are relatively common, as are night terrors, it is quite normal, but if they persist then there may be something more serious about it."
The relationship between sleep problems and psychosis is not clear.
One theory is that bullying or other traumatic events early in life can cause both symptoms.
Or the way some children's brains are wired means the boundaries between what is real and unreal, or sleeping and wakefulness, are less distinct.
It means treating the sleep issues may not prevent psychotic events.
However, nightmares may act as an early warning sign of future, more serious, problems.
Prof Wolke said a regular routine and quality sleep were key to tackling nightmares: "Sleep hygiene is very important, they should have more regular sleep, avoid anxiety-promoting films before bed and not have a computer at night."
Night terrors occur at specific points during sleep and can be managed by briefly waking the child.
Lucie Russell, the director of campaigns at YoungMinds, said: "This is a very important study because anything that we can do to promote early identification of signs of mental illness is vital to help the thousands of children that suffer.
"Early intervention is crucial to help avoid children suffering entrenched mental illness when they reach adulthood."

The Frenchman, 67, has faced fierce protests from fans calling for him to leave the club he has led since 1996.
"I don't mind criticism because we are in a public job," he told BBC Sport's Football Focus before Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
"I believe there's a difference between being criticised and being treated in a way that human beings don't deserve."
He added: "The lack of respect from some has been a disgrace and I will never accept that. I will never forget it.
"The behaviour of some people during the season, that is what hurts me most. It's not my person that is hurt but the impeccable image of the club around the world. That kind of behaviour does not reflect what Arsenal is.
"A strong club is a club that makes a decision. It is wrong that in modern society it is not a question of whether a decision is right but whether it is popular. That has nothing to do with competence. People with responsibility have to make the right decision."
Wenger will become the most successful manager in FA Cup history with a seventh title if his Arsenal side beat Chelsea in Saturday's 17:30 BST kick-off.
But the Gunners missed out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years by finishing fifth in the Premier League,
Wenger's contract expires this summer, with his future set to be decided at a board meeting on Monday.
He has previously admitted that Arsenal's season was affected by the uncertainty around his position, as well as the protests calling for him to leave.
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown on Football Focus
Wenger seems very defiant. He doesn't sound like a man who is about to go. He is calling out the board, asking them to not go with the popular decision - because the fans are against him.
In that interview, he is a different Arsene Wenger. It is his life! He doesn't want to let go of Arsenal Football Club. He said "retired people die!" That's how serious he is about it.
His life is dependent on staying in management. I cannot believe that after all he has achieved over the last 12 years that the fans are against him.
Charlie Stewart, 21, was the unanimous choice of the judges at the event at Glasgow City Halls on Sunday.
He was praised for a "moving and spirited" performance which set him apart from five fellow finalists.
The student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland said he first picked up the fiddle as a nine-year-old, after hearing his godfather perform.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "My godfather is great musician and he plays mandolin and fiddle a bit.
"I remember him playing in the house and thought it was amazing. I was maybe three or four.
"I didn't start playing till years after but I really liked the fiddle from then on."
He said he was "amazed and so pleased" to scoop the prestigious award, which is part of the Celtic Connections festival.
Mr Stewart also plays with two bands - Dosca and Levack, Stewart, Irving - and he has performed all over Europe.
In 2016, he reached the semi-finals of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards, playing with harpist Becky Hill.
Now he has been named the young traditional musician of the year, he wins a recording session with the BBC and a year-long membership of the Musicians Union.
Jeff Zycinski, head of radio at BBC Scotland, said: "Charlie is exactly the type of performer we wanted to shine the spotlight on when we launched the search for this year's winner. His stunning performance was both moving and spirited and really captivated the audience.
"Every year, the judging process becomes more difficult with musicians of such a high calibre coming through the ranks. Our six finalists were magnificent, each one stamping their set with true individuality and flair.
"It was an extremely difficult choice, but Charlie stood out on the night. He will really help to inspire and encourage the next generation of young artists to keep traditional music alive."
Previous winners have used their victory as a springboard to a professional career in music. They include last year's winner, concertina virtuoso Mohsen Amini, and singer Robyn Stapleton, who won in 2014.
The other finalists this year were piper Dougie McCance, from Erskine; Ella Munro, a singer from Skye; accordion player Grant McFarlane, from Paisley; Huntly-based singer Iona Fyfe; and Kim Carnie, a Gaelic singer who is originally from Oban.

In a report in Japan's Sankei Shimbun, Tatsuya Kato repeated rumours about Ms Park's whereabouts on the day of the Sewol ferry disaster.
Prosecutors were asking for an 18-month prison term. Mr Kato denied it was defamation and said the report was in the public interest.
Critics had said the decision to prosecute infringed on free speech.
The ferry sinking in April 2014 killed more than 300 people - mostly teenagers on a school trip. Ms Park's government has faced a huge public backlash for its handling of the rescue operation.
Many South Koreans newspapers questioned why Ms Park was not involved in the initial hours after the accident.
Mr Kato, who is the former Seoul bureau chief for his newspaper, wrote an article that repeated rumours that Ms Park had been with a man at the time.
The prosecution said this was based on "false information". Ms Park's office has denied she was with the man at that time.
The Seoul district court judge said that while what Mr Kato wrote was inappropriate, he should be protected by the freedom of speech in a democratic society.
The BBC's Kevin Kim in Seoul says the journalist has argued that he was targeted because the paper is often criticised in South Korea for a nationalistic editorial stance.
The case has strained diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan. Historically, some people in South Korea and China feel Japanese leaders show a lack of remorse over Japan's wartime aggressions.
In particular, the disagreement of the existence of Korean "comfort women" - which Korea says were women forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War Two.

"All at UK Athletics send our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Philippa at this sad time," UK Athletics chief executive Niels de Vos said.
Her best throw of 62.89 metres, achieved in 2003, places her fourth the British all-time rankings.
Wales' 2008 discus champion also placed fourth at two Commonwealth Games, in Manchester and Delhi, and sixth in Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne.
Welsh Athletics Head of Coaching and Performance Scott Simpson said: "We are all shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic news. We are currently awaiting more information surrounding what has happened.
"Philippa was one of Wales' finest ever throwers, excelling across all disciplines, but particularly in the discus.
"Her bubbly personality always brought a smile to those around her and she will be remembered as the life and soul of the Welsh teams that she was a part of.
"Not only the best teammate that one could have wished for, she was an inspiration to many and a great role model for future generations of athlete across all disciplines.
"She will be sorely missed by all that knew her and we would like to send our deepest condolences to her family and friends during this most difficult of times."
The Scot bemoaned the absence of Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott - all top-eight players in the world - plus a dozen others who have ruled themselves out, citing the Zika virus.
"First time we're back in the Olympics since 1904 and we don't show up," said former Ryder Cup captain Montgomerie.
"It's a shame that a number of top players have decided not to go."
The Zika virus is mosquito-borne and has been linked to defects in newborn babies.
"If there was as many ladies not going, you might have thought that was OK," Montgomerie continued.
"One lady has pulled out. There you go. How many men? It's disappointing."
Henrik Stenson offered some levity on the subject and goodness knows it was needed. Golf in the Olympics has become the touchiest topic.
As one stellar name after another - seven major winners and counting - withdraw from the Games by way of earnest lines about the Zika virus and the damage it might do to their unborn child, Stenson spoke with humour on the whole wretched business while on duty at the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
"It's the only time when it's a competitive advantage to be 40-plus," said the 40-year-old world number six. "I'm done with the bambino thing.
"I've got three kids at home and I'm not looking to have any more. I might be in a different situation [to other players], but the Zika virus is not a concern of mine.
"It's the one good thing about being 40 and being done with the baby boom."
Golf needed Stenson to talk up the Games. Patrick Reed, the American, weighed in too.
"Any time I can wear the Stars and Stripes, I do it," said Reed. "If I get the call tomorrow, I'll be on the flight.
"It doesn't matter where it is, when it is. If I can play for my country, I'm going to play.
"I've talked to Justine [his wife, a registered nurse] and she looks at it the same way. We have our little baby girl and so we've already started our family. It's risk-reward. I've always dreamed about being able to play for a gold medal."
This is thorny stuff for golf. Phil Mickelson spoke about it all on Wednesday as well. It was only a one-word answer, but given the nature of the question and the man who it answered it, it was telling nonetheless.
Asked if he was concerned about golf's future participation in the Olympic Games, he replied: "Probably."
Mickelson made it clear that, if only his form was good enough and his ranking high enough, he'd be honoured to represent his country.
He's too far out of the reckoning for that, but in Mickelson's demeanour, and in the demeanour of others such as Montgomerie, you sensed a disappointment and a worry about the absence from Rio of some of the game's most stellar names, among them three of the world's top-eight players and three more in the top 20 - Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Hideki Matsuyama.
So far, 15 male players have ruled themselves out of the Games. Major winners Graeme McDowell, Vijay Singh and Charl Schwartzel are also on the list.
Englishman Andy Sullivan, the world number 40, is the latest to make the call. Sullivan, like others on the list, would have not have made his national team, but his announcement adds to the air of negativity around the Games nonetheless.
By contrast only one female player has withdrawn - Lee-Ann Pace, the world number 37 from South Africa.
Montgomerie's exasperated tone was obvious. He knows how all this looks.
He's seen the comments by Rebecca Adlington, the Olympic champion swimmer, almost mocking the golfers who say they have been spooked by Zika. Katie Taylor, the iconic Irish boxer and another Olympic champion, has also had a pop.
They won't be the last stars from other sports to pour scorn on the golfers who have decided to skip Rio.
The controversy is not just about those who are not travelling, but the reasons why. Suspicions reign.
Is it really about Zika or more about a lack of interest in the Olympics, a refusal to tweak schedules to accommodate an event that is about national pride over individual glory? Scott said very firmly that it was the latter. So, too, Day. McIlroy said that it was a mixture of both.

Padraig Harrington has been an interesting voice in all of this. The Irishman has been an Olympic fan all of his life and, because of the withdrawals of three of his countryman, he's going to be a competitor at the Games.
Harrington sees all the arguments. "Players are not individuals in this," he said last week. "They're married, their wives are at home saying, 'This is crazy, you're not putting the family first if you go to the Olympics'. Some are scared because they want to start a family. And that's valid.
"I'll agree that there are players who are not interested in the Olympics - yet. Some of them don't see it as a big deal. Some of these guys feel it's not adding to their careers."
The interpretation about Zika and its threat - or otherwise - changes depending on who you listen to. These golfers have been pilloried for staying away from Rio despite the fact that Zika is not just in Rio, it's in 64 countries worldwide, including Barbados, where McIlroy recently holidayed, and Florida, where he now lives.
Zika has spread to central and South America and into Asia. In Rio, now in wintertime, the number of reported cases are falling all the time. Back at the start of the year, there were numbers in the thousands per week. Now that figure is in the hundreds. This in a population of 16m people in Rio state.
Hence the mocking of golf's stay-aways. The risk of infection is stated at one in 350,000. The World Health Organisation has said the risk is very low, an assessment supported by the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, a respected medical think tank in Brazil.
But, for every argument, there is a counter argument from another equally qualified expert.
Professor Sam McConkey, head of the department of international health and tropical medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, urged caution.
"Anybody who is considering conceiving a child in the next six to 12 months shouldn't be travelling voluntarily to Brazil," he said.
"If someone is considering fathering children, that would be a sound, wise, evidence-based reason not to travel to Brazil right now."
The story continues. As, you suspect, will the withdrawals.
"The conflict between Israel and Palestine can only be solved with a two-state solution," he said during his inaugural address in parliament.
It should be "negotiated in accordance with international law", he said.
Sweden last month voted out the centre-right Alliance coalition of Fredrik Reinfeldt after eight years.
That allowed the Social Democrats led by Mr Lofven to form a government with other parties on the left including the Greens.
"A two-state solution requires mutual recognition and a will to peaceful co-existence. Sweden will therefore recognise the state of Palestine," Mr Lofven said on Friday, without giving a timeline for the recognition.
Sweden will join more than 130 other countries that recognise a Palestinian state.
Most of the EU's 28 member states have refrained from recognising Palestinian statehood and those that do - such as Hungary, Poland and Slovakia - did so before joining the bloc.
The Palestinians have long sought to establish an independent, sovereign state in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem as its capital, and the Gaza Strip - occupied by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War.
Correspondents say Sweden's move is likely to be strongly criticised by Israel and the US, who argue that an independent Palestinian state should only emerge through negotiations.
In 1988, the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unilaterally declared a Palestinian state within the pre-June 1967 lines.
This won recognition from about 100 countries, mainly Arab, Communist and non-aligned states - several of them in Latin America.
The 1993 Oslo Accord between the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Israel led to mutual recognition. However, two decades of on-off peace talks have since failed to produce a permanent settlement.
In 2012, the UN General Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to that of a "non-member observer state".
It followed a failed bid to join the international body as a full member state in 2011 because of a lack of support in the UN Security Council.
Disenchantment is set in the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland and according to Groening, is about "life and death, love and sex".
It will be released 10 episodes at a time. Groening is also an executive producer on the show.
"Matt's brilliant work has resonated with generations round the world," said Netflix vice-president Cindy Holland.
"We couldn't be happier to work with him on Disenchantment.
"The series will bear his trademark animation style and biting wit and we think it's a perfect fit for our many Netflix animation fans."
Among the characters in the new series are hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci.
The series will feature the voice talents of Broad City's Abbi Jacobson (Bean), Academy Award-winning screenwriter Nat Faxon (Elfo) and Man Seeking Woman's Eric Andre (Luci). The Mighty Boosh star and new Great British Bake Off host Noel Fielding will also voice a character.
Groening said: "It is also about how to keep laughing in a world full of suffering and idiots, despite what the elders and wizards and other jerks tell you."
There have been more than 600 episodes of The Simpsons, which was first broadcast in December 1989.

Krol, given a two-year deal, becomes the third man to take charge of the club in a matter of months.
Raja fired Jose Romao after failing to qualify for the Champions League group phase, while his successor Faouzi Benzarti went back to his native Tunisia after three weeks in the job.
It is a fifth job in north Africa over the last two years for Krol.
In 2013 he took CS Sfaxien of Tunisia to the African Confederation Cup title and was then briefly caretaker coach of Tunisia when they lost in the World Cup qualifying play-offs to Cameroon.
He followed that with brief spells at Esperance in Tunisia and Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya.
Krol, 66, has also previously coached in Egypt and South Africa, where he won championship honours.
The yellow "be aware" warning has been issued for the Western Isles and north west Highlands for 10:00-16:00 on Wednesday.
Engineers have restored power to most of the 14,000 properties that lost electricity supplies overnight.
The remaining 1,300 customers should have power later on Tuesday.
Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (Shepd) said gusts of up to 90mph hit South Uist in the Western Isles and up to 80mph elsewhere.
Severe gales with gusts of up to 75mph have been forecast for Wednesday.
During the most recent storm, the cab of an engine on a train travelling from Glasgow to Inverness via Aberdeen was damaged.
The incident happened between Keith and Elgin at about 19:00 on Monday.
The train's passengers completed their journeys by bus. No-one was injured.
A spokeswoman for ScotRail said: "Last night, due to a striking a tree on the line between Keith and Elgin, our 14:41 Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness service returned to Keith.
"Passengers were transferred on to a later service allowing them to travel to their destination.
"We would like to thank our customers for their patience, and apologise for any inconvenience caused by circumstances outwith our control."
Network Rail said a line proving train which is used to check railway lines was struck by a falling tree at 04:00 at Clachnaharry in Inverness.
A fallen tree at Tain also reduced train speeds from about 21:50 on Monday.
Shepd, a subsidiary of energy giant SSE, said about 14,500 properties had been without power. Wick, Sutherland and Skye were among the worst affected areas.

Coach passenger numbers in the US have been hit by lower fuel costs driving passengers to use their cars instead.
In the UK, the company has faced headwinds in its rail franchises.
Its south-west franchise has been extended until August 2017, and it has submitted a bid for the next franchise.
Chief executive Martin Griffiths said the company remains focussed on a growth strategy including investment, value-for-money travel and customer satisfaction.
He said: "There is a large market opportunity for modal shift from cars to public transport against a backdrop of population growth, urbanisation, technological avancements and an increase in pressure to tackle road congestion and improve air quality."
Joshua Raymond, an analyst at XTB.com, said the company has to tackle staff costs, which are seen as one of the main causes of declining profit margins.
Nancie Atwell, a US teacher who won the Global Teacher Prize earlier this year, was visiting a school in London.
She also said that teachers could get more attention from pupils from talking quietly than shouting.
Ms Atwell won a million-dollar prize - but immediately gave the money to her school in Maine.
On her visit to Capital City Academy in Willesden, north-west London, she said part of the prize had been spent on fixing the school boilers.
Ms Atwell was demonstrating her award-winning teaching skills in an English lesson to a class of 12 and 13-year-olds, with Schools Minister Nick Gibb watching.
Softly spoken and fastidiously polite to the pupils, sitting in a circle around her, she taught a lesson about two poems. She also told them that her own pupils called her by her first name.
"I've been teaching a long time and something I've learnt is, almost the softer you are, the more attentive they are."
If there were behaviour problems, she said: "I would go to that student and say, 'What's the problem. You need to engage with this, stop talking.' I'm strict. I've also got what they call 'the look'... they fear it.
"The answer to almost every issue in the classroom is to talk to the kids about what's going on."
In terms of what made a great teacher, she said: "It's not my personality, it's not my intuition, it's what I know about professional methods."
She emphasised the importance of applying the lessons of research about what worked in the classroom.
Ms Atwell was awarded her prize at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai, with former US President Bill Clinton on stage.
But she said that as a teacher "committed to public service", she would donate the prize to her school.
Speaking in London about her donation, she said: "I have everything I need. My car runs, my mortgage is paid, but my school and my students didn't have what they needed."
Ms Atwell said the prize, funded by the Varkey Foundation, was an important recognition of the "life-changing" potential of teaching.
But she warned against education systems moving to what she thought was an over-prescriptive curriculum.
Such an approach would limit children's range of reading, she warned, so that they would spend too long focusing on a small number of texts in order to pass tests.
"Parents are recognising that their children are being tested rather than taught," she said of US schools.
She criticised the move in the United States towards a "common core" curriculum, which she said "inhibits teachers' creativity".
For teachers, she said an excessive focus on testing and a curriculum based on passing a test was "de-professionalising" teaching.
"It's done nothing but decimate morale," she said.
"It takes away teachers' autonomy, their ability to respond to who their students are and what they see is going on in their classroom."
But she emphasised how much could be achieved by teachers when they were able to engage with students and develop their creativity and writing skills.
Mr Gibb, observing from the back of the class, said he supported Ms Atwell "in her drive to highlight the importance of literacy and to help spread the love of reading around the world".
"Every child, no matter what their background, should read widely and read well, giving them the best opportunity to get on in life."
And pupils in the class gave their own views on what made a great teacher - with a number of them saying they liked it when teachers were strict enough to let people learn.
One, Keara, said she liked it when lessons were quiet and everyone could concentrate.
"There's a time for laughing and a time for getting on with the work," she said.
Teams had already spent a combined £1.005bn as of 08:30 BST on Wednesday, shattering last year's record £870m.
Thirteen top-flight teams broke their own transfer records.
The 20 clubs in the Premier League have benefited from a record £5.1bn television deal which came into effect this season.
"The increases in broadcast revenue, with the 2016-17 season being the first of the new broadcast deal cycle, is the principal driver of this spending power," said Dan Jones, a partner at financial analyst Deloitte.
This graphic below illustrates the gradual increase in spending by Premier League clubs over the past 10 January and summer transfer windows.

While this year's figure of £1.165bn easily broke the record set 12 months ago, it dwarfed the £215m spent during the first window in the 2003-04 campaign.
Such financial strength owes much to the record £5.136bn domestic TV deal, which was more than £2bn larger than the previous contract from 2013 to 2016.
Former England winger Trevor Sinclair said: "There's so much money in it for a reason - supply and demand. People demand to see the Premier League."
He added that the players would be the chief beneficiaries.
"If anyone is going to get the financial gain, surely it has to be the players," said Sinclair. "They are the ones who make it happen."
Below is a list of the biggest fees spent by Premier League clubs during the 2016-17 summer transfer window:
The two Manchester teams each spent more than £150m in the window.
Manchester United, under new boss Jose Mourinho, ended what was becoming a protracted saga by signing Paul Pogba for a world-record £89m.
They also added Armenia midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly, both at a cost of about £30m.
City, who also have a new manager in Pep Guardiola, brought in midfielder Leroy Sane from Schalke for £37m and then paid Everton £47.5m for defender John Stones.
After a season that could be classed as terrible by their standards, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich gave another new managerial recruit - Antonio Conte - extra spending power.
In an effort to rejoin the Premier League's top four, the Blues spent £120m, including £34m on bringing back Brazil defender David Luiz from Paris St-Germain and £33m on Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.
This was also a window when clubs vying for a top-four spot sent players out on loan who, only last season, were seen as first choice.
About £153m worth of talent, based on the fees paid for them, found temporary homes in this window.
Manchester City led, with keeper Joe Hart, midfielder Samir Nasri, striker Wilfried Bony and defender Eliaquim Mangala shipped out. They have a current estimated market value of about £62m.
Chelsea loaned out 38 players - five more than this time last season. Midfielder Juan Cuadrado, who cost £23.3m, signed up to another season at Italian champions Juventus, and £6m forward Lucas Piazon will spend his 2016-17 season at Fulham. It is the fifth club the Blues have loaned the 22-year-old to.
Chelsea defender Nathan Baxter, 17, will play for Metropolitan Police in the Isthmian Premier League - the seventh tier of English football - until January.
Meanwhile, West Ham's £12m forward Enner Valencia will be at Everton this season and Arsenal's England midfielder Jack Wilshere, who has made more than 100 appearances for the Gunners, has relocated to Bournemouth.
There was a record £215m gross spend by Championship clubs, more than twice the previous record.
However, the disparity of wealth between last season's relegated clubs and seasoned Championship campaigners was once again highlighted.
Newcastle and Aston Villa made use of the £64m parachute payments - guaranteed after dropping down a division - and spent more than £110m between them during this window.
Villa's outlay was more than £60m. It included £11m on striker Jonathan Kodjia from Bristol City, which might rise to a Championship-record fee of £15m, and the £12m paid to Fulham for forward Ross McCormack.
The Magpies finished the window with a net profit of more than £30m, despite spending more than £54m on players.
That was largely as a result of the Championship-record £30m deadline-day sale of midfielder Moussa Sissoko to Tottenham.
Norwich City, who lost a year's worth of parachute payments having stayed in the Premier League for only one season, spent about £15m.
Wolves, under new Chinese ownership, paid a club-record £7m for Monaco forward Ivan Cavaleiro, bringing their total spend on 13 players to £14m.
By contrast, league newcomers Burton Albion spent a club-record £300,000 on midfielder Jackson Irvine from Ross County.
The English Championship was the fifth-biggest spending league in Europe, beating the amount spent by France's Ligue 1.
The graphic below shows the order of the amount spent by Europe's 'big five' leagues. After the Premier League, the next highest spender was Serie A, with a gross spend of £590m. Then came the Bundesliga with a spend of £460m, followed by La Liga (£400m) and Ligue 1 (£165m).
Brazil defender David Luiz was the star attraction following his return to Chelsea from Paris St-Germain.
His move generated around 330,000 tweets, followed by about 180,000 for Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, who joined Bournemouth on loan.
Other hot topics were:
Jacob Bernstein said his remark was "stupid" and based on "unfounded rumours". The NYT said the remark was "inappropriate".
The comment was made public after actress and model Emily Ratajkowski shared it on Twitter.
Mrs Trump then tweeted in praise of women who stand up for women.
Bernstein, who is a features writer for the newspaper, wrote a series of tweets in which he took ownership of the remark.
In a statement, the NYT did not identify the reporter, but condemned the comments.
"At a party last night, a Times reporter who does not cover Washington or politics referred to an unfounded rumour regarding Melania Trump," it said.
"The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the reporter in question about the lapse."
On Monday, Ms Ratajkowski, who danced in Robin Thicke's controversial Blurred Lines video, criticised the reporter for the remarks, without identifying him.
Without mentioning the case, the first lady also took to Twitter to praise the actress.
Earlier this month, Mrs Trump re-filed a legal case against UK newspaper Daily Mail over allegations that she once worked as an escort. The paper later retracted the article.

The Foxes lifted the trophy, a first top-flight title in their 132-year history, after beating Everton at home.
Leicester were 5,000-1 to be champions after avoiding relegation last season.
"We know very well next season everything will be different but the fans are dreaming - keep dreaming," said Ranieri. "Why wake up?"
As English champions, the Foxes will go straight into the group stages of the Champions League for the 2016-17 campaign.
There has been speculation about the future of many of the club's players, including winger - and PFA Player of the Year - Riyad Mahrez and midfielder N'Golo Kante.
"If they are intelligent they stay with us another year," said Ranieri. "The Champions League is very difficult. Then after this next experience they can go.
"If they ask me something, I say 'stay with me'. But if somebody comes to me and says 'I'd like to go' then go because I want only happy players with me."

After a 2-1 defeat by Arsenal in February when they were reduced to 10 men following Danny Simpson's dismissal, Leicester's lead at the top of the Premier League was only two points.
However, Ranieri said it was that result, along with a 3-1 win at Manchester City, that gave him the belief in his side's ability to see out their improbable title bid.
"I had some good feeling when we beat Manchester City and also when we lost 2-1 against Arsenal in 95 minutes," said the Italian.
"I said we can do something special because if Arsenal is fighting 11 versus 10 and scores after 95 minutes then we can do something special."
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy scored two goals against Everton to take his league tally to 24 for the season, and also missed a penalty.
The England international left the field clutching his left hamstring at the final whistle but eased concerns over his Euro 2016 availability when he said it was only cramp.
"I think someone put a spell on me to make it happen this season," he told Sky Sports.
"Everyone works as hard and if someone is having an off-game then we know we have someone behind us to pick us up and keep us going.
"It's been a very, very long and hard process to get where I am today. But I wouldn't have been able to do it without friends, and the team behind me as well."
He added: "We're like brothers - as soon as training is finished we're always in touch."
Leicester captain Wes Morgan called it "an unbelievable feeling to finally get my hands on the trophy".
"I had to hold back the tears, I held them back and lifted it up - it was the best feeling in the world," said the centre-back.
"Everyone has been going on about how I was going to lift the trophy and saying don't drop it and putting some pressure on me. There is no better feeling than lifting the trophy.
"Hopefully, we can crack on from here. It is a big, big season next season but I want to enjoy the moment.
"It's like a dream but now it's a reality and you just want to enjoy it."

The 26-year-old scored 14 times for Sutton last season and was part of the side that reached the FA Cup fifth round, when they lost to Arsenal.

"He provides an important different option to the attacking threats which we currently have," said Robins.
"He is a raw talent with pace, power and aggression, and is also good in the air. We look forward to working with him and developing his ability further."

The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said unsuspecting consumers handed over a total of £3.7m to fraudsters in 2013.
Among the 4,555 reports were 22 victims who lost £10,000 or more.
Almost half the cases involved flight or concert and festival tickets, although people buying tickets for sporting events were also targeted.
Fraud reports peaked in the summer music festival season, Acpo said, and spiked for flight tickets again in December.
The association said scams were typically carried out over the internet.
Acpo's national co-ordinator for economic crime, Commander Stephen Head, said the problem was getting worse.
"Millions of pounds were lost last year and millions more could go the same way in 2014," he warned.
"Taking a punt on an unofficial seller, be it over the internet or face-to-face, is just not worth the risk."
Cdr Head, of the City of London Police, said the responsibility for tackling the con artists lay with ticket distributors, as well as the police:
"I am calling on the industry to take a long hard look at the way tickets are sometimes sold in this country to ensure their processes are as resilient as they possibly can be to the growing threat of fraud."
Acpo pointed to research by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau which suggested fraudsters prepare for summer music festivals through the autumn and winter months.
It said a common method used by scammers was to claim the cost of flights had risen and demand more money.
If the buyer tried to cancel, a "cancellation" fee would be added, even though in many cases no flights had ever been booked by the fraudsters, Acpo said.
In the festival season fraudsters would typically produce a certificate of authentication to persuade music fans to hand over their money.
Thursday sees the start of a week-long police campaign to target the criminals in "hotspots" around the country.
CCTV footage shows the three men attacking a pedestrian in Borough Market before charging at armed officers. The men are then shot dead.
It comes after police investigating Saturday's attack - which left eight people dead - made three fresh arrests during raids in east London.
In total, 17 people have been arrested and five remain in custody.
Police have named Youssef Zaghba, a 22-year-old Moroccan-Italian man who lived in east London, Khuram Butt, 27, from Barking, and Rachid Redouane, 30, who also lived in Barking, as the men who carried out the attack.
The three men drove into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing people in Borough Market.
The new footage - which first emerged on social media - shows police shooting dead the men within seconds of arriving in Borough Market.
Police have been praised for ending the attack within eight minutes of the first 999 call.
The video shows a person walking into shot, before being chased and apparently being stabbed by the three men.
While the attack is ongoing, armed police arrive, prompting the three men to then charge at officers. However, the three men are shot dead within seconds.
Armed officers can then be seen examining the bodies of the men, who were wearing fake suicide vests.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has said 46 shots had been fired at the three attackers by eight police officers - five from the Met and three from the City of London force.
The footage makes both compelling and harrowing viewing. The first grainy images show a man being set upon by the three attackers as he walks along one of the narrow roads around Borough Market.
They repeatedly stab him, bundling him to the ground, before a police car arrives. Armed officers, guns raised, get out of the car. Six seconds later the attackers are dead.
The speed, professionalism, nerve and expertise shown by the firearms officers shines through in the video. Their actions undoubtedly saved many lives.
Separately, CCTV footage of Butt, Redouane and Zaghba apparently meeting at about 00:10 BST on Monday 29 May - five days before the attack - has also been published by the Times.
The film shows the men meeting outside a gym in Barking, according to the newspaper.
It shows Redouane throwing his mobile phone on the floor and walking off camera with the other two attackers, for about 10 minutes, before returning to collect his mobile.
The footage has been passed to police, the Times added.
On Wednesday night, two men were arrested on a street in Ilford, the Metropolitan Police said.
A 27-year-old man was held on suspicion of the preparation of terrorist acts. A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs, and was later further arrested over firearms allegations.
A third man, aged 29, was arrested on suspicion of the preparation of terrorist acts at an address in Ilford.
The other two men arrested were held under the Terrorism Act earlier on Wednesday - a 30-year-old detained in Ilford and a 27-year-old in Barking.
Twelve people arrested after the day after attack have been released without charge.
NHS England said 29 patients remained in London hospitals, with 10 in a critical condition.
A British Transport Police officer who was seriously injured after confronting the three attackers armed only with a baton has said he did "everything I could" to fight them off.
The officer, who has not been named, has been praised for his bravery, and added: "I want to say sorry to the families that lost their loved ones. I'm so sorry I couldn't do more."
The family of French national Alexandre Pigeard, a waiter at Boro Bistro, in Borough Market, said he was stabbed to death while working on the restaurant's terrace.
"Alexandre was a marvellous son, a perfect older brother and a radiant young man," they said in a statement. "All his friends praised his kindness, his good humour and his generosity."
On Wednesday, police searching for French national Xavier Thomas, 45, said they had recovered a body from the Thames, bringing the death toll to eight.
Mr Thomas's next of kin have been told, police said, but formal identification has not yet taken place.
Meanwhile, the prime minister of Spain said Ignacio EcheverrÃa, 39, who died defending a woman with his skateboard, should be given a posthumous award - the Silver Cross of the Order of Civil Merit. Mr EcheverrÃa was from Madrid and was working for HSBC bank in London.
The others killed in the attack have been named as Sebastien Belanger, 36, from France, Australians Sara Zelenak and Kirsty Boden, Canadian national Chrissy Archibald, and James McMullan, from Hackney, London.
It earlier emerged that Khuram Butt was known to police and MI5 in 2015, but the Metropolitan Police said there had been no evidence of a plot.
Butt had appeared in a Channel 4 documentary The Jihadis Next Door, broadcast last year.
An Italian police source confirmed to the BBC that Youssef Zaghba had been placed on a watch list, which is shared with many countries, including the UK.
In March 2016, Italian officers stopped him at Bologna airport and found IS-related materials on his mobile phone. He was then stopped from continuing his journey to Istanbul.
But speaking at her house in Bologna, Zaghba's mother told the BBC she believed her son was radicalised in the UK.
Rachid Redouane claimed to be a Moroccan-Libyan. He married a British woman, 38-year-old Charisse O'Leary, in Dublin in 2012.
His ex-wife said she was "deeply shocked, saddened and numbed" by his actions.
In 2002, Lee Balkwell, 33, was found trapped under the drum of the concrete mixer lorry with multiple injuries consistent with his being crushed.
His father Les Balkwell believes his son was murdered and has criticised the police investigation into the death.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority made the £12,000 award "after considering all the evidence".
Lee Balkwell was found dead in a lane, at South Ockendon, in July 2002. He had been cleaning out a cement mixer.
An inquest jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing through gross negligence.
Last year, Lee Balkwell's employer, Simon Bromley, was convicted of failing to ensure the health and safety of his employee but was cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority said it had considered all the evidence and based its decision on a clause in its constitution that it was "not necessary for the assailant to have been convicted of a criminal offence in connection with the injury".
"On the balance of probabilities falls this action within the scope of the scheme," its spokesman said.
Les Balkwell told the BBC: "It is like another chip out of the wall. The truth seems to be coming out. The fight will go on.
"My family wants to see closure. It is such a drain on them."
Essex Police has no plans to reopen the investigation, a spokesman said.
In 2012, an Independent Police Complaints Commission report found eight senior officers made 25 errors in a "seriously flawed" investigation. It found no evidence of corruption.
One building in Taipei, the capital, houses most embassies, and the International Co-operation and Development Fund is located on the upper floors.
Taiwan has long used development aid and assistance to keep its handful of diplomatic partners onside but its giant mainland neighbour is now an economic superpower.
The island's allies are being picked off by China in what Taiwan derisively calls a "diplomatic money game".
Sao Tome and Principe, one of Africa's smallest states, cut ties in December. Panama, a longstanding partner, has now done the same.
Analysts say more Central American nations could follow.
Taiwan's diplomatic isolation dates back to 1971, when the United Nations switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing's People's Republic of China, and most countries followed suit. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province and aims to deny it the trappings of a sovereign state.
Still, in the early 1990s, there were about 30 countries choosing to recognise Taipei over Beijing. That number is now down to 19, plus the Holy See.
The competition between Taiwan and China for the affections of small states mostly located in Central America, the Caribbean and the Pacific has been fierce.
Alliances have often switched back and forth, as a product of domestic politics and in response to economic incentives.
Take the tiny Caribbean island of St Lucia. It first recognised Taiwan in 1984, under conservative Prime Minister John Compton. But when the St Lucia Labour Party took power in 1997, the government switched to China.
Yet, in 2007, Mr Compton was back in power and restored ties with Taiwan, infuriating Beijing, which had funded large infrastructure projects.
The foreign minister at the time is reported to have suggested that one should "support those who give you the most". Taiwan subsequently built a national tennis centre, among other projects.
Although the Labour Party won the election in 2011, it did not, as expected, switch back to China. Prime Minister Kenny Anthony said his country could not continue to behave "as if our sovereignty is for sale to the highest bidder".
St Lucia is not the only country to have swung like a pendulum between Taipei and Beijing: The Gambia, Liberia and Nicaragua are among others who have done the same.
How far China goes in trying to win over Taiwan's allies also depends on who is in power across the strait.
From 2000-2008, when the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was in charge, Taiwan lost many friends to China: Costa Rica, Senegal, Chad, Grenada, Dominica, Macedonia, Vanuatu, Liberia and Malawi.
China spent big: Costa Rica received a new stadium reportedly worth more than $100m (£78m).
It stopped pinching Taiwan's allies for a period beginning in 2008 when the China-friendly Ma Ying-jeou of the Kuomintang (KMT) became president
"In that period Taiwan stopped trying to buy new allies but it also developed closer ties to the PRC," said Dr Dafydd Fell, a Taiwan expert at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). A key part of that was an understanding that both sides accepted the "1992 Consensus" - that there is one China but that what this means is interpreted differently.
That changed after President Tsai Ing-wen of the DPP took office in May 2016. She doesn't accept the 1992 Consensus "and so Beijing is looking at ways to punish Taiwan", Dr Fell says. These include reducing tourism and targeting its diplomatic allies.
"I think it is likely we will see more switches in the near future."
And who will be next?
Colin Alexander, the author of a book examining China and Taiwan's policies in Central America, says El Salvador or Nicaragua could turn away from Taipei.
El Salvador, he says, actually tried to recognise China during its diplomatic détente with Taiwan under President Ma and was rebuffed. The game has now changed.
Taiwanese President Tsai visited El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua in January to bolster her alliances after then President-elect Donald Trump caused outcry in Beijing by accepting a congratulatory phone call from her in early December.
In between the phone call and Ms Tsai's trip, Sao Tome and Principe flipped.
In Latin America and the Caribbean: Belize, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent & the Grenadines, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Paraguay, Honduras and Saint Lucia
In Africa: Burkina Faso and Swaziland
In Europe: The Holy See
In the Pacific: Kiribati, Nauru, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, the Marshall Islands and Palau
For Central American countries that have become democracies, recognising China is not just about money, Mr Alexander says. They also want to be seen as "diplomatically normal", instead of global outliers.
At the same time, he adds: "If you're from a small Central American Republic and you have Taiwan as your ally, Taiwan treats you as a princess really and you get a lot of benefits from it.
"If you move over to China, you're just another country that recognises China".
What is the 'One China' policy?
Some of Taiwan's allies have touted their resistance to Chinese largesse and "dollar diplomacy".
Burkina Faso and Swaziland are Taiwan's last remaining partners in Africa, a continent into which China has poured billions in recent years.
"We get outrageous proposals telling us: 'If you sign with Beijing we'll offer you $50bn or even more,'" Burkina Faso Foreign Minister Alpha Barry told Bloomberg in January. "Taiwan is our friend and our partner. We're happy and we see no reason to reconsider the relationship."
Dilmei Olkeriil, the ambassador who represents the north Pacific nation of Palau in Taiwan, told the BBC she was "surprised" and "saddened" that Panama had switched to China. Ambassadors in Taiwan, she added, have a "close relationship".
She said it was unlikely her country would turn its back on Taiwan too, as most people support it.
These formal diplomatic relationships are still seen as significant for Taiwan, but are not as important as they used to be in general public opinion, says Dr Fell.
The main value is symbolic: leaders can make diplomatic visits and countries can speak up for Taiwan at the UN and other international organisations.
But ultimately, the relationships Taiwan has with major powers, like the United States - "which are called unofficial but which function as the same as official diplomatic ties" - are more important, he says.
The island has dozens of trade offices around the world that function as de-facto embassies.
The current focus on wresting small states away from Taiwan's embrace may also be counterproductive to Beijing's long-term goals, according to Dr Fell.
"Taiwanese find their international isolation very frustrating", he says, "and Chinese pressure tends to reinforce Taiwanese national identity."

Strauss said Pietersen, who recorded a career-best 355 not out for Surrey on Tuesday, has not been banned from future England action.
But, in a 40-minute meeting with Strauss on Monday, he was told he would not be considered until after the summer's home Ashes series against Australia.
The 34-year-old was sacked by England in February 2014 but is playing county cricket in a bid to return to the Test team.
Strauss, speaking for the first time since his England and Wales Cricket Board appointment and after the sacking of head coach Peter Moores, said:
"Now is the time for us to be really open about the Kevin Pietersen situation - people have been running away from it for years," said Strauss.
"The truth about Kevin is that he is a phenomenal cricketer. But over months and years, trust has eroded between Kevin Pietersen and the ECB.
"There is a massive trust issue between me and Kevin.
"While there is no trust between Kevin and the ECB, it is our opinion he cannot feature in our short-term plans. Long-term, who knows?"
Speaking on Monday, before his meeting with Strauss, Pietersen said he was "desperate" to return to the international game, adding: "Personal differences have got nothing to do with what the public wants. The public just wants to see the England team winning.
"What more can I do? All I can do is score runs. I'm incredibly proud of how I played under pressure."
Pietersen reduced his Indian Premier League commitments this year to play for Surrey after incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves suggested an international return might be possible if he were to score runs in domestic cricket.
But Strauss's assertion that the South Africa-born batsman will not be considered for selection could signal the end of a career that took in 8,181 runs and 23 centuries in 104 Tests.
Pietersen last played for England in the final Test of a 5-0 Ashes series defeat in Australia in January 2014.
He was sacked a month later and released an autobiography in October criticising several players, saying there was a "bullying culture" in the squad.
In July 2014, Strauss apologised for making an offensive remark about his former team-mate during a live television broadcast.
Andrew Strauss offered Pietersen a role as an advisor on a board to improve the one-day side, which was turned down.
He said: "Kevin has got brilliant experience in one-day cricket and I think it would be madness not to try to get that information out of his head and help us form a strategy for English cricket going forwards.
"That's why I asked him to be on that board. Ultimately that may be an opportunity for us to start rebuilding trust."
Peter Moores was dismissed as England head coach on the same day Strauss was appointed as director of cricket.
It was Moores' second spell in charge of the team, which finished with a dismal World Cup performance and a drawn Test series in the West Indies.
"That was a very tough decision to take," Strauss told BBC Sport. "He's a very popular coach and has got some really strong attributes as a coach.
"I personally think he's got some limitations in the international arena around strategy and tactics and I think we saw that in the World Cup to a certain extent.
"But he was undermined greatly by the fact he had done the job before. He needed time and space to take the England cricket team forward and he was never going to get that."
Former Australia seamer Jason Gillespie, 40, is the current Yorkshire head coach and led the club from Division Two to the County Championship title within three years.
Strauss confirmed he is "one of the candidates" to replace Moores and said he wants someone in place in time for the Ashes, which begin in July.
"It is one of the top two coaching jobs in world cricket and there are a lot of ambitious coaches who want to prove they can cut the mustard at this level."
Strauss said Alastair Cook would remain as captain for the summer, with Joe Root "stepping up" to vice captain and Eoin Morgan remaining in charge of the one-day side.
"Alastair Cook has my full backing to lead the side into the Ashes this summer. He has had a brutally tough last 18 months, with his own form and one-day captaincy.
"Selection is something we need to look at. There have been times where there are issues around responsibility and accountability - I want to look at that this summer."
Strauss said he would not play a "tracksuit" role, instead leaving the coaching of the side to Moores' replacement.
He added that it would be his job to "make sure we are not off pace for the next World Cup".
"I am not going to be in the dressing room. That is not my role. The captain and the coach will be in control."
ECB chief executive Tom Harrison echoed Strauss's opinion on Pietersen.
"All I can add to what Andrew said is that we are aligned on the decision; myself, Andrew and Colin Graves.
"It has been a tricky issue that has been interpreted in different ways by different people.
"We are taking this as a chance to move forward with a new leadership with a real excitement about where English cricket can go."
Jonathan Agnew on BBC Radio 5 live: "Anyone who will have seen Andrew Strauss talk today very strongly about the issue of trust, will be of no doubt that Kevin Pietersen will not play for England again."
Piers Morgan on BBC Radio 5 live: "I spoke to Kevin this morning and he's incredibly upset, he believes he's been deeply misled. Remove the personal, vindictive politics in the selection process and allow the best player to play for England again."
Former England bowler Steve Harmison told BBC Sport: "I never expected Kevin to come back. I thought the decision to sack Kevin was baffling at the time. But I don't think this decision is baffling, because once you've sacked someone it is hard to come back.
"Andrew mentions the word trust, and I think that can work both ways. There were reports in the papers after their meeting on Monday and that can only have come from one place."
Former England and Kent batsman Ed Smith on Kevin Pietersen: "Fans are not divided. Social media is divided and social media is a poor reflection of cricket."
On Andrew Strauss: "Do you want someone to be interesting or good at their job? There's a massive misconception that the way to connect with the cricket public is by saying a lot."
Pietersen's Surrey team-mate Kumar Sangakkara: "In cricket it's not about who you like, but who adds the most value to the team. Whether it's the right or wrong decision remains to be seen with the future of English cricket."
Using techniques normally employed by biologists, academics studied links between stories from around the world and found some had prehistoric roots.
They found some tales were older than the earliest literary records, with one dating back to the Bronze Age.
The stories had been thought to date back to the 16th and 17th Centuries.
Durham University anthropologist Dr Jamie Tehrani, said Jack and the Beanstalk was rooted in a group of stories classified as The Boy Who Stole Ogre's Treasure, and could be traced back to when Eastern and Western Indo-European languages split more than 5,000 years ago.
Analysis showed Beauty And The Beast and Rumpelstiltskin to be about 4,000 years old.
And a folk tale called The Smith And The Devil, about a blacksmith selling his soul in a pact with the Devil in order to gain supernatural abilities, was estimated to go back 6,000 years to the Bronze Age.
A blacksmith strikes a deal with a malevolent supernatural being, such as the Devil, Death or a genie.
The blacksmith exchanges his soul for the power to weld any materials together.
He then uses this power to stick the villain to an immovable object, such as a tree, to renege on his side of the bargain.
This basic plot is stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world, from India to Scandinavia, according to the research.
The study said this tale could be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European society when metallurgy likely existed and there was archaeological and genetic evidence of massive territorial expansions by nomadic tribes from the Pontic steppe (the northern shores of the Black Sea) between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago.
However, John Lindow, a folklorist at the University of California, Berkeley, casts doubt on the theory in Science News, saying the Proto-Indo-European vocabulary for working with metal was limited and the word "smith" might not have existed.
If true, that would mean the version of "The Smith and the Devil" used in the study may not be that old, he said.
Dr Tehrani, who worked with folklorist Sara Graca Da Silva, from the New University of Lisbon, said: "We find it pretty remarkable these stories have survived without being written.
"They have been told since before even English, French and Italian existed. They were probably told in an extinct Indo-European language."
In the 19th Century, authors the Brothers Grimm believed many of the fairy tales they popularised, including Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White, were rooted in a shared cultural history dating back to the birth of the Indo-European language family.
Later thinkers challenged that view, saying some stories were much younger and had been passed into oral tradition, having first been written down by writers from the 16th and 17th Centuries.
Dr Jamie Tehrani said: "We can come firmly down on the side of Wilhelm Grimm.
"Some of these stories go back much further than the earliest literary record and indeed further back than Classical mythology - some versions of these stories appear in Latin and Greek texts - but our findings suggest they are much older than that."
The study, which was published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, employed phylogenetic methods to investigate the relationships between population histories and cultural phenomena, such as languages, marriage practices, political institutions, material culture and music.
It also used a "tree" of Indo-European languages to trace the descent of shared tales to see how far they could be demonstrated to go back in time.
Dr Tehrani explained: "We used a toolkit that we borrowed from evolutionary biology called phylogenetic comparative methods. This enables you to reconstruct the past in the absence of physical evidence.
"We've excavated information about our story-telling history, using information that's been preserved through the mechanism of inheritance, so in that sense they embody their own history.
"By comparing the folk tales that we find in different cultures and knowing something about the historical relationships among those cultures, we can make inferences about the stories that would have been told by their common ancestors," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Guy Tomlinson, 37, of Norfolk Walk, Leicester, was driving a Peugeot 206 when it collided with a tipper truck in Leicester on 9 March.
David Anger and Christopher Needham, who were both passengers in the car, died at the scene, on Fosse Road South.
At Leicester Crown Court Tomlinson admitted six driving offences. He will be sentenced in January.

He pleaded guilty to two charges of death by dangerous driving, two charges of causing death by driving while uninsured and two counts of causing death by driving while unlicensed.
Two people in the lorry suffered minor injuries during the crash and damage was caused to a shop on the corner of Upperton Road.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been investigating the crash.
Some of the software showed an animation or messages. Others invited the infected user to play a game.
Many of the viruses were created by "happy hackers" rather than organised criminals, said cybersecurity expert and curator Mikko Hypponen.
The malware all dates from the 1980s and 1990s.
The versions online have all been stripped of their destructive capabilities, but show the messages they would have displayed within emulator windows.
Much of the collection is mischievous and colourful in nature, but there was also more sinister malware around.
"I only chose interesting viruses," Mr Hypponen said of his picks.
His personal favourite is a virus called Casino, which overwrote a crucial part of the computer's file system but took a copy of personal files and then offered the user the opportunity to win them back in a game of Jackpot.
"Casino was a real problem," Mr Hypponen, who works at security firm F-Secure, told the BBC.
"At the time the advice was, you lose nothing by playing. In the early 1990s very few people had back-ups so you had lost your files anyway."
He said he was surprised by the number of people who felt nostalgic about the old malware.
"Most of the malware we analyse today is coming from organised criminal groups... and intelligence agencies," Mr Hyponnen added.
"Old school happy hackers who used to write viruses for fun are nowhere to be seen."
The village of Susiya - home to some 350 people - has become the focus of an international campaign, drawing in European diplomats, the US state department and pro-Palestinian activists.
"Look, there are families living here in tents. There's a cave, water cisterns and places where we put our sheep," Susiya resident Nasser Nawaja points out. "It's a simple Palestinian life."
But daily existence here has long been caught up in a complicated political situation. Now, for the third time in three decades, villagers are facing the threat of another forced displacement.
In May, the Israeli High Court denied a Palestinian request for an injunction to stop Israel's plans to destroy their homes.
The villagers have deeds to the land going back to the Ottoman era, but the Israeli authorities say their current structures were built without the necessary permits.
A senior officer from the defence ministry's administrative body in the West Bank warned that efforts to remove the villagers could begin any day, even though a legal appeal is due to be heard on 3 August.
The department said he had met Susiya's Palestinian inhabitants to "examine alternative solutions".
In the meantime, Susiya's residents are watching and waiting.
"Everyone in the village is living on their nerves," Mr Nawaja, 33, said. "We're afraid the Israelis might come at any time. We panic every time we hear cars approaching."
The rudimentary Palestinian homes in this harsh landscape are squeezed between the mainly brick-built houses in the Israeli settlement of Susiya and a site, run by settlers, where ruins of an ancient synagogue were found in the 1970s.
Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Susiya falls within the 61% of the West Bank known as Area C, which the 1993 Israel-Palestinian interim peace accords placed under full Israeli control.
In 1986, local Palestinians were expelled from their homes on the archaeological site. The army then moved them again in 2001 after Palestinians killed an Israeli from the neighbouring settlement.
After the residents moved to the current location on their agricultural land, they say they tried to get building permission but it was denied.
Critics say in the vast majority of cases the Israeli civil administration, the body which implements government policy in the West Bank, does not approve Palestinian building applications in Area C.
Now Israeli and foreign activists are camping out in Susiya around the clock to try to prevent demolition orders from being carried out, and there is also diplomatic pressure against such a move.
"We're closely following developments… We strongly urge the Israeli authorities to refrain from carrying out any demolitions in the village," US state department spokesman John Kirby said in a rare public statement on the issue this month.
He added that any demolitions or evictions "would be harmful and provocative".
In turn, European Union foreign ministers issued a strongly worded statement urging Israel to abandon plans for the "forced transfer of population and demolition of Palestinian housing and infrastructure".
European donations help sustain Susiya village, which is not connected to mains electricity or public water supplies.
The Susiya case has taken on a special significance because of current tensions between Israel and both the US and EU.
They view any action against Palestinians in the context of continuing settlement growth and wider problems of demolitions and displacement affecting Palestinians and Bedouin in the occupied territories and Israel.
At the same time Israel's right-wing coalition government is being pressed by its supporters in the settler movement.
They point out there is now no legal obstacle to prevent buildings in Susiya being demolished and that some Israeli settler outposts deemed unlawful by the government have previously been removed.
"This is 100% a test case for the Israeli government - whether it stands up to the unending pressure placed on us, not only by the EU but now by the state department of the US, Israel's closest ally," says Ari Briggs of Regavim, an Israeli legal advocacy group.
"It is only going to get worse if Israel bows to the pressure today. Israel is a sovereign country and it has to say: 'We have interests as well and we have to follow those interests.'"
Back at Susiya, the head of the village council meets a delegation of members of the European Parliament who have arrived for a tour. Meanwhile local youngsters play football with a group of activists.
Seventy-year-old Mohammed Nawaja looks on. "Each time we've had to rebuild we've started with nothing," he says. "I must trust in God that my grandchildren won't have to live the same experience."
Ho Van Lang and his 82-year-old father reportedly shunned contact with the outside world after three family members were killed by a landmine.
For most of their time in the jungle their whereabouts was unknown.
They were discovered living in dense foliage in central Quang Ngai province and were barely able to communicate.
Mr Ho was said by officials to only know a few words of the local Cor dialect.
Vietnamese media reported that Mr Ho's brother succeeded in tracking the pair down 20 years ago, but had not been able to persuade them to return to modern society.
Local media initially reported that the 82-year-old's wife had been killed by the mine, but it subsequently emerged that it was in fact his mother and her two grandchildren.
While in the jungle, the pair wore only loincloths and used a homemade axe to chop down trees. They survived on corn, fruits and cassava roots from the jungle.
They lived in a tree house, five metres above ground, where they kept arrows for hunting and knives for killing animals.
The older man kept his military trousers neatly folded in a corner as well as the little red coat his son was thought to have been wearing when they fled.
A party of local people who discovered them were reported to be startled by their wild appearance and outlandish gestures.
They reported their find to the leaders of a local commune, who deployed a team to track them down.
After a five-hour search on Thursday the team located the father and son in their tree house.
Officials say that Mr Ho fled to the jungle after being traumatised by the mine explosion.
The pair are now being given medical checks as the first step in the process of reintegrating them into society.
No, it was another headline inside that summed it up - a love song to the brutality of the home pack. Below a picture of their heavy brigade demolishing another Scottish scrum, "Merci les gros!" captured the mood fairly well. "Les Bleus ont su abandonner leur projet de jeu ambitieux pour revenir aux basiques et enforcer...".
You didn't need to speak the lingo to get the message. France had ditched their notions of expansive rugby and replaced it with biff, grunt and as much physicality as they could muster, which was plenty. The enforcers won.
Having lost so many games for so many years, France had reached desperation point. They had to beat the Scots. And the best way they knew how was to bully the life out of them.
What was instructive was the Scottish mindset afterwards. It was one of disappointment to the point of dejection and devastation, not just among the players but the fans too.
We should think about this. Scotland were missing their first-choice props. They then lost their captain, their vice-captain and their vice-captain's replacement very early in the game. All the while, their scrum got obliterated.
In past years, had any or all of these things befallen Scotland then everybody would have been watching from behind the couch. The belief in this team's capacity to win has rocketed though.
Despite massive odds, they were close to pulling it off. As they sought to come back at the death, their decision-making became ragged and their composure was lost, but they were still alive. They had no right to be given what had happened to them, but they were.
Scotland were hanging in there because, a slapstick Finn Russell conversion apart, they made their few chances in the game go a very long way. Their second try wasn't even a chance - it was a bit of opportunism that is becoming the hallmark of this team, part of the reason why they are so exciting to watch.
They are so quick to recognise an opening now and so efficient at executing.
When Tommy Seymour galloped up the right wing, got the better of Scott Spedding and then found Tim Swinson running the most fantastic support line, it was a try that dropped out of the Parisian sky. And it put Scotland ahead.
It was a trippy moment. At that point, Scotland had no business being ahead. The French must have wondered what on earth was going on out there.
Scotland had lost Greig Laidlaw, John Barclay and John Hardie to injury by then. They had already conceded three scrum penalties and one scrum free-kick. They had precious little ball to play with.
Not enough possession, not enough territory and yet they had the lead. In previous years, they'd have been 15 points behind in those circumstances.
That conversion was a calamity. Sure, Scotland lost by six points, so on the face of it, it didn't matter. But psychologically surely it did, for France as much as Scotland.
Not long afterwards. Russell put a restart out on the full. We can't ever know for sure if the miss was still in his head - he will say no - but it was untypical of him.
France had been given a two-point let-off and things like that galvanise a team. Scotland were in the business of stripping away France's self-belief and getting their crowd whistling their derision - and the Swinson try against the odds was getting the job done nicely.
Can you imagine the discussion behind the French posts? "We're killing these guys in the scrum, so why are we losing? What is happening here?" Then the miss and the boost it would have given the hosts. It wasn't the difference between victory and defeat, but it was a small part of why it happened.
Another, far chunkier part, was the scrum. Six scrum penalties and one scrum free-kick were conceded on Sunday on top of further scrum problems against Ireland the week before.
Referees are watching for this now. Scotland have a bad reputation.
If a scrum hits the deck against Wales, who do you think will be penalised more often than not? A Welsh scrum that's been operating well, or a Scottish scrum that's been going backwards and down? These things matter.
Vern Cotter has had to deal with huge upset in this area. Since the World Cup in 2015 and through to the Six Nations in 2016, Alasdair Dickinson and WP Nel were the coach's first-choice props - and they were formidable. Not only had they brought stability back to the scrum, but they had big engines too. They were the rocks upon which Cotter was rebuilding Scotland.
They're both out through injury. So is Edinburgh's Rory Sutherland, who came off the bench in Scotland's final game of last year's Six Nations in Dublin.
Of the others - Ryan Grant went to the World Cup, but his career has stagnated badly and he's now trying to rediscover himself with Worcester, Jon Welsh also went to the World Cup but he's out of favour despite being a regular with Newcastle and Moray Low is out of the picture as well, as something of a bit-part player with Exeter.
Scotland cannot afford to have three of their frontline props all injured at the same time. Their brilliance in attack will mean that they will have a chance in most games, but it's hard to plug those holes when it's the likes of the French coming at you with only one thing in mind - physical dominance, death by scrummaging.
The fact that Scotland came within six points was a tribute to their finishing ability and the size of their heart. They will be a match for everybody in this Six Nations.
The suspicion, and frustration, is that, if they could only pick from a full deck, they could well be contenders.
Ava's seizures can last anything from two minutes to a couple of hours and vary in intensity.
"This time last year our little girl had a cardiac arrest after 16 seizures," Vera recalled.
Her daughter's seizures have reduced significantly since October when she began taking a legal form of cannabis oil known as CBD or Charlotte's Web.
"The CBD oil has demonstrated in our own home the effectiveness of the medicinal cannabis," she said.
"Her seizures have reduced by 80% to 90% after she began taking the CBD.
"She had seven seizures in October in total and our daughter previously would have had seven seizures in a couple of hours.
"This time last year between October and December we were in hospital continuously bar about five or six days in those couple of months. We haven't seen the inside of a hospital since September this year."
Clinical trials have indicated that Dravet syndrome can respond well to THC, a component of cannabis.
Ms Twomey had previously petitioned the Republic of Ireland's legislature to legalise the use of medicinal cannabis but to no avail.
In November, she set off from her home in the remote village of Aghabullogue with the intention of walking to the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) in Dublin to highlight the issue.
During her 150-mile trip, she begged the Irish health minister to listen to her in a Facebook post.
Simon Harris got in touch and subsequently announced plans to review the government's policy on medicinal cannabis.
On Thursday night, the Dáil (Irish parliament) passed a bill to make cannabis available in the Republic of Ireland for medicinal use.
Ms Twomey, who was in Dublin to see the bill being passed, said she was "delighted".
"We were so happy that so many of the TDs from all the different parties had something positive to say about this bill and that they all came together and really help the people who are out there that really need this medicine," she said.
"We'd like to get it as soon as we possibly could but we need it done right as well, so I hope they're not going to be taking too long to deliver the legislation to us, but we're thrilled that we're another step closer to getting the legislation passed. There seems to be a great will to get this done for people out there."
She said her daughter had improved so much in the past few months, but was hopeful she could improve further if she had access to THD.
"It has given her a quality of life that she didn't have before," she said.
"We can do more normal things now, we can go for a little journey in the car, we can go for a little walk.
"Before it was worry, worry, worry, every single moment. Obviously we're still concerned about her and monitoring her carefully all the time but it's definitely a better standard of life of her.
"She's happier and in less pain and sleeping better.
"Her appetite is also better and in school her teachers say she's getting on better with her classmates and teachers so every aspect of Ava's life has improved.
"The medicinal cannabis won't just give Ava back a life, but it will give us back a life that's more free."
Rory McAllister's fine free-kick put Peterhead in front before Paul Woods' penalty levelled things midway through the first half.
McIntosh smashed home what would prove to be the winner five minutes later.
Jamie McKernon was sent off late on as Peterhead set up a final against either Rangers or St Mirren.
McAllister opened the scoring on 17 minutes when he curled a free-kick into the bottom corner.
Woods was given the chance to regain parity for Queen's just five minutes later when McIntosh brought down Sean Burns in the penalty area. The midfielder slotted home the spot-kick to notch his seventh goal of the season.
McIntosh redeemed himself on 27 minutes when he tapped home Kevin Dzierzawski's free-kick for the decisive goal.
The Spiders lost McKernon to a red card at the end of the game as Peterhead held on to make the first final in their 124-year history.
Hundreds suffered symptoms consistent with reaction to a nerve agent after what the opposition and Western powers said was a Syrian government air strike on the area on Tuesday morning.
The Syrian military denied using any chemical agents, while its ally Russia said an air strike hit a rebel depot full of chemical munitions.
Activists and witnesses say warplanes attacked Khan Sheikhoun, about 50km (30 miles) south of the city of Idlib, early on Tuesday, when many people were asleep.
Mariam Abu Khalil, a 14-year-old resident who was awake, told the New York Times that she had seen an aircraft drop a bomb on a one-storey building.
The explosion sent a yellow mushroom cloud into the air that stung her eyes. "It was like a winter fog," she said. She sheltered in her home, but recalled that when people started arriving to help the wounded, "they inhaled the gas and died".
Hussein Kayal, a photographer for the pro-opposition Edlib Media Center (EMC), told the Associated Press that he was awoken by the sound of an explosion at about 06:30 (03:30 GMT). When he reached the scene, there was no smell, he said. He found people lying on the floor, unable to move and with constricted pupils.
Mohammed Rasoul, the head of a charity ambulance service in Idlib, told the BBC that he heard about the attack at about 06:45 and that when his medics arrived 20 minutes later they found people, many of them children, choking in the street.
The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisations (UOSSM), which funds hospitals in rebel-held Syria, said three of its staff in Khan Sheikhoun were affected while treating patients in the streets and had to be rushed to intensive care.
Victims experienced symptoms including redness of the eyes, foaming from the mouth, constricted pupils, blue facial skin and lips, severe shortness of breath and asphyxiation, it added.
A Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) medical team supporting the Bab al-Hawa hospital, near the Turkish border, confirmed similar symptoms in eight patients brought there from Khan Sheikhoun.
Rescue workers and opposition activists posted photos and videos on social media that showed victims exhibiting the symptoms described by doctors, as well as many people who had died.
The EMC posted photos showing what appeared to be at least seven dead children in the back of a pick-up truck. There were no visible traumatic injuries.
Another photo published by the group showed the bodies of at least 14 men, women and children on a street outside a hospital in Khan Sheikhoun.
The opposition-run health directorate in Idlib province - which is almost entirely controlled by rebel fighters and al-Qaeda-linked jihadists - says at least 89 people were killed, including 33 children and 18 women. Another 541 people were injured.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, put the death toll at 86 and said it was likely to rise, with many of the injured in a serious condition in hospital.
It was also not immediately clear whether anyone was killed when Khan Sheikhoun's main hospital was struck by a rocket on Tuesday afternoon.
The source of the projectile was not clear, but the EMC said warplanes had targeted clinics and the headquarters of the Syria Civil Defence, whose rescue workers are known as the White Helmets.
The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the likelihood of a chemical being responsible was "amplified by an apparent lack of external injuries reported in cases showing a rapid onset of similar symptoms, including acute respiratory distress as the main cause of death".
"Some cases appear to show additional signs consistent with exposure to organophosphorus chemicals, a category of chemicals that includes nerve agents."
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) expressed serious concern about the reports and said a fact-finding mission was "in the process of gathering and analysing information from all available sources".
The OPCW will not be able to confirm anything until samples are tested at an accredited laboratory, but a doctor at a hospital in the town of Sarmin who treated some of the casualties believes it was the nerve agent Sarin.
"All the patients had the same symptoms - difficulty in breathing, weakness," Dr Abdulhai Tennari told the BBC. "They had very huge secretions in their respiratory tracts, which induced suffocation."
He noted that when the most serious cases were given an antidote for Sarin poisoning, atropine, their conditions became stable and they survived.
MSF said the patients' symptoms were "consistent with exposure to a neurotoxic agent such as Sarin". Its medical teams also reported that victims smelled of bleach, suggesting they had been exposed to chlorine as well.
On Thursday, Turkey's health ministry said the initial results of post mortems carried out on three victims under WHO supervision suggested that they "were exposed to a chemical substance (Sarin)". They suffered "pulmonary oedema [build-up of fluid], increase in the lung weight and blood in the lungs", it added.
A Syrian military statement published by state media categorically denied the use of "any chemical or toxic substance" in Khan Sheikhoun on Tuesday, adding that the military "has never used them, anytime, anywhere, and will not do so in the future."
Russia, which has carried out air strikes in support of President Assad since 2015, meanwhile said the Syrian air force had struck Khan Sheikhoun "between 11:30am and 12:30pm local time" on Tuesday, but that the target had been "a large terrorist ammunition depot" on its eastern outskirts.
"On the territory of the depot, there were workshops which produced chemical warfare munitions," it added, without providing any evidence. "Terrorists had been transporting chemical munitions from this largest arsenal to the territory of Iraq."
The ministry said the chemical munitions had also been used during the final stages of the battle for control of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo last autumn, asserting that the symptoms of the victims were "the same".
The US says its military radar systems monitored a Syrian Air Force fixed-wing aircraft take off from Shayrat airbase in Homs province on Tuesday morning and fly over Khan Sheikhoun on two occasions - at 06:37 (03:37 GMT) and 06:46.
US military officials told NBC News that the radar systems picked up flashes on the ground, indicating that ordnance had been dropped on the rebel-held town about the same time that the first casualties with breathing difficulties were reported.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former commanding officer of the British Armed Forces Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Regiment, said Russia's assertion that the strikes had hit rebel chemical weapons were "pretty fanciful".
"Axiomatically, if you blow up Sarin, you destroy it," he told the BBC.
Experts say the explosion resulting from an air strike on a chemical weapons facility would most likely incinerate any agents. Sarin and other nerve agents are also usually stocked in a "binary manner", which means they are kept as two distinct chemical precursors that are combined just before use, either manually or automatically inside a weapon when launched.
"It's very clear it's a Sarin attack," Mr de Bretton-Gordon added. "The view that it's an al-Qaeda or rebel stockpile of Sarin that's been blown up in an explosion, I think is completely unsustainable and completely untrue."
He also noted that chlorine was the only chemical believed to have been used in attacks in Aleppo over the past year.
A recent report by Human Rights Watch said government helicopters had dropped bombs containing chlorine on rebel-held areas of Aleppo on at least eight occasions between 17 November and 13 December, killing nine civilians.
Hasan Haj Ali, commander of the Free Idlib Army rebel group, called Russia's claim a "lie" and said rebel fighters did not have the capability to produce nerve agents.
The UK's representative to the UN, Matthew Rycroft, also told the Security Council that his country had seen nothing to suggest that any non-state actors in Syria had the sort of chemical weapons that would have been consistent with the symptoms.
The French envoy, Francois Delattre, meanwhile said there was "no fire" after the air strike, even though a strike on an ammunition depot "would have caused a fire".
It was also not clear why there was five hours' difference between the time of the strike reported by multiple witnesses and that stated by Russia.
Moscow's short account gave no evidence for its suggestion that a group was sending chemical weaponry to Iraq. So-called Islamic State, which has used the the blister agent sulphur mustard in Syria and Iraq, is not present in Khan Sheikhoun.
Sarin is highly toxic and considered 20 times as deadly as cyanide.
As with all nerve agents, Sarin inhibits the action of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which deactivates signals that cause human nerve cells to fire. This blockage pushes nerves into a continual "on" state. The heart and other muscles - including those involved in breathing - spasm. Sufficient exposure can lead to death via asphyxiation within minutes.
Sarin is almost impossible to detect because it is a clear, colourless and tasteless liquid that has no odour in its purest form. It can also evaporate and spread through the air.
The Syrian government was accused by Western powers of firing rockets filled with Sarin at several rebel-held suburbs of the capital Damascus in August 2013, killing hundreds of people.
President Bashar al-Assad denied the charge, blaming rebel fighters, but he did subsequently agree to destroy Syria's declared chemical arsenal.
Despite that, the OPCW and UN have continued to document the use of chemicals in attacks.
A joint investigation concluded in October that government forces had used chlorine as a weapon at least three times between 2014 and 2015. It also found Islamic State militants had used sulphur mustard in one attack.
The appointment in January raised fears that the circle of US intelligence chiefs was being politicised.
A White House aide said the reshuffle was not a demotion for Mr Bannon, who used to head up Breitbart News.
The aide said Mr Bannon was only given a seat on the NSC to keep an eye on National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired in February.
Steve Bannon: Who is Trump's key adviser?
Trump's 'brain' Steve Bannon emerges from the shadows
The NSC is the main group advising the president on national security and foreign affairs.
Another day, another bit of palace intrigue in the White House. After a week in which presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner's power seemed to grow exponentially, another longtime Trump insider, Steve Bannon, has had his wings clipped.
The White House attempted to brush off news that the senior political adviser is no long a principal on the National Security Council, but the on-background administration explanations ring hollow.
Was Mr Bannon really just there to "de-operationalise" the council after the Obama years or, even more improbably, keep an eye on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn? In January, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer vigorously asserted that Mr Bannon's presence on the council was nothing out of the ordinary.
Washington foreign policy insiders are probably relieved by this development, as they largely considered Mr Bannon a reckless and inexperienced provocateur. They may believe that international affairs "grown-ups" are finally in control.
Although his national security influence may have been curtailed, Mr Bannon will continue to cast a long shadow in this administration. He occupies prime White House real estate, reportedly maintains his top security clearance and, most importantly, almost certainly still has the president's ear on political matters.
The White House did not announce Wednesday's presidential executive order detailing the shake-up - it only came to light in a regulatory filing.
The reshuffle also restores the director of national intelligence, CIA director and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to full participation on the NSC's inner circle, its principals committee.
Critics have branded Mr Bannon - who once managed populist, right-wing Breitbart News - as a white nationalist.
In its 27 January memorandum elevating Mr Bannon, the White House had also downgraded the military chiefs of staff, provoking widespread criticism in Washington's foreign policy and security establishment.
The director of national intelligence and the joint chiefs were advised they only needed to attend NSC meetings when discussions pertained to their areas.
The White House bridled in January at criticism of the Bannon move, pointing out that President Barack Obama's former adviser, David Axelrod, regularly attended NSC meetings.
However, Mr Axelrod was never appointed to the principals committee, as Mr Bannon was.
The Mariners took the lead when Omar Bogle's deep cross was headed home by striker partner Padraig Amond.
Luke Waterfall was sent off before the break for bringing down Amond when he was running in on goal.
The hosts dominated after the restart and Bogle hammered a 20-yard effort just over before Nathan Arnold made the points safe with a powerful shot that gave Imps keeper Paul Farman no chance.
Lincoln are now without a win in their last six league matches while Grimsby have won all of their last six league games.

"It's only three points but it's a nice three points. It's great to send that crowd home happy. Fantastic atmosphere, big build-up and we got the result I think we all wanted.
"I thought the first half was scrappy overall. I thought we looked the more likely (to score).
"The message at half-time was to start passing the ball to each other. I think when we did that, every time we passed the ball we created chances."

David Crompton made the comments in an email days before the publication of the Hillsborough report in September.
He said the families' "version of certain events has become 'the truth' even though it isn't".
Mr Crompton apologised for any offence caused but has not specified what falsehoods he was referring to.
Mr Crompton emailed the force's Assistant Chief Constable Andy Holt and head of media Mark Thompson on 8 September, four days before the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report was released.
The email has been released by the county's police and crime commissioner, Shaun Wright, following a Freedom of Information request.
In the email, Mr Crompton asked for a meeting with Mr Holt and Mr Thompson to discuss launching a web page about Hillsborough with links to documents including previous apologies and memos.
He said: "We then publicise it on Twitter. In effect it amounts to the case for the defence.
"One thing is certain - the Hillsborough Campaign for Justice will be doing their version... in fact their version of certain events has become 'the truth' even though it isn't.
"I just have the feeling that the media 'machine' favours the families and not us, so we need to be a bit more innovative in our response to have a fighting chance otherwise we will just be roadkill."
Police Commissioner Wright said he had informed the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the home secretary of the existence of the email and was "disappointed at the use of such language".
In a statement, Mr Crompton said: "It was never intended to cause any offence and I apologise if it has done so.
"Nor was it intended to challenge the integrity and views of those who lost loved ones in the Hillsborough disaster.
"Following the publication of the panel's report I said in the most forthright terms that I supported the findings and that is still my position."
The BBC asked South Yorkshire Police what Mr Crompton's intentions were at the time he wrote the email and what he thought the families had been untruthful about, but was told he was unavailable for further comment.
Margaret Aspinall, who lost her son James at Hillsborough, said: "I think it's an absolute disgrace.
"We have been used to nasty comments in the past anyway so it doesn't surprise me whatsoever."
She said she did not accept Mr Crompton's apology.
Lesley Bothwell, from Letham in Fife, had been accused of seizing the boy by the body, dragging him from under a table and forcing him onto a chair.

In his break, Bristol illustrator Henry St Leger uses his discarded biscuit and tea-cake wrappers to create mini-masterpieces of dinosaurs.
The tiny and shiny prehistoric creatures even have their own blog.
Mr St Leger, 33, who lives in Yatton, north Somerset said: "I have been making things with the wrappers for as long as I can remember."
"Both my brother Samuel and I used to make little men or dinosaurs whenever we had a Tunnocks caramel wafer.
"The wrapper on a Tunnocks is quite unique in that it's kind of a foil and paper combo and it seems to work beautifully for making things with."
When taking breaks from his job, Mr St Leger began making and leaving the "wrapper raptors" at the nearby Spike Island cafe where staff started keeping them in a collection.
"After that I decided to start blogging them on Tumblr more for my own amusement than anything," he said.
But the models, which range from a menacing pack of T-Rexes to airborne Pterosaurs and even tiny dinosaur eggs, soon created their own fan base among his colleagues.
Mr St Leger said: "Two exceptional Aardman directors Richard Webber and Merlin Crossingham, animator and director extraordinaire Jane Davies-Watkins kindly got involved after seeing the blog and my disgustingly talented brother has done a fair few.
"I specifically do dinosaurs because they are fun to do and it tests my very rusty childhood knowledge of dinosaurs- although I have gone well beyond that now and have to do a bit of research," he said. | Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has told the club's fans to "keep dreaming" after his side celebrated their fairytale Premier League victory.

The RAF gunner from Dunfermline went missing on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
His mother Nicola Urquhart, a police officer herself, said the family was setting up its own phone lines to take calls about his disappearance.
She also said the support from local people had been "overwhelming".
Corrie Mckeague was last seen on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Brentgovel Street, Bury St Edmunds.
In an interview with BBC Radio Scotland's John Beattie programme, his mother said: "It's not the case that he has simply gone Awol, this is being treated as a murder, as a homicide, but without any evidence.
"He walked into a dead end. It's captured on CCTV. You see him walking in at 03.25 and he never comes back out again."
Ms Urquhart said she believed her son may have been taken or gone into a vehicle with a "third party".
Earlier this week, the 23-year-old serviceman's mother criticised the police effort to find her son.
She told John Beattie: "I've already said so much and criticising the police doesn't help bring Corrie back. I am devastated that I've been put in this position.
"I'm a police officer and I am proud to be a police officer. For me being the person that is going to have criticise them, when I need them so much, it's not something that I want to do."
She said that although she had "lost faith", due to a specific incident, she would keep on working with the police because their aim was the same as hers - "to bring Corrie home".
In a statement, Suffolk Police said finding Mr Mckeague "remains a priority".
A spokesman added: "Our focus remains on locating him and discovering what happened. We have committed time, resources and effort to do this."
In the radio interview, Ms Urquhart, who works for Police Scotland, also spoke about how life had been since her son's disappearance.
"There aren't words to explain what it's like. You just have to find a way of getting up each day and just doing something constructive," she said.
"I'm a family liaison officer in my job, and I thought I understood to some degree what people are going through when they've lost someone, or they are missing, but it doesn't come close."
Ms Urquhart said social media had provided great support to her and her family.
"This is something I would have been scared of before. As a police officer, I've told people 'stay away from social media'. But with the right control, this can be such a powerful tool.
"The compassion and kindness people have shown us is just overwhelming".
A campaign to raise money to assist in the search for Mr Mckeague has topped £20,000 in less than two days.
Ms Urquhart said a local couple had also come forward to offer a £50,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to Mr Mckeague being found.
She said the money raised through crowdfunding would help pay for a private investigator and five dedicated phone lines, which family and friends would answer, in a bid to glean more information about where her son may be.
She added: "This is with the hope of assisting the police, as opposed to trying to carry out my own personal investigation.
"If someone knows something, or has a friend or relative that's been acting strangely, give us that information.
"If you've walked past somewhere and thought something just doesn't feel right, phone up the phone number."
"We do have the time and the resources to be able to go out and search every single place and we will, because we will not stop until we get Corrie home." | The mother of missing serviceman Corrie Mckeague has told BBC Scotland she has lost faith in the police but will continue to work with them. | 38,262,016 | 867 | 32 | false |
Economy Secretary Ken Skates has written to AMs saying the sites have been chosen from a list of 46 proposals for more detailed scrutiny.
They include new suburban stations in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Wrexham.
The Deeside industrial park, Llangefni on Anglesey, Bow Street near Aberystwyth and St Clears, Carmarthenshire, are also on the list.
In his letter, Mr Skates said the first part of a three-stage process had whittled the list of 46 down to 12.
"The more costly work on producing detailed cost estimates for a new station and timetable modelling is only carried out on the highest priorities," he wrote.
"The stage two assessment will look in more detail at the strength of the financial and economic case for a new railway station, including advice from Network Rail on deliverability."
Bow Street, Llangefni and St Clears had stations open during the 19th Century railway boom but saw them close in the 1960s in the Beeching cuts, which reduced Britain's rail network by a third.
South Wales Police said the black Ford Focus hit a wall near a McDonald's on Old Road, Briton Ferry, at about 04:00 BST.
The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, as officers had previously searched for the vehicle, following reports of suspicious activity.
Witnesses are asked to call police on 101.
The men who died are believed to have been the only occupants of the car.
Firefighters used cutting equipment to free them, and a rapid response paramedic along with two ambulances attended, but the men were pronounced dead.
Police want to speak to anybody who saw the Ford as it travelled eastbound from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, along the M4, and over Briton Ferry bridge.
They want to contact the occupants of a black vehicle - believed to be a taxi - seen on the Briton Ferry roundabout at the time of the incident.
In a statement, South Wales Police said: "In accordance with force policy and statutory guidance, South Wales Police can confirm the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as prior to the collision, officers were searching for the vehicle after receiving information from Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police that it had been seen acting suspiciously in the Ammanford area."
The charge follows Saturday's Championship game at the John Smith's Stadium, which Burton won 1-0 thanks to Jackson Irvine's stoppage-time winner.

Gal Gadot was formerly in the Israeli army. Military service is compulsory in the country.
The Lebanese interior ministry banned the film hours before its release, on a recommendation from the General Security directorate, reports say.
The nations are officially at war, but have observed a ceasefire since 2006.
A formal request to ban Wonder Woman was first made by the Ministry of Economy and Trade, which oversees a long-standing policy of boycotting Israeli exports, which it considers "enemy attempts to infiltrate our markets".
But the decision took cinemas by surprise. One of the first indications that the ban was approved came from Lebanon's Grand Cinemas chain, which tweeted on Wednesday: "#WonderWoman has been banned in #Lebanon."
Just 12 hours before, it had responded to a follower's concerns, saying: "It won't be banned dear."
The film was due to have had its Lebanese premiere in Beirut the same night.
Film distributor Tony Chacra of the company Joseph Chacra and Sons said that decision was "very frustrating". "The movie has nothing to do with Israel," he told the Reuters news agency.
As news of a possible ban spread, Lebanese users on social media site Reddit said publicity for the movie had been high.
"I am Lebanese and I'm seeing ads for WW everywhere in Beirut. Pretty much everyone of my friends want to see it. This is just a vocal minority [against it]," one user wrote.
Ms Galdot has previously appeared as Wonder Woman in 2016's Batman v Superman, which was shown in Lebanese cinemas.
The Ministry of Economy and Trade had requested that movie be banned on the same basis, but was not successful.
Lebanon and Israel have no diplomatic relations.
Lebanon's Hezbollah movement fought a brief war against Israeli forces in 2006. Since then, a United Nations-monitored ceasefire has largely been observed.
However, there have been occasional border clashes between the two countries, and Israel has targeted Hezbollah with strikes in Syria in recent years.
Syria blamed "terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda" for the blast, which hit a central district near the headquarters of Syria's ruling Baath Party.
TV pictures showed images of bodies, wrecked cars and shattered windows.
The violence comes as Russia and the Arab League say they want to broker direct government-opposition talks.
No group has yet admitted the attack.
The Syrian foreign ministry blamed the bombing on "armed terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda that receive financial and logistic help from abroad".
The militant Islamist al-Nusra Front previously said it had carried out many of the bombings that have rocked Syria since the uprising began in March 2011.
Meanwhile Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described the war as "a road to nowhere".
The opposition Syrian National Coalition is holding a two-day meeting in Egypt to discuss a framework for a possible solution.
Also on Thursday, the UN and Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, agreed to remain in office through the rest of 2013, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told the Associated Press. Mr Brahimi's contract was due to expire on Friday.
The UN has estimated up to 70,000 people have died in the conflict in the past two years.
Police and witnesses said the blast was a car bomb. It went off in the central Mazraa neighbourhood, close to the Baath offices and Russian embassy.
State and pro-regime TV showed pictures of dead bodies and destroyed cars. State media said at least 53 were killed and another 200 injured in the blast. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said at least 42 had died, most of them civilians.
Surrounding roads are reported to have been closed off to traffic and firefighters and medical staff were soon at the scene.
Witnesses told AP news agency the car had exploded at a security checkpoint between the Russian embassy and the Baath Party central headquarters.
"It was huge. Everything in the shop turned upside down,'' one local resident said. He said three of his employees were injured by flying glass that killed a young girl who was walking by when the blast hit.
"I pulled her inside the shop but she was almost gone. We couldn't save her. She was hit in the stomach and head."
State media said the explosion had struck near a school and clinic and that schoolchildren were among the casualties.
It seems to have been targeted at the Baath party offices, but also affected residential areas, says the BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus.
Heavy fighting between government and rebel forces continued around the city, with the government carrying out air strikes in the suburbs.
Shortly after the car bomb, two mortars were fired at a military headquarters in Damascus, reports say.
And there were two other explosions in the city, also at security checkpoints, according to the SOHR.
The UK-based activist group is one of the most prominent organisations documenting and reporting incidents and casualties in the Syrian conflict. The SOHR says its reports are impartial, though its information cannot be independently verified.
Mr Lavrov said the Kremlin and the Arab League wanted to establish direct contact between the Syrian government and the opposition.
Speaking in Moscow, where he hosted league officials and several Arab foreign ministers, the Russian foreign minister said that sitting down at a negotiating table was the only way to end the conflict without irreparable damage to Syria.
"Neither side can allow itself to rely on a military solution to the conflict, because it is a road to nowhere, a road to mutual destruction of the people," he said.
Mr Lavrov and Arab League General Secretary Nabil Elaraby said their priority was to create a transitional government to navigate a way out of the violence.
No conditions for the negotiations have been set, they said.
The proposal initially received a cool reception from the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), with senior member Abdelbaset Sieda insisting Mr Assad and his allies "must go first".
"After that we can discuss with others in the regime who didn't share in the killing of our people," he said.
But the news agency Reuters says it has seen a draft SNC communique being discussed in Cairo which demonstrates an apparent softening in the group's stance.
The document reasserts the group's position that Mr Assad's apparatus cannot be part of any political solution in Syria, but omits previous demands that Mr Assad's regime must go even before any talks, Reuters says.
But that may still prove unacceptable in Damascus, says the BBC's James Reynolds in Istanbul.
Ingram was unfit for the start of their season due to knee surgery, after playing only limited-overs cricket for Glamorgan in 2016.
A Warriors statement said: "Colin feels that he would not do justice to the role of captain.
"His rehabilitation is going well, but he is some time away from getting out into the middle."
Ingram, 31, told BBC Wales Sport in August that he expected to return to action in October or November.
After joining Glamorgan in November 2014 as a non-overseas player under the Kolpak ruling, Ingram was the Welsh county's 2016 Player of the Year in white-ball cricket, but was not fit enough to play in the Championship.
"Colin has been an outstanding captain and we are grateful for his leadership over the past season," coach Malibongwe Maketa told the Warriors website.
"He still has a big role to play as a senior player in the squad and we are looking forward to his continued commitment to the team albeit not in a captaincy role."
Ingram, who played in 31 one-day internationals and nine Twenty20 internationals for South Africa, last played for the national side in November 2013.
"So, what's your opinion on group sex?" asked Evgeny Lebedev, Britain's youngest newspaper proprietor, who had flown to Minsk to interview the Belarusian leader.
The question, prompted by comments about the merits of group sex made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a discussion about jailed punk band Pussy Riot, caused Mr Lukashenko to pause for just a fraction of a second, before he shrugged his shoulders and said matter of factly: "I really don't have an opinion on group sex."
It felt as if the room, full of political advisers and camera operators, sighed with relief as the conversation moved to the apparently less awkward issue of human rights abuses.
But the brief exchange on group sex was hardly the only surreal moment in the conversation between the son of a Russian oligarch, once labelled London's latest "It boy", and the man whose iron rule has earned him the title of Europe's last dictator.
Seated in ornate chairs in front of a faux fireplace, slim Mr Lebedev, dressed in fashionable tight grey jeans and the bulky, plain-speaking president in a dark grey suit made an odd pair.
The four-hour interview touched on many subjects, from democracy and economy, to the fall of the USSR and the war in Iraq, from Mr Lukashenko's friendship with the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi - "I told Muammar 'beware of Europe!'" the Belarusian president recalled.
Also on the agenda were his seven-year-old son Kolya - who often attends official meeting with him, something Mr Lukashenko claimed was because the boy was so attached to his father that he will not go to sleep without him, not because, as has been claimed, he is being groomed for succession and the human rights abuses that Mr Lukashenko is accused of.
There was even a brief toast with the specially brewed "presidential vodka", although Mr Lukashenko took only a tiny sip, saying he does not handle alcohol well.
Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and Western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses - he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression.
Western journalists rarely get a chance to hold him to account, but Mr Lebedev managed to get the rare opportunity through his personal connections. BBC Newsnight was invited along, but as observers not interviewers.
Mr Lebedev, who hates being called an oligarch, went to Belarus as a journalist for the Independent, the British newspaper, which along with London's Evening Standard newspaper, his father Alexander Lebedev bought for him.
Speaking the night before the interview, Mr Lebedev had said he was determined to ask tough questions, adding: "I am told that apparently the president is ready for a fight".
But the interview never became much of a fight and from his very first answer Mr Lukashenko took firm charge of it.
Mr Lebedev's father made his billions after the break-up of the Soviet Union, in the chaotic, rapid privatisation of state monopolies that made a handful of Russians rich and left millions in poverty.
Mr Lukashenko never allowed this to happen in Belarus, and he dismissed Mr Lebedev's first question asking whether in the early 1990s Russia chose democracy over fairness, while Belarus went the opposite route:
"The sort of question you ask makes me wonder: but isn't fairness the very essence of democracy?" Mr Lukashenko said. "I have always believed that genuine democracy is fairness. The basis of my politics is first of all fairness and honesty."
"I would not say what happened in Russia in the 1990s was democracy, it was anarchy, and here you are right, we managed to nip these anarchic tendencies in the bud, we saved the country," he said.
Time and again through the interview, Mr Lukashenko referred to the stability he had brought to the people of Belarus.
"Look outside the window. Do you see the fence outside the palace? Do you see any guards? This is a country where everyone is safe," he said.
But the relative stability of Belarus comes at a price.
There is no presidential term limit here and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko's power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.
But every time Mr Lebedev pointed at deficiencies of the Belarusian political system, Mr Lukashenko came back with an articulate and colourful attack on what he described as hypocrisy inherent within Western democracies:
"Americans want to democratise us. OK, but why not go and democratise Saudi Arabia. Are we anything like Saudi Arabia? No we are far from that. So why aren't they democratising Saudi Arabia? Because they are bastards but they are their bastards," Mr Lukashenko said at one point - adapting Franklin D Roosevelt's famous description of Nicaraguan leader Anastasio Somoza.
"Don't you think you have too much power?" Mr Lebedev asked him.
"Yes it is a lot of power," Mr Lukashenko readily conceded, "but I believed then (in 1996), and many believed then, that we had no choice. We had to save the country, unite around something or someone to survive,"
"Isn't it time to open up now?" Mr Lebedev countered.
"If there wasn't for this insane pressure from you maybe we would, this unnecessary pressure which is trying to separate us from Russia for example. You are having the opposite effect, you are pushing us away from that very process. You don't want any democracy here," Mr Lukashenko replied.
The West's real agenda, the president said, was to open up Belarus' state controlled economy, which would make it vulnerable to the economic problems of the rest of Europe.
But many disagree with this assessment. Irina Khalip is a Belarusian opposition journalist for Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper also owned by Mr Lebedev's father.
In 2010 Irina and her husband - opposition leader and former presidential candidate Andrei Sannikova - were jailed for organising protests. International pressure got Irina out of jail and from under house arrest, but she is not allowed to leave the city, is visited regularly by the police, often in the middle of the night, and has another trial pending.
Several people have asked Mr Lukashenko about the fate of Irina Khalip before, and yet he looked surprised when Mr Lebedev broached the subject.
Mr Lukashenka said he thought Ms Khalip was already out of the country. He then turned to his aides and told them to send her to Moscow with Mr Lebedev. "Don't bother bringing her back" he added.
Minutes later a memo to that effect arrived. "You see, being dictator isn't such a bad thing," Mr Lukashenko joked handing the memo over to Mr Lebedev.
Later that day Mr Lebedev brought Ms Khalip the news that she could travel again. Irina was visibly grateful, but also sceptical. Mr Lukashenko's Belarus, she explained, can be a dark, secretive place where what is said in public does not necessarily correspond to reality.
Take for example the case of the Minsk metro bombing, an explosion that killed 15 people in April of 2011. Within 48 hours, police arrested two young men. Within weeks they were convicted and executed.
A BBC Newsnight investigation in July into the attack raised the possibility that security services were involved in the bombing, and the mother of one of the men said confessions were extracted under torture.
Mr Lebedev asked the president whether he had any doubts about the verdict.
"Not a single one," Mr Lukashenko answered firmly. He said that allegations that confessions were extracted under torture were not true. He spoke at length about how international criminologists, including teams from Israel, France and Interpol, backed the result of the investigation, which he said was under his personal control.
"All were unanimous that these were the people who had committed these acts of terrorism," he said.
Although we, the BBC, were present only as observers I told the president about the findings of the Newsnight investigation and Mr Lebedev's own Independent newspaper, which covered the trial extensively, and asked him why the verdict was so rushed.
In response Mr Lukashenko suggested that I watch the footage of the entire trial myself before "jumping to conclusions".
"Are you trying to convince me that I blew myself up?" he said "We have an image of a calm, stable Belarus, which we don't want to lose. The worst thing for us is to lose that. Are we such idiots that we would have planted and detonated the bomb ourselves?"
After the interview, the president put his arm through Mr Lebedev's and the two men disappeared for a private meeting. Mr Lebedev later told me he came to Minsk with a message from somebody in Europe, but refused to elaborate.
When I caught up with him afterwards Mr Lebedev sounded pleased with the interview, and seemed genuinely surprised when I asked him why he spent so much time debating with Mr Lukashenko on the perils of Western democracy instead of challenging him on problems in Belarus. Or why he chose to grill him on failure to rename the KGB, but not on torture that it is accused of.
"I did challenge him," Mr Lebedev replied,"... and I managed to get Irina Khalip out".
But back at her house Ms Khalip said she has nothing to celebrate yet:
"Lukashenko made a promise to Yevgeny Lebedev, he didn't say it to the criminal police who are looking after me. Words don't have legal meaning. We need a piece of paper with a signature and a stamp - even in a totalitarian state," she said.
And even if Mr Lukashenko keeps his promise, she does not want to leave Minsk. This is her home. Like so many others, Ms Khalip wants to find her freedom in Belarus.
The 28-year-old Israel international, who is recovering from surgery on an ankle injury, will remain at the Amex Stadium until the summer of 2019.
Kayal has scored three goals in 72 appearances for the Seagulls since joining from Celtic in January 2015.
"It is important to us that we keep hold of our key players," Albion boss Chris Hughton said.
The new note will debut in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the US Constitution's 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The treasury will seek the public's input in the selection, looking for a "champion for our inclusive democracy".
Former US political leaders - all white men - currently headline US notes.
The woman who the Treasury Department ultimately selects will replace Alexander Hamilton, a key figure in the American Revolution and the first secretary of the US Treasury.
Hamilton began appearing on the $10 note in 1929. He along with diplomat and inventor Ben Franklin are the only non-presidents featured on current US notes.
Women have been featured on US money before, but the notes and coins were not widely used. Most recently women's rights activist Susan B Anthony and Native American Sacagawea appeared on dollar coins, but both coins quickly went out circulation.
The primary goal of the redesign is to add measures to thwart counterfeiters, the Treasury Department said. But women's groups have recently pressed for more representation on US notes.
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," said Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
In March, an independent group held a contest to select a woman to headline the $20 note, replacing former President Andrew Jackson.
Abolitionist Harriet Tubman was the public's top choice, beating out finalists, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights activist Rosa Parks and leader of the Cherokee nation Wilma Mankiller.
Tubman was known as the "conductor" of the Underground Railroad that allowed many slaves to escape to freedom in the 1850s.
Mr Lew will make a decision about the selected woman by the end of year.
Since giving up his membership last year to focus on the PGA Tour, the 38-year-old Englishman has climbed from 75th to 24th in the world rankings.
Casey said staying in America was the "right decision for my family" but he was "very sad" he would not be able to qualify for Europe's Ryder Cup team.
Europe captain Darren Clarke said Casey's decision was "disappointing".
Clarke can only select players who hold European Tour membership.
Former world number three Casey played in Europe's nine-point victories in 2004 and 2006, and their defeat at Valhalla in 2008.
He was left in tears when he was overlooked for a wildcard by Colin Montgomerie in 2010, when he was ranked seventh in the world.
Casey said: "With my wife and young son as my priority, I have decided to continue to concentrate on the PGA Tour, which has worked well for us this past year.
"I believe this decision will help me to be the best I can be both on and off the course."
Clarke, who played alongside Casey at Oakland Hills in 2004 and the K Club in 2006, said: "It is obvious that representing Europe in the Ryder Cup is not on Paul's priority list, which is disappointing, but I wish him all the best for the future.
"The focus is firmly on the players who are committed to the European cause as we move towards Hazeltine and I look forward to working with these players over the next 10 months."
The 2016 Ryder Cup begins on 27 September.
A glass shield now protects the House of the Tragic Poet, where tourists can see the dog with the inscription "Cave Canem" - Latin for "Beware of the dog".
Frescoes at the house's entrance were also restored. Ash from a volcanic eruption buried Pompeii in AD79.
A staffing dispute caused long queues at Pompeii on Friday, in searing heat.
Pompeii gives visitors an extraordinary insight into everyday life in ancient Rome because many buildings were protected from the elements under the thick blanket of ash from Mount Vesuvius.
The site, near the southern city of Naples, has suffered from funding problems for years. Staff unions at Pompeii have criticised a management reorganisation there.
The House of the Tragic Poet has some of Pompeii's finest examples of interior decoration, including scenes from Greek mythology.
But the house's owners remain unknown - they may have died in the eruption along with many other Pompeii citizens.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde needs to save about £69m in the coming year.
Options include closing Lightburn Hospital and the birthing unit at Vale of Leven. Consultation begins next month with a decision due in December.
Scottish ministers have said they would not approve any plans that "do not properly reflect" local concerns.
The board has claimed that the proposals are motivated by the clinical need for change and would not in themselves save £69m.
NHS GGC chairman John Brown said: "It is only right that the public have an opportunity to hear the clinical case for change and to have their views heard.
"We want to ensure that all affected, including those who have campaigned against change, are able to become fully involved in this process of service modernisation.
"Our services are continually evolving and improving. Whilst the proposals do signal change, it is important to stress that, in each instance we are planning to retain local services within local communities."
Other proposals which will be part of the consultation are ending in-patient care at the Centre for Integrative Care at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow.
Another is transferring some services for children at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley to Glasgow.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "No final decisions have been made on these proposals and the Scottish government has not approved the proposals considered by the board."
Ms Robison pointed out that the government had ended "damaging uncertainty" and secured services at the Vale of Leven back in 2009.
It had also rejected, she said, proposals to close Lightburn Hospital in 2011 "because both patients and clinicians were of the view that the hospital provided high quality services that were greatly valued by the community".
The health secretary added: "Any proposals that do not properly reflect these concerns will not be approved by this government."
Scottish Labour's health spokesman Anas Sarwar urged the government to "step in to stop cuts to local services in Glasgow and the west of Scotland".
He believed that to do anything else would be "unacceptable".
Mr Sarwar added: "The NHS in Greater Glasgow and Clyde is facing £69m worth of cuts under the SNP government and that is putting local services on the line."
In January, NHS GGC said a leaked paper outlining £60m of possible cuts was a "discussion paper" rather than an "approved plan".
Now that the health board has working proposals for savings, these will be put to consultation before a final decision.
In a statement the accountancy firm said they "have now retired following a period of administrative leave".
Jon D'Arcy, Eamonn Donaghy, Arthur O'Brien and Paul Hollway were detained by HM Revenue and Customs on 25 November.
KPMG subsequently ordered its own internal investigation.
However, it said the arrests were not connected to its business or clients.
The company employs more than 200 people in its Belfast office.
KPMG added on Friday: "The firm has co-operated fully with the HMRC investigation which relates solely to the personal affairs of the four individuals."
The four are directors in a property investment company, JEAP Limited, which made a £4m loss when the Irish property market crashed in 2008.
Mr Donaghy was KPMG's head of tax in Belfast and was heavily involved in the campaign to devolve corporation tax powers to Northern Ireland.
Mr Hollway was the firm's head of corporate finance in Ireland and Mr D'Arcy its chairman.
The Belfast office will now be headed up by John Hansen.
Her ex-boyfriend Simeon Carr-Minns, known then as Jim, asked Pte Cheryl James if she was seeing someone else two days before she died.
She was found dead with a bullet wound to the head on 27 November 1995.
The 18-year-old from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years.
Mr Carr-Minns had been seeing Pte James for two months before she died but they had broken up, the Woking inquest heard.
He said he and Pte James had discussed marriage and made plans for him to meet her parents.
But the inquest heard he asked her on 25 November if she was seeing someone else and later that evening he found her with another man, the next day her mood was unusually up and down, and she died on 27 November.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
Mr Carr-Minns was asked whether their conversation on 25 November in Deepcut's Naafi bar had been heated.
He said: "Slightly impassioned, maybe, but not raised voices. It was never that.
"But I would have been quite anxious about it. I was never angry, more upset."
The inquest heard that later that evening he found her with another man, Pte Paul Wilkinson, on a bed in a disused block, looking "dishevelled".
The hearing was told that on the following evening of 26 November, Pte James and Mr Carr-Minns had sex at a party where Pte Wilkinson was also present.
Mr Carr-Minns said: "She would be laughing and joking one minute and quite aggressive or sad or angry the next minute.
"She seemed to go from one state to the other. I had not seen her like this before."
That night he walked her back to her own block and then went back to his own barracks after she asked him to come back and visit her the following day.
The next morning Mr Carr-Minns received a phone call and heard Pte James had died.
He said the news left him "absolutely devastated" and he "collapsed" in the phone box.
He said he told police in 2002 that "at no time" had Pte James indicated she might kill herself.
Previously in the inquest, evidence was read from a Surrey Police review which suggested Mr Carr-Minns "should be considered as a suspect".
But coroner Brian Barker QC said he was not under any suspicion and the family had indicated in open court they did not think him a suspect.
A first inquest into Pte James's death in December 1995 recorded an open verdict. This second inquest was ordered after High Court judges quashed the original findings.
The hearing continues.
The war hero, born in the Leith area of Edinburgh in 1919, died earlier this year at the age of 97.
He was renowned for flying 487 different types of aircraft - a world record that is unlikely to be matched.
The items being sold include his 1970 CBE and the Distinguished Service Cross awarded in 1942. The lot is expected to fetch up to £200,000.
The collection will also feature his Air Force Cross, awarded in 1947 and the Defence Medal with King's Commendation for Brave Conduct, along with his flying logbooks, which date from 1942, to his final flights for the Fleet Air Arm in 1970.
During World War Two, Capt Brown flew fighter aircraft and had the most aircraft carrier landings, with 2,407 - including the first in a jet-propelled aircraft. He also achieved the most catapult launches with 2,721 and carried out some of the world's first helicopter tests.
In the course of his aviation career, he survived 11 plane crashes. He also witnessed the liberation of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp and later became good friends with the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.
John Millensted, Bonhams head of medals and coins, said: "We are selling his entire archive, including his incredibly important medals.
"It is unrepeatable. We expect interest from individuals and also institutions. It would be nice if it went to a museum."
Mr Millensted said that Capt Brown's family was selling the archive, including the medals and logbooks, "so that others might appreciate them".
He said: "It has been a very difficult decision for the family. It was felt that it was appropriate to sell now so that others might appreciate them for the future.
"They would love to see them displayed for future generations to appreciate and understand."
The items will be sold at Bonhams' coins and medals sale in London's Knightsbridge on 23 November.

The hosts were dismissed for 211 on a pitch previously used in group-stage games, and lost by eight wickets.
Tournament rules prevented the use of fresh pitches for the semi-final.
"Going into today's game knowing that we were going to play on a used wicket potentially brought Pakistan's game closer to their home," said Morgan.
But his opposite number, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, had no complaints over the playing surface.
"I think the pitch was very good - it was good for both teams. I think we play very good, that is why we won today."
The three tournament venues - Cardiff, Edgbaston and The Oval - all hosted group-stage games, but the International Cricket Council's policy prevents the preparation of any additional pitches at these grounds for the knock-out stages.
India face Bangladesh at Edgbaston in Thursday's second semi-final, with the winners facing Pakistan in Sunday's final at The Oval.
Morgan added: "Coming from Edgbaston, it was a big jump in pace and bounce and too much of an ask for us to adjust. I don't think there was any home advantage."
England were the only team with a 100% record in the group stage and had lived up to the tag of pre-tournament favourites.
The next major 50-over tournament will be the 2019 World Cup, also hosted by England and Wales, and Morgan insisted he was happy with his team's change of approach since their disastrous showing at the 2015 event.
He said: "One of the huge contributing factors towards topping our table and playing very good cricket in the group stages is that we've stayed true to what we believe in and what's worked for us the last couple of years, and I think that's the continued formula for the future.
"I think it will have to evolve in whatever manner the game does over the next two years in the lead-in to the World Cup, but certainly we're moving in the right direction."
Although England struggled to score runs in Cardiff, with all-rounder Ben Stokes uncharacteristically taking 64 balls to score 34, Morgan praised the Pakistan bowlers for taking the initiative away from his batsmen.
"They adjusted to the conditions extremely well. The wicket was obviously slow and low and hard to get away to start with," he added.
"Every partnership we had started behind the rate, which put us under the pump a little bit, and none of our batsmen seemed to get away."
England will next play a one-day-international when they host West Indies in September, but they next play South Africa in a three-match Twenty20 series beginning on 21 June.
Injured England seam bowler Chris Woakes on BBC Test Match Special:
"Pakistan opted to bowl first, which we all thought was the wrong decision, as we thought the pitch would deteriorate and become harder to score on.
"England got stuck in the middle period after starting well, and then were well set at 100-2 but we lost our way in the middle period.
"When the ball got older it looked harder to bat and we struggled to gain momentum. Pakistan have played the perfect game, they're peaking at the perfect time."
Patrick McLoughlin told the Commons the new projected cost of £42.6bn, up from £33bn, included "contingency" money.
He said the final cost could be lower than the new estimate, but said revising the figure was "right".
Several MPs criticised the High Speed Rail (Preparation) Bill in a debate, but a bid to quash it was defeated by 325 to 37 votes.
The new high-speed railway line is intended to link London to Birmingham by 2026, with branches to Manchester and Leeds, via Sheffield, planned by 2032.
The first phase budget is now £21.4bn, with £21.2bn for phase two. These figures include a contingency fund of £14.4bn across the scheme.
Mr McLoughlin said contingency money was built into the London Olympics budget but the cost ended up "below the price that had been set by the government".
"While I expect the final costs to be lower than those I have just outlined... this is the right way to plan the project," he told MPs.
He also said the new budget took account of "design and environmental changes to improve the scheme", including alterations to the route such as a tunnel under the M6 near Birmingham.

How much will HS2 actually cost? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
The government has now put a new "ceiling" price on the completed project that is almost £10bn more than the previous "ceiling" price we had all been using.
The Department for Transport tells me they don't actually plan to spend £42.6bn - it just includes a huge contingency fund in case of problems.
The thing is, as anyone who has ever built an extension on their house will tell you, if you tell someone they've got a certain amount of money to spend, they tend to spend it, or even more.
So has the DfT made a rod for its own back by floating a bigger figure?
The headlines will probably now start calling HS2 a £43bn project (if you round it up).
In a few years time, will we all just assume that's the new price?

Mr McLoughlin said scrapping HS2 would be the "easiest thing in the world" for the government, but the long-term cost of that would be "huge".
He said building HS2 would "create and support" at least 100,000 jobs and "underpin" a further 400,000.
HS2 could add more than £4bn to the economy before opening and would provide "around £50bn worth of economic benefits once it is up and running", he added.
Mr McLoughlin said the coalition was considering various compensation schemes for residents affected by the planned rail line, including a possible "property bond".
The bill would give the transport secretary power to spend money developing the HS2 line.
A group of mainly Conservatives tabled a rebel amendment, urging MPs to reject the bill until budgets and the route were determined.
The rebellion, supported by 21 Tory backbenchers, was led by former cabinet minister Cheryl Gillan, whose Amersham constituency will be affected by the plans.
She said the project was "30 years too late" and added: "Technology and the whole of the UK is moving in a different direction."
Twelve Labour MPs, one Lib Dem and three Plaid Cymru MPs also opposed the bill.
But other Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs support HS2, and the vote was overwhelmingly in its favour.
A vote to give the Bill a second reading was defeated by 330 to 27.
Shadow transport secretary Maria Eagle said HS2 was "essential", but voiced concerns about delays to the project.
Robert Oxley from the Taxpayers' Alliance described the project as a "white elephant", which would not deliver the economic benefits ministers claim.
Up to 10cm (4in) of snow could fall on the highest ground.
The warning - from 18:00 on Friday to 10:00 on Saturday - covers parts of Dumfries and Galloway, Edinburgh, the Borders and the Lothians.
The Met Office said slippery conditions were likely with transport disruption possible on higher level routes.
It said some snow was possible at lower levels although it would tend to melt as temperatures rose on Saturday morning and rain moved in.
Striker Bony, who has signed a four-year contract, scored 31 goals in 30 league appearances last season.
West Ham also made an offer for the 24-year-old Ivory Coast international but Swansea won the race for his signature with a higher bid.
He said: "I've wanted to play in the Premier League for a long time."
Bony becomes Swansea's seventh permanent summer signing.
The Premier League club have also recruited Jonjo Shelvey from Liverpool, Alejandro Pozuelo and Jose Canas from Real Betis, Jordi Amat from Espanyol, Gregor Zabret from NK Domzale and Alex Gogic from Olympiakos.
Midfielder Jonathan de Guzman has also rejoined the club on a season-long loan from Villarreal.
The investment in the squad is a show of support for manager Michael Laudrup, who had said the Liberty Stadium outfit would have to strengthen for the 2013-14 campaign to build on last season's success.
Swansea won the Capital One Cup - beating Liverpool and Chelsea on the way to lifting the trophy - to qualify for the Europa League and finished ninth in the Premier League table.
Bony's arrival - in a deal that could rise depending on add-ons - is intended to take some of the pressure for goals off Swansea's Spanish attacker Michu, who scored 22 times for the club last season.
The pacy and powerful Bony was named Dutch footballer of the year for 2012-13 and had spells at Issia Wazi, in his homeland, and Sparta Prague before joining Vitesse Arnhem in January 2011.
He spent a brief period on trial at Liverpool in 2007 but failed to earn a contract.
The study, by the Royal Academy of Engineering, says 100,000 Stem graduates are needed a year just to maintain the status quo.
It argues the UK is already slipping down the international innovation league tables.
The UK has dropped to eighth globally in the number of US patents registered.
The report estimates 830,000 graduate-level Stem experts and 450,000 technicians will be needed by 2020.
In the UK some 23,000 engineers are graduating every year. But India is producing eight times as many, and China 20 times as many.
The report warns overall that the current pool of science, technology and engineering experts are already "stretched thin" and ageing rapidly. The median age of chartered engineers rises by 10 years for every 14 that pass.
UK firms are already having to recruit experts from abroad.
The report adds that the requirement for 100,000 Stem graduates per year between 2012 and 2020 will not be met by newly graduating students alone, and calls for Stem experts to be trained through other routes.
"With only circa 90,000 Stem graduates each year (including international students who presently cannot obtain visas to work in the UK after graduation) and knowing from earlier analysis of Hesa [Higher Education Statistics Agency] data that a proportion of Stem graduates choose non science occupations (26% of engineering graduates for example) there are clearly too few UK Stem graduates to meet the need," it says.
Prof Matthew Harrison, director of engineering and education at the Royal Academy of Engineering, said the shortage of Stem graduates was getting worse.
"In the last 10 years the general wage premium for graduates has been dropping, but over the same period the graduate premium for engineering has been going up.
"Engineering firms are crying out for engineers. They can't get the people they need. Although they have been very very vocal about the subject it has not translated into public policy yet."
A Department for Business, Innovation and Skills spokesman said it was working closely with industry and continue to look at various ways to support engineering at all levels, including engagement in schools, apprenticeships and postgraduate training.
"We have recently committed £3m to create up to 500 additional aeronautical engineers at masters level over the next three years, co-funded with industry," he said.
Stephen Rodgers and his wife, Alison, planned their special day around the historic match.
The couple arranged for the game to be played on a big screen at their reception and had their first dance after the half time whistle.
Following Northern Ireland's 3-1 win, the newly-weds are considering travelling to France for their honeymoon to see the team play in Euro 2016.
Speaking to the BBC, Stephen said, "The wedding went as well as the match did. It was a great result for me, for my wife, and for Northern Ireland.
"Before we even had the dessert we were singing, 'We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland'.
"We've never been to France so it would be something different, and something we'll look at," he said, adding it would be a great way to spend their honeymoon.
The team's success will see Northern Ireland make their first major tournament appearance since 1986.
Officials said Mohammed Afzal Guru, who had been on death row since 2002, was executed at Tihar jail near Delhi.
Afzal Guru had always denied plotting the attack, which left 14 dead.
India has stepped up security and announced a curfew in Indian-administered Kashmir, where news of the execution was expected to spark unrest.
Executions are very rare in India - Afzal Guru's was only the second since 2004, after Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving attacker from the 2008 Mumbai attack was executed in November.
"This is only about the law taking its course," Home Secretary RK Singh said.
Hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in towns and cities across Indian-administered Kashmir to try to contain any unrest sparked by the execution.
Claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and two wars have been fought over it.
The December 2001 attack was one of the most controversial incidents in recent Indian history, correspondents say.
Five rebels stormed India's parliament in Delhi on 13 December 2001, killing a gardener and eight policemen before they were shot dead by security forces.
India blamed the attack on the Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group, which it said was backed by Pakistan.
Pakistan denied involvement in the attack but relations between the two countries nosedived as their armies massed about a million troops along the border.
Afzal Guru, a former fruit seller, was one of two men sentenced to death for helping to plan the attack, although the sentence of Shaukat Hussain was later reduced on appeal to 10 years in jail.
Guru was found guilty of arranging weapons for the attackers and of membership of Jaish-e-Mohammed, both of which he denied.
Two other people accused in the case, SAR Geelani and Afsan Guru, were acquitted due to a lack of evidence.
Afzal Guru's appeal was first refused by the Supreme Court and then the president.
The Intergenerational Foundation says the number of areas dominated by over-50s has risen sevenfold since 1991 as young people move into the cities.
It means different generations live increasingly separate lives, it adds.
The government said housebuilding was an "absolute priority".
The foundation, which aims to protect the rights of younger generations in policy-making, analysed segregation by age in local areas in England and Wales.
It used small-area population estimates from the last three Census years - 1991, 2001, 2011 - plus data from 2014, to investigate how age-segregation has changed over time.
The think tank also considered data from the Office for National Statistics on rural-urban classification from 2011.
It said: "Segregation is usually a consequence of housing-related issues."
It called for:
Angus Hanton, co-founder of the Intergenerational Foundation, said: "We are drifting towards a two-tier society where the young are ghettoised, paying high rents in city centres to older landlords living it up in rural and suburban bliss."
He said "age segregation" had increased most dramatically among young adults during a period when they had become much more likely to rent housing instead of getting on the property ladder.
This suggested that it was being driven by the problems in the UK housing market, he said.
Developed in partnership with finance firm Legal and General, the report warns that such trends could have consequences for the economy - such as higher unemployment and families struggling to look after each other.
It cites the examples of Cardiff and Brighton, where young people are becoming increasingly concentrated in city centres and are much more likely to become renters rather than owner-occupiers.
It says: "Suburbs and outlying settlements are ageing because young people can't afford to move to them in the way they once did.
"Meanwhile, the flow of young people towards the big cities, and away from rural areas, appears to be intensifying, threatening to undermine the future viability of rural communities."
Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton are also identified as age segregation hotspots where more than 30% of young adults, and 25% of retirees, would have to redress the balance across the generations.
Mr Hanton said that now only 5% of people living in the same area as someone over 18 are over 65, compared to 15% in 1991.
This was weakening the bonds between the generations and leads to a lack of understanding of each other, he said.
Nigel Wilson, chief executive of Legal and General, said: "We have created an inter-generationally unfair society.
"We need to take bold steps to reverse the negative trends of the last 30 years."
The Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Building the homes that communities need is an absolute priority for the government and we have delivered nearly 900,000 since the end of 2009.
"We've also set out the largest housebuilding programme since the 1970s, doubling the housing budget so we can build a million extra homes."
Corey Robinson, 18, from Neath, died at the scene at Llandarcy in May. Two passengers were injured.
The Crown Prosecution Service has decided no charges will be brought.
Mr Robinson was driving a white 63-registered Vauxhall Corsa which collided with the nearside barrier.
His family issued a statement via police at the time saying they felt as though their hearts had been "ripped out".
A former pupil of Dwr-y-Felin Comprehensive, Mr Robinson was a construction engineer and a keen sportsman.
Sir Stephen House, 57, said the time was right to take up new challenges after 35 years as a police officer.
He has been under severe pressure over the three days it took his officers to respond to a fatal crash on the M9.
He has also been criticised over armed officers being put on routine patrol and his force's policies on stopping and searching juveniles.
Sir Stephen had previously indicated he was likely to stand down when his four-year contract expired in September of next year.
Confirming the details of his departure at a meeting of the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) in Stirling, he outlined some of the successes of Police Scotland, including the new national approach to domestic abuse and sexual attack.
He added: "As the leader of a national organisation that provides a vital public service 24 hours every day of the year, there can never be a convenient time to move on, but after nearly 35 years as a police officer and the last nine as a chief constable in Scotland, I believe the time is right for me to take up a new challenge and thereby allow the process to recruit my successor to begin.
"Much has been achieved since the creation of Police Scotland and I firmly believe that Scotland is better served for it. Not only in managing the changes brought about by reform and substantial financial cuts, but most importantly in the public service we provide."
He acknowledged: "There remains a lot to do, but knowing as I do the quality of our officers and staff, I am confident that the challenges will be met.
"The dedication and commitment of our people is truly outstanding and I know will serve Scotland well in the future under a new chief constable."
Paying tribute to the chief constable, SPA chairman Vic Emery said he firmly believed that Sir Stephen had been "the right individual at the right time" to lead Police Scotland through the "combined challenges of major reorganisation, fundamental reform, and reduced funding".
He added: "Sometimes the public don't always see the real person behind the public profile. Steve has always been a constable first, and a chief officer second."
Sir Stephen, who was previously the chief constable of Strathclyde Police, oversaw the complex amalgamation in 2013 of Scotland's eight regional police forces into the 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 he was criticised over his decision to allow armed officers to attend routine incidents, as well as the force's policy on stopping and searching juveniles.
The force is also under pressure over its response to the M9 crash in July in which John Yuill and his partner Lamara Bell died after it took three days for officers to respond to reports of their car leaving the road near Stirling.
When Sir Stephen House was appointed the first chief constable of the new Police Service of Scotland he was credited with being the best candidate because of his "impressive track record of leadership, partnership working and delivery".
Those were the words of the then Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, who believed Sir Stephen would make "an outstanding" chief constable.
Before the 57-year-old took on the role in October 2012 - seven months before Police Scotland came into being - he already had an impressive CV of public service both north and south of the border.
Sir Stephen's police career began 34 years ago when he joined Sussex Police.
He was a uniform officer between 1981 and 1988, initially working for Sussex and then later transferring to Northamptonshire Police followed by West Yorkshire Police.
Sir Stephen's first taste of high command came in 1998 when he joined Staffordshire Police as an assistant chief constable, initially in territorial policing and later in crime and operations.
After three years in that job he joined the Metropolitan Police Service as a deputy assistant commissioner.
Despite what he described as his "estuary English" accent, Sir Stephen is Scottish, having been born in Glasgow.

Police Scotland officers are being investigated by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner over the death of Sheku Bayoh, who died in police custody after being arrested following an incident in Kirkcaldy on 3 May.
And there have also been reports that Police Scotland was one of two unnamed UK forces accused by a watchdog of spying on journalists and their sources.
Sir Stephen had faced calls to resign from opposition politicians in the wake of the controversies, but Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has always insisted she had full confidence in him.
Responding to his announcement, Ms Sturgeon thanked Sir Stephen for his "years of dedicated service" with both Strathclyde Police and Police Scotland.
She said: "Strong policing has ensured recorded crime is at a 40-year low. Sir Stephen provided leadership at a crucial time and his strong focus on tackling violent crime made a major contribution to that achievement.
"Reform of policing in Scotland was absolutely vital to sustain the policing upon which Scotland's communities depend and Sir Stephen's contribution to that was invaluable."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, who has been a fierce critic of the single force, said Sir Stephen's departure would not by itself solve the "deep-rooted problems" in Police Scotland and that the force needed a "fresh start".
He added: "Ultimately the SNP government must accept responsibility for this chaos. They rammed through the centralisation of our police service despite warnings. They set up the toothless Scottish Police Authority. They appointed the chief constable."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said Sir Stephen was "bowing to the inevitable" by resigning, and said it was "essential that his replacement is up to the task of tackling the problems that have afflicted the single force since its inception".
Scottish Labour's justice spokesman, Graeme Pearson - who was formerly a senior police officer - said the process of reforming Police Scotland "can begin now if the SNP government are willing to take responsibility for their mistakes".
But the Scottish Police Federation, which represents rank and file officers, said Sir Stephen had made a "monumental contribution" to policing.
The federation's chairman, Brian Docherty, said: "He has delivered the most significant public sector restructuring in a generation against a background of a brutal austerity agenda.
"He has delivered some very impressive policing results on crimes of violence, particularly domestic violence. I have little doubt that history will prove to be kinder to Sir Stephen than the current commentary which at times has been vindictive and deeply personal.
"Many people feared that a single police service could be susceptible to political interference and those who have called for the head of the chief constable as some form of trophy need to consider that."
Niven Rennie, president of the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents, said on Twitter that the first chief constable of Police Scotland "was always going to be on a hiding to nothing".
He also said that critics of the force should "recognise the great achievements of Police Scotland in its formative years not concentrate on the mistakes."
Mr Rennie said Sir Stephen's decision would give the force a chance to rebuild on a "crazy" two years, and that he believed a "change in style will help".
Martin Bell, the brother of M9 crash victim Lamara Bell, said: "It's over to the government now to see what changes they will bring in.
"We have no faith in Police Scotland at all and no faith that we will see real change as a result of Sir Stephen standing down.
"What happened to Lamara really can't happen again. They need to stop making cuts to emergency services and put as much funding into them as they possibly can."
The Northern Territory News is famous for its lurid front-page stories featuring UFOs, horny ghosts and especially crocodiles.
Ahead of this Saturday's election, the paper hung pictures of Australia's two main political leaders on poles baited with fish guts.
These were dangled into the enclosure that houses Burt, a 5.1m crocodile.
Burt momentarily latched on to Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, but after a moment of cold-blooded deliberation decided Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would win the election.
"The bookies suggest he's onto a winner," said Matt Williams, the newspaper's editor.
"Burt's brain may only be the size of a walnut but he's one smart beast."
Burt resides at the Crocosaurus Cove wildlife park and played a starring role in the classic Australian film Crocodile Dundee.
He is the latest in a long line of "psychic" animals, the most famous of which was Paul the octopus, who correctly selected the outcome of seven of Germany's 2010 World Cup matches.
The lioness jumped through the open window of the couple's car and started mauling the woman, assistant park manager Scott Simpson said.
Paramedics were called to the scene but she died from her injuries, while the man is still receiving treatment.
The popular Lion Park is 30km (19 miles) north of Johannesburg.
The park's rules forbid visitors from driving through the lion enclosure with their windows down, reports the BBC's Milton Nkosi from Johannesburg.
Park rangers chased the lioness away after the attack, and it is not clear whether the animal will now have to be put down, our correspondent adds.
Local media are reporting that the woman's death marks the third incident in the past four months at the park.
Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Johannesburg
This afternoon's attack in the Lion Park came as a shock not only to the tourists and staff there but to me too.
I am a frequent visitor to the park. It's a great place to take the family and I've taken my own kids there for as long as I can remember.
We also take international visitors who want to have a feel of the African wildlife experience without having to drive for hundreds of kilometres into the bush.
The park's location near to Johannesburg makes it an easy destination for many tourists who are in town for a short time attending a conference or business meetings.
The lions are kept in large fenced-off enclosures which visitors can drive through themselves.
The official South African tourism website describes the park as a "hybrid between a zoo and a game reserve", while the Lion Park's website says "super close-up animal views" are guaranteed. Cheetahs, spotted hyenas and giraffe are also in the park.
The Lion Park is one of the region's most popular destinations, attracting tourists from around the world.
Previous high-profile visitors have reportedly included Colombian singer Shakira, Hollywood actress Natalie Portman, as well as the entire German football team before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"I am here to admit that I am HIV positive," he said.
The former star of sitcom Two And A Half Men appeared on NBC's Today show, ending days of intense media speculation.
Sheen revealed to Matt Lauer he had paid "enough to take it into the millions" to keep people from going public about his illness.
"I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths," he said, adding he was diagnosed four years ago.
He said when he revealed his HIV status to friends "the truth became treason", leading to "blackmail and extortion and a circle of deceit".
"I trusted them, they were in my inner circle and thought they could be helpful. My trust turned to their treason," he said, adding a prostitute took a picture of his medication and threatened to sell it to newspapers.
"I think I release myself from this prison today," he said.
He admitted that his use of drink and drugs was a "bad decision" but said it was "impossible" that he would have passed HIV on to anyone else.
The actor said he does not know how he contracted the virus but stressed he does not feel any stigma attached to the illness.
Speaking about the time prior to his diagnosis, he said: "It started with a series of cluster headaches and sweating - I was hospitalised. I thought I had a brain tumour - after tests they said this was the situation. It's a hard three letters to absorb."
Sheen appeared with his doctor, Robert Huizenga, who said his daily medication has suppressed the virus and he is "absolutely healthy".
"Charlie has an undetectable level of the virus in his blood," he said.
When asked to respond to rumours Sheen has Aids, Dr Huizenga said: "Charlie does not have Aids - that's when the virus suppresses the immune system. He is healthy."
Sheen said he is taking prescribed drugs daily and despite his erratic tendencies, has never missed a day's medication.
He said he is no longer taking recreational drugs but admitted he still "drinks a bit".
Dr Huizenga said he did have concerns Sheen might omit to take his medication.
"We're petrified about him, we're so, so anxious that if he was overly depressed or abusing substances he'd forget to take a pill, but he's managed to take his medication," he said.
When asked if he would stop drinking, Sheen responded by saying: "Perhaps the freedom of today might lead to that as well."
Sheen said his "personal disbelief and shame and anger" at the initial diagnosis "led to a descent into substance abuse and fathomless drinking".
But now he feels he has "the responsibility to better myself and help a lot of other people. With what we're doing today, others may come up and say, 'Thanks Charlie, thanks for kicking the door open'."
He said he hoped the media pressure would ease now.
"You can never predict how the media will roll with something," he said. "I hope it's a lot more forgiving and supportive than a lot of the garbage I've read over the past few days - that I knew I had Aids and was intentionally spreading it.
"It's as far from the truth as can be."
There are many different ways that you might catch HIV, but the main ones are having unprotected sex or sharing needles or syringes.
HIV is transmitted via blood, not saliva, but it is possible to catch HIV through unprotected oral sex (although the risk is much lower than with vaginal or anal sex).
Once infected, the virus attacks the person's immune system, making them more prone to other infections and diseases.
There is no cure for HIV, but there are treatments that mean people with the virus can live a long and healthy life.
The best way to prevent HIV is to use a condom for sex and to never share needles or other injecting equipment.
The actor rose to fame in the 80s with hit films including Platoon and Wall Street and, in 2011, was the highest-paid actor on TV thanks to his sitcom role.
But he has frequently struggled with drink and drug abuse.
The star, who played a hedonistic bachelor in Two And A Half Men, was fired from the show in 2011 after a downward spiral in his personal life, often played out in public.
Production had been suspended after he entered rehabilitation for reported drug and alcohol abuse.
The actor - the youngest son of West Wing star Martin Sheen and brother of actor Emilio Estevez - has also had a colourful personal life and has been married three times.
Sheen's first daughter, Cassandra was born to his former high school girlfriend.
His first marriage, to Donna Peele, ended after a year. His second marriage was to former Bond girl Denise Richards, with whom he has two daughters. They divorced in 2006 and he married Brooke Mueller, with whom he has twin sons.
He was then due to marry adult film star Scottine Ross, but the wedding was called off.
The actor said he had told Richards and Mueller and his oldest daughter about his diagnosis.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro announced that the frontier would be opened on Saturday.
During the first stage only pedestrians will be allowed to cross in five places along the 2,200km (1,370 miles) border.
Mr Maduro shut the border on security grounds. Many Colombians were expelled, and bilateral trade has since fallen.
The two presidents said that the five crossings would be open daily from 08:00 to 20:00 local time (13:00-01:00 GMT).

President Maduro said improvements in bilateral relations and security had enabled Venezuela and Colombia to take a number of decisions, including the reopening of the border.
He said the measures would be "well received by our peoples", Telesur television network reports.
Meanwhile, President Santos was quoted as saying that "it will be a provisional opening as we learn and adjust our decisions every step of the way".
Colombia and Venezuela also agreed to work towards the full reopening of the border, saying they needed first to reach separate agreements on security, commerce and energy.
Mr Maduro ordered the border to be closed in August 2015 after former Colombian paramilitaries attacked a Venezuelan military patrol and wounded three soldiers.
In July, Venezuela twice opened the border to allow people to cross over to shop for basic foods and medicines. Nearly 200,000 people entered Colombia.
Many basic goods are in short supply in Venezuela because of a severe economic crisis in the country.
Venezuela has suffered severe shortages for months as a result of the falling price of oil which is the country's prime source of income.
The victim was found injured in Doyle Gardens, Kensal Green, just before 15:30 GMT on Monday.
Ambulance crews treated the boy at the scene and took him to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Metropolitan Police murder detectives have yet to release the boy's identity but said his next of kin had been informed. No arrests have been made but witnesses are being sought.
Capital City Academy in Willesden has confirmed the stabbed teenager was a pupil at the school.
A friend of the victim, who did not want to be named, told BBC London Radio: "He was one of the most loved people in the whole of our school.
"I gave him hug and said, 'Get home safely', and then I come out of school and I see that he's stabbed.
"There's all these teenagers out here running with knives and guns. What's the point? Where does it lead us?" | Twelve new railway stations could be opened in Wales if the plans are judged to be viable.

It's said, in recent years, an unnamed minister had to wait a couple of days to be informed about his new post because a Post-It note with his name on it had dropped off the board, and, in the frenzy, he was completely forgotten.
Theresa May's first reshuffle in contrast has felt efficient in its method, and clinical in its politics.
By removing a group seen as a clique, with Michael Gove and Nicky Morgan following George Osborne out of the door, she calls a formal halt to the influence of the so-called Notting Hill Tories - those modernisers who had gathered around David Cameron's leadership and owned the top echelons of the Tory Party for so long.
But it's not as simple as "out with the old, and in with the new" because some experienced ministers who have been around are being rewarded for years of sober work - grafters, more "gin and Jag" Conservatives than metropolitan movers.
By also including Eurosceptics like David Davis, Liam Fox and Andrea Leadsom, Theresa May insures herself against some protests from those who campaigned to leave the EU that Brexit isn't moving fast enough.
But there are new faces as well - promotions for Karen Bradley, James Brokenshire, Baroness Evans - not well known, a political generation that's come after David Cameron and George Osborne.
The new prime minister has moved quickly to stamp her brand all over a new administration.
It feels less like a reshuffle, more like a new government. On Day Two in the job, these decisions however agonising, might be the easy part.

About 20 million people from 38 countries enter America each year under the visa waiver programme.
It has come under increased scrutiny since last month's attacks in Paris, with lawmakers expressing concern that militants could get into the US.
Under changes that are be submitted to Congress, all countries in the scheme would be asked to issue "e-passports".
Their registrations would come under greater scrutiny from US agencies, and travellers would also be screened to see if they had travelled to militant-held areas.
The Department of Homeland Security will also ask Congress for additional powers, including increase fines for airlines that fail to verify passport data.
The changes will "enhance our ability to thwart terrorist attempts to travel on lost or stolen passports", White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters in Paris, where President Barack Obama is attending UN talks on climate change.
The programme currently allows people from designated countries to visit the US for 90-day stays without getting a visa.
Several of the suspected perpetrators of the Paris terror attacks were from Belgium and France, which are countries on the list.
The team have scored a number of crucial last-minute goals this season.
The latest was Will Vaulks' winner in the first leg of the Premiership play-off final against Kilmarnock.
"We have worked on things this season as a team. We worked on the mindset of the players with a company," Houston told BBC Scotland.
"That has been hugely beneficial to us and the players bought into it. That was the most important thing.
"They have a very positive mindset. If the lose a goal, for example, they clear their heads quickly.
"And that's important because, if you let it dwell, you get annoyed with yourself and start falling out with your team-mates."
Falkirk, who travel to Rugby Park for the second leg on Sunday, have further embraced the idea of creating positive attitudes in match preparation.
"We also have personal training programmes that the club had lost when we moved from Stirling University, so we have added that in along with some sports science," Houston explained.
The manager believes that, should Falkirk come through against Kilmarnock in Sunday's second leg, their promotion to the top flight of Scottish football would be more than justified.
"I genuinely believe that Falkirk are the size of club that Scottish football needs," he said. "Our crowds are very vocal and good numbers-wise support for such a small town.
"We are averaging crowds more than some of the Premiership teams. I think it's good enough and big enough."
Houston expects his team might have to score on Sunday if they are to come out on top after the two legs.
Indeed, although Falkirk were 1-0 winners on Thursday, he feels his team can improve on their performance.
"We were fortunate to win the game," he suggested. "We didn't keep the ball very well against Kilmarnock.
"It's not a trait I can accuse the players of, so I can't be too negative on it.
"The fact that we won the match against a Premiership side is still much better.
"To go in with a 1-0 win is much better than a 1-0 defeat."
The Sunday Times reported that Moscow and Beijing had "cracked" a secret cache of files taken by Mr Snowden.
It said some Western intelligence agents had been removed from "hostile countries" because information leaked by Mr Snowden showed how they work.
The Sunday Times stands by its story.
Mr Snowdon's leaks in 2013 revealed surveillance carried out by US intelligence.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who helped break the original stories, told the BBC there was "zero evidence" to support claims Russia and China had gained access to the documents.
He criticised what he called "anonymous cowards in the British government" who had spoken to the Sunday Times.
Mr Snowden, now living in Russia, left the US in 2013 after leaking to the media details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence.
His information made international headlines in June 2013 when the Guardian newspaper reported the US National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of Americans.
Mr Snowden is believed to have downloaded 1.7 million secret documents before he left the US.
His actions have been praised by civil liberties campaigners but criticised by intelligence officials, who say the leaks pose security risks.
Mr Greenwald told the BBC's Today programme: "All this story is are people inside the government who have an obvious interest in smearing Snowden.
"They don't have the courage to put their names on these allegations so they remain anonymous.
"There's zero evidence for them. There's all kinds of reasons to believe they're not true.
"It's not journalism it's just acting as subservient stenographers for the government."
According to the Sunday Times, Moscow had gained access to more than one million classified files held by Mr Snowden.
A UK government source told the BBC Russia and China had information that had led to agents being moved but added there was no evidence any had been harmed.
Mr Greenwald said Mr Snowden had told him he did not take documents with him when he went to Russia because he feared he would be hacked.
He said: "Snowden told me before he left Hong Kong that he had intended to destroy the set and he has said publicly many times that he gave all the copies he had to journalists."
Mr Greenwald said there had been "a huge shift" in the media narrative towards a "pro-Snowden sentiment".
He added: "And as soon as the Snowden narrative shifts, up pops anonymous, unnamed cowards in the British government to smear him with these evidence-free claims and I think that's really the story."
A spokesman for The Sunday Times said: "This story was responsible journalism and another example of The Sunday Times setting the news agenda.
"We reported what various reliable and well-informed sources from within the government told us.
"We fully stand by our story, as did the BBC which also had it confirmed by government sources in its reporting yesterday."

Shareholders get to vote on pay every year but only once every three years does their vote have any teeth.

According to the High Pay Centre, 20 years ago CEOs earned 40 times as much as the average worker. That multiple is now 180.
There is increasing support gathering for the view that high pay is not just grossly unfair and socially divisive, it is economically destructive.
How so? The argument goes like this.
Remember, most company CEOs don't last long. The average tenure for a FTSE 100 boss is five years. Even when bonuses and pay are delayed, the period over which their performance is judged is pretty short.
Therefore, the CEO has to work quickly. The best way to maximise profit is to keep prices as high as the market will bear while cutting costs to the bone.
That will increase profits in the short term but is also a recipe for a lack of investment in new products, new machinery, new training, new technology, new anything.
All the things that, over time, raise an economy's productivity and its citizens living standards. The amount of money businesses are investing in things that will provide long term benefits is lower than at any time since the 1960s.
Some writers, like economist Andrew Smithers, argue that it is not too far fetched to link the decline in productivity, the amount of output per worker hour, to the excesses of executive pay.
We have been here before. The shareholder spring of 2012 was meant to chasten boards into more comprehensible, more transparent, and less offensive pay awards. It ushered in the idea of a three-yearly binding vote that Weir just lost.
And yet here we are today with Bob Dudley trousering £14m as his shareholders suffer and, wait for it, Sir Martin Sorrell to get a pay award of nearly £70m (his shareholders made money).
Senior city figures realise something is wrong. Nigel Wilson, the chief executive of Legal and General last week launched a working group to examine a pay regime he described as "broken".
It remains to be seen whether this shareholder spring gives way to yet another long summer for those in the boardroom.
Archie the Jack Russell terrier was found abandoned earlier this year and spends most weekends with London nursery teacher Marie-Hélène Léoni.
The Dogs Trust centre at Harefield says when he returns to the shelter he only obeys commands delivered in her accent.
Staff have been forced to mimic her voice when interacting with Archie.
Miss Léoni, 57, is originally from Savoie in the French Alps.
She has been taking four-year-old Archie out regularly for day trips and for walks near her home in Maida Vale, west London, for the past eight months.
She explained: "I'd sing him classic French children's songs, like 'À la Volette', 'Meunier tu dors' and 'Il était un petit navire'.
"I call him 'Poupounette' too, which translates as 'lovely doggie' and 'mon petit chou', meaning 'my little darling', and after that he started trusting me more and more."
Lizzie Smith, a canine carer at Dogs Trust, added: "She does have a lovely French accent, and it's astonishing to see the way Archie will only react when he hears it - which means during the week when he's back with us, the staff try to replicate Marie-Hélène's accent."
She admitted that their attempts showed "varying degrees of success".
Miss Leoni's work and other commitments mean she is unable to look after Archie full-time.
Staff at the Dogs Trust centre say Archie is now ready to find a loving new home and say it would be a "bonus" if his new owner can speak à la Française.
East Anglia's Children's Hospices (Each) wants to replace its aging facility in Quidenham, Norfolk, to help children with terminal illnesses.
The duchess, who is the charity's patron, will attend the launch at the Norfolk Showground on 25 November.
While there, she will meet families and speak to supporters of the hospice.
The charity runs services in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge and Essex.
The current Quidenham hospice is one of the oldest in the UK and is extremely restricted in its facilities and development, the charity said.
It is hoped the new building, in Framlingham Earl, would include a hydrotherapy pool and improved accommodation and play areas.
I kicked things off with Labour's shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith in the baking sunshine at Barry Island.
He gave some interesting answers when I asked him whether he'd be prepared to criticise the Welsh government publicly on the delivery of public services if he felt he needed to.
Mr Smith told me: "Where there needs to be hard words there will be hard words."
The context here is important. We are coming to the end of the first parliamentary term in which there has been a Conservative-led coalition at Westminster and a Labour Welsh government in Cardiff since the start of devolution.
The relationship has at times been hostile.
The Conservatives have long maintained that the criticism has brought much-needed scrutiny that was lacking when there were Labour governments on either side of the M4.
Labour of course insist the best relationship for the good of public services is one of "critical friendship" rather than "divide and rule", and that was the tone Owen Smith struck when I spoke with him although he did say those hard words would be made publicly if needs be.
Labour are also juggling with two narratives on the Welsh economy that at times appear to compete with each other.
Today was a classic example. Owen Smith was accompanied by the shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves at a food bank in Barry to campaign against what they call the bedroom tax and and what they also call an explosion of zero hours contracts.
The tone and content seem very different to what Labour's First Minister Carwyn Jones talks about when he says the Welsh economy is benefiting from a devolution dividend that has resulted in record levels of inward investment.
I've put this point to both senior Labour figures and they're response is that the two are not mutually exclusive.
Carwyn Jones says his efforts have come despite the UK government while Owen Smith says inward investment operates against a broader environment of low wages and insecure employment.
In the sunshine of Barry Island, there were lots of smiley faces but Labour are banking on those smiles being skin-deep, while underneath it all there rests deep disquiet about the direction of the economy.
In other words, are people feeling the economic recovery? The central question of this election campaign.
Next up the Lib Dems.
It has been prompted following concerns by parents about the care given to their children.
Several families have met with Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of the NHS, who has asked Sir Ian Kennedy to lead the investigation.
In a statement, Bristol Children's Hospital said it was troubled that families continued to have concerns.
A recent inquest into the death of four-year-old Sean Turner, from Wiltshire, found that while there was no gross negligence, there were missed opportunities.
Steve Turner, Sean's father, said: "One Sunday morning I picked up the paper and read an horrific story with regard to the Bristol Children's Hospital.
"I tweeted Sir Bruce Keogh and asked him to pick up the reins and sort this mess out."
He agreed to meet with parents, including the mother of seven-year-old Cardiff boy Luke Jenkins, who died in 2012 following heart surgery at Bristol Children's Hospital.
Faye Valentine said the meeting with Dr Keogh was "promising".
"We feel quite pleased that something has come out of today and hopefully he'll look into our concerns," she said.
Dr Keogh said it was to be an inquiry by the parents but led by Sir Ian, who led the Bristol Royal Infirmary tragedy investigation.
"We've heard some very harrowing stories in a dignified way from the families," Dr Keogh said.
"Ian Kennedy is a highly respected individual, very ethical, got great integrity and the important thing is that he conducted the original Bristol Royal Infirmary inquiry.
"He understands the issues, he can hit the ground running.
"What I'm really after is getting to the bottom of these problems, finding a solution and getting the Bristol unit to be one of the very best in the country as quickly as possible."
A spokesman for the hospital said it had continued to make improvements, including better communication with parents.
Mr Erdogan said the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne was a defeat for Turkey as it "gave away" islands to Greece.
Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos warned Turkey not to pursue "dangerous paths".
Tensions over a disputed Aegean islet in 1996 brought Greece and Turkey to the brink of war.
Since then, relations between the neighbours have eased.
Speaking in Ankara on Thursday, Mr Erdogan said the Treaty of Lausanne, which forged the modern borders between Greece and Turkey, was essentially a defeat for Turkey.
"We gave away islands to Greece that we could reach with a shout. Is this victory? Some tried to trick us into believing that Lausanne was a victory," he said.
"Those who sat at that table did not do right by that treaty. Now, we suffer its setbacks."
Mr Erdogan's remarks angered both the Greek government and the Turkish opposition.
"Efforts to cast doubt on international treaties lead to dangerous paths," said Mr Kammenos on Friday, urging Turkey not to "pursue" those paths.
Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said questioning the treaty was "dangerous to relations between the two countries and to the broader region", his office said.
Turkey's main opposition CHP party - whose late leader negotiated the treaty - said Lausanne had reversed the tough conditions of a previous treaty that had been negotiated by leaders of the Ottoman Empire.
CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said Lausanne was "Turkey's deed" and questioned why Mr Erdogan had raised the issue while there was "unemployment, corruption and people chasing after their lives" across Turkey, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Mr Erdogan came to power in 2002 and has become known for his authoritarian approach.
He spent 11 years as prime minister before becoming Turkey's first directly-elected president in August 2014.
A further 25 will be involved in a continuing training mission in Ukraine.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said troops in the Baltic region would deter Russian aggression beyond Ukraine and reassure eastern European Nato members.
Mr Fallon, who is in Brussels for a Nato meeting, also called on Russia to change its strategy in Syria where it has been carrying out air strikes.
Russia's growing military involvement in the Syria conflict is expected to be high on the agenda of the Nato meeting.
Nato states have expressed concern over Russia's backing for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine and its bombing campaign in Syria.
In June, RAF Typhoons, which have been deployed to the Baltic region each year since May 2014, were scrambled from Estonia to intercept and shadow two Russian military aircraft over the Baltic Sea.
Nineteen UK teams in Ukraine have trained nearly 1,600 members of the Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF) at eight training sites.
The operation is on course to have trained more than 2,000 UAF troops by the end of the financial year.
By Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent
Britain has already been sending troops to take part in exercises in the Baltics. The RAF has been sending Typhoon jets to the region to help patrol the skies.
It's all part of reassuring nervous Nato allies worried about their increasingly belligerent neighbour, Russia.
That's how this latest UK deployment should also be viewed.
About 100 British troops will be sent to the Baltics to take part in a Nato training mission that's already up and running.
It will be a "persistent" rather than a permanent presence.
An MoD source said he expected the British troops to be there 90% of the time.
Nato does not want to be accused of breaking previous agreements with Russia about building new military bases in eastern Europe.
This move is likely to irritate Moscow. But such a modest deployment won't cause alarm.
Mr Fallon said the UK deployment was "further reassurance for our allies... for Nato, for the Baltic states and for Poland."
He said the troops were part of a "more persistent presence by Nato forces" to respond to "any further Russian provocation and aggression".
The move forms part of the US-German Transatlantic Capability Enhancement and Training initiative, which co-ordinates military training and exercises in the Baltic States and Poland.
Later, Mr Fallon is expected to say: "We are committed to supporting the sovereignty of the democratic nations of Eastern Europe.
"We are already deploying RAF jets to the Baltics and providing crucial training to the Ukrainian armed forces.
"Now we will have a more regular drumbeat of troops deploying in the Baltics and Poland."
Sir Andrew Wood, former British ambassador to Russia, said Russian president Vladimir Putin would see the stationing of British troops in the Baltic states "as a provocation".
On Russia's intervention in the Syrian civil war, Mr Fallon said Russia was "making a very serious situation in Syria much more dangerous".
Russia says its air strikes, which are backed by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, are aimed at so-called Islamic State and "other terrorists".
But the US and its allies say other "moderate" rebel groups have been targeted.
Mr Fallon said: "We'll be calling on Russia specifically to stop propping up the Assad regime, to use their influence constructively to stop Assad bombing his own civilians."
Sir John Sawers, former head of Britain's MI6 foreign intelligence agency, said Russia's intervention in Syria was "a major step up" in its level of support for Assad's regime.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the "reticence" of the West, in the wake of Iraq and Afghanistan, to deploy military power "had left a space into which Putin has inserted himself".
The collection, which includes many of his best-known WW1 and World War Two cartoons, was put up for sale in 2011.
The 410 drawings and paintings have now been acquired by the William Heath Robinson Trust (WHRT).
The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) gave a £250,000 grant to assist the purchase.
An additional grant of £50,000 was provided by the Art Fund, the national fundraising charity for art.
Heath Robinson's drawings of complicated inventions saw his name enter the lexicon in 1912 as a synonym for absurdly ingenious devices.
Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park and Olympic Cauldron designer Thomas Heatherwick are among those to have cited him as an influence on their work.
The cartoons include Deceiving the invader as to the state of the tide (left), part of a series looking at possible ways to resist a German invasion, and another drawing depicting British and German tunnellers meeting underground as they attempt to plant mines beneath each other's trenches (right).
Confusing the Enemy's Sense of Direction (left) imagines underground pulleys being used to spin a rural road sign, while 'Netting Tanks' (right) imagines armoured vehicles being armed with nets to "deal with a threatened menace on the Western Front".
Heath Robinson also found much to laugh at away from the battlefield, to which these colour illustrations of applicants "for the position of water diviner on the Metropolitan Water Board" (left) and "a Christmas deed of kindness" (right) attest.
"These fantastically wry cartoons represent British humour at its best," said Carole Souter, the NHMF's chief executive. "We felt that it was important to keep this collection together for the nation to rediscover and enjoy."
The collection, which includes rare early sketches and advertising commissions, will be displayed at the new Heath Robinson Museum in Pinner, north west London, when it opens in April 2016.
"We are proud to become custodians of such an exciting collection of works by one of Britain's best loved artists," said Geoffrey Beare of the WHRT.
Born in 1872, William Heath Robinson moved to Pinner in 1908. He died in September 1944, aged 72.
The male victim is the 1,641st person to be identified out of a total of 2,753 people who died in the attack.
His identity - which was determined using new DNA technology - is being withheld at the request of his family.
Before Monday's announcement, it had been over two years since the last identification took place.
The last time a victim was identified was March 2015.
His identity was determined by New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which had been retesting DNA recovered in 2001.
A total of 1,112 people who died (40%) remain unidentified nearly 16 years after the terror attack.
Harlequins flanker Robshaw was captain throughout Stuart Lancaster's reign and in 42 of his 43 England games.
Joe Launchbury of Wasps has been tipped as a future skipper, but it is thought Jones wants a more confrontational character to lead the side.
Hartley was dropped from the World Cup after being banned for a head-butt.
It was the latest in a long list of disciplinary issues for the Northampton hooker, who has been suspended a total of 54 weeks in his career
However, the 29-year-old's total of 66 England caps makes him one of the most experienced players available to Jones heading into the Six Nations, which starts on 6 February.
Hartley, who captained Northampton to the Premiership title in 2014, has been out of action for a number of weeks with concussion.
He will again be absent for Friday's European Cup match with Racing Metro, but director of rugby Jim Mallinder expects him to return to soon.
Although he is unlikely to continue to lead the side, Robshaw remains firmly on the England radar, but as a blind-side flanker rather than on the open side, where he has won the vast majority of his caps.
Meanwhile, Jones met with former head coach Stuart Lancaster on Wednesday and is in the process of finalising his coaching team.
Jones began overhauling his backroom team by getting rid of Mike Catt, Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree.
Steve Borthwick has been appointed as forwards coach, although the RFU remains in dispute with his club Bristol, while Saracens defence guru Paul Gustard is expected to join the team in the new year.
Jones is also meeting this week with Northampton attack coach Alex King about a possible role, although Jones will be in charge of shaping England's attacking plan himself.
Jones, 55, was named as England's first foreign head coach last month and met Robshaw, who made his international debut in 2009, on Saturday.
The new coach, who led Japan at the World Cup, has previously said Robshaw, 29, was not "outstandingly good in any area" following England's early exit from the recent World Cup.
England won only one of their opening three matches and became the first sole hosts to be eliminated at the group stage of the tournament.
BBC Radio 5 live's Chris Jones:
Hartley's poor disciplinary record is well documented but, at the age of 29 and with 66 international caps, he is hugely experienced.
His ballast and technical ability were badly missed by England during the World Cup.
Although Robshaw may lose the captaincy under Jones, he remains firmly on the radar as a blind-side flanker.
The action plan is aimed at multinational companies that shrink their tax bills by shifting their profits from one country to another.
Firms including Starbucks, Amazon and Google have been accused of pursuing such strategies.
They have all said they operate within the law.
The OECD says 44 nations making up 90% of the world economy favour its plan.
Announcing the proposals, the OECD's head of tax, Pascal Saint-Amans, told journalists in Paris that they would "change the rules of the game" by making sure companies paid taxes in the country where profits were generated.
At present, firms can exploit agreements intended to avoid double taxation of profits by using them to obtain double tax deductions instead.
They also use internal billing procedures to ensure that profits are registered in countries where corporate tax levels are lower.
Under the OECD plan, a country-by-country model would require firms to declare their revenue, profit, staffing and tax paid in each jurisdiction.
The measures will go before finance ministers at the next meeting of G20 nations in Australia this weekend.
Richard Collier, tax partner at PwC said the changes would have a big impact on global firms.
"The scale and scope of change surpasses what many people had anticipated at the outset.
"The big worry for businesses is that different tax authorities will require different information, which could add to the administrative and cost burden for businesses."
Anton Hume, at accountants BDO, said the measures could result in companies moving away from tax havens: "It may mean that a lot of activities are onshored again."
Shares in Hikma jumped 5.2% after Citi raised its rating on the stock to "buy" from "neutral".
In a quiet day for company news, Hikma was the biggest riser on the FTSE 100, with the index up 17.02 points at 6,724.90.
Card Factory fell 8% after it said management planned to sell shares.
Management is aiming to sell about 7.4 million shares in the company, which represents about 2.2% of the company's issued share capital.
On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.1% against the dollar to $1.5863, but rose 0.27% against the euro to €1.4007.
Six men and one woman died, and more than 50 people were injured, when a tram overturned on 9 November.
TfL has pledged to do "everything we can to support the families and all those affected".
An interim report into the crash is due to be published on Wednesday, but it could take "many months" to produce a final report, investigators warned.
Announcing the offer of assistance to victims' families, London's Transport Commissioner Mike Brown said: "The TfL Sarah Hope line is available 24 hours a day to provide advice on a whole range of matters and immediate financial and other support.
"This includes covering funeral costs and travel expenses for relatives."
Meanwhile, the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has conducted preliminary analysis and downloaded information from the tram's "black box" data recorder.
Previously it said the vehicle had exceeded the speed limit on the bend.
The RAIB said last week the two-carriage tram had been travelling "significantly" faster than the permitted 12mph (19km/h) as it entered a tight bend near the Sandilands stop.
Trade body UK Tram said tram accidents were incredibly rare and has cautioned against hastily imposed precautions as a knee-jerk reaction.
Simon French, head of the RAIB, appeared before MPs at the Commons Transport Select Committee on Monday and said a full investigation would involve a large number of interviews, as well as detailed analysis and examination of the evidence.
He said: "If there's information of immediate safety importance that needs to be communicated of course we will do so as is normal in our investigations by issuing urgent safety advices."
BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards said: "We already know the tram was going too fast on the bend, the crucial question we're all trying to find out is why.
"We might get the speed of the tram, we might get some urgent safety recommendations but the full investigation is going to take many, many months."
At the scene: BBC London reporter Jason Rosam
New Addington is still in shock, you can sense it in the air. People are trying to go about their normal daily lives but there's constant reminders of what happened seven days ago.
Here at the parade of shops where I'm standing there's a makeshift memorial to the victims - it's got flowers, cards, photos, candles and messages for those lost.
One message hung onto a tree really says what the mood is perfectly: "It's so sad that you started your day from here only to lose your lives 20 minutes later. You will never be forgotten."
Doing this job I regularly stop people in the street who are rushing to work and a lot of people ignore me or brush me past. But here, every person I've spoken to has taken the time to stop and talk to me and that's unusual.
A police investigation has also been launched and the tram's 42-year-old driver, Alfred Dorris, from Beckenham, south-east London, has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released on bail until May.
The Office of Rail and Road is carrying out its own investigation into whether safety rules were being followed.
Born in Tokyo, Sciver has lived in Japan, Poland and the Netherlands, playing a different sport in each country, before settling in England and on a career in cricket.
"My mum works for the foreign office and gets various postings in England and abroad," the 22-year-old, who is now based in Surrey, told BBC Sport.
"I played in the women's football league in Poland and I was about 12 playing with a load of 22-year-olds. That was an experience.
"Moving around a lot helped me to be who I am today. Travelling around all over the place doesn't really affect me.
"I moved country every four or five years so I had to adapt to that; different schools, different languages and different people.
"I think I've come out at the other end better for it. It was really enjoyable to just see the world a bit more."
There are very few sports Sciver has not turned her hand to. She played hockey and tennis in England before settling on cricket - even now, she finds time for a few rounds of golf in between her commitments with bat and a larger ball.
Sciver is one of a new generation of England women's cricketers, newly professional and with a financially-viable career in the sport.
She made her Test debut against Australia in last winter's Ashes, scoring a total of 72 runs and taking one wicket in England's 61-run victory at Perth.
She also played in the recent series against India, where the home side lost the Test match but fought back to win the one-day international series 2-0, and is now preparing to face South Africa in three T20 games, starting on Monday at Chelmsford.
"After the Test match we were disappointed to lose, but after the quick turnaround in the ODIs we're feeling pretty confident," said Sciver.
"I want to solidify my place in the team and put in the performances that I know I can do and become more reliable and consistent.
"It's good being an all-rounder. If one doesn't go so well, you've got the other to fall back on.
"It's a definite aim to get them both going on the same day, but I wouldn't want to be in any other position.
"I like being involved in the game and I wouldn't want to go 50 overs without breaking it up with one or the other."
Sciver fell into cricket as a teenager, playing games against her dad and brother in her back garden, before joining Surrey club Stoke d'Abernon.
She played the usual games against boys' teams. "They didn't like it so much when a girl bowled them out," she joked.
Her performances led to her being selected for Surrey's academy, which became the pathway to an international career that began when she was selected for England's limited-overs series against Pakistan in 2013.
It was not until last October that Sciver made her big impact at the top level, becoming the first England player to take a T20 hat-trick in Barbados.
Bowling the 19th over in the deciding group match of a tri-series involving New Zealand and West Indies, Sciver had the Kiwis' Maddie Green caught by Holly Colvin, then bowled Erin Bermingham and trapped Frances Mackay lbw off successive balls to finish with 4-21 and help England into the final.
"I think it was mostly luck on the first wicket," she admitted. "She tried to paddle me but it went to short fine-leg, which was ideal.
"It was towards the end of the innings and they could still get away with the game, but what we talk about is bowling at the stumps and being a threat.
"That's what I did and it worked out really well. I think that's the first hat-trick I've ever taken in any cricket game."
Despite the increase in financial support from the England and Wales Cricket Board and new sponsors, Sciver is one of many England players who balance a career in cricket with university.
She studies Sports and Exercise Sciences at Loughborough University, and admits it has been hard to combine touring with studying for a degree.
"The university have been really good. They've let me go part-time in my third year so I can split it over two years but I am going to end up taking exams all over the world," she added.
"When we were in Australia for the Ashes in the winter I was revising for my exams. I've done exams in Bangladesh, I've done some in India.
"It's been interesting - the team manager's probably not enjoyed it as much as I have."

John McBrien, from Flintshire, and David Steven Brown, from Wrexham, died along with 94 others at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough football stadium, Sheffield.
An inquest into the deaths of the 96 fans, killed as a result of a crush in the central pens of the Leppings Lane terrace that day, found they were unlawfully killed.
Jurors found police failures led to the deaths and the behaviour of Liverpool fans did not contribute to the dangerous situation at the turnstiles.
Police delayed declaring a major incident and the emergency response including the ambulance service was therefore delayed.
Jurors found there were defects at the stadium which caused the disaster. There was also an error in the safety certification of the Hillsborough stadium.
Eighteen-year-old student Mr McBrien, from Flint, had travelled to Sheffield on a coach organised by the Deeside Supporters' Club from Flint.
Machine operator Steven Brown, as he was known to family and friends, went to the match with his brother, Andrew Brown, who survived.
The inquest concluded both men died of compression asphyxia. Mr McBrien's time of death was between 15:00 BST and 16:35, while Mr Brown died was between 15:00 and 15:58.

A total of 10,886 badgers were culled in 10 areas in the counties of Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall, Devon and Herefordshire.
The government is proposing to allow continued "strictly licensed" culls to stabilise the badger population at its now reduced level.
Opponents of the plan say there is no evidence the cull is effective.
The highly-controversial culls began four years ago with the aim of stopping the spread of TB among cows, although animal welfare campaigners have criticised them as "inhumane and ineffective".
But the government insists "proactive" culling, which aims to remove 70% of the badgers in a given area, is necessary to tackle the disease which it says costs the taxpayer more than £100m every year.
The Humane Society International UK said it was outraged by the culls, describing them as "badgercide".
Director Claire Bass said: "Nearly 11,000 badgers have been shot in England since September this year, a staggering 14,829 badgers overall since the start of the culls, a shocking and grim death toll for this supposedly protected species."

The CQC report highlighted the "positivity and compassion" shown by staff at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and praised a programme which allows patients to be treated at home.
However, inspectors found some improvement was needed in safety procedures and outpatient services.
The centre's chief executive said it would "learn from all of the feedback".
Andrew Cannell said he was "very proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our staff and volunteers", adding that they "fully deserve" the outstanding rating.
Inspectors made an unannounced visit in June and found a need to improve staffing in the radiology department. There were also issues with locating documents, some of which were found to be out of date.
However, the leadership of the NHS trust which runs Clatterbridge and the support given to patients was praised.
These included visits from a therapy dog which "offered comfort and support" and a hand bell on each ward which patients rang to celebrate the end of their treatment.
Professor Sir Mike Richards, the chief inspector of hospitals, said Clatterbridge was "a centre of excellence delivering state of the art care".
The pop star accidentally stole the show at February's awards when she was pulled backwards down the stairs by a malfunctioning matador cape.
A huge cheer rang around the arena on Tuesday when she performed the same routine without a hitch.
The show also included a surprise appearance from Graham Norton, who gyrated with the star on stage.
And, in a break from her tour's standard setlist, she played Like A Prayer to highlight World Aids Day.
"The entire family of my adopted son died of Aids," said Madonna, whose youngest son, David, was born in Malawi.
"It is not a disease that had gone away. We need to remember that. Let's acknowledge all the people who have passed, and those who have fought to raise awareness. We shall overcome one day."
The Rebel Heart tour launched in Canada three months ago and has already become one of the highest-grossing shows of the year, taking $46m (£30.5m) at the box office, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
Over two-and-a-half hours, the visual spectacular addresses themes of love, loss, revolution, sin, salvation,power, corruption and Madonna... But mainly Madonna.
"Even I have to admit that I outdo myself," she deadpans half-way through the set.
The concert is split into roughly four sections, the first of which has a pan-Asian theme, with Madonna descending from the sky in a kimono-like robe and performing martial arts moves with her dancers.
Elsewhere, there is an x-rated re-enactment of The Last Supper, a Day of the Dead themed street party and a balletic tussle with a back-up dancer during Heartbreak City.
But Madonna is charismatic enough to command the entire arena on her own and the show's strongest moments come when she's solo on stage, shaking her hair to Like A Virgin or leading a singalong to Who's That Girl?
The star is in an 80s mood throughout, resurrecting overlooked gems like True Blue (performed on a ukulele) and Burning Up, one of her earliest songs, which still sounds like a mission statement: "I'll do anything, I'm not the same, I have no shame, I'm on fire."
More recent material is drawn from Madonna's current album - the scattershot, but largely successful, Rebel Heart.
The record marks one of the first times the star has addressed her own legacy and accomplishments and that sense of reflection is on display at the O2.
"I'm still trying to figure out who I am after all these years," she observes after playing Who's That Girl? "Does anyone ever really know?"
She even addresses her two divorces, saying she "sucks at marriage" and joking about the "three rings in every marriage - the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffering".
Both moments come in the latter half of the show, when the pomp and pageantry give way to a more relaxed atmosphere.
Into The Groove gets a flirtatious flamenco makeover, while a slowed down Material Girl sees Madonna throwing tuxedoed dancers down a sloping LED screen (revenge for the Brits? Who knows).
Norton makes his appearance at the end of the night, dragged up on stage for the reggae-tinged Unapologetic Bitch and careening down the walkway, arms akimbo, with Madonna in tow.
She gives him a banana as a thank you present.
By this stage, Madonna actually seems to be having fun, teasing the crowd ("you've had your tongue down his throat all night," she scolds one unfortunate couple) and asking for help when she forgets her words.
Twenty-five years after she invented the modern, multi-media pop spectacle with her Blond Ambition tour, it seems the star has found the freedom to play with the format.
Where once she declared "I am the boss" and commanded attention, she now thanks fans for the longevity of her career. "It's an amazing gift for me to have been able to do what I do for more than 30 years," she says.
The Queen of Pop's crown may have slipped at the O2 in February - but her grip is firmly back on it now.
Mr Trump is focusing on cutting taxes, eliminating regulation and ending trade deals.
Mrs Clinton, on the other hand, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, increase spending on job training and lower taxes on companies that hire more Americans.
Here are some of the ways they differ.
Mr Trump favours cutting taxes for everyone and reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to three.
"The rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it undermines our ability to compete," Mr Trump said during a speech on Monday.
Mrs Clinton would keep taxes the same for most Americans but add an additional bracket for the highest earners. The income from that would be used to pay for programmes like free university education for students from low- and middle-income families.
Her campaign is calling the higher taxes on the wealthy - 4% on people who earn more than $5m - the "fair share surcharge".
Both candidates have proposed closing tax loopholes that typically favour the rich.
Mr Trump proposes a child care deduction that would cover the average cost of child care, while Mrs Clinton favours limiting the number of deductions taxpayers can claim at 28%.
Tax deductions allow people to subtract some of the income they are taxed on - effectively lowering which bracket they fall into. They typically favour the rich who can take more, while the 43% of Americans who currently pay no income would be unaffected by the change.
Donald Trump also proposed eliminating the estate tax or "death tax" completely. The tax only applies when a family member passes on more than $5.45m worth of assets to an individual or $10.9m to a married couple.
According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Mr Trump's plan would reduce the amount of income the government takes in by $9.5tn over the next decade. Mrs Clinton's plan would add $1.1tn in revenue over the next 10 years.
Neither candidate has proposed significant reductions in spending on public pension and healthcare programmes like social security, Medicaid and Medicare. The funding needed for those is expected to balloon over the next decade and its unclear where the money to pay for them will come from without tax increases.
An analysis performed by Tax Foundation last month found that while Mr Trump's plan would lower taxes for all Americans it would lower them most for the highest earners.
Mr Trump has done his best to capitalise on the discontent around trade deals.
His economic proposal suggests renegotiating trade deals using "negotiators whose goal will be to win for America". He has not spelt out what that "win" looks like, but he has promised to step away from deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) if a good deal cannot be reached.
Mr Trump has also promised to get tough with countries that violate trade agreements, applying new tariffs and pursuing cases against them in the World Trade Organization. He has specifically said that he will label China a "currency manipulator".
Mr Trump has called for a 35% tariff on Mexican goods and a 45% tariff on Chinese goods.
That would mean a $100 television from Mexico would cost $135.
This could encourage US consumers to buy more products made in America, but it would also likely encourage Mexico to place an import tax on US goods, making it hard for US companies to sell their goods abroad. Mexico purchased $267.2bn in US goods in 2015, making it the second largest export partner for the US.
Mrs Clinton has said these tariffs will lead to a trade war making it harder for the US to compete on a global stage.
Clinton has gone back and forth on trade. She previously supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) but has said in her campaign that she doesn't think it's the best deal for America.
Her plan focuses more on increasing production in the US by offering tax incentives to companies that build there rather than barring imports out. While she has criticised some trade deals, she hasn't ruled out signing new ones if elected.
Trump on trade
Clinton on trade
Both candidates have promised to put Americans back to work, though unemployment has hovered around a low 4.9% since the beginning of the year.
Mr Trump's employment plan focuses on encouraging more businesses to open in the US. He has suggested that investing in infrastructure, cutting the trade deficit, lowering taxes and removing regulations will make it easier for companies to hire.
In his speech on Monday, Mr Trump focused mostly on increasing manufacturing jobs, which have declined by around 5 million since 2000. Much of that decline has been caused by improvements in technology, however, not outsourcing.
Mrs Clinton's policy for jobs growth is a little more specific. She has called for increasing jobs training - in part paid for by tax revenue from wealthier Americans. She has pushed for infrastructure spending and investment in new energy to lift the number of jobs in those sectors.
Despite their many areas of disagreement, there a few things both candidates are pushing for.
Mr Trump has not addressed how he will pay for these cuts, other than saying the changes will boost the economy and that will increase the tax base.
Mrs Clinton has said most of her spending increasing will be covered by tax increases, but it is unclear if those numbers entirely match up.
She will give her own economic policy speech on Thursday.
Mark Murray from St Asaph will instead have to pay 1,700 euros - nearly £1,500 - in legal fees.
He went to Italy last year to face Father Romano Nardo, who taught him in Yorkshire in the late 1960s and told him the impact he had on his life.
The encounter was filmed by Italian newspaper La Repubblica and posted online.
In the film, the priest can be seen sinking to his knees and begging forgiveness.
Mr Murray was summoned to court in Verona earlier this year over the encounter and a hearing took place last week in his absence.
The judge found Mr Murray had not persecuted Father Nardo and his behaviour was not considered criminal - the case was dropped but Mr Murray will have to pay legal fees.
He is one of 11 men who settled out of court with the Comboni Order, formerly the Verona Fathers, for alleged abuse suffered during the 1960s and 1970s at Mirfield in Yorkshire, where he was studying to be a priest.
The settlements were not an acknowledgement of guilt by the Church.
The two communities in the Niger Delta - the Ogale and Bille - claim decades of oil spills have ruined their homes.
They wanted their case heard in the UK.
But the High Court in London agreed with the Anglo-Dutch company's argument that the case, affecting more than 40,000 people, should be heard by local courts in Nigeria.
The villagers have repeatedly said they will not get a fair hearing in Nigeria.
However, Igo Weli, a spokesman for the multinational's subsidiary, the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC), told the BBC it was a "myth" that the communities could not get justice in their home country while welcoming the High Court decision as "common sense".
"It's about claims by Nigerians about the operations of a Nigerian company in Nigeria and I think the Nigerian court is the best place to handle that," he said.
"It's about incidents related to sabotage, illegal refining and crude thefts. Bille and Ogale are two communities that have been severely impacted by those activities which is a major source of pollution in the Niger Delta."
But neither of the communities - who say repeated spills since 1989 have meant they do not have clean drinking water, farmland or rivers - are ready to give up.
King Emere Godwin Bebe Okpabi, ruler of the Ogale, said: "Our community is disappointed but not discouraged by this judgement.
"This decision has to be appealed, not just for Ogale but for many other people in the Niger Delta who will be shut out if this decision is allowed to stand.
"Shell is simply being asked to clean up its oil and to compensate the communities it has devastated."
They have been given the go-ahead by Mr Justice Fraser to challenge his ruling in the Court of Appeal.
In 2014, another community in the delta, Bodo, took Shell to court in the UK over an oil spill. That case was settled by Shell the following year with an unprecedented $84m (£55m) payout to the Bodo community.
The difference with this latest case is that the Nigerian subsidiary SPDC has refused to submit to a UK jurisdiction.

In a communique on Saturday, the global lender said it would review the resources it had available to tackle the crisis.
The statement added that eurozone nations would do "whatever necessary" to resolve Europe's debt crisis.
Following the statement, UK chancellor George Osborne said there was "no plan" for a Greek default.
However, the communique, issued during a meeting between G20 finance ministers, the IMF and the World Bank, did not give specifics on whether extra funds would be available to the global fund.
"Our lending capacity of almost $400 billion looks comfortable today but that pales in comparison with the potential financing needs of vulnerable countries and crisis bystanders," said IMF managing director Christine Lagarde in an action plan presented to the fund's policy steering panel.
The IMF's statement also called for governments to take steps to shore up the banking system.

Robinson: Britain out of Europe
Will China rescue the West?
Banks holding large amounts of European sovereign debt have come under pressure from investors concerned about losses if those debts are not repaid.
"Advanced economies will ensure that banks have strong capital positions and access to adequate funding," said the communique.
The IMF, it said, would develop mechanisms to assist troubled financial institutions working across national borders.
Mr Osborne said eurozone members had agreed on the need to take decisive action to tackle the crisis.
Speaking in Washington, the chancellor said allowing Greece to default on its debts was not one of the proposals.
"No-one here has put forward a plan for that," said Mr Osborne.
The weekend meeting comes after another week of volatility on the world's share markets.
In Europe, the main share indexes in London, Paris and Frankfurt all fell about 4% over the week.
The IMF statement follows a similar communique from the G20 group of leading economies on Friday.
Make your way through the maze of Greece's debt decisions
Greece's debt crisis dilemmas
The G20 committed "to take all necessary actions to preserve the stability of banking systems and financial markets as required".
It said it would follow up this pledge with a "bold action plan" at the beginning of November.
That statement left many analysts uncertain as to the direction of policy.
"The statement from the G20 last night may have taken the edge off the current bitter market sentiment, but the reassurances from the finance ministers lack substance," said Jane Foley at Rabobank.
"Until politicians back their actions with words in respect to moving closer to a solution to the eurozone debt crisis, markets will continue to worry about a messy and painful outcome from the eurozone debt crisis."
Governments have so far given little hint of what action they may take, but markets have long been calling for a substantial increase in the eurozone's communal bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), from its agreed level of 440bn euros ($596bn; £385bn).
Many investors also want the eurozone to issue bonds guaranteed by every one of the 17-member nations - so-called eurobonds. However, a number of policymakers, particularly those in Germany, have resisted the idea.
In July, European finance ministers proposed making the EFSF more flexible, allowing it to buy individual government bonds - which would bring down the cost of borrowing for heavily indebted nations - and to offer emergency credit lines to banks. However, the proposals have not yet been ratified.
Pensions and Isas hit by turmoil
The IMF said it was critical that this agreement be implemented.
Analysts say far swifter action is needed in order to soothe investors' jittery nerves.
Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, suggested this weekend's meeting in Washington could mark the beginning of concerted action to tackle the debt crisis in Europe which is the cause of so much stock market volatility.
"The thing that really brought the world to a better place in 2008 was genuine collective action involving both the developed and the developing world through the G20," he told the BBC.
"The fact that they're all there together in [Washington] DC this weekend should lay the framework for thoughts about quite significant actions... sometime between now or possibly at the November G20 in France."
The man, dressed as a priest, stormed the stage of the Rose of Tralee International Festival in County Kerry on Monday night.
He held up a placard and shouted: "Fathers for justice!"
Television cameras cut away from the stage while the protester was removed by security.
The Rose of Tralee International Festival is a week-long pageant in which women of Irish descent from around the world vie to be named the Rose of Tralee.
The festival's organisers confirmed the man had purchased a ticket and was removed by Irish police after being taken from the stage.
They were satisfied adequate security measures were in place, they said in a statement.
The man took to the stage while the Cavan Rose, Lisa Reilly, was speaking to presenter Dáithí Ó Sé.
Irish Independent journalist Andrea Smith described the stage invasion as "very shocking".
"It was like something out of Father Ted, as suddenly a man dressed as a priest runs onto the stage, nobody knows what to do and he's shouting about Fathers 4 Justice," Ms Smith, who was live-blogging the event, told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"It probably gave the organisers such a fright, but it's also probably the most exciting thing that's ever happened in the history of the Rose of Tralee," she said.
It is understood the man was Matt O'Connor, a founder of Fathers 4 Justice, who is originally from County Kerry but now lives in England.
The group are best known for a series of high-profile stunts.
In 2004, a campaigner dressed as Batman held a protest on a balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The Crown alleges Osmond Bell murdered Nova Welsh at her home in Lighthorne Avenue, Ladywood, Birmingham.
Mr Bell, 60, said he had been in the cupboard up to three times while running a business restoring washing machines from a nearby garage.
He denies murdering the mother of his two children.
Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country
A "one-in-a-billion" DNA profile matching Mr Bell was found after her death on chewing gum used to secure the lock of the cupboard, Birmingham Crown Court has been told.
Mr Bell, of Regent Road, Handsworth, said his relationship with Ms Welsh, 24, ended after arguments about their goals in life.
He told the court he did not know for certain in the summer of 1981 that his former partner was seeing another man.
Asked by his barrister, Jeremy Dein QC, if he had been in the cupboard where Ms Welsh's body was found in August 1981, Mr Bell said he had been into the under-stairs room with his business partner and his brother.
He said: "The very first time we went in was to gain access to the pipe - we were going to attach a hose to the stopcock."
Claiming to have used a discarded piece of gum as a form of filler to secure the door after it was forced open, Mr Bell stated: "We were able to put the keep back on and relocate the screws.
"I have a picture of it as it happened. I re-secured it by using the screws that were there and also used a bit of gum in the place of glue."
The trial continues.
Crews were called to the building on the Electra Road in Campsie at about 08:40 GMT on Wednesday.
Twelve fire appliances have been sent to the scene from Derry, Strabane, Omagh and Dungiven.
It is not yet known how the fire started.
"There are hundreds if not thousands of tonnes of waste inside," said Mark Smyth, the assistant group commander at the Fire Service.
"It is a sizeable building and we are working hard to control this.
"There's no hazardous or toxic waste burning as such, but we do recommend local people to stay inside.
"We don't anticipate any interruption for local people.
"We have had to get water from a considerable distance away."
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan told BBC Radio Foyle: "People can see the smoke from the city.
"There has been significant damage caused here which is a real shame.
"It's a vast site. There has been a build up of waste within the building that hasn't been touched because of the company going into administration."
Mark Carney, the Bank's governor, averred there could be a "technical recession" - that is six months of economic contraction with all that could mean for job losses and real incomes.
Sterling could fall sharply, investment dry up and confidence slump.
Today, a different tone - nuanced, maybe, but still significant.
Although Mr Carney made it clear that the economic risks were still very visible - and indeed some, such as sterling's slump, were beginning to "materialise" - preparation ahead of the referendum was now paying off.
And, yes, he actually used the word "positive" for some of the effects seen post the Big Vote.
Financial markets had remained stable, government and business borrowing costs - even for the battered banks - had fallen and the decline in the pound had provided a boost for exporters and businesses that earned revenues overseas.
Investors may be concerned with profitability and economic growth, Mr Carney said.
What they didn't seem so worried about was the resilience of the whole system, which can be a much more toxic issue - as anyone who went through the 2008 crisis will attest.
That is not to suggest that the governor thinks anything much different from what he and members of both the Financial Policy Committee and the Monetary Policy Committee believed before the referendum.
It is to suggest that the governor is well aware of his new role post the leave vote to provide reassurance, a one-man stability mechanism during this remarkable episode of political and economic volatility.
The governor has not only been very visible since the vote on 23 June - today is his third appearance before the cameras - but he has also been keen to say that the Bank is working as it should to provide all the monetary and financial stability support it can during such uncertain times.
That has gone a considerable way to calming market jitters.
Of course there are significant risks ahead, the Bank says.
It has raised fresh concerns about the debt levels being carried by "vulnerable" consumers who might be affected by job losses or a fall in incomes.
It says foreign investment in commercial property developments has declined significantly.
And, given that 75% of all lending to smaller businesses uses commercial property as collateral, any fall in prices could have worrying knock-on effects for access to credit.
Today's announcement that Aviva has followed Standard Life in stopping people removing their money from its property investment fund for fear of a disorderly "rush for the exit" shows that uncertainty in the commercial office and shops market is having a tangible impact on retail investors.
Which could have an impact on broader consumer confidence.
Housing transactions have also slowed and the share prices of the major home builders have slumped, raising fears about the government's targets for house building.
Which were pretty heroic in the first place.
Mr Carney also warned that the UK's large current account deficit meant that foreign investors' confidence in the country's economy had to be maintained.
The UK relies on the "kindness of strangers" to service that deficit, as the governor memorably put it earlier this year.
Mr Carney's tone has softened. No, he doesn't believe there are necessarily sunny uplands ahead.
It's just that his job in a world where there is such little visibility politically or economically on the path ahead has changed.
From warning mode. To reassurance.
Facebook campaign group Concentrix Mums believe around 100 claimants have been sent information such as bank statements, self assessment details and National Insurance numbers of others.
A Concentrix spokesperson said: "We treat these allegations seriously and are investigating".
The firm will not have its contract renewed, HMRC has previously said.
The claims - made to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme - come the day before the senior vice president of Concentrix, Philip Cassidy, is due to be questioned by the Work and Pensions Select Committee.
The firm was hired to help cut tax credit fraud and overpayment, but has been accused of incorrectly withdrawing tax credits from hundreds of claimants.
Paul Eite, a single father who had his child tax credits stopped, is attending the hearing and said he will raise "very serious data protection issues" that he claims have been uncovered.
"We have got evidence that will show that [Concentrix is] sending... documents back to the wrong people," he explained.
One Concentrix claimant, Shanice Manning, has shown the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme evidence of a letter she received that was addressed to a "Mrs Whittaker".
She said it contained the national insurance number and case number for the claimant.
"Concentrix wasn't aware it had done that until I rang them and made them aware," she said.
She added that when she did this, she was referred by the call centre advisor to an American man who "came on the phone and was all like 'what's your problem'. That's all he was saying to me."
Ms Manning said she then rang HMRC but "I never heard anything more".
"Then I emailed my MP to tell him, and he looked into it," she added. Ms Manning said she was then asked to send the letter back to Concentrix, but does not know whether Mrs Whittaker was informed of the situation.
A Concentrix spokesperson said: "The handling of individual claimants' private information is a strict and rigorous one. We treat these allegations seriously and are investigating."
HMRC said in a statement: "We take the protection of our customers' information extremely seriously. We have very robust processes in place to ensure that personal data is properly protected. We look into all allegations reported to us around data security."
Its chief executive Jon Thompson is due to appear before MPs later this month.

Mohammad Kamaruzzaman of the Jamaat-e-Islami party was found guilty of genocide by a domestic war crimes tribunal in May 2013.
A review petition was dismissed on Monday. The attorney general said there was now no reason why he could not be executed.
Kamaruzzaman's lawyers could decide to seek mercy from the president.
The 62-year-old was convicted of crimes committed during the country's war of independence from Pakistan in 1971, including a mass killing of at least 120 unarmed farmers in the northern border town of Sohagpur.
Three women widowed as a result of the killings testified against Kamaruzzaman during his trial. They described how he led Pakistani troops to the village and helped the soldiers to line up and execute the farmers.
An appeal court in November last year upheld the verdict and a sentence of death by hanging.
But Kamaruzzaman's lawyers made a last-ditch legal appeal, arguing that there were "serious discrepancies" in the testimonies of prosecution witnesses at his trial.
That has now been rejected by the Chief Justice of Bangladesh, S K Sinha.
Political activists who had gathered in court welcomed the ruling.
"We're happy. He is a notorious war criminal. We made several attempts during the 1971 war to capture him. But finally he is caught by the court," Anwar Hossain, who fought in the independence war, told AFP news agency.
"We hope he'll be executed (in) the quickest time possible," he added.
Estimates for the number of people killed in the nine-month Bangladeshi war vary, with the government suggesting as many as three million died.
Others say that figure is too high and unverifiable.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up the war crimes tribunal in 2010 to look into abuses during the period.
The first person executed was Jamaat-e-Islami senior leader Abdul Quader Mollah in December 2013.
Opposition parties say the war crimes trials are politically motivated and aimed at settling scores.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said prison authorities would now ask Kamaruzzaman whether he would seek clemency from President Abdul Hamid.
"If he refuses, he could be hanged any moment," he added.

Peacock worked as Derby's academy director for four years from 1998, but has spent 21 years at the Football Association either side of that spell.
"The chance to work once again at this fantastic club was an opportunity I couldn't decline," Peacock said.
The Rams have also named ex-Switzerland international Pascal Zuberbuhler, 44, as their goalkeeping coach.
Peacock and Zuberbuhler have joined manager Paul Clement's new-look coaching set-up and he said their experience would be crucial for his first season in charge.
Clement said: "John is an excellent coach and has a wealth of experience, having worked at the Football Association for a considerable amount of time.
"He is a key signing for me and I am really pleased that we have been able to attract such a highly-skilled coach to my backroom team."

The regional airports operator said it handled 477,612 customers between April and June 2017 - an increase of 55,934 passengers.
The strongest performing of its 11 airports included Inverness, Barra and Islay.
However, Dundee handled 2,690 fewer passengers.
Hial said this was a result of the withdrawal of the Flybe Amsterdam service by the operator in December 2016.
Numbers also declined at Wick John O'Groats. This was due in part to reduced demand from energy sector services to and from Aberdeen.
Hial operates airports in the Highlands, Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, Argyll and Dundee Airport.
Ren took the lead after the third of five dives and a superb inward three-and-a-half somersault with her fourth virtually clinched the title.
China's Si Yajie took the silver, while Canada's Meaghan Benfeito won bronze.
Couch, competing in her third Olympics, ended with a fine reverse two-and-a-half somersault but finished in 12th.
"The last few days I haven't dived my best, I've been a bit flat," the 27-year-old from Plymouth told the BBC.
"But I have made the final here, and that was goal."
Three-quarters of cases of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a change in the shape of the heart's left ventricle, which can be fatal, are caused by stress.
The University Hospital Zurich study, in the European Heart Journal, suggests about one in 20 cases is caused by joy.
The condition is normally temporary and people are generally fine afterwards.
In the study of 1,750 patients, researchers discovered heart problems caused by:
The study also suggested most cases were in post-menopausal women.
Dr Jelena Ghadri, one of the researchers, said: "We have shown that the triggers for takotsubo syndrome can be more varied than previously thought.
"A takotsubo syndrome patient is no longer the classic 'broken-hearted' patient, and the disease can be preceded by positive emotions too.
"Clinicians should be aware of this and also consider that patients who arrive in the emergency department with signs of heart attacks, such as chest pain and breathlessness, but after a happy event or emotion, could be suffering from takotsubo syndrome just as much as a similar patient presenting after a negative emotional event."
She said it was likely both sad and happy events shared a common "emotional pathway" leading to the condition.
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: "Takotsubo syndrome is a rare event.
"This study suggests that in a very few cases, the triggering event may be a happy one.
"Much more research is needed to understand how such emotional events can trigger temporary heart damage in a few susceptible individuals."

The V&A has released 12,000 new tickets one month before the show closes on 2 August.
The museum will open through the night for the final two weekends of the run.
Martin Roth, Director of the V&A said: "We knew that Savage Beauty would be very popular, but the response has been even greater than we imagined."
He added: "It is not going on tour to other venues so our aim is to provide as many people as possible with the opportunity to see it by opening through the night for the last two weekends.
"This will be the first time we have opened the V&A around the clock and we certainly think it is an event worth getting out of bed for."
More than 345,000 people have visited the Alexander McQueen show, making it the most visited paid-for exhibition at the V&A in the last decade.
The museum revealed it had received 10,000 new members during the exhibition - with members gaining free entry - and its Friends of the V&A membership was now 75,000.
An earlier version the Savage Beauty retrospective took New York by storm when it opened in 2011 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met).
London-born fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen killed himself in 2010, at the age of 40.

Newton, near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, is reverting to its original name Newton in the Isle "to set us apart" from the other 40 or so Newtons, the parish council said.
As reported in the Fenland Citizen, the name was approved at a recent meeting.
Council chairman Doug Fullbrook said new road signs were being drafted and could be in place by the summer.
Mail being sent without a full postcode often ends up in the wrong Newton, he said.
About 80% of residents of the village, which has a population of about 600, voted to go back to the old name, he told the BBC.
More on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire
"People coming to the village see 'Newton' on the highways signs then get to the middle of the village and see one of the lovely old signs which says Newton in the Isle, and they ask, how did this happen?
"Well, 600 years ago that was the name given to the village when it was formed as a settlement in about the 13th Century. The 'isle', of course, is the Isle of Ely," Mr Fullbrook said.
"Somewhere along the way someone decided to shorten the name."
Changing it back would "set Newton apart... from all these other Newtons", he added.
The process had been "simple" he said, and Fenland District Council approved the proposal.
Newton in the Isle is commonly mixed up with Newton near Cambridge
There are also Newtons in the neighbouring counties of Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire
Other Newtons are scattered throughout North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Nottinghamshire as well as Scotland and Wales
There are also numerous versions of Newtons as well, including Newton Abbot in Devon and Newton on the Moor in Northumberland.
Fig Newtons are a popular biscuit taking their name from another Newton - this time in Massachusetts, USA.
Mr Jedrzejewski, who lived in the city, was found on Keene Street, Lliswerry, at around 23:00 GMT on Thursday.
He was taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital, where he later died.
Two men aged 18 and a 17-year-old boy were arrested on Friday and a 43-year-old man was arrested on Saturday.
All four were arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody.
Gwent Police said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident but is appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward.
Officers are particularly interested in speaking to a girl in her late teens or early 20s who was seen walking into Keene Street and a boy who was riding his bike along Cromwell Road.
They also want to speak to the driver of a silver hatchback car seen turning into Keene Street just after the incident.
Supt Glyn Fernquest said: "If this is you then please get in touch, as you may hold vital evidence that can help us with our investigation - please be reassured that you are not in any trouble."
In fact he's known for it - combining eroticism with beauty.
"I'm not a painter but a tattoo artist," he told BBC News from his studio in Kyoto city.
"Everything around me inspires me, especially nature; wind, rain and forest."
Red and black ink often features prominently in his work.
"Skin isn't paper and black is the best colour to work with for tattoos - many cultures like the Maoris and Polynesians also consider it as such," he said.
"Red is a favourite colour of mine and it makes a good contrast with black ink."
To his loyal clients and large following on Instagram, Gakkin's freehand style is a large part of the appeal.
"Tattooing freehand is a totally different process from conventional tattoos," he explained.
He does not own stencil machines, commonly used by most in the industry. Instead, he relies on a ballpoint pen for drawing on skin.
"There are infinite possibilities for my tattoos and working freehand means that my pieces will look beautiful on your body from any direction," he said.
Like choosing between children, Gakkin told the BBC that it was difficult for him to choose a favourite tattoo.
But he admitted he was happiest working on big pieces.
"Full body suits, I've done many. Most of my clients are able to endure three to five days in a row for such a session."

Pre-tax profit for the quarter rose $24m to $1.4bn (£915m), but revenue slipped $2bn to $33.9bn.
The second-largest US carmaker sold 1.57 million vehicles, down 21,000 compared with a year earlier.
There were 678,000 sales in North America - a fall of 39,000.
The introduction of a new F-150 pickup affected sales in North America as vehicles are still being sent to dealers, while customers waited for a new model of the Ford Edge SUV. The two models are among the company's most profitable.
However, Ford said it expected a "very strong year" in North America, despite a slight fall in revenue to $20bn and an 11% slide in pre-tax profit to $1.34bn.
Ford - which employs about 194,000 people globally at 66 plants - maintained its full-year forecast for pre-tax profits of between $8.5bn and $9.5bn.
Bob Shanks, chief financial officer, said the carmaker was on track for a "breakthrough year".
Mark Fields, chief executive, said Ford would "grow progressively stronger" as recent launches "start to pay off".
The results were lower than analysts had expected, Ford said, because they had forecast a tax rate of 29% for the quarter, while Ford paid 34%.
Europe remained a weak spot even though sales rose 2% to 376,000 vehicles in the quarter, with revenue down $900m to $6.9bn and pre-tax losses totalling $185m.
There was robust demand for commercial vehicles such as the Transit van.
Revenue in South America fell 20% and the company remained in the red for the region with a $189m loss as it replaced legacy products with those from its "One Ford" range.
That was better than the $510m loss for the period in 2014, which included a $310m charge to offset currency devaluation in Venezuela.
Prospects in Asia were brighter, as sales rose 16,000 to 366,000 vehicles and a $103m profits.
The financing operation, Ford Credit, returned a profit of $483m on the back of higher lending.
The first quarter dividend was raised by 20% to 15 cents a share.

The new rates will be implemented in October and will benefit a million workers.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said he had accepted a recommendation from the Low Pay Commission that the minimum wage should increase by 3%.
It is the first time in six years that the rise will be higher than inflation.
The rate for 18 to 20-year-olds will go up by 10p to £5.13 an hour, a 2% increase.
The rate for those aged 16 and 17 will rise by 7p to £3.79, also a 2% rise.
Apprentices will earn an extra 5p an hour, taking their wages to at least £2.73.
The consumer prices index (CPI) rate of inflation is currently 1.9%.
"The recommendations I have accepted today mean that low-paid workers will enjoy the biggest cash increase in their take-home pay since 2008," said Mr Cable.
He also suggested that all companies should consider helping their staff to share in the fruits of an improving economy.
"I urge businesses to consider how all their staff - not just those on the minimum wage - can enjoy the benefits of recovery," he said.
Meanwhile, the man who set up the minimum wage 15 years ago, said it is in need of major reform.
Professor Sir George Bain, founding chair of the Low Pay Commission, said the benchmark was a "child of its times" when launched in 1999.
But speaking to BBC Newsnight on Wednesday, he said it had become a "blunt instrument" and that many employers could now afford to pay their workers much more.
"If you set it at the 'living wage', which is about £7.65 an hour, you would cause massive unemployment in areas like retail and social care," Sir George added.
"But there's only about five sectors where this is true. There's a whole range of sectors where you could easily afford to pay more than the minimum wage."
Sir George, who has chaired a review of the minimum wage for think-tank the Resolution Foundation, also said there should be a "special case for London to have a higher national minimum".
His report also recommends that the Low Pay Commission give longer-term forecasts for the benchmark, to help employers plan for the future.
The latest rise means the national minimum wage is still well below the definition of low pay, as set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
This equates to two-thirds of the median full-time hourly wage - about £7.71 an hour. About five million UK workers currently earn below that level.
The latest figure is also well below the living wage, which is £8.80 per hour in London, and £7.65 in the rest of the country.
"Across the country, people are struggling to make ends meet," said Dave Prentice, the head of the Unison trade union.
"The sooner we move to a living wage, the better," he said.
In January this year, Chancellor George Osborne said he backed the idea of the national minimum wage reaching £7 an hour by October 2015.
The latest announcement could pave the way for that to happen, but it would need a rise of more than 7% next year to do so.
Unite, the country's biggest trade union, said the rise announced was "timid".
"To make matters even worse, George Osborne cruelly held out hope that the rate would rise to £7," said Len McCluskey, Unite's general secretary.
"The government claims it is on the side of working people but companies are sitting on a cash mountain of £500bn and they should be forced to share more of it with the lowest paid," he added.
The picture was published by the team investigating the stadium disaster, in which 96 fans died after a crush during an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield.
It follows 65 other appeals issued on behalf of coroner, Sir John Goldring, who is presiding over the new inquests.
The photographs of those yet to be traced are shown on the Operation Resolve website.
New inquests into the disaster are being held in Warrington, Cheshire.
Liam White left HMP Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent on Sunday.
Kent Police, who were called to the Category D prison just before 14:00 BST, said the 23-year-old should not be approached by members of the public.
Armed robber Michael Wheatley absconded from the same jail in May and went on to raid a building society in Surrey.
His case sparked a political row over the day release of dangerous inmates amid criticism that arrangements were too lax.
Wheatley, 55, dubbed the "Skull Cracker" for pistol-whipping bystanders, was later caught and sentenced at Guildford Crown Court to life behind bars and told he would serve at least 10 years before being eligible for parole.
Police said White was wearing a dark green poncho-style coat and carrying a black shoulder bag when he absconded.
The champions' 2-0 win over Ross County put them three points clear of Aberdeen, who travel to Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Monday.
"You know, you talk about Aberdeen all the time," said Deila after further questions about their nearest rivals.
"Here in Celtic we don't think about the others; it's about winning games. Whatever they do, we have to win."
Leigh Griffiths notched his 30th goal of the season to put the hosts on course for victory after a frustrating opening 40 minutes and Dedryck Boyata headed in a second midway through the second half.
But overall there were still unconvincing elements to the Celtic display on a surface showing some deterioration.
"I don't think you get the points if you don't put in the performance," said Deila.
"On the ball today we could be better but having said that, it's not easy on that pitch to play fantastic football.
"You can't do anything [about it] because here it's been raining for three months. You'd almost need a new pitch every week.
"We have the best groundsman and they do a good job but you have to be a miracle man to work with this [type of weather]. We need some sun and we need some warmth.
"I think we were a little bit sloppy at the start in the defence; we didn't get close enough and win the ball in good situations enough.
"But at the end of the first half I thought we got going. It's very important to get a victory and get confidence and kick on from that."
Deila played down any issue midfielder Stefan Johansen has with winning over the Celtic fans in what has largely been a torpid season for the Norway international.
He contributed well with some incisive through balls against County but still received criticism from fans when wayward with his shooting.
"For me he was one of the best on the pitch today," added Deila.
"He created a lot and he worked really, really hard. He's had a tough start to the season but in the last month he's played very well.
"He's a top quality player and he's giving our club things on and off the pitch. I love to have him here at Celtic."
Ross County manager Jim McIntyre confirmed right-back Marcus Fraser could be a doubt for the League Cup final on 13 March if the dislocated shoulder he suffered when challenging Stuart Armstrong turns out to be a complicated one.
"He's in a lot of pain," said McIntyre.
"He's on his way to hospital because we couldn't manage to get it back in. We'll know more in the coming days.
"A lot if the time if you can pop them straight back in it might be a week or two, but sometimes they can be a six-week job."
The Staggies' boss was disappointed not to cause the same sort of upset they did in the League Cup semi-final against Celtic.
"We didn't carry the same threat we've carried in past games against Celtic in terms of creating," he said. "But in terms of their work rate and organisation they were very good.
"When you come to places like this there are key times of the game that you try and get to, and a minute before half-time is the worst possible time to lose a goal."
The action-packed film, which also debuted at the top of the US box office, took £4.63m.
Comedy musical Pitch Perfect 2 was second placed with £1.87m, while Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron's Mad Max: Fury Road was in third with £1.75m.
Last week's number one, Tomorrowland - A World Beyond, slipped to fourth.
Disney's George Clooney adventure, inspired by the futuristic area at the company's theme parks and Walt Disney's optimistic vision of a utopian future, took £1.04m.
Marvel blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron was at number five in its sixth week of release, taking £883,000.
San Andreas sees Johnson as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot who has to navigate the destruction from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save his own daughter following a magnitude 9 earthquake.
The film also features Kylie Minogue as the sister of one of the key characters - Johnson's estranged wife Emma, played by Carla Gugino.
Two other new releases made the top ten, including British rom-com Man Up, starring Simon Pegg and Lake Bell, in seventh place.
Danny Collins - starring Al Pacino as a veteran rocker who receives a letter from John Lennon 40 years too late - debuted in tenth place.
Greater Manchester Police received a call at about 10:45 GMT alerting officers to an explosive device in Cobden Street off Broughton Road.
Following a search by detectives, the bomb squad was deployed and a cordon put in place.
The grenade was examined and investigators found it did not contain any explosives, police said.
Macaully Sutcliffe, 16, was hit by Mohammed Zaman's van near Whitchurch, Hampshire, in October.
Zaman, 32, from Reading, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.
His father, Anglican priest Richard Sutcliffe, said his son's life had been cut "cruelly short".
In a statement he said: "No court sentence can help to fill the gap left following the death of Mac."
Hampshire police said Zaman "failed to abide by the give-way signs" at the junction of Bloswood Lane and Harroway.
"He had seen the moped was indicating but told police in interview he had misinterpreted the direction of the indication," a force spokesman said.
The judge at Winchester Crown Court said all the fault for the collision lay with Zaman and praised the teenager's "exemplary riding", police added.
Fr Sutcliffe, assistant benefice priest at St Mary Bourne near Andover, paid tribute to his son.
In a statement, he said: "As well as missing his presence now, we have huge regrets for his future that was so cruelly cut short.
"We are enormously proud of the fine young man that he had become. He touched many people and we all miss him dreadfully."
As well as being jailed, Zaman, of Wimborne Gardens, was banned from driving for two years with a 10-month extension.
The Australian government has cut the national broadcaster's budget by A$50m ($44m; £28m) or about 5% a year.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed the anticipated cuts on ABC TV programme Q&A.
A number of key television programmes will be affected, including the Friday night state-based 7.30 programmes.
Speaking on Monday night, Mr Turnbull said the A$50m cut would average out over five years at about 5% off the total budget.
He said he would release more details about the cuts later in the week and said the savings were "not punitive".
"They are relatively modest savings relative to the budget of the ABC and SBS," said Mr Turnbull.
"They are part of a government savings exercise because we've got a problem with the budget. There's no reason for the ABC to be exempt from that," he said.
The ABC has been regularly criticised over a long period of time for bias against the conservative side of politics.
But Mr Turnbull last night criticised ABC management for trying to shift the blame for "programming changes [made] for its own programming reasons" to the government.
"That is simply not right," he said.
ABC's Media Watch program said ABC2 and ABC3 would survive; Radio National would be cut by 2% and regional radio had been mostly left alone. Regional ABC services are greatly valued by those communities and by the Coalition's National Party MPs.
Late night news and current affairs program Lateline is expected to suffer a cut, while 20 jobs will be lost in the ABC's foreign bureaus, said Media Watch host Paul Barry.
To make a government in the UK, a political party has to do well enough in a general election to win an 'overall majority' in the House of Commons.
The House of Commons has 650 MPs (members of Parliament), so having an overall majority means having half those MPs plus one more.
That means they need to win at least 326 seats, so that they'll have 326 MPs in the House of Commons and they're strong enough to put their plans through Parliament
If they win fewer than that, then they're not big enough to be a majority government - even if they've got more seats than anyone else.
When that happens, they need help from another party, so that they have the extra support of their MPs as well.
The UK has a hung Parliament now because none of the parties won enough seats in the General Election to make a government.
The Conservative party was the closest, but they still only got 318 seats - fewer than the 326 that they need.
Now they have to find a way to get the extra support they need to make a government.
Theresa May has said that the Conservatives can make a minority government, because they'll get the extra support she needs from the DUP (Democratic Union Party) from Northern Ireland.
The DUP won 10 seats, which only makes them the fifth biggest party in Parliament - but added to the Conservatives' 318 seats, it makes a total of 328 which is enough to get things done in the House of Commons.
The two parties are in talks now, but will need to have a solid agreement by Tuesday 13th June, when Parliament meets again for the first time since the election.
The Chinook came within 600 ft (183m) of the light aircraft over Maidford in Northamptonshire.
The UK Airprox Board, which investigates near-misses, said the pilots were flying "at the same height and were head-on".
It concluded that "safety margins had been much reduced below the normal".
The Chinook pilot reported the incident to the board, which happened at 17:50 BST on 20 August last year.
He told investigators that he was flying at 1,800 ft (549m) when he noticed a blue and white plane, which was a Grumman AA5, flying close to him on his left-hand side.
The AA5 pilot told investigators he suddenly saw "two small lights dead ahead", so he "broke hard left" into clear airspace, but the Chinook took the same course of action.
The board said the AA5 pilot "could have done more to ensure greater separation as they approached head-on", while the Chinook crew did not spot the other plane until it was almost too late, possibly due to "worsening conditions".
Both pilots shared an equal responsibility "for collision avoidance" and "not to operate in such proximity to other aircraft", it concluded.
Mr Vaccari is charged over an alleged scheme in which the party received dirty money from inflated deals between oil executives and construction firms.
Party president Rui Falcao said he still had confidence in Mr Vaccari.
He is the closest ally of President Dilma Rousseff to have been arrested in the broadening scandal.
The arrest places further pressure on the president, who has faced street protests, impeachment calls and plummeting opinion ratings since her re-election four months ago.
Ms Rousseff served as the head of Petrobras for much of the period when the corruption took place, but she has not been implicated in the scandal.
More than 40 politicians, including the heads of both houses of congress, are being investigated over the affair.
Prosecutors say Mr Vaccari served as the Workers' Party's liaison in a scheme where oil officials colluded with construction firms to artificially inflate billions of dollars worth of contracts.
According to oil officials who are testifying for the prosecution, some of the cash skimmed from the deals was diverted to the party and its allies.
The party says it remains sure of Mr Vaccari's innocence, "not only because of his conduct, but because in a democratic state everyone has the fundamental right to be considered innocent until proven guilty".
When he was first questioned in February Mr Vaccari said in a statement that the Workers' Party only receives legal contributions and that he would co-operate with investigators.
He said he answered their questions "with transparency".
Mr Vaccari was charged last month, becoming one of the most powerful political figures to have been named in the scandal.
His arrest was reportedly ordered because of concerns that he may influence the investigation or flee the country.
"Anyone responsible for such severe crimes, including using the position of treasurer of a political party to raise criminal funds and corrupt the political system, is a risk to public order," a judge handling the case, Sergio Moro, said in a court order.
Prosecutors say they have "ample proof" that Joao Vaccari, acting as the Workers' Party treasurer, asked for donations from former Petrobras services division chief Renato Duque and executives at companies who won Petrobras contracts.
Police have also questioned Mr Vaccari's wife, Giselda Rousie Lima, and have a warrant for his sister-in-law Marice Correia Lima in connection with the scandal.
During the wide-ranging investigation into Petrobras, dozens of executives from six of Brazil's largest engineering companies and two former Petrobras managers have been indicted for money laundering, bribery and of funnelling money from the company to politicians.
Prosecutors have asked the Supreme Court to investigate dozens of legislators including the speakers of both houses of Congress for allegedly receiving the bribes.
President Rousseff's opponents have argued that she must have known about the bribery scheme because she served as chairwoman on Petrobras's board at a time when it was taking place.
The scandal has meant Petrobras, one of the largest oil businesses in the world, has lost much of its market value since September.
Petrobras describes itself as the main driver behind the oil and natural gas sector contributing to 13% of Brazil's GDP.
The frenzy started two years ago, when she was still at the state department.
Her new book Hard Choices, out on Tuesday, focuses on her years as secretary of state, but only adds to the speculation and fever about a potential run.
In a downtown Chicago bar, the Ready for Hillary movement is in full swing.
With music and drinks, the political group known as a Super Pac (for political action committee) is urging Mrs Clinton to run for president in 2016.
And across the country, they're laying the groundwork for her candidacy. (Mrs Clinton is not formally affiliated with the group).
They're fundraising too. For $20.16 (hint, hint) supporters can mingle with politicians and senators. They have no doubt she will run and some are convinced she will win too, becoming America's first woman president.
But this is a presidential campaign without a presidential candidate at the moment.
And while everybody waits for Ms Clinton to make up her mind, no other Democratic contenders are really making a serious pitch for the party nomination yet, leading to criticism that she's frozen the field.
In her first interview on ABC News to publicise the book, Ms Clinton said other candidates should do what feels right for them, adding that she would make a decision "when it feels right for me to decide".
But in the Democratic Party, few seem to be able to fathom she won't run.
"I don't know that there is an alternative scenario that I've even thought about," said Illinois' Democratic Senator Dick Durbin at the Chicago event.
"We want her to know she is our first choice, we hope she says yes and we are ready to go. Hillary is our best standard bearer for the race."
Mrs Clinton's book tour is seen as a not-so-subtle pre-campaign effort to test the waters and reconnect with voters after her years at the state department, out of domestic politics.
Even Republicans admit Mrs Clinton will be a formidable candidate and opponent. The party is already focused almost full-time on tearing her record as secretary of state apart, but also getting ready to go years back in search of anything that hasn't been uncovered yet or that could be seen in a different light.
Sean Spicer, the communications director at the Republican National Committee, said there were still a lot of unknowns about Mrs Clinton.
"We need to do everything we can to make people understand that there is another side, that this book isn't just about Hard Choices, it was about bad choices," said Mr Spicer.
"And we want to make sure that as she's out there test-driving her campaign, that we tell people there is another side... a host of policy failures."
The former first lady has never been this popular. Her time out of politics worked to her benefit as she remained out of the fray, though the poll ratings have dipped since she left the state department.
But her critics and detractors are still out there, perhaps even more virulent than in 2008 because her chances of winning if she does run are higher than last time.
Some of the attacks, about her health and whether she suffered brain damage following a concussion in 2012, for example, are a precursor to the vitriol ahead.
Few if any other candidate in American history seemed to inspire such anger and the cottage industry to go along.
"The reality is that Hillary Clinton is part of the liberal Clinton machine. There are three words there - liberal, Clinton, machine - and that scares a lot of people in America," said Garret Marquis, the national spokesperson for the Stop Hillary campaign.
"And it's something that's been a divisive force for politics for 20 years in America," he added. "Hillary Clinton is a continuation of Barack Obama, she's a continuation of these liberal policies that are, frankly, destructing America. They are destructing America at home and abroad."
The reasons for Mrs Clinton to run are plentiful in the eyes of her supporters, from becoming the first woman president to pursuing domestic agenda issues that are dear to her or putting forward her vision for American global leadership.
But the ugliness of the political attacks and the gruelling schedule of the campaign will weigh on her decision-making process.
"When people ask me if I want her to run, I say yes as an American, I want her to run. But as someone who knows her and cares about her, I'm not so sure," said Lissa Muscatine, a long-time friend and former speechwriter who now runs an independent bookstore in Washington.
"She hasn't even announced that she's running and we've already seen the attacks start on the other side," she added. "And they're clearly going to be nasty and they're clearly going to get worse and she has an extremely thick skin. But how much of this do you want to subject yourself to?"
For now Mrs Clinton is continuing with her soft campaign, speaking at events across the country, giving interviews about her book, and dodging questions about a presidential run.
She is clearly revelling in the attention and as her book tour goes on and the next mid-term elections kick off, she will become more and more visible on the national stage.
Her challenge will be to pace herself and maintain the momentum until she's ready to make an announcement.
Barca - who beat Juventus in the final last May to win the European Cup for a fifth time - are without injured captain Lionel Messi but still have four players in the select XI.
Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech makes it in after a fine display against Bayern Munich - but he is the only Premier League player who makes the grade.

Manuel Neuer made a stunning one-handed save to deny Theo Walcott at one end but it was Petr Cech's stop from Robert Lewandowski at the start of the second half which proved to be the crucial moment as the Gunners went on to beat Bayern Munich 2-0.
Brazilian right-back Dani Alves has already won the Champions League three times with Barcelona and will fancy adding a fourth this season after another solid display during the 2-0 win against BATE Borisov.
Diego Godin's goals proved crucial as Atletico won La Liga in 2014 and reached the Champions League final, and he was immaculate at the back as his side thumped FC Astana 4-0 to keep pace with Group C leaders Benfica.
French champions Paris St-Germain shut out Real Madrid for the first time in 41 group games and Thiago Silva was a crucial factor - he made seven clearances and five interceptions at the back in the 0-0 draw.
As Barcelona enjoyed 74% possession against BATE, both full-backs were key outlets for the Spanish champions. Jordi Alba boasted a 90% pass accuracy rate and did not give away a single foul.
Barca's star man was not even in the starting XI on Tuesday night. Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic came off the bench after 18 minutes to replace the injured Sergi Roberto and scored twice after half time.
Atletico's Saul Niguez and midfield partner Gabi both had 124 touches in the 4-0 win over FC Astana - the most on the pitch, while only Jackson Martinez (five) had more than his three shots on goal.
When Miralem Pjanic curled in a brilliant free-kick to put Roma ahead after being 2-0 down against Bayer Leverkusen, a famous win looked on the cards for the Italian side. But two late goals gave Leverkusen a point in a stirring 4-4 draw.
With Lionel Messi injured for two months Neymar is even more important to Barcelona than ever - and the Brazilian set up both goals for match-winner Ivan Rakitic in Belarus.
Javier Hernandez missed a penalty for Manchester United during qualification for this season's Champions League but the Mexican may have found a home in Germany - his two goals helped Leverkusen come from behind to draw with Roma.
Porto are sitting pretty at the top of Group G with seven points from three games after a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Striker Vincent Aboubakar started it off with a header, one of five attempts he had on goal.
Christian Bagley, 30, was found with wounds to his arm and back near Hunderton Bridge at 22:50 BST on 21 June. He died in hospital.
The footage shows the individuals walking in the direction of the bridge at about 23:00 BST on the same day.
They may have seen something "vital" to the investigation, police said.
Senior investigating officer, Det Ch Insp Leighton Harding of West Mercia Police, said: "We have released this footage in the hope that the two individuals recognise themselves and come forward to police.
"They were seen walking towards the area where Christian was stabbed just after the incident and therefore may have seen something which could prove vital to the investigation.
"I would also like to thank the community for all their assistance with this investigation. Our enquires are ongoing and we are working to identify those responsible for Christian's death and any information from the public could prove useful."
One of the individuals is thought to be wearing light blue trousers, a light coloured jumper and a dark coloured back pack. The second person is also thought to be wearing light blue trousers, a dark blue or purple coat and a dark coloured backpack.
Earlier this month, CCTV images were released of a cyclist riding near the scene at the time of the stabbing.
The Shipbuilder and his Wife by Rembrandt van Rijn will go on show at the gallery from April during Hull's year as UK City of Culture.
Works by Hans Holbein, Canaletto and Sir Anthony van Dyck will also go on display.
The council said it was "fantastic news for the Ferens and its visitors".
A fifth item, Queen Victoria's jewel cabinet, is also being loaned to the Hull gallery. The pieces will be on display at different stages from now until 2021.
Kirsten Simister, curator of art at the Ferens, said the gallery was "thrilled".
"We are enormously excited that the UK City of Culture year brings a painting by Rembrandt to Hull to for the first time.
"It's a hugely significant work painted during the artist's late 20s, at which time he was at his most successful and fashionable," she said.
"Its subject matter complements Hull's maritime heritage and linked to this the Ferens' acknowledged strength in Dutch 17th Century art."
Jonathan Marsden, director of the Royal Collection Trust, said: "Following the great success of our exhibition Ten Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration at the Ferens in 2012, we are very happy to be continuing our relationship with the gallery until 2021, providing further opportunities for the people of Hull to experience and enjoy the Royal Collection."
On show in 2017 - Rembrandt van Rijn: The Shipbuilder and his Wife, 1633
Rembrandt's famous double portrait depicts master shipbuilder Jan Rijcksen, who was a shareholder in the Dutch East India Company, and his wife Griet Jans. He created this work during the height of his success as a portrait painter.
It will be on show at the Ferens until 28 August 2017.
2018 - Hans Holbein the Younger: Sir Thomas More, 1526-7
Holbein's portrait of the Tudor politician and author of Utopia has been held in the Print Room at Windsor Castle. Holbein stayed in More's house in Chelsea when he first arrived in England in 1526.
2019 - Sir Anthony van Dyck: Charles I, 1635-36
Charles I commissioned this portrait for the sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Rome, who was to create a marble bust of the king. The three views of Charles show the fashion at the time for men to wear their hair longer on the left.
2020 - Ludwig Grüner for Elkington, Mason and Co.: Jewel Cabinet, 1851
This large-scale jewel cabinet, designed in the form of a large casket, was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It portrays the prince and six of their children, along with the British Royal and Saxe-Coburg coats-of-arms.
2021 - Canaletto: A Regatta on the Grand Canal, 1733-4
This artwork by the renowned 18th Century painter depicts a race of one-oared light gondolas along a stretch of the Grand Canal towards the Rialto in Venice.
It is the seventh historical area in Wales to register a flag with the Flag Institute, a charity which manages a list of banners, with two other counties - the former Cardiganshire and Radnorshire areas - still campaigning for their own.
Dr Shaun Evans, who was one of the people behind Flintshire's new flag, said it won support from locals and the county council.
"It is primarily about celebrating and promoting an identity for Flintshire and help sell the county to the world," said Dr Evans.
But has your county got a flag, and do you recognise it?
Take our quiz below to find out.
This flag was launched in a flag dedication service in a local castle in 1988.
The banner is based on the flag of St David, with the Tudor rose symbolising Henry VII, who was born in this county.
The blue and green represent the land and cliffs of this region.
This flag dates from the 12th century but was officially registered in 2013.
It is based on a banner of the arms attributed to Iestyn ap Gwrgant, the last native ruler of the kindgom of Morgannwg, on which this county is based.
The design has been used by various councils in the area.
This flag dates from the 15th century.
The design of three lions and a chevron is believed to date back to local ruler, Hwfa ap Cynddelw. The earliest reference made to it appears to be in the work of the 15th century bard Lewys Glyn Cothi.
The arms were the recognisable county emblem before being registered as a flag, and were used by the local council, police and fire brigade.
This flag, featuring three goats and a sun, was registered in January 2015 as a traditional design which dates back to the 17th century.
It was an adaptation of the seal used by a former county council.
The design was based on a description of a banner borne by the men of the area at the Battle of Agincourt, in the 17th century poem of the same name by Michael Drayton.
This flag was registered in March 2012, but its origins date back to a 12th century king.
The three eagles on this flag represent the legendary ones of a mountainous region in this area, whose Welsh name means "nest of eagles".
The banner is originally understood to have been used by Owain Gwynedd, whose kingdom covered most of the present day county.
The design has also featured on the seal and arms on the later county council and the emblems of a number of local organisations.
The design of this flag dates back to the 14th century, when the choughs - the four black birds which feature on the standard - populated the coast of this county.
Although choughs no longer live in this region they have been retained on the emblem, which has been used by councils and local clubs.
The ancient arms is understood to be a banner posthumously assigned to Edwin Tegeingl, the 11th century Lord or King of Tegeingl, which formed the core of this county.
This flag dates back to the 6th century and is based on the arms attributed by medieval heralds to King Inyr, who was from the county it represents.
These arms have historically been part of the coat of arms of the local county council. They have also been used by local organisations including the rugby club.

Trans-Baikal regional officials say the deal with investment firm Huae Sinban could be worth up to $448m (£282m).
Local government leaders have signed a "letter of intent" with the company, Russia's Tass news agency reports.
Huae Sinban plans to rent the land for 49 years. China has made similar farming investments in other countries.
The timeframe and cost of the lease will be finalised "within a year", Trans-Baikal governor Konstantin Ilkovsky said.
Prof Natalya Zubarevich, an economist at Moscow State University, told BBC Russian that it would be "impractical" to lease such a huge area for farming, as the soil would require much work in a harsh climate.
"The investors will give it a go, and see what comes of it," she said.
Vegetable oil cultivation was being mentioned, she said, "but sunflowers don't grow in that region". "There's little pasture, because of the harsh continental climate. The Chinese are very capable, but can they cope with that climate? Apparently they'll use greenhouses."
However, a successful deal could further boost growing business ties between Moscow and Beijing, once bitter enemies.

1969: Border war between the two nations
1976: Tensions begin to ease following the death of Mao Zedong
1992: Russian President Boris Yeltsin visits China
1998: Joint communique pledging to build an "equal and reliable partnership"
2001: Treaty signed setting out a 20-year strategy for working together
2009: Over 40 contracts worth roughly $3bn agreed between the two countries
2010: Completion of first pipeline built between China and Russia
2014: Thirty-year gas deal worth $400bn (£266bn) agreed
Governor Ilkovsky said the plan was to employ about 1,000 people - locals and Chinese - on the leased farmland.
Vladimir Korsun, a China specialist at the Moscow International Relations Institute MGIMO, said that for Russia "there is no way to attract Chinese investment other than leasing land".
He told BBC Russian that the Chinese "require a government security and special favours, special conditions, such as giving them some territory".
In May 2014 Russia agreed to a 30-year gas deal worth $400bn with fuel-hungry China. A framework agreement for a second gas pipeline between western Siberia and north-west China has also been signed.
Russia has been looking east for investment following the imposition of economic sanctions by the West over Moscow's role in the Ukraine conflict.
President Vladimir Putin has met Chinese President Xi Jinping at least five times in the last year and the two have described themselves as "good friends".

Sara Neill reports.
It was spotted roaming around the Dowlais roundabout.
People were urged to approach with care.
The blaze broke out in the kitchen of the house in Long Cram in Haddington just before 08:00. The fire was put out by 10:20.
Two people in the house managed to escape and nobody else was hurt.
Police Scotland said they had reopened the road, which had been closed at the A6093 end. A diversion had been set up through Wellside.
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has submitted a planning application for a depot at the old Hotpoint site in Bodelwyddan.
Meanwhile, the Welsh government has offered financial aid to help a car components firm relocate to the site.
Hotpoint, which once employed 1,000 people, closed in 2009 with 300 job losses.
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has applied for permission for a depot and offices on the Kinmel Park Industrial Estate which would accommodate staff and contractors.
In a second development, the Welsh government has offered financial aid to help a Denbighshire car components firm relocate to the site, safeguarding 200 jobs.
Earlier this year, Reflex and Allen, which manufactures pneumatic and hydraulic tubing, announced plans to move into the former Hotpoint/Indesit site as part of a scheme to create an "automotive industrial park."
However, the deal with developers Hadleigh Industrial Estates fell through because of funding issues.
In a letter to Vale of Clwyd AM Ann Jones, Economy Minister Edwina Hart wrote: "I am pleased to inform you that Reflex and Allen has recently been offered a non-repayable RBF (Repayable Business Finance) to assist with the purchase of new equipment and fitting-out their proposed new premises in the old Indesit/Hotpoint factory site in Bodelwyddan, securing in the long term 200 jobs."
Ms Jones described it as an "exciting deal," adding: "This is the result of some protracted negotiations.
"We need more high-tech jobs in this area and I hope that other companies will show as much confidence as Reflex and Allen by investing here."
The prime minister accused critics of the Trident system of being "the first to defend the country's enemies".
MPs will vote later on whether to renew the UK's nuclear weapons programme.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who will vote against the government but whose party is split, warned of the effect that using an "indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction" could have.
But he faced repeated criticism from his own backbenchers who told him to state Labour's official policy, which is in favour of renewal.
Labour is currently reviewing its stance on Trident, and its MPs have been given a free vote in the Commons debate.
The SNP will oppose the government, but ministers are expected to win the vote.
MPs will be asked whether to press ahead with the manufacture of the next generation of nuclear submarines, set to be built at the BAE shipyard in Barrow.
Mrs May warned of the threat faced by the UK, saying: "We cannot afford to relax our guard."
The nuclear threat, she said, had "not gone away, if anything it has increased".
She said it would be irresponsible to discard the "ultimate insurance policy".
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas said Trident was "driving proliferation, not preventing it", prompting the PM to accuse her and other critics of defending the UK's enemies.
Stopping nuclear weapons being used, the PM said, was "not achieved by giving them up unilaterally".
Since 1969, according to government documents, a British submarine carrying nuclear weapons has always been on patrol, gliding silently beneath the waves, somewhere in the world's oceans.
The logic is to deter a nuclear attack on the UK because, even if the nation's conventional defence capabilities were destroyed, the silent submarine would still be able to launch a catastrophic retaliatory strike on the aggressor, a concept known as mutually assured destruction.
The submarines, based at Faslane on the River Clyde, carry up to eight Trident missiles; each can be fitted with a number of warheads.

Responding for Labour, Mr Corbyn - a life-long opponent of nuclear weapons - saying the UK should "step up to the plate" on disarmament.
He said the cost of renewal - currently £31bn - was "ballooning ever upwards".
"We on these benches, despite our differences on some issues, have always argued for the aim of a nuclear-free world," he said.
But he asked MPs to "pause" to consider the "catastrophic" effects of the use of nuclear weapons.
They had not stopped so-called Islamic State or former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, he said.
SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said Trident "was an immoral, obscene and redundant weapons system", saying the vote was "one of the most important this parliament will ever take".
Labour, he said, were "facing three ways at the same time and letting the government get away with this".
Mr Corbyn is at odds with many of his Labour MPs over the future of the UK nuclear weapons system and has commissioned a review led by shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry to look at its future.
Earlier shadow chancellor John McDonnell urged Labour MPs to "respect each other's views".
Labour deputy leader Tom Watson told the BBC he would vote in favour of renewal, saying he thought it was "unacceptable" for MPs to abstain.
"Now the government have made us take another vote on this, you cannot absolve yourself of responsibility for making a decision," he said.
He also warned that to oppose Trident would threaten security and cost jobs.
Ms Thornberry told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that she will abstain from the vote "because frankly the Tory government is playing games with us".
"It will make no difference to what the government does, the government is proceeding with it in any event," she said.
"This vote, in the last week of Parliament, is all about playing games with the Labour Party and trying to embarrass us."
But Defence Secretary Michael Fallon denied the vote was politically-motivated, saying the government was seeking Parliament's backing so it could get on with the renewal project and give confidence to the supply chain.
The estimated cost has risen in recent years, but Mr Fallon said a new delivery body would ensure the submarines were delivered "on time and on budget", saying the £31bn bill had to be against their 30-year lifespan.
Labour leadership hopeful Owen Smith, a former member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), said he would back renewal, saying he believed the world had become "more volatile, more insecure over the last few years". | Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (Hial) has reported a 13.3% overall rise in passenger numbers compared to the same quarter in 2016.

Spencer Vaughan, 27, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, lost his claim for damages from the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The High Court ruled the MoD was not liable for his injuries because the accident happened during time off.
Mr Vaughan's wife Jodie said even day-to-day tasks are a struggle for him.
The Royal Marine was injured in July 2009.
Speaking to Jamie Owen on BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme, Mrs Vaughan said they would try going back to the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme.
"The main thing he will need is a full medical pension because he can't go out now and work," she said.
"He's a tetraplegic so he can't move his legs or core. He's got no hand function so, putting socks on, simple day-to-day tasks are a struggle.
"At the moment he's still employed, but... once his operations have finished he will no longer be employed. We don't know what we'll do for money then.
"He needs somebody with him around the clock. He's very expensive now, just to survive."
Mrs Vaughan insisted her husband was not on a day off when the accident happened.
"They were due to set sail in the afternoon because they were waiting for the wind to change.
"They were told they could go and have a look around, so he and the other marines took the opportunity to go swimming.
"Everybody that we've spoken to, every military personnel, believes that while you're on exercise you're on duty 24/7 and I want to make people aware that isn't the case.
"Before he went to Gran Canaria, he was meant to be given some joining instructions and those instructions would have told him to take out travel insurance.
"The only thing he was covered for was while he was on the boat and sailing."
An MoD spokesman said: "Whilst we have the utmost sympathy for Mr Vaughan, the MoD is not responsible for the injuries he sustained following his tragic accident and in those circumstances we cannot pay damages from public funds." | The wife of a marine left paralysed after breaking his neck diving into shallow waters in the Canary Islands says she does not know what they will do for money when his employment ends. | 32,900,816 | 483 | 40 | false |
Andrew Bedford, 27, from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, was last seen at 18:20 BST on Friday, 28 September 1990 at Factory Bank, off Great Whyte, Ramsey.
Three people were arrested in connection but no-one was charged.
Police say they now believe he was shot dead later that Friday. The cold case investigation has now officially become a murder inquiry, officers said.
Mr Bedford was last seen eating a takeaway in a light blue Ford Cortina car.
Despite extensive searches involving police helicopters and divers, a nationwide poster campaign and a Crimestoppers reconstruction no trace of Mr Bedford was found.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "It was always known murder was a strong possibility but his body was never found."
However, detectives believe he was killed with a shotgun sometime during the evening of 28 September at a garage called Mongrel Cars, which no longer exists, in Ramsey.
Three people arrested on 30 September 1990 on suspicion of murdering Mr Bedford were released without charge.
Det Insp Ian Simmons from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "Having reviewed the circumstances of Andrew's disappearance and given nearly 25 years have passed, we are now confident he is dead and was murdered.
"A team of detectives... is devoted to the cold case and we want to speak to anyone who has any information about Mr Bedford's disappearance and death."
The prime suspect for the shooting is now dead, "but others who were involved have never been brought to justice", the spokesman added.
When Mr Bedford was last seen he was wearing overalls, a khaki jumper, jeans and trainers. He was described as 5ft 8in (1.72m), medium build with mousey blond, curly, shoulder-length hair and had a number of tattoos.
Officials have confirmed they spotted debris near the town of Oksibil.
The Trigana Air flight was heading to the town from the provincial capital, Jayapura, when it lost contact at 14:55 local time (05:55 GMT) on Sunday.
The plane was carrying 44 adult passengers, five children and infants, and five crew members.
It is not yet known if anyone survived.
Indonesian post office officials told the BBC the plane was also carrying four bags containing about 6.5 billion rupiah ($486,000; £300,000) in cash, which was being taken to villages in remote areas.
"Our colleagues carry those bags to be handed out directly to poor people over there," said the head of Jayapura's post office, Haryono, who goes by only his first name.
The head of Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, Bambang Soelistyo, said a search plane had spotted suspected debris and billowing smoke at 8,500 feet above sea level, about 50km (31 miles) from Oksibil Airport.
About 50 search and rescue workers, soldiers, and policemen are making their way from Oksibil to the site.
The ATR42-300 twin turboprop plane took off from Sentani airport in Jayapura at 14:21, but lost contact with air traffic controllers half an hour later.
Bad weather is believed to have been a possible reason for the crash. A search plane was forced to turn back on Sunday because of dangerous flying conditions.
Villagers had earlier told officials that a plane had crashed into a mountain.
Bad weather and rugged terrain are said to be hampering efforts to reach the site.
Oksibil, which is about 280km south of Jayapura, is a remote, mountainous region, which is extremely difficult to navigate.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo has expressed his condolences on Twitter and called for the country to "pray together" for the victims.
Trigana Air has had 14 serious incidents since it began operations in 1991, losing 10 aircraft in the process, according to the Aviation Safety Network.
It has been on a European Union blacklist of banned carriers since 2007. All but four of Indonesia's certified airlines are on the list.
Indonesia has suffered two major air disasters in the past year.
Last December an AirAsia plane crashed in the Java Sea, killing all 192 people on board - and in July a military transport plane crashed in a residential area of Medan, Sumatra claiming 140 lives.

A team of Microsoft researcher have been helping children who have trouble seeing learn how to code.
Coding usually involves you dragging and dropping blocks of commands together.
This means you can create programs that can move a character around a maze or speed through space.
Children who can't see very well usually have trouble with this part of coding because they have difficulty looking at the blocks of code on a computer.
Now though thanks to a special project called Project Torino they can make code using plastic pods to create programmes.
St Beuno's in Gwyddelwern, which has plants growing out of its spire, will use the Heritage Lottery Fund grant for work on the spire, tower and roof.
Church wardens hope the work will allow the building to reopen for church services and community use.
A church is believed to have stood on the site since the seventh century.
Canon Martin Snellgrove, the rector of the Corwen group of parishes, said the appearance of the church was a central problem for the village.
"We haven't even got to get out of your car and get below 30mph to see that there are that there are trees growing out of the spire which have been there for some years and there has been lots of masonry falling off the top of the tower damaging the spire," he told BBC Radio Wales.
"On of the most regular effects [of the church being closed] is that the school children who usually cross the churchyard to get to the canolfan (centre) where they do various activities have to take the long route by the road because the church is closed because it's unsafe.
"The congregation is meeting in a committee room in the canolfan and we have had two funerals that I know of in the last year and one wedding that have had to be located elsewhere.
"It would be good to have our building back."

Manager Ronald Koeman, though, later confirmed that Targett had suffered no serious damage.
Koeman's side were good value for their fifth successive away victory, against a Rangers side who created few clear chances, although substitute Mauro Zarate had a goal disallowed after Mane scored.
Tim Sherwood, who is expected to be Redknapp's permanent replacement, was not at Loftus Road to witness a game that suggested QPR have a lot of work to do if they are to remain in the Premier League.
Stand-in boss Ramsey attempted to freshen up QPR's side by giving Adel Taarabt - dismissed as not fit enough to play by Redknapp earlier this season - only his second league start of the campaign.
The Moroccan midfielder showed some neat touches, including a clever nutmegging of James Ward-Prowse, but was largely well policed by Victor Wanyama and was substituted after an hour.
Eljero Elia, who scored his first two Southampton goals when they won their last away game at Newcastle on 17 January, nearly embarrassed Rob Green early on, chipping wide from Wanyama's pass with the Rangers keeper out of position.
The visitors had the best first-half chances, with Fonte coming closest as he volleyed Ward-Prowse's corner against the bar from eight yards.
Mane had tested Green before that, and steered a shot wide after running in behind Clint Hill later in the half.

Rangers created more openings in the second half, with Zarate steering a shot straight at Fraser Forster after Nathaniel Clyne failed to clear Phillips' cross.
Forster then reacted superbly to flick over a Joey Barton shot that was deflected off QPR's 13-goal top scorer Charlie Austin.
But Mane, playing his second Saints game since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, capped an excellent performance with a stylish winner.
Southampton boss Ronald Koeman on Matt Target's head injury: "Everything is now under control. He will have a headache but nothing more. That's good news."
On his side's performance: "I think we played well. We played good football and we had the best chances in the game. We were maybe lucky that Fraser Forster made that great save 10 minutes before the end, but I think the better team won today."
QPR caretaker-manager Chris Ramsey: "If I'm honest, I felt we rode our luck a bit in the first half. But the defeat was very difficult to take.
"It gives a lot of hope to the owners and fans to see that the players are trying their best to keep us in the division. We had some good spells of play, but we really need to tighten up on the quality of our passing and our creativity in the final third."

Two air ambulances were sent to the incident on the A4043 Cwmavon Road, near Pontypool, at about 19:00 BST.
Two people have been flown to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
Paramedics are treating six other casualties, with reports some may be trapped in the wreckage. The road remains closed in both directions.
Sergei Ivanov, 55, was last seen in Papa Westray last Monday morning.
Police Scotland said there was concern for his welfare.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact police on 101.
Richard Pentreath, 63, also known as Hilary Clifford Thomas, is wanted on suspicion of causing arson with intent to endanger life on Thursday.
On Monday, he was found guilty of historical rape offences in his absence after failing to attend Woolwich Crown Court in London, police have said.
He is thought to have left Prestatyn by train in the early hours.
He was last seen at Crewe Railway Station in Cheshire on Thursday at 05:30 BST.
A warrant was issued for his arrest following Monday's court case.
Police said he has links to the London, Gloucester and Manchester areas.
He is described as white, over 6ft tall (1.82m), with a slim build.
He has short dark swept back hair and a full grey beard. He also wears glasses. He was last seen wearing a dark coloured bobble hat, a waist length brown jacket and dark coloured jeans or trousers.
Det Chf Insp Ian Verburg from North Wales Police said: "We are in contact with other police forces, including British Transport Police, and are appealing for anybody who may have seen him, or anybody who may know of his whereabouts, to contact North Wales Police immediately.
"I would urge him to hand himself in at the nearest police station."
The investigation into Princess Cruise Lines followed a tip-off that the company had illegally discharged oily waste off the coast of England in 2013.
The department said the firm had also tried to cover up its waste dumping.
It has agreed to plead guilty to seven charges related to stops at ports in nine US states and two territories.
The charges relate to the Caribbean Princess cruise ship, which the department said had been making illegal discharges since 2005, one year after the vessel started operations.
This was done using equipment - including a so-called "magic pipe" - to bypass pollution-prevention tools that separate oil and monitor oil levels in the ship's water, the department said.
US investigators began to probe the ship's actions after an engineer reported an illegal dump off the coast of England in August 2013.
The engineer quit his position when the ship reached Southampton.
The ports linked to the charges were in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the department said.
Jeremy Smart, head of enforcement at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said the case sent "a clear message to the industry that this kind of pollution practice will not be tolerated anywhere in the world".
Princess Cruise Lines is a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, the world's largest cruise company.
The US Justice Department said the fine was the largest-ever criminal penalty involving deliberate vessel pollution.
British number three Evans, 26, won for the first time on clay at ATP Tour level on Monday when he beat Thiago Monteiro in his tournament opener.
He will play world number nine Dominic Thiem next after the Austrian beat Britain's Kyle Edmund 6-1 6-4.
Meanwhile, British number four Aljaz Bedene beat Marius Copil in Budapest.
Bedene was supposed to take on Federico Delbonis, but the Argentine failed to recover from an injury that caused him to retire from an event in Morocco earlier this month.
Instead, Bedene overcame his Romanian stand-in Copil 7-5 6-2 in an hour and 26 minutes.
Bedene has now lost only once in his past 19 matches after three tournament wins on the second-tier Challenger circuit. He will face Dutchman Robin Haase in the next round.
Elsewhere, British world number one Andy Murray will face Bernard Tomic in Barcelona on Wednesday after the Australian beat Dustin Brown in three sets.
That is the kind of technological feat that won Shaheed Ebrahim, owner of the Escape to the Cape tour company, the 2011/2012 Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year award in South Africa.
Last year, about 4.5 million tourists visited Cape Town, so there is fierce competition to attract customers from this growing market.
"There are hundreds of tour operators out in Cape Town but the difference is that we've taken technology that's available and put it onto our tours, thereby enhancing the tours," he told the BBC's series African Dream.
"What's the technology I'm talking about? Wi-fi on a moving vehicle, so somebody could be taking a photo, say of Table Mountain, and as you drive into the next spot, they could be Facebooking it and Tweeting it, and emailing it to anybody," he explained.
He added that his company also provides customised telephony applications on board.
"With Skype they could call whichever country they want to. We've got applications for the US clients so they can call a landline or a mobile number in the US from the complimentary iPads that we have on the vehicle."
Escape to the Cape has also thought about something which can be a real nightmare for tourists in many parts of the world - finding the right adaptors for their electric equipment.
"Every seat virtually has got a facility to charge any device - whether it's a cell phone, whether it's an iPod or iPad, whatever device that they have, and in all about 12 gadgets could be charged simultaneously," the entrepreneur said.
Besides the communication technology, there is also a fridge on board for the clients to use, and he offers them complimentary water or a taste of some of the world-famous Western Cape wines.
Mr Ebrahim knows from experience what visitors to a foreign country usually expect.
After completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree in marketing, he worked for a few years in the United Kingdom and travelled widely.
In August 2009, he left his job as a private banker when he was asked to relocate to India - where the bank he worked for was based - and was planning to open a petrol station.
But his wife, knowing that he enjoyed showing visiting relatives and friends around Cape Town, advised him to do an accredited tour guiding course, in time for the football World Cup which took place in South Africa in 2010, so that he could be part of the experience.
"In October 2009, I completed the course and started guiding part-time till the World Cup came, where I was kept quite busy," the entrepreneur remembers.
"It went so well that I continued but always having in the back of my mind that this was only a part-time thing."
However, inspired by his dream of being his own boss, his flair for entrepreneurship and his love for Cape Town, he decided to start his tour company.
He spent around $4,000 (£2,500) to register it, get a website and pay for marketing collaterals.
Mr Ebrahim then took out around $32,000 out of his mortgage to buy a 7-seater vehicle to which he added the latest gadgets.
"My medium-term plan for this business is to grow my own fleet so that I can have more vehicles around Cape Town and my long-term plan is to actually go national, around South Africa. I have had many private-equity funders wanting me to go national," the entrepreneur said.
Prashant Bajaj, an Indian tourist who was spending his honeymoon with his wife Risha in Cape Town, told the BBC's Mohammed Allie that it was the availability of the latest technology that attracted them to use Escape to the Cape.
"It was very unique and I think it was very innovative for someone to do that. The technology is really advancing, and I think it's a very good idea for him to incorporate technology into tourism. I think it's the best idea ever because it makes life easier for us," he said.
"In a sense, all of us carry our own cameras but it's easier to just upload them down the iPad and, while going, we can view it even more efficiently so it makes life easier, and through the wi-fi you can easily transfer the data immediately on your laptop."
So what advice does Mr Ebrahim have for people who would like to start their own business?
"Follow your instinct, do some research but most of all enjoy what you are doing, then take a calculated risk," he said.
"Without having a passion or enjoying what you're doing, getting up every morning wanting to do it, you're not going to succeed and I've had personal experience of this.
"Secondly, it's the perseverance because many times you get into an industry - whether it's tourism or anything else - you get inundated and you get sucked into the old industry that's going on, and all the negativity, so you need to persevere in terms of bad times as well, and thirdly, you have to be innovative, you have to come up with something different."

Supply teacher Caroline Andrews, 52, was found dead at a house in The Street, Benenden, on 4 February.
Stuart Andrews, 54, who appeared before Judge Jeremy Carey at Maidstone Crown Court spoke only to confirm his name.
He was remanded in custody and is next due to appear at the same court on 1 April. A provisional trial date was set for 25 July.
A post-mortem examination showed mother-of-four Mrs Andrews died from strangulation.
Two are British citizens - the third a UK resident. At least one of them is reported to be of Iraqi Kurdish origin.
The men were in possession of 22 firearms and more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition, police say.
They are suspected of being part of a "criminal gang". They are due to be charged on Tuesday.
They have reportedly asked to speak in court in Kurdish.
The UK Foreign Office says it is "urgently looking into the reports".
No names have been released.
The weapons were not combat rifles but could have been used for training, a police official told Reuters news agency.
Acting on a tip-off, the Greek police and coast guard set up a surveillance operation over several days which led to the arrest of two of the men at the entrance to Alexandroupolis port.
They were driving a car towing a caravan. Concealed inside it, police found 18 guns, 39,750 cartridges, currencies including Turkish lira and Iraqi dinars, and seven mobile phones.
Another man was arrested near the Kipoi border point on the Evros river, as he was driving a trailer with German number plates.
Inside, police found four Walther handguns, 200,000 cartridges, eight night-vision goggles and cash in various currencies.
Amal El-Wahabi, 28, tried to trick a friend into carrying 20,000 euros (£15,800) to Turkey, the court heard.
Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC told El-Wahabi that she knew her husband Aine Davis was involved in fighting and she was sending him cash to help his cause.
Davis, a former drug dealer with a conviction for possessing a firearm, left the UK in July 2013.
The judge said El-Wahabi should spend half the sentence in prison and then be released to spend the remainder on licence. He said the length of the sentence had been influenced by the fact that she was the mother of two young children.
In January this year, Davis, also known as Hamza, asked his wife to arrange the delivery of cash to neighbouring Turkey.
El-Wahabi, from north London, persuaded an old school friend, Nawal Msaad, to act as courier in return for 1,000 euros.
However, the plan fell apart when Ms Msaad was stopped at Heathrow Airport and confirmed to police that she was carrying the cash. A court later heard claims that she had hidden it in her underwear.
Ms Msaad told the trial earlier this year that she did not realise what the cash was for - and she was found not guilty of being part of the plot.
Sentencing El-Wahabi, Judge Hilliard said that there was clear evidence that Davis had gone to Syria to fight under the black flag of Isis and also that he had "no true regard" for her.
"I am also satisfied that you knew he was engaged in violence with guns for extremist religious and ideological reasons and knew the money you were sending was destined for that purpose."
Judge Hilliard said that her two children, aged five and 17 months, had been "innocent victims" of the crime.
In mitigation, Mark Summers QC, appealed for a suspended sentence saying that El-Wahabi had lived under the "constant threat" that her husband would leave her for another wife in Syria.
But prosecutor Kate Wilkinson said that El-Wahabi had stayed in contact with Davis and had encouraged his activities.
She had sent one message saying that "it will be good for your body and soul".
Judge Hilliard said: "I am satisfied that the initiative for this offence must have come from Aine Davis and you committed it because you were infatuated with him and thought he might provide for you and your two children.
"You even contemplated taking your children to Turkey to be nearer their father, when it should have been obvious to you it was in their interests they should be as far away from him as possible."
Acting Commander Terri Nicholson of the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command said: "A necessary component of terrorism is finance. Whether the funding of terrorism takes place in the UK or overseas, the offences are serious and will be subject to thorough investigation. In this case, a large quantity of cash was seized which would otherwise have supported terrorist activity in the Syrian conflict.
"This conviction should be viewed as a very clear message not to support those engaged in terrorism. There are well established charities through which people can donate for humanitarian purposes in Syria.
"These charities have experience in providing such assistance in high risk, insecure and dangerous environments. Donations must be made via these routes."
Tom Condliff, 62, of Stoke-on-Trent, lost his Court of Appeal battle to make North Staffordshire PCT pay for the procedure on Wednesday.
He said he needed the operation to save his life after becoming obese from the drugs he takes for long-term diabetes.
The Supreme Court has now rejected his application for a hearing.
Mr Condliff's solicitor Oliver Wright confirmed the refusal saying "it is the end of the line."
He said: "We could go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, but that will take years and he will be dead well before that.
"He is a dying man. His doctors in April this year gave him about a year."
The grandfather has a body mass index (BMI) of 43 - not high enough under his PCT's rules to qualify for surgery.
Only patients with a BMI above 50 are routinely treated with weight loss surgery in North Staffordshire.
Mr Condliff's lawyers had argued that the PCT had applied a funding policy which was legally flawed and breached his human rights.
He lost a High Court battle over the PCT's decision not to fund the operation in April.
On Wednesday, Appeal Court judges expressed sympathy for Mr Condliff saying: "Anyone in his situation would feel desperate."
But they maintained the PCT "on proper medical advice does not consider his condition to be exceptional for someone with his diabetes, obesity and co-morbidities".
Mr Condliff also argued that it was also more cost effective for the NHS if he had the procedure.
The operation costs £5,500 and his current treatment costs at least £30,000 and will rise as his condition worsens, his solicitor said.
He suffers from 13 illnesses, takes 28 different drugs and uses breathing masks and inhalers.
Matthew and Nawwar Bryant said Zachary, a "loving, happy, and perfect little baby", was the light of their lives.
"He leaves us with the best three months and 14 days of wonderful memories spent in this world," they said in a statement.
A man has been charged with five murders over the incident on Friday.
Dimitrious Gargasoulas, 26, was remanded in custody on Monday to face a court hearing in August.
Police allege he deliberately drove a car into pedestrians in Bourke St Mall in central Melbourne, killing five people and injuring 37 others.
Three of those killed have been identified as Thalia Hakin, 10, Jess Mudie, 22, and Matthew Si, 33. Another victim, a 25-year-old man from Japan, has not been named.
Zachary's two-year-old sister, Zara, was also injured in the incident and remains in a stable condition.
"Zac, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and always will," the Bryants said, as they released photos of their two children.
Thousands of mourners attended a public vigil in central Melbourne on Monday night.
The city's Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, thanked the crowd for its support following "an unthinkable act".
"Melbourne is our home," he said. "When it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us."
An Air India official told the BBC that the order had been made on the basis of a document issued by the civil aviation authority last year.
The airline had warned 600 of its crew to "shape up" last year, but 125 had not managed to maintain the required weight, the official said.
The airline says however that the issue is not one of weight, but "fitness".
Airline officials confirmed to the BBC that the directive had been issued, but said it was part of an internal document which they could not comment on publicly.
They said the basis for the recommendation was concern that "unfit" cabin crew would not be able to operate efficiently in emergency situations.
Aviation regulations state that a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18-25 is normal for a male cabin crew member, while for a female it is 18-22.
Aviation expert Kapil Kaul told the BBC: "An overweight crew is a signal the airline is not fit. You need a smart friendly agile crew that can complement the image of the airline."
However, national union leader Tapan Sen denied that service rules mention any firm weight restriction for cabin crew.
This is not the first time Air India has grounded staff over weight issues. In 2009, it dismissed nine hostesses for being "overweight" on safety grounds saying their shape could "impair agility".
In 2004, the airline landed itself in further controversy when it said that potential air hostesses and stewards should not have any scars, acne, or any major marks on the face.
The Tinsley Art Project aims to appoint an artist to develop a design worth up to £450,000.
The piece will be Sheffield's largest-ever public art commission and will be funded by energy company E.ON.
The company pledged the money to the council after the structures were demolished in August 2008.
Andrew Skelton, public art officer at Sheffield City Council, said: "It's an area of change, hope and aspiration."
"Tinsley was an absolute heart of our industrial history, but now it's a fantastic area of bio-diversity - a really rich and pleasant environment to be in."
The project will be in addition to the construction of the man of steel sculpture which will overlook the M1 at Kimberworth.
Mr Skelton said: "I'm hoping that we'll get something that is really innovative and exciting - the crucial thing is that it draws people down there.
"In a fantastic part of the city, the regeneration is happening and people should go down and enjoy it. "
Arter, 26, and his fiancee Rachel were left grieving last December when their daughter Renee was still-born.
The midfielder admits the tragedy means he has a changed perspective.
"Before that, this would have been the be all and end all for me. If I didn't get in the squad, I would probably have been devastated," says Arter.
Over the next few days, Arter will discover whether or not Republic boss Martin O'Neill has included him in his 23-man squad for France.
If O'Neill leaves Arter out, the Bournemouth midfielder will be "disappointed" but it will be in context.
"I certainly know what devastation means now, it has a completely different meaning to me. If I did miss out, it would be a disappointment, certainly not devastation.
"I have tried to stay professional throughout. Luckily for me, I am passionate about football and I have had something to focus my mind on after what happened.
"Some people, unfortunately it takes over their life."
Should Arter make the plane, he says he will climb on board with his daughter firmly in his mind.
"I want to try to do her proud, I want to try to make my family proud. It's still pretty raw in the sense that it's only been just over five months.
"In my eyes and my family's eyes, she was with us for nine months. I am proud to say she was my daughter and I want to try to do her proud if she is watching."
Professionally, a trip to the Euros would cap a remarkable turn-around for a man who dropped down into the non-league ranks after being released by Charlton as a teenager.
The London native rebuilt his career at Woking before being snapped up by the Cherries, where he played a key role in their promotion to the Premier League during the 2014-15 campaign.
Injuries have hampered him this season but he still has played his part in keeping Bournemouth in the top flight.
Arter is hoping to earn his second Irish cap in Friday's game against the Netherlands in Dublin after making his debut against England a year ago.
"Regardless of the journey, to go to the Euros would be a dream come true for any player who has never experienced it. The journey is just part of my story, really."
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 jumped to finish the day 4.1% up, at 16,746.55 points, the highest point for the index in just over three weeks.

Shares in commodity giants Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton rose by 4.7% and 4.37% respectively.
Moody's cuts China outlook
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index closed the session up 3.07% at 20,003.49, extending the global rally as investor sentiment brightened on the improved US economic data.
China's mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite also followed the upbeat regional trend and finished the trading day up 4.26% to 2,849.68.
Investor sentiment remained unfazed by US ratings agency Moody's decision to cut its outlook for China from stable to negative.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index finished up 1.6% at 1,947.42 points.
Car makers Hyundai and Kia also rose, boosted by strong sales figures from the US.
Joint sales figures of the affiliated car markers rose by 6.4% in the US in February.

Sion Simon, Labour's West Midlands metro mayor candidate, is among people calling for public ownership of the road to ease congestion on other roads.
But the Department for Transport said buying the road, which links Cannock and Coleshill, would cost about £1bn.
Midlands Expressway, which operates the M6 Toll, said it already carried 85% to 90% of through traffic at peak times.
For this reason, the firm added, making the road free would be of "little benefit" for reducing wider congestion.
However, Mr Simon claimed the road was often "empty".
"We need support from the government to take that road into regional control, making it free and taking the pressure off roads in the conurbation so people can move around," he said.
But Bob Sleigh, the Conservative leader of Solihull Council and chairman of the West Midlands Combined Authority, said the problem was drivers were using motorways for local journeys and were "junction hopping".
The answer was improving the local road network instead, he said.
The 27-mile route in the West Midlands opened in 2003 at a cost of £900m to build.
Car drivers are charged £5.50 and HGVs £11 to use the road during the week.
There is some support for the government's view that the Islamic State group was behind the attack, but other writers accuse the authorities of neglecting public security.
Kurdish and left-wing voices have gone so far as to accuse the authorities of carrying out the attacks in a bid, they say, to weaken the pro-Kurdish opposition ahead of November's snap parliamentary election.
Arab media are generally accusing Turkey of a lax approach to armed Islamist groups.
Turkish television channels of all political complexions have been leading on the story.
Pro-government channels carried official statements vowing to punish those responsible, while opposition stations highlighted calls by pro-Kurdish and other opposition parties for ministers to resign.
Pro-opposition Fox TV noted "tension at the commemorative ceremony" as police stopped mourners from laying flowers at the scene.
Centre-right newspapers generally support the government view. Hurriyet and Milliyet say (in Turkish) evidence points to Islamic State, while Vahdet sees the blasts as the group's attempt to turn the country "into another Syria".
Nonetheless, pro-government Aksam promotes a theory that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad ordered the rebel Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to plant the bombs.
Opposition papers are far more critical of the authorities. Left-wing Evrensel and Birgun call on the government to resign over security lapses, while pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem bluntly dubs President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "murderer".
Secular Cumhuriyet also highlights alleged security failings. It headlines its website "bomb exploded as police stood by or watched", saying there were at least 20 undercover police officers in the vicinity.
Kurdish online media lead on the PKK and its allies accusing the government of carrying out the bomb attacks as what they say is part of an election ploy.
They highlight a PKK statement saying "nobody else is behind the massacre apart from Erdogan and his counter-guerrilla team", while the pro-PKK Kurdish National Congress holds the governing AKP party and President Erdogan "responsible for the Ankara massacre".
Both statements draw parallels between the bombings and deadly attacks on pro-Kurdish rallies in Suruc and Diyarbakir earlier this year, accusing the state of carrying them out in order to end the Turkey-PKK "peace process".
The pro-PKK Roj News website highlights comments by Hatip Dicle, co-leader of the Kurdish Democratic Society Congress, equating the "mentality of the AKP and Islamic State".
Arab media cover the story in less detail and, although they generally agree that Islamic State is to blame, many accuse the Turkish government of being soft on jihadists.
Egypt's official Al-Ahram newspaper accuse the government of making the country a "target for terrorism" through its "lax attitude" to jihadists crossing borders.
This view is shared by Syrian official newspapers and Lebanon's pro-Syrian Al-Safir, which accuse President Erdogan of playing politics with people's lives in the run-up to early parliamentary elections next month.
Saudi Arabia's Al-Madinah is more sympathetic, and urges international cooperation to "expose those who support terrorism". The Saudi-owned London newspaper Al-Hayat sees a "widening rift" between the government and Kurds in Turkey.
Iranian media made little comment on the story, and outlets that did pick it up were firmly anti-Erdogan.
The official Arabic-language Iranian TV channel Al-Alam notes opposition accusations that the government is behind the attack, and the conservative newspaper Resalat sees Saturday's blasts as further evidence that President Erdogan is "losing authority at home and abroad".

In fact in its statement the central bank said that while the intention was to keep the yuan "basically stable", market forces will be given a bigger role in the economy.
Analysts say that could indicate that there may be further devaluation of the currency ahead - although China says this is a one-off event to react to a "complex situation" which "is posing new challenges".
So why is this important?
Well, Washington has been pressing Beijing to allow its currency to reflect what it thinks is its fair, higher value - the US argues that China keeps its exchange rate unfairly low so as to keep the price of its goods more affordable when they're sold overseas.
But China watchers say there's another reason behind the devaluation - and one that's far closer to home.
The Chinese currency has effectively strengthened against other Asian currencies in the last 12 months - by more than 10%. This makes Chinese goods more expensive abroad.
Then came the shocker - this weekend's export figures - showing that exports slumped by 8.3% from a year ago.
That's worrying news for Chinese factories, which in turn provide jobs for millions of Chinese villagers.
Economists say the government may be trying to avoid job losses at these factories by weakening the yuan.
The export story is just one part of it however. Analysts have also pointed to China's longer-term goal of turning the yuan into a global reserve currency.
Later this year the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to announce whether or not the Chinese yuan will be allowed into the elite currency club which includes the dollar, the euro, the pound and the yen.
In the past the IMF has said that China needs to have a flexible exchange rate, so that the value of the yuan adjusts to China's growth - the way currencies do in other market-driven economies.
The devaluation could be seen as a step in the right direction, but one that may well be viewed with caution by China's trade partners who are already wary of what they see as the Chinese government's management of financial markets.

The Hole In the Wall Gang comedy group, brought to prominence Radio Ulster's Talkback programme, also performed at the concert.
On television, the documentary, Radio Days, was broadcast from 22:35 GMT on BBC One NI.
Narrated by Stephen Nolan, the programme heard from the station's presenters and listeners about the station's legacy.
It followed loyal listeners and features rare behind the scenes archive footage.
Presenters Walter Love, Wendy Austin, Hugo Duncan and Stephen Nolan talked about their time at the station.
Fergus Keeling, Head of Radio, BBC Northern Ireland, said he hoped Monday's events would be the station's way of "giving our listeners something special back".
"They've joined in our birthday broadcasts, they have helped make this year special and they are the reason we do what we do."
He thanked presenters and guests "for taking the time to help us celebrate in this way".
"Most of all though, I'd like to thank our listeners old and new. This night is for them."
BBC Director General Tony Hall said: "Congratulations to everyone who's contributed to BBC Radio Ulster over these last 40 years - whether in news, arts and drama, music or sports.
"But, above all, I'd like to thank our listeners for their loyalty, their stories and their support."
Broadcasting legends John Bennett and Walter Love joined the Stephen Nolan Show to talk about what has changed at Radio Ulster. ‬

The Tunisians had made the allegations over a controversial penalty in a Nations Cup quarter-final defeat by Equatorial Guinea on 31 January.
Caf has, however, rejected Tunisia's appeal against a $50,000 fine for violent conduct by its players.
Furious Tunisia players had tried to attack the referee after the game.
The north Africans were incensed when Mauritian referee Rajindraparsad Seechurn awarded the tournament hosts a penalty in the dying minutes which allowed them to take the game to extra-time and ultimately triumph 2-1.
Tunisian officials accused Caf of bias against it for the contentious decision.
Seechurn was banned for six months by Caf for his performance in the match.
And Caf threatened Tunisia with expulsion from the preliminary tournament of the next Nations Cup if it did not receive an apologise by 31 March.
Tunisia initially refused to do so and lodged a protest with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which they have now agreed to withdraw.
Speaking in the House of Lords, Lord Dunlop said the government is fully committed to the Agreement.
His statement came following the collapse of the Stormont executive over a botched green energy scheme.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has called for "joint authority" instead of direct rule.
He said that joint authority between the UK and Irish governments was the only "acceptable position for the nationalist community" should the Stormont institutions fail to be re-established after the election.
On Sunday, the Northern Ireland secretary of state said he was not contemplating any alternatives to a devolved government.
James Brokenshire refused to be drawn on the prospect of direct rule or joint authority with the Irish government.
BBC Sport looks at five things things you may have missed on a day when League Two leaders Northampton Town moved to within three points of securing promotion.
It has been a grim season for Charlton fans.
The Addicks have spent most of the campaign in the second tier's relegation zone and angry supporters have staged several protests against unpopular Belgian owner Roland Duchatelet.
Saturday's home game against Birmingham City was held up after just a few seconds as home supporters threw hundreds of small sponge footballs on to the pitch.
Groundstaff and players were forced to collect and remove the stressballs before the game could get under way in earnest.
Blues took the lead through Jon Toral before Johann Berg Gudmundsson levelled prior to half-time.
It looked like that would be it before Jorge Teixeira, seen above helping clear the playing field, scored a 94th-minute winner to keep Charlton's slim survival hopes alive.
However, Fulham's win against fellow strugglers MK Dons means the Addicks are still six points adrift of 21st place.
Rotherham v Leeds just about had it all.
Lee Frecklington, a boyhood Leeds fan, gave the Millers a first-half lead when he scored from close range.
The hosts were then reduced to 10 men after the break when Matt Derbyshire saw red for an elbow on Leeds full-back Gaetano Berardi.
Leeds substitute Luke Murphy's late deflected strike looked to have won his side a share of the spoils before keeper Marco Silvestri was sent off for upending Frecklington in the box.
With all three subs used, defender Giuseppe Bellusci took the gloves and jersey but was unable to prevent Greg Halford's penalty earning Rotherham a fifth win in six.
Shaun Miller didn't mess about for Morecambe on Saturday.
The former Crewe and Sheffield United man scored his 14th goal of the season after just 54 seconds of his side's 4-2 win over Barnet.
Shaun Beeley's long ball beat the Bees defence and Miller kept his composure to lob the ball over visiting goalkeeper Graham Stack.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Miller was at it again after just eight minutes, slotting home from the spot after Stack had fouled him in the area.
Unfortunately there would be no matchball to remember the game by as a succession of chances came and went for the 28-year-old.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson built up something of a reputation for seeing his team pull off winners in time added on.
This was best exemplified when the Red Devils scored twice in injury time to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the 1999 Champions League final.
A mere 17 years later his son Darren is enduring a far more difficult time in charge of League One strugglers Doncaster Rovers.
Last week he was moved to call his team "a complete embarrassment" after their 4-1 defeat at lowly Colchester.
They looked like they would pick up a much-needed three points at Rochdale before Niall Canavan's 96th-minute goal made it 2-2.
"Somehow the referee found another 90 seconds to add on," Ferguson told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"It's just the way it is going at the moment for whatever reason. The big man isn't shining on us.
"The point is no consolation because it's a win that we needed and the mood in the dressing room is very low."

Reading's 1-0 win at Bolton meant the Royals are mathematically assured of their place in the Championship next season.
BBC Radio Berkshire reporter Tim Dellor asked boss Brian McDermott about the poor form of striker Matej Vydra following the game, after the on-loan Watford man missed a penalty in the match.
The Czech is goalless in the Championship since 28 November but it's fair to say Dellor and McDermott see his contribution a little differently to one another.
Here's the transcript of their exchange on the subject:
Tim Dellor: "It's an interesting spin because any way you look at it Vydra has not scored for you in the Championship yet. If you look at the number of points that are won by Reading when he is on the pitch it is incredible the disparity between when he is on the pitch and off the pitch. I think quite a lot of people, including myself, are surprised you keep picking him each week."
Brian McDermott: "Well there you go. Life is full of surprises, Tim."
TD: "It is. Are you not concerned about his complete lack of form in front of goal? I mean his misses today were unbelievable."
BM: "I think you're being really quite harsh on him."
TD: "I have no doubt I'm being harsh on him but..."
BM: "No, I actually think he is working his socks off for the team and I am asking him to work his socks off. He has had opportunities and he has not scored today but there's no way in a million years I'm going to make comments about Matej Vydra that are detrimental to him. He's a great lad, he works his socks off, I see him every day in training so... I am never going to single anybody out like that because it's just wrong in my opinion."
TD: "For you because you are the coach..."
BM: "No, it's just totally wrong."
TD: "Not wrong from me though because I'm just trying..."
BM: "No Tim, you can ask whatever question you like and I have to answer it. You are entitled to ask whatever question you like but I have got so much respect for Matej Vydra."

The right-leaning Policy Exchange has published a poll of teachers on the eve of regional strikes over pay, conditions and pensions.
Members of the NUT and NASUWT unions will strike on Tuesday in the Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire and Humber.
Teaching unions said the survey detail did not support Policy Exchange's view.
Performance-related pay (PRP) came into force for teachers in England's schools this term, giving heads more flexibility over salaries.
Unions say the changes are really about cutting most teachers' salaries and most parents want schools to follow a national pay system.
But Jonathan Simons, head of education at Policy Exchange, claims the poll suggests "that teachers could easily be won round to the idea of performance-related pay but more needs to be done to explain how the system would work".
Pollsters YouGov questioned a weighted sample of more than 1,000 teachers in England and Wales.
The main question on performance-related pay received a broadly negative response from teachers, with only 16% saying they would like to work in a school where pay was "more explicitly linked" to their overall performance, 40% saying they would not and 44% that it would make no difference.
However, Policy Exchange claims that answers to other questions may indicate the possibility of a change of heart if teachers could be convinced that performance-related pay would lead to less paperwork.
Some 55% said they would be more likely to want to work in a school with performance-related pay "if it also resulted in a reduction in your administrative, reporting and bureaucratic workload".
Some 12% said they were less likely to want to work in such a school, while 33% said it would make no difference.
Teachers said they spent an average of more than 48 minutes a week on reporting their own performance, with over half (54%) saying it was the least valuable use of their time.
Some (79%) complained of too much bureaucracy, target-setting and inspection.
Christine Blower, of the NUT, said the survey showed that "a clear majority of teachers are far more concerned about workload than any apparent benefits of performance-related pay.
"According to this survey, only 2% said that it would make them significantly more likely to want to work in a school where pay was more explicitly linked to overall performance.
"Far more said it would make them less likely. Even under the proposal of PRP being offered in return for an imagined reduction in bureaucratic workload, only 13% said that it would make them significantly more interested in working in a school with PRP.
"Yet in many schools the introduction of PRP will lead to a much greater bureaucratic workload as head teachers introduce new forms and evidence gathering.
"Teachers work in a collaborative fashion. Young people's success depends on the interplay between the work of all their teachers.
"There is also every scope in linking pay to performance for the creation of unfairness."
Policy Exchange said the poll also suggested that most teachers (60%) were against pay being driven by years of experience in the profession, preferring measures such as students' progress (66%) and teaching quality (89%).
A third of those polled said they were dissatisfied at having to work with lower-performing colleagues, while more than half (52%) said performance pay would make it easier to dismiss poor teachers.
Mr Simons said: "Policymakers should make huge efforts to talk to teachers up and down the country, even if that means bypassing their union leaders, and answer any questions they might have about the new system."
She becomes the sixth Labour MP to declare that they want to succeed Harriet Harman in post.
Ms Ali told 5 live's Pienaar's Politics: "We should be radical and imaginative. What have we got to lose?"
"I'm going to start with going after UKIP voters who left Labour. We have to talk to people who rejected us."
Asked how that would work with voters who have problems with multi-culturalism, she said: "I grew up in a working-class community. Some of my neighbours were not very friendly.
"I'm used to rejection so I think I have something to offer... I know what it feels like to be an outsider trying to get in... I think a lot of our voters feel like that - that they just couldn't get through to us."
Asked who she would back for leader, Ms Ali says: "I'm going to meet every single one of them. I will reserve my right to use my nomination powers to help someone struggling in the race get what they need to stand."
She says Keith Vaz and Tristram Hunt are two MPs who have said they would back her bid.
The other declared candidates for deputy leader are Stella Creasy, Tom Watson, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle and Caroline Flint.
The candidates for Labour leader are Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Mary Creagh and Liz Kendall.
Earlier on Sunday former deputy Labour leader Lord Prescott told the Sunday Mirror he would be backing Andy Burnham for leader.
And Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr Show that the leadership contests must not just be about who the best leader was, but what direction the party should take.
She said it would be "quite wrong" for Labour to "minimise the scale of our defeat", especially given that it came despite a "lack of love for the Tories".
Ms Harman also said she thought that either the leader or deputy leader positions must be filled by a woman, saying she had never been a fan of all-male leadership teams.
She also said that hundreds of thousands of people who voted Labour "but would never join the party" would be able to vote in the leader and deputy leader elections - something welcomed on the same programme by former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton.
Mr Hilton, who added that he had been a long-time fan of Ms Harman's work on gender equality, said it was important to get more people involved in politics.
Spokesman Sameh Ashour said the decision was taken because of concerns the polls would not be free and fair, AFP news agency reported.
It comes days after President Mohammed Morsi announced the timing of the elections, to be held over four dates.
Judges dissolved the previous assembly, saying polls were unconstitutional.
The first round of voting in Cairo and four other provinces is due to be held on 22 April.
In the last elections, in January 2012, Islamist parties won an overwhelming majority, with the Freedom and Justice Party of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement taking the biggest share.
The lower house was dissolved in June after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that one of the laws under which the elections were fought was not legitimate.
By Yolande KnellBBC News
The National Salvation Front (NSF) is a coalition of mainly liberals and leftist parties. Its decision not to join the parliamentary election means the contest will be largely fought between Islamist groups - the Muslim Brotherhood of President Mohammed Morsi and more conservative parties like the Salafist Nur.
The Front's intention is to try to delegitimise the vote. It also draws attention to the polarisation of Egyptian politics since the ouster of President Mubarak two years ago.
This announcement does not come as a great surprise. Two days ago Mohamed ElBaradei, coordinator of the NSF, told the BBC that his party would "not participate in a sham poll".
The umbrella group has been demanding changes to the elections law as well as the formation of a national unity government and amendments to the new constitution.
Egypt is sharply divided between Islamists and their liberal and secular opponents and a boycott of the polls threatens to deepen the split, say correspondents.
Mr Morsi announced new polls last weekend. NSF leader Mohamed ElBaradei swiftly called for a boycott, branding fresh elections an "act of deception".
Mr Ashour said the NSF would not contest the polls under an election law which critics said favours Islamists.
"There can be no elections without a law that guarantees the fairness of the election process and a government that can implement such a law and be trusted by the people," he said in a televised news conference.
He said the NSF had unanimously decided to endorse Mr ElBaradei's call.
Mr Ashour said the alliance would also stay away from a meeting to promote national dialogue called by President Morsi, describing it as an insult to protesters killed in recent clashes.
More than 70 people were killed in violence between security forces and protesters following the second anniversary of the revolution which forced Hosni Mubarak from power.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed building on Sauchiehall Street needs renovation work.
The trust plans to restore both the building and the tearoom to their former glory.
This is the first time for decades that the building has been in Scottish ownership.
The new trust has been established by commercial property entrepreneur Celia Sinclair, who is also a Trustee of Glasgow Art Club and an admirer of Mackintosh's work.
The plan is that the trust will generate the funds needed to safeguard the building for the future. The building will be gifted to the city of Glasgow.
The building and interiors were designed and built in 1903 for Kate Cranston, who ran several tearooms in the city.
They have been under threat as erosion to the roof and structure of the building means that it requires significant renovation work.
Conservation reports on the building state that to properly repair and make the building fully wind and watertight will require a minimum investment of over £400,000.
Celia Sinclair said: "The Willow Tea Rooms is an iconic building and I couldn't simply stand by and watch it deteriorate. I'm a proud Glaswegian and I want to see its heritage preserved for the generations to come.
"I started this project over a year ago. The recent tragic fire at the Glasgow School of Art has underlined to me, and others, that we really do need to act to safeguard what remains of Mackintosh's work."
She added: "Above all, we intend that this project will be sustainable and have a legacy. The Trust will ensure that after the renovation work the building will be financially secure and that due care and attention will be given to the building forever." | The world-famous Willow Tearoom in Glasgow has had its future secured after a new charitable trust took over the building. | 28,136,146 | 367 | 28 | false |
Jess Greaney was hospitalised by the infection and said her swollen eye looked like a "huge red golf ball".
Miss Greaney, 18, of Birmingham, believes she caught the infection from water at her University of Nottingham halls of residence.
Many water sources contain the microscopic organism she was affected by, but infections are rare.
Miss Greaney told BBC 5 live's Afternoon Edition she first sought medical attention when her eye started to close sporadically.
"It was originally diagnosed as an ulcer," she said.
A week later she was diagnosed with an infection called acanthamoeba keratitis,
"It was eating through the cornea of my eye, which obviously affects your sight," she said.
"How they managed to start the treatment was intensive eye-drops every hour for four days and then it slowly decreased."
She said she was "really, really careful with my lenses", but believes water splashed on them when they were next to her sink, in a glass of solution.
Specialists at Moorfields Eye Hospital have noticed a rise in eye infections among contact lens wearers and are warning users to take extra care.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gary Doherty was named as the new chief executive of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board on Monday.
The board was put in special measures by the Welsh government in June following a critical report on a mental health ward in Denbighshire.
Mr Doherty has run the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust since 2013.
Speaking on Tuesday, the new health chief said he wanted to see a three to five year recovery plan put in place, and the board taken out of special measures.
Mr Doherty said it can be devastating when "trust isn't well placed and people are let down".
"It's really, really important we get that trust back and I think we can do that," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
"But equally, I'm under no illusions. It's a big, tough job."
Betsi Cadwaladr has been under the highest level of Welsh government intervention for six months since the investigation into "institutional abuse" at the Tawel Fan mental health ward at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan.
It led to the former chief executive Prof Trevor Purt standing aside, and an interim chief executive was appointed by the Welsh health minister.
The Welsh government has already said it expects the health board to remain in special measures for up to two years.
Mr Doherty said he was acutely aware of the political significance of his role and that of the health board.
"It's a really important political issue - and it should be," he said.
"I fully understand how much this means to people, how hot it is politically.
"If we do a good job and I do a good job and we work together with people, then these political concerns and these very personal concerns and individual concerns that people have, we can respond to them and it can be a successful dialogue."

It still is not clear what happened, but there are clues from automatic computer messages sent by the plane before it disappeared.
BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott explains.
The Metro currently links Birmingham with Wolverhampton.
A 1.2km (0.7 mile) scheme, due to be completed in 2015, will see the line extended from Snow Hill railway station to New Street station.
The route, along Bull Street, Corporation Street and Stephenson Street, will see trams in the city centre for the first time since 1953.
The extension is being part-funded by £75.4m from the Department for Transport, which gave its backing in February 2012.
Work began in July although the first rails have just been laid.
Centro, the West Midlands transport authority, said the Metro extension would "revolutionise the way people travel to and around the city" and carry up to 3.5 million passengers a year.
But Baljit Kandola, co-owner of Bull Street-based newsagents Central News Midland, said his trade had fallen by 60% since the start of work and said he has had to sack three employees because of that.
"When the buses stopped that was bad enough but ever since the tram extension began, it has become a lot worse," he said.
"Hopefully we will benefit when the Metro is up and running but that's two years down the line. I'm not sure we'll still be here."
Meanwhile, Aggie Pelekanou, owner of Monty's Deli Sandwich Bar, also in Bull Street, said his breakfast trade had halved since the start of the tram scheme.
"It started when they moved the buses in August last year," he said.
"People used to get off the bus, grab a coffee. Now there is no passing trade at all. The workers have been good. They have arranged their shifts so they're not using the loud machinery when we're doing our lunch service but I can't lie. It has been hard."
The tram extension is expected to create more than 1,300 new jobs and boost the West Midlands economy by more than £50m a year. Four tram stops will be included as part of the scheme: at Snow Hill, Bull Street, Corporation Street and Stephenson Street.
Roger Horton, Centro's lead member for rail, who laid the first rail track at Colmore Gate in Bull Street, said traders had been compensated for their losses.
"Once there are trams coming past their shops, the traders will benefit," Mr Horton, who is also a Sandwell councillor, said.
Birmingham councillor Kath Hartley, the vice-chairman of the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority said she also thought it would be "absolutely worth it".
"It may not be that far a distance in this first phase but this is only the first step," she said.
"Eventually this will go out to all the main centres. Quinton, towards the Black Country and the airport via Bordesley. It is what the people want."
But some people passing Corporation Street said they were unaware of what work was going on there.
"It's roadworks I think," said telecom salesman Bradley Davis, a 19-year-old sales assistant, from Metchley Lane in Harborne.
"It's been like this for about a year. I think they are making the road bigger." | A student almost lost her sight when an infection she caught from using contact lenses started eating into her eye.

Sean Emmett, 45, of Addlestone, Surrey, was detained when he landed at the airport in December 2013.
Abbie Emmett, 27, fell from a window at Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in the Gulf state on 19 February the same year.
Surrey Police said his bail had been cancelled and no further action would be taken against him.
Mr Emmett expressed anger at his treatment by Surrey Police in a series of tweets in 2014, saying the force should be "ashamed".
Det Insp Antony Archibald said the investigation into the death of Mrs Emmett, nee Elson, had been "challenging and complex" but would remain "live".
"This process has taken a considerable period of time but it is vital that we explore all lines of inquiry as part of our efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident."
He added: "We have liaised with the Elson family throughout our investigation and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time."
Mr Emmett found himself at the centre of a murder probe after his wife fell to her death during a 48-hour stopover in Dubai following their wedding and honeymoon in Cape Town, South Africa.
Her death was recorded as suicide and Dubai Police initially said they did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances.
But Mr Emmett, who won 19 British Superbike events during his career, was arrested when he went to a police station to complete paperwork relating to his wife's death.

Williams, 33, won 2012 European gold, silver in 2010 when he also claimed Commonwealth Games bronze.
The London 2012 Olympian had hoped to compete in the Commonwealths on the Gold Coast in April 2018.
Williams was ruled out of Glasgow 2014 after failing a doping test and given a four-month ban for inadvertently taking a banned supplement.
Williams won Commonwealth bronze in Delhi in 2010 behind Welsh rival Dai Greene but injury put paid to his bid to win another medal in Australia next year.
"As a patriotic Welshman, nothing has given me more pride than putting on a Welsh vest and competing for my country," said Williams.
"Unfortunately, injury has prematurely ended my hopes of competing one last time at the Commonwealth Games next year.
"I would like to thank Welsh Athletics and Sport Wales for all their help and support during my athletics career.
"I would also like to thank all my support team who have supported me faithfully over the years; my family, coaches, sponsors and all my training partners."
Williams, son of Welsh and Lions rugby legend JJ, was European champion from every level from Under-18 to senior level where he also won silver and bronze in 2006 and 2010 to go with his 2012 triumph.
He competed for Wales at two Commonwealth Games, finishing fourth in Melbourne in 2006 with his bronze in Delhi coming four years later.
Williams competed for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics where he reached the semi-final, the same level he also achieved at the 2005 and 2013 World Championships.
Welsh Athletics head of coaching and performance Scott Simpson said: "Rhys' decision to retire from the sport is one that has clearly been given a great deal of thought and one that we have met with the utmost respect and support.
"It is never an easy decision to make. He achieved so much on the international stage.

Loganair ran services from Ashaig Airfield, near Broadford, to Glasgow until 1988. Loch Lomond Seaplanes uses the strip for scheduled flights.
The economic study was recommended in 2013 by consultants who examined the costs of re-establishing a service.
The Scottish government said at the time that it had no plans to fund the return of flights to and from Skye.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has commissioned the new research.
Stuart MacPherson of HIE, said: "Strong reliable transport links are of course crucial to a successful and competitive region.
"Air services from and to small rural airports can play a key role in the communities they serve, creating a sense of connectedness, providing life-line services and supporting economic growth.
"Skye is served by the road bridge and by ferry services but it is over two hours from the nearest airport and at least a five hour drive to the central belt.
"We need to be clear about the full extent of the benefits of reintroducing a regular air service for the island and surrounding area as this will help inform the business case to re-establish the service."
The previous research, Skye Air Services Feasibility Study, looked at what would be needed before scheduled services could resume.
It suggested that resuming commercial flights could require capital spending of between £9.7m and £15.3m.
However, investment of only about £2.3m to £2.8m would be needed if the length and width of the small runway met with the Civil Aviation Authority's (CAA) approval.
Agreements would also have to be reached with the Department for Transport on security fencing,with airline operators on hangars and the fire service on what facilities it would require to keep costs down.
Capital expenditure would rise if the airstrip had to meet certain standards on runways, such as length, width and requirements on runway end safety areas.
The study was funded by HIE, Highland Council, which owns the site, and transport body Hitrans.
Ian Blackford, who was a spokesman for campaign group FlySkye and is now the local MP, told BBC Radio Scotland that he believed an agreement could be reached with the CAA to make the project affordable.
The strip was built in the 1970s by Army engineers, and appears briefly in a scene from the 1980 film Flash Gordon, which starred Sam J Jones, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton and Brian Blessed.
The air strip remains available to the emergency services and scheduled commercial flights.
Loch Lomond Seaplanes, flies up 200 flights per month between March and October, and carries about 10,000 passengers a year. It regularly operates scheduled flights from central Scotland to Skye.

The Scotland captain does not believe, however, the double-header will make or break Scotland's qualification bid for the 2018 World Cup.
"We look forward to the games and we try to get two positive results, which would be two wins," Fletcher said.
"We see where we are when we come out of them and we go again."
West Brom midfielder Fletcher, who is set to win his 75th cap against Lithuania on Saturday, says failure to win either match would not be a fatal blow to Scotland's qualification hopes.
"There is still a long way to go in the campaign," he said. "It is no different, no matter what game we play.
"We strive to win, we are determined to win, we are focused to win, we are prepared to win. That's the mindset that goes into it."
Fletcher says that, even if Scotland fall short of two wins, they would not "just write off the rest of the campaign" because "there are still plenty of games to go".

"We know it is going to be a tough game," he said of Saturday's game. "We have played Lithuania in the past and it has always been a difficult game, very physical.
"Now I think they are trying to have a real go in games and attack and look to be very expansive on the counter-attack."
Head coach Gordon Strachan is reluctant to set a points target for his side as they approach the two matches in four days.
"I've never made any targets in my life for anything I do," Strachan said. "I just get on and do it and just live in the present.
"Some managers do that, but if you don't achieve what you're after then you can disappoint yourself and disappoint everybody so you just get on and see where we go.
"Great first game, scoring five goals away. We got a bit of luck at the right time, but we were prepared for that.
"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. That's what we did, we prepared for that.
"So we take it on from there. We feel good about ourselves, but we know the task."
The Manxman will wear the race leader's yellow jersey for the first time if he wins stage one and a victory would help his quest to win a second green jersey.
"To wear yellow for a day would be massive for my career," he said.
But he added: "The green jersey is what I chase in the Tour de France every year. It's what my career goes around."
Cavendish will get the opportunity to claim the yellow jersey because the first stage is a sprint finish for the first time in almost 50 years.
The 28-year-old goes into the race in good form after being crowned Britain's national road race champion for the first time.
The Omega Pharma-QuickStep rider will initially race in the white British champion's jersey with red and blue bands.
"To wear the jersey for a year, to represent my country as the champion, that's a massive honour," he said
"Hopefully I'll do it proud and show that Great Britain is a dominant force in cycling."
Cavendish won the Giro d'Italia's red jersey in May to join an elite group of five riders to have won the points classification on each of the three Grand Tours (the third being the Vuelta a Espana).
However, only Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, in 1994, has won most points in both the Tour and Giro in the same year and Cavendish is aware of the threat posed by Peter Sagan, who in 2012 won the points jersey that Cavendish claimed in 2011.
The Briton has the speed to beat Sagan in a straight sprint, but the Slovakian is a better climber and could target intermediate sprint points and wins on hillier stages.
"He's an incredible bike rider, incredible," said Cavendish.
"I've just got to go and not look at other people, just do my own thing. I can't try to stay with him on a climb, so what's the point in thinking about him?
"I've just got to try to win stages and hopefully the green jersey comes from that."
Cavendish has won 23 Tour de France stages, the most of any active rider and fourth on the all-time list behind Eddy Merckx, who has 34, Bernard Hinault's tally of 28 and Andre Leducq's 25.
He abandoned his debut Tour on stage eight in 2007 but won four the following year, six in 2009, five in 2010 and 2011, and three in 2012, however he is not focusing on overhauling the trio of riders above him in the record books.
"It's irrelevant," he continued. "Setting targets with great names isn't really the thing to do. One: it's disappointing if you don't do it, and two: it sets a limit to what you can do.
"I will go to win as much as possible, regardless of what number I'm on now and what number I'll be on in the future."
One record Cavendish does have his eye on is that of most final-stage wins, after equalling Merckx's record of four when he won on the Champs Elysees in Paris in 2012.
"I know the finish well and, yes, I'm going for the fifth one," he said. "We'll see what happens."
Britain's Chris Froome is favourite to win the overall title in the three-week race.
If passed, it will mean from 2016 every packet will look the same except for the make and brand name, with graphic photos accompanying health warnings.
The Irish Republic passed a similar law earlier this month and Australia has had plain packaging in place since 2012.
Westminster's move follows a series of public consultations on the issue.
The government announced in 2011 it would be considering the issue and ran a consultation in 2012.
But then it appeared the government had gone cool on the plan, prompting accusations it had been influenced by the tobacco industry, before another review of the public health benefits was ordered.
That review was carried out by by paediatrician Sir Cyril Chantler and concluded last year it was very likely the change would lead to a modest but important reduction in the uptake and prevalence of smoking.
More than 600 children aged 11 to 15 start to smoke every day - more than 200,000 a year. The review said if that number could be cut even by 2%, 4,000 fewer would take up the habit.
Research has shown standardised packaging makes the packets less appealing and helps reinforce health messages.
Meanwhile, darker colours - olive green is proposed - are favoured ahead of white, as this is perceived to signify more harm.
Health campaigners have long been pushing for the move, saying it will help save lives.
Alison Cox, of Cancer Research UK, said there was a "growing weight of evidence" that it would have an impact.
But the Tobacco Manufacturer's Association has argued there is a "complete lack of evidence that the policy will work".
While most MPs are expected to back the move, there have been concerns raised about how the process is being handled.
Powers for standardising packaging were in the Children and Families Act 2014, but the Commons must approve bringing them into force.
The regulations were discussed and agreed by a committee earlier this week and will now be subject to a free vote.
But as it is not primary legislation, there will be no further debate.
Conservative MP Nick De Bois said: "I certainly would never have expected to see this measure before this House this late in the parliament, announced in an adjournment debate without the benefit of a full debate."
The hoard of some 70,000 coins and jewellery pieces was found by two metal detector enthusiasts in 2012.
Jersey Heritage conservator, Neil Mahrer, is working on separating the coins in full view of the public at the Jersey Museum.
He said so far experts had not been able to work out its origins due to an unusual "geometric pattern".
Mr Mahrer said: "Our Celtic coin expert Philip De Jersey has been our go-to man for instant identification of anything strange and he usually mails us straight back with our answer but this coin has stumped him.
"He reckons its Armorican but the geometric pattern is apparently unknown, which is always exciting."
This is not the only discovery made as part of the restoration work.
Mr Mahrer said on the first day of work on the hoard they found a "beautiful blue glass bead" next to a piece of silver wire.
Dr Sonia O'Connor from Bradford University said the size of the hole was too big to be a necklace piece and was likely part of a larger object.
Mr Mahrer and his team are working in a glass fronted room as part of the Treasure: Uncovering Celts and Romans exhibition at the Jersey Museum.
It is designed to allow visitors to watch as the team remove gold and silver objects as well as coins from the hoard, thought to be worth about £10m.
He was going to be in London the following week and perhaps we could meet up for coffee.
"Of course," I said. So we met outside Covent Garden tube station and headed for a small cafe nearby.
He had not changed much since I had last seen him - a little greyer, perhaps, but then so was I.
"I have something to tell you," he declared in hushed tones, as I stirred some sugar into my coffee.
"Eta is seriously considering calling a halt to its armed struggle for a Basque state. If you are interested, you can break the news to the world."
I was drinking my coffee by then and almost choked.
"Do you think you might be interested?"
It was an enormous scoop being handed to me on a plate.
"Are you kidding?" I said.
"No, this isn't a joke."
Basque nationalists, he told me, were now frustrated.
The chances of an independent Basque state being created were as remote now as they had ever been in the last 50 years.
The people of Catalonia had just managed to win more autonomy from Madrid, and separatists there had no army of bombers and gunmen.
Could it be, he said, that actually Eta had been hindering the cause of Basque nationalism, rather than helping it?
After all, the politicians in Madrid had a ready-made excuse for not allowing a referendum on independence.
That excuse was Eta violence. So what if that excuse was taken away?
He was convinced his phone was being tapped, so I had to be careful when I wanted to contact him.
"We cannot talk to each other in the meantime," he told me. "But if Eta does decide on a ceasefire, it will record a prepared statement on videotape as it's done in the past.
"Obviously I can't confirm this to you over the phone, but if you receive a text message saying, 'It was good to see you in London,' then that is your cue to meet me in a few days' time in Paris outside the Gare du Nord at 2pm and I'll have the tape."
We finished our coffees and said goodbye.
I genuinely did not believe I would have to go to Paris, and pretty much forgot that afternoon meeting.
A few days later, I was visiting my mother in the Midlands and around lunchtime I received a text message.
It read: "It was good to see you in London." But it just didn't register in my brain.
I did not recognise the number. The message was cryptic; it didn't make sense.
It was only two hours later that the penny dropped: "Oh my God, I have to get to Paris!"
I arrived slightly early at Gare du Nord.
I was nervous. Like a scene from a cheap spy novel, I kept looking around to see if anyone was watching me.
The minutes ticked by: 1400, 14.05, 14.10, 14.15p. He is late.
The worst thoughts then popped into my head. Maybe he has been caught with the tape and is in a police cell somewhere.
Maybe he has changed his mind about our rendezvous. Maybe he was winding me up all along. Maybe he is at another entrance to the station!
I walked round the corner and looked down the street. No sign of him.
I thought to myself: "I've come on a wild-goose chase."
I returned back to the main entrance, and there he was.
I got the tape, and as they say, the rest is history.
Lewis Dunne, 16, was found on a towpath near Burrows Court in Vauxhall, Liverpool, on Sunday evening and died later in hospital.
He died from a single shotgun wound to the back, a post-mortem examination found.
A 20-year-old from Everton is being held at a Merseyside police station for questioning.
Updates on this story and more from Merseyside and Cheshire
Police have ruled out there being "an arranged fight involving groups on quad bikes" in the area where the teenager was shot.
Locals claimed on Monday that a "gang fight had been arranged" in the area.
Det Ch Insp Tom Keaton said that was not the case, adding the motive for the shooting was still unknown.
He said there had been "speculation that there was an arranged fight on the night, involving groups on quad bikes, [but] we have no information to suggest that this is the case and we are still working to establish why Lewis was shot".
Det Ch Insp Keaton added that officers knew that the teenager "left home on Sunday night at about 22:15 to go to a local shop - what we now need to know is where was Lewis between 22:15 and 23:10?"
"Lewis's family are absolutely devastated"
"His friends, his peers and his family are totally bemused as to why this is happened.
"On the face of it he was a very vivacious young man who was very popular in the local community."
Items including mobile phones and jackets had been recovered from the canal, near to where the teenager was found, which were being forensically examined, Det Ch Insp Keaton said.
He added that officers were also looking at CCTV footage from the area.
Scientists sequenced the genes of thousands of children from across the UK and Ireland with rare, undiagnosed conditions.
The research, in the journal Nature, was co-ordinated by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge.
Matthew Hurles, who led the study, said it "ended the odyssey for parents who'd spent years trying to find the cause of their child's condition".
Tamika Kyd, aged 10, and Caitlyn Hunter, aged nine, have a fault on the CDK13 gene, which triggered their developmental disorder.
None of their siblings is affected by the condition, which causes learning difficulties and affects their language and communication skills.
So far only 11 children have been identified with the disorder in the UK.
The families live just 20 minutes' drive from each other, north of London.
The BBC was present when they met for the first time.
The families said they were astonished at how much the two girls resembled each other.
Katja Kyd, mother of Tamika, told me: "To look at a stranger's child and see so many similarities with your own daughter gives you goosebumps - to look at them they could be twins."
The Deciphering Developmental Disorders study aims to find the genetic causes of rare childhood conditions.
Researchers screened all 20,000 genes from more than 4,000 families with an affected child.
They identified 14 new developmental disorders, all caused by spontaneous new mutations not found in the DNA of either parent.
They calculated that, on average, one in 300 children is born with a rare developmental disorder caused by a new mutation.
This adds up to 2,000 children a year in the UK and 400,000 globally.
Although Tamika and Caitlyn have the same disorder, they have some marked differences in their symptoms.
Tamika has a heart defect but Caitlyn does not.
Both have learning difficulties but Tamika's language and communication skills are more advanced than those of Caitlyn.
Vikki Thompson, Caitlyn's mother, told me: "Seeing Tamika talking so much gives me hope that Caitlyn's speech will form."
Both families were told last year that the mutation on the CDK13 gene was spontaneous and not passed on by either parent.
Tamika's mother Katja said this gave her sufficient reassurance to go ahead and try for another child.
Her newborn son Timo and her other daughter Aimee, aged nine, are unaffected.
Both women said it was hugely beneficial to be part of the research project and to be given a definitive diagnosis for their daughter's condition.
Katya said it was like "belonging to a club or a newfound family", while Vicki added: "It felt like we were on our own for the past nine years and now all that has changed."
Dr Hurles, head of human genetics at the Sanger Institute, said: "Finding a diagnosis can be a huge relief for parents and enables them to link up with other families with the same disorder."
Prof David Fitzpatrick, a supervising author from the MRC Human Genetics Unit, University of Edinburgh, said the research could "give clues for further research into future therapeutics".

Touchscreens on smartphones that have this problem gradually become unresponsive.
The fault was highlighted by gadget sites which said it was caused by a manufacturing issue that meant some screen controller chips became loose.
Apple was criticised by one expert who said it was the phonemaker's responsibility to fix it.
Apple is charging $149 in the USA for the service that will only be available on phones that are "in working order".
In a statement on its website, Apple said it had "determined" that displays on some iPhone 6 Plus handsets flickered or became unresponsive if the device was dropped several times on a hard surface and was then subjected to "further stress".
An iPhone 6 Plus suffering this problem, which worked and did not have a cracked or broken screen, was eligible for the repair programme, it said.
The service is available worldwide and costs £146.44 in the UK.
Apple said that customers who had already paid to get their phone cured of "touch disease" should get in touch to be repaid for the amount they spent beyond the programme fee.
The repair programme will run for five years beyond the initial date on which the iPhone 6 Plus went on sale, said Apple.
Stuart Miles, founder of gadget news site Pocket-lint, said: "I think if it's a known defect that isn't caused by the user then it should be the responsibility of Apple to fix the phone free of charge regardless of the age."
The manufacturing problem with the iPhone 6 Plus was first highlighted by gadget site iFixit which said it had seen an "influx of faulty iPhones".
In a blogpost about the problem posted in August, iFixit said there were "pages and pages" of messages from aggrieved iPhone 6 Plus owners on the Apple support site complaining about the fault.
An investigation by iFixit and specialist repair shops found the cause of the fault was the placement of the touchscreen controller chip. Several rough knocks could dislodge this chip making phones unresponsive, it said.
Jones, 22, beat Swede Nikita Glasnovic in the third-place fight-off in Mexico.
The London 2012 gold medallist had already secured a -57kg place for Britain at Rio 2016.
Walkden lost in the quarter-finals, but earned enough points to guarantee Britain an Olympic +67kg berth.
The season-ending event in Mexico City was the last opportunity for fighters to secure the top-six world ranking that would secure their nation a Rio place - something Briton Lutalo Muhammad achieved with -80kg victory on Saturday.
Earlier this year, many in the sport thought Walkden would struggle to qualify having suffered a serious knee-ligament injury in 2014.
However, the European champion won the World Championship in May and climbed to world number two after Grand Prix success.
"Even though I lost today I still had a wonderful year," Walkden wrote on her Facebook page.
The 24-year-old, who lost to China's Shuyin Zheng on golden point, added: "On to the next year! Bring it on!"
Team GB are guaranteed places for three athletes at Rio 2016, one in each of the -57kg (female), +67kg (female) and -80kg (male) divisions.
GB Taekwondo will be able to send one additional fighter, to claim a maximum fourth berth, to the European Olympic qualification event in Istanbul in January.
Ivory Coast-born heavyweight Mahama Cho is the favourite to be given that opportunity, with the decision set to be revealed before Christmas.
Only once selectors know how many places fighters have attained will they consider nominating athletes for the Olympic squad.
While Jones and Walkden are the overwhelming favourites for their divisions, the -80kg place could go to either London 2012 bronze medallist Muhammad or world silver medallist Damon Sansum.
The Wildlife Information Centre (TWIC), working with other organisations such as British Arachnological Society, has launched the Scottish Spider Search.
Records of four species in particular have been sought - the four-spotted orbweb, daddy long-legs, zebra and nurseryweb.
These spiders include the UK's heaviest and one that creeps up on its prey before pouncing.
TWIC's centre manager Graeme Wilson said it was hoped the survey would gather new information on many of the hundreds of spider species found in Scotland with the help from the wider public.
He said: "Spiders may not be everyone's favourite creatures but they play a very important role in the natural world by controlling other species.
"Because there are so many different types of spiders, each with their own particular ecological requirements, surveying them is a good way to assess the health of habitats.
"This is why The Wildlife Information Centre, with the help of other conservation organisations like the British Arachnological Society, has launched the Scottish Spider Search to help increase the number of spider records in Scotland as they are very under-recorded at present."
He added: "We also hope that some people will really catch the spider bug by learning more about these interesting creatures and start recording some of the other over 400 spider species found in Scotland."
Scotland has many close connections to the eight-legged beasties.
Robert the Bruce, Scotland's warrior king, was inspired to continue campaigning when he feared all was lost, after observing a spider's determination to spin a web.
Glasgow football club, Queen's Park FC, are nicknamed The Spiders. Among the club's rivals are Alloa Athletic, also known as The Wasps.
Scots comic book writer Mark Millar, whose most famous works include comic-to-movie-adaption tales Kick-Ass, Kingsmen: The Secret Service and Wanted, has written stories for Marvel's Spider-Man.
And Dundreggan, a large are of woodland that includes areas of ancient Caledonian Forest, is thought to hold Scotland's largest population of the colourful strawberry spider.
The four-spotted orbweb is the UK's heaviest spider.
There are relatively few records of this species from Scotland, but TWIC said conservationists had suggested that the spider was spreading northwards and was likely to be more widespread in Scotland than previously thought.
Zebra spiders do not build webs and instead stalk their prey before pouncing on them.
These stripy creatures have a large front pair of eyes that provide "excellent binocular vision" to track moving prey. Their other six eyes can detect movement from the sides and rear.
Daddy long-legs spiders can be found in houses all year round.
Described as being unfussy eaters they will make a meal of almost anything that gets tangled in their webs, including larger house spiders.
Nurserywebs are a large UK species of spider.
The females build tent-like "nurseries" of dense silk for their eggs and guard these shelters once the spiderlings have hatched.
The figures for the year to 31 October 2016, include the Sussex Cricket Foundation charitable subsidiary.
An operating loss of £139,000 was recorded for the same period in 2015.
Sussex chairman Jim May said balancing the finances remained a "constant challenge but these were satisfactory figures for the new organisation".
A combined turnover figure of £6.5m showed a decline in match income, but the club said there had been a strong performance in commercial income.
Since the County Ground in Hove was redeveloped in 2011, net revenues for catering, events and rental income had increased by around £500,000 a year.
However, after making full allowance for depreciation, Sussex said it recorded a deficit after tax of £488,000.
The club's report added that the balance sheet was strong with total equity of £10.3m and no external debt.
"I believe that Sussex is in good shape for the current season," added May.
"We have made quality signings in the close season to complement our squad and we have an exciting group of youngsters coming through."
The club finished last season in fourth place in Championship Division Two and failed to progress beyond the group stage in the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup.
He is credited with helping to define the "Bakersfield sound", country music with a distinctive twang and lack of sophisticated production.
Haggard wrote songs, sang and played fiddle and guitar, usually singing about American pride and outlaws.
He was a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame with dozens of albums and top hits.
The singer, who battled lung cancer in 2008, had recently cancelled April tour dates due to illness and said he hoped to be back on the road in May.
Rolling Stone magazine has described him as "the backbone of one of the greatest repertoires an all of American music, plain-spoken songs populated by the kinds of working people Haggard grew up with: farmers, hobos, convicts, widows, musicians and drunks".
Obituary: Merle Haggard
His top hits include Mama Tried, The Fugitive, If We Make It Through December and Okie from Muskogee.
He was born in California in 1937, living in a converted boxcar with his family and quitting school at a young age to hop freight trains across the south western part of the US.
He spent three years in prison for breaking into a cafe while drunk, Rolling Stone notes. Then-governor of California, Ronald Reagan, expunged his criminal record in 1972.
Haggard's former publicist Jim Della Croce told the BBC that the singer was as influential as the Beatles in country music.
"He was the bottom line in country music and the gold standard to which every country artist measured himself," he said. "He was a nice guy with a great sense of humour. He was a very literate man."
Musicians gave their tributes to Haggard on Twitter shortly following the news of his death.
Country musician Luke Bryan tweeted that "a true hero was lost".
"Literally just fell to the floor. Can't believe we lost the hag. RIP Merle Haggard," tweeted country musician Dierks Bentley.
The Welsh government currently provides some nursery children with tooth brushes and fluoride varnishes.
But in his annual report, Dr Tony Jewell said "alternative methods" were needed so teeth could benefit from fluoride.
On average, four children in a class of 30 five-year-olds will have experienced dental pain in the last 12 months.
The chief medical officer Dr Jewell said it was a sign of deprivation and a measure of inequality.
He added that the figure rose to six children in a class of 30 in Blaenau Gwent
The Welsh government's "Designed to Smile Programme" provides more than 60,000 children with a toothbrush in school as well as fluoride varnish to three to five-year-old children.
Dr Jewell said: "In Wales we need to get more teeth in contact with fluoride via alternative methods.
"More than 5,130 general anaesthetics were given to children to remove teeth last year in unfluoridated south east Wales.
"This should be compared to fluoridated Birmingham (a similar size population) where just over 2,700 children received the same treatment."
Some areas of England already use fluoride in the water system.
But critics argue the long-term health risks of fluoridation are unknown. However, advocates, including much of the medical profession, say it is a safe, proven way of improving dental health.
The Designed to Smile scheme helps disadvantaged communities.
It sees dental health support workers deliver supervised tooth-brushing programmes in schools, along with oral health advice.
Dr Jewell's report said children living in less affluent areas were more likely to experience decay and were likely to have more tooth decay.
Half of the five-year-old children across Wales have no decayed teeth, the other half have on average four teeth decayed, filled or extracted, the report explained.
Dr Jewell said: "However, it is more than simply teaching children how to brush their teeth.
"The scheme also delivers direct clinical interventions that have been shown to prevent decay. Wales lags behind the rest of the UK in terms of tooth decay in children and we will do all we can to improve the situation."
In his report, Dr Jewell also warned that increasingly unhealthy lifestyles might lead to a fall in life expectancy.
The problem was diseases caused by obesity, smoking, alcohol and fitness, with under one in three taking enough daily exercise.
Kellingley Colliery will close on 18 December, bringing to an end centuries of deep coal mining in Britain.
Labour MP Yvette Cooper said there was "no certainty" workers would receive the same deal as other miners.
But Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom confirmed UK Coal was able to pay.
Speaking at a debate in the House of Commons, Ms Cooper said: "What they've got at the end of decades of keeping our lights on, powering our factories, fuelling the nation, they've got the worst deal of any of the hundreds of thousands of miners who have left the industry over many decades."
She said she feared the last miners at Kellingley in North Yorkshire would not receive the same severance packages handed to miners at Thoresby colliery, which closed in July.
However, Ms Leadsom said UK Coal was in a position to pay thanks to a previous government cash injection.
She said: "I would like to emphasise to you that thanks to the excellent work of the miners and the £10m cash injection, UK Coal has enough cash to be able to pay the Kellingley miners being made redundant this month the same severance package as the miners at Thoresby received."
Long-term building targets were also required to avoid "kneejerk" policy moves, the Redfern Review said.
It found home ownership rates in England fell from 71% to 64% over 12 years, with the steepest drop among young people.
Labour, which commissioned the report, said it showed a "lost generation".
Among 25-34 year olds, the rate of home ownership fell from 59% in 2003 to 37% in 2015, according to the review led by Pete Redfern, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey.
Lower incomes for younger people since the financial crisis in 2008, as well as their more limited access to mortgage finance, were major contributing factors, he said.
To help them back on the housing ladder, Mr Redfern said schemes such as Help to Buy, which allows househunters to pay smaller deposits, should be targeted more exclusively at first-time buyers.
"We must focus on supporting today's younger generation and creating a genuine long-term housing strategy independent of short-term party politics if we are to improve the position in a sustainable way for future generations," he said.
Labour said the review revealed "a lost generation unable to get on the housing ladder", and that the "squeeze on young people" was at the heart of the decline in the number of home-owners.
Shadow housing secretary John Healey, who commissioned the report, said: "The shrinking opportunity for young people on ordinary incomes to own a home is at the centre of the growing gulf between housing haves and housing have-nots."
The Redfern Review also called for 10- and 20-year building targets, agreed by all political parties, to tackle the housing shortage.
And it said the creation of an independent housing commission would help to avoid "kneejerk reactions in our policy approach".
Government figures released on Tuesday showed house building in England was at its strongest level in eight years, with the number of new homes being built having increased 11% in a year.
The parliament's president is investigating whether Janusz Korwin-Mikke broke the body's rules with his remarks to fellow MEPs.
The rules ban defamatory, racist or xenophobic language or behaviour.
Socialist MEP Iratxe Garcia-Perez was seen criticising Mr Korwin-Mikke.
Parliament President Antonio Tajani was urged by the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group to sanction the Polish MEP for his "shameful" comments.
Penalties for such behaviour range from a reprimand to a fine and temporary suspension, the parliament press office told the BBC.
Rule 11 of the Rules of Procedure says MEPs' conduct "shall be characterised by mutual respect" and they "shall not resort to defamatory, racist or xenophobic language or behaviour in parliamentary debates".
Mr Korwin-Mikke - an independent MEP with his own political party - has been censured before by the parliament.
Last year he lost 10 days of attendance allowances (€3,060; £2,633) and was suspended for five days for comparing Europe's influx of migrants to "excrement".
In October 2015 he was suspended for 10 days for making a Nazi salute in the chamber. Italian MEP Gianluca Buonanno was punished for the same offence.
The hosts raced into a 3-0 lead at half-time as Oli Johnson rifled in before Adam Boyes struck twice.

Guiseley are up to 18th, five points clear of the relegation zone, while Gary Mills' Red Dragons are six points adrift of the top five.
New Zealander Coventry was speaking after South Africa flanker Schalk Burger agreed a move to Saracens.
He questioned if older foreign players would harm home-grown development.
"With every veteran entering the game, those sorts of players push somebody down the pecking order," Coventry told BBC Radio Berkshire.

Coventry also mentioned Northampton's South Africa legend Victor Matfield, 38, as another player in the same category.
"You only have a very limited period as a young player to get the experience you need and to play," he added. "It would be a concern for English rugby.
"I've no doubt those players would add value, but when you're trying to develop your own players from within your country, I don't know if it's going to be a helpful scenario going forward.
"Rugby is still a young man's game. I think we have to be careful we don't end up looking at greener pastures all the time and not take stock of what's on our own doorstep."
Consumer websites and switching services urge us to take the time to do things to save money, but we don't, because we haven't got time, we don't want to learn new passwords, we're daunted by the process, we're worried it will go wrong and, let's be honest, we just can't be bothered.
Here are 10 of those things we know we should do, but don't.
The Competition and Market Authority's report into current accounts said that 57% of consumers had had the same current account for more than 10 years, and 37% for more than 20 years.
It bemoans the fact that banks are not being made to work hard enough to keep customers, because of fears that the process will be "complicated, time-consuming and risky".
Even after the Current Account Switch Service was introduced, only 3% of customers switched in 2014.
Of course, it may be that customers are deliriously happy with their current provider, or it may be that they've got better things to do.
You know those terms and conditions you get when you download a software update, or register for a website or order something online?
Have you ever read them before you put a tick in the box confirming that you've read them? Of course you haven't - nobody has.
Take the UK terms and conditions for Apple's iTunes, for example. They're 20,000 words long.
That's about a quarter of a decent-length novel and probably considerably less interesting.
It will probably turn out that I'm signing away some key rights or signing up for something dreadful.
I can't tell you for sure, because I just can't be bothered to read them.
Actually, this one is a generational thing.
When the landline rings, it is my mother, my parents-in-law or a company urging me to switch providers (in a way that I can't be bothered to do) or claim payment protection insurance compensation in a way that I cannot do, because I did not take out any PPI.
This happens despite my having signed up for the Telephone Preference Service (although that does not apply to members of my family).
So in fact, I do answer the landline when caller ID tells me who it is. I just can't be bothered to answer when it doesn't give me a number.
With older generations, the opposite is true - my mother only seems to get PPI calls on her mobile and uses the landline all the time.
Now we all really should be doing this one. And not just gas and electricity, but also home insurance and car insurance and phone and broadband.
Providers make a fortune from bumping up your premiums when it's time to renew and hoping you won't notice and can't be bothered to switch.
Here's an idea - call your existing provider and ask if they can do any better. Vaguely suggest that you're considering switching, even though we all know you can't be bothered.
Then, often you'll get a better deal without having to switch.
This works particularly well with gas and electricity providers, which bring in new tariffs all the time, so the last one you bothered to check up on is almost certainly uncompetitive.
This is a story that crops up on consumer sites every now and then.
It turns out that if you're going on a long journey - and instead of booking a ticket that goes all the way, you buy one ticket that goes a bit of the way and another that goes the rest of the way - you can save some money.
Although presumably, in order to find the cheapest deal, you'd have to try it out with every station between home and your destination.
I'm not proud that I can't be bothered to do this. I salute anybody who can - well done you!
Getting things in the post is a bit like answering the landline - it's a generational thing.
Obviously I open anything with handwriting on the front - I'm not heartless.
But what about printed envelopes? I do still get some bills through the post, but most of them are also available online and if I really needed them, I could just print another.
There are crucial exceptions to this. Recently I had to prove my address to the council, which asked me to send them my council tax bill.
Now, it seems to me that there is something wrong with the council asking to see my council tax bill - it sent the bill to me and I've been paying it every month. Is that not proof enough?
But no, it turns out that even though I can get an online account that allows me to check when my next council tax payment is due, how much it will be and when the bins are going to be emptied, it won't let me print out the council tax bill.
So I had to spend an hour with my slightly questionable filing system trying to find the bill. So I could send it to the council.
Seriously, has anyone bothered to read this far?
You've got better things to do.
Go and switch bank accounts.
The deal will see 14 staff transfer with immediate effect, including founder Bill White, who becomes a consultant.
Campbell Dallas expects to gain about £1m in turnover from the move.
The firm said its new Kilmarnock office would give it a permanent base from which to develop the Ayrshire market.
Campbell Dallas already has 180 employees across four offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Perth and Stirling.
Managing partner Chris Horne said: "Ayrshire is an area the firm is keen to develop further and my fellow partner, Donald Boyd, has advised a good number of existing clients within the area for many years.
"There is a band of really high quality businesses in this market, and we think there is demand for our entrepreneurial approach to advising clients."
Meanwhile, East Lothian-based accountants N C Campbell & Co have announced a merger with Berwick-upon-Tweed firm Greaves West & Ayre.
The combined firm will consist of 11 partners and 104 staff and will operate from existing offices in Haddington and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The expanded firm will be called Greaves West & Ayre (incorporating N C Campbell & Co).
The companies said the move would allow the new entity to provide a "consistent base for expansion in each location for the foreseeable future".
N C Campbell & Co partner Ewan Millar said: "In Greaves West & Ayre we have found a like-minded organisation that shares the same traditional values of quality client care to businesses of all sizes across all sectors.
"We can more effectively safeguard the future of our employees in Haddington and the relationships with our clients in the long term.
"Being part of a larger organisation, we will have increased capacity to help our clients with any issues they may have."
The Latics opened the scoring through Chris McCann before Will Grigg added a second after Yanic Wildschut hit the post and Grigg scored the rebound.
Grigg then slotted home for his second and Michael Jacobs fired into the top right-hand corner for Wigan's fourth.
The Seasiders got a goal back when Wigan captain Craig Morgan turned the ball into his own net.
Wigan sit on 84 points at the top of League One, nine points clear of Walsall who have three games left and three points ahead of second-placed Burton who have two games remaining.
However, the Latics have a far superior goal difference compared to their rivals.
The black Labrador was found dead by animal welfare officers who called to a flat in the Greystone estate in Antrim.
The starved dog died entangled in a window blind, probably in a failed attempt to escape, the court heard.
Its owner, Aleshia McLaverty, pleaded guilty to permitting unnecessary pain or distress to a dog under her control.
The 23-year-old, who no longer lives at or has any connection to the flat at Firmount Drive, was given a two month jail term, suspended for two years.
The judge at Antrim Magistrates' Court also banned her from keeping animals for five years.
The case against her was taken by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, after its staff responded to a report of a dead animal at the property last April.
A prosecution lawyer described how the animal welfare officers were met with distressing sights and smells when they entered the flat.
He said the toilet bowl was dry, suggesting the dog had drank from it and there were scratch marks on packets of food consistent with the dog trying to find something to eat.
A post-mortem examination revealed the Labrador had died of dehydration and starvation, and that it was likely it had tried to jump through a window to escape but then became entangled on a blind.
During a previous hearing in the case, a judge said pictures taken at the scene were "the worst photos I have ever seen of cruelty to an animal".
A defence barrister said it was a "tragic case of passive neglect" and said the dog was trapped in the house when his client became pregnant and went to live with her mother.
He said the defendant was "very emotional and distressed" and came to the court with a "good character" and a clear record.
The judge said he had to give McLaverty credit for her guilty plea and her clear record and he suspended the jail term.
McLaverty, who also admitted being the keeper of a dog without a valid licence, was ordered to pay costs of £119.
"You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible," the new US president told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Florida.
It was not entirely clear which incident he was referring to, as many on Twitter pointed out, including the former Swedish prime minister:
Some of those contacted the official @Sweden Twitter account - which is manned by a different Swedish citizen each week - to ask: "What happened in Sweden last night?" It was down to Emma, a school librarian, to allay concerns voiced from people around the world.
(Melfest is the music competition which selects Sweden's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.)
"I went to bed at around 4am, then my daughter woke me up at 7am and in those four hours there were over 800 mentions...I usually get about a hundred," Emma told the BBC on Sunday, referring to the number of Twitter mentions the account received after President Trump's comments.
The hashtag #lastnightinSweden was soon trending on Twitter, and the Swedish embassy in Washington has asked the State Department for clarification.
Donald Trump's comments just weeks after one of his key advisers, Kellyanne Conway, cited a non-existent attack dubbed the "Bowling Green massacre".
There were no reported terrorist incidents in Sweden on Friday.
Sweden's Aftonbladet website helpfully summarised the day in news, which included:
Some people suggest Donald Trump might have been referring to a clip aired on Fox News on Friday night of a documentary about alleged violence committed by refugees in Sweden.
"There was an absolute surge in both gun violence and rape in Sweden once they began this open-door policy," Ami Horowitz, who made the documentary, told Fox News, referring to Sweden's decision to open its doors to large numbers of refugees in 2013.
Fox News is known to be among Donald Trump's favourite cable TV channels.
Others are speculating that the president may have confused Sweden with Sehwan, in Pakistan, where a suicide bombing on a Sufi shrine killed at least 80 people on Friday.
Sweden, with a population of about 9.5m, has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees and migrants in recent years - more per capita than any other European country.
It saw a sharp increase in asylum seekers in 2015, with more than 160,000 people arriving. With the influx, tensions also rose with some isolated attacks on immigrants, as well as pro- and anti-migrant demonstrations.
The killing of a 22-year-old woman in January 2016 by an asylum seeker based at the centre where she worked put further pressure on the government to reassess its approach to refugees.
There was a drop in numbers last year after the country introduced new border checks incurring longer processing times, as well as financial incentives for migrants who voluntarily returned to their country of origin.
Migrant crisis dominates Sweden's politics
Sweden has generally low crime rates.
Preliminary statistics from the Swedish Crime Survey (in Swedish) show only a marginal increase in 2016 from the year before. Fraud and crimes against individuals were up, but drugs crimes and theft had decreased.
The number of reported rapes increased by 13%, although that is still lower than the number reported in 2014 (6,700), as Sweden's The Local reports.
There have been no terror attacks in Sweden since the country's open-door policy on migration began in 2013.
As British historian Simon Schama, says: "The real Swedish message: 200,000 refugees, no terrorist attacks."
In 2010, two bombs detonated in central Stockholm, killing the attacker - an Iraq-born Swedish man - and injuring two others, in what police described as a terrorist attack.
In October 2015, a masked man who was believed to have far-right sympathies killed a teacher and pupil in a sword attack.
And in Malmo last October, a fire at a Muslim community centre was claimed by the Islamic State group - the incident was cited by the White House in the list of incidents it deemed 'under-reported' by the media.
Separately, Sweden is believed to have the highest number of Islamic State fighters per capita in Europe. About 140 of the 300 who went to Syria and Iraq have since returned, leaving the authorities to grapple with how best to reintegrate them into society.
How Sweden became an exporter of jihad
Marine Scotland staff have complained of being paid less than those in comparable jobs in other publicly-owned organisations.
Unite said a chief steward can earn up £29,000-a-year at Marine Scotland but £37,000 at Caledonian MacBrayne.
Marine Scotland, a directorate of the Scottish government, said it was committed to a fair pay policy.
The dispute also involves supplementary recruitment and retention payments.
Unite regional officer Alexander Smart said: "Our members at Marine Scotland do a difficult job on behalf of all of us.
"They are often away from home for long periods of time, protecting Scotland's seas and fisheries.
"They deserve fair pay."
Mr Smart said that with help from Labour MSP Rhoda Grant the matter has been raised directly with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
A Marine Scotland spokesperson said: "We are committed to a pay policy that is fair for all.
"Temporary and supplementary payments are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure staff recruitment and retention, while delivering value for money for Scotland's taxpayers.
"The Scottish government is currently carrying out a comparative pay analysis of seafarers salaries and, at a meeting in February, Marine Scotland agreed to review any supporting information which the trade unions had in support of retaining the pay supplement for a longer period. That commitment remains in place.
"Marine Scotland management is still actively considering the case for the continued payment of a recruitment and retention supplement."
An NGO said that some World Bank policy loans had the effect of supporting coal, gas and oil developments while undermining renewable schemes.
It added the loans were intended to boost growth in the low carbon sector.
The World Bank disputed the report's findings, saying it did not reflect the wider work it did with countries.
The report by NGO Bank Information Center (BIC) looks at the Bank's Development Policy Finance (DPF) operations in four nations - Indonesia, Peru, Egypt and Mozambique.
DPF is one of the main activities of the bank, accounting for about one-third of its funding (more than US $15 billion in 2016), according to the report's authors.
The scheme provides funding for countries in exchange for the implementation of policy agreed by both the national government and World Bank officials.
The authors say the World Bank's Climate Action Plan considers DPF as a key instrument in help developing nations become low-carbon economies.
They added that the scheme was also essential in helping these nations meet their national commitments outlined in reducing emissions, which form the backbone of the Paris Climate Agreement.
However, BIC research found that DPF had introduced subsidies for coal in three of the four nations examined in the report (Indonesia, Egypt and Mozambique).
The authors said this had helped Indonesia become one of the world's top coal exporting nations, while turning Mozambique - considered to be among the most at-risk nations from climate change - into a major player in the global coal sector.
"The findings were really shocking for us because in all of the countries, across the board, the Bank actually created new fossil fuel subsidies, which directly goes against what the Bank wants to achieve," Nezir Sinani, BIC's Europe and Central Asia manager, told BBC News.
"The World Bank has pledged to help countries adopt a low-carbon development path specifically by phasing out fossil fuels subsidies and promoting a carbon tax," he added.
"However, the Bank's policy lending does the opposite by introducing tax breaks for coal power plants and coal exports infrastructure."
A spokesperson for the World Bank told BBC News that the group disputed the picture painted by the report.
"We are deeply disappointed that after close cooperation with BIC on this report, their findings grossly misrepresent the World Bank's engagement in these countries," they observed.
"The report does not capture the World Bank's broader energy work, which involves not only development policy loans, but a mix of interventions - policy reforms, investments, technical assistance - that work together to promote climate smart growth and increased energy access.
"In each of the countries mentioned in the report, the World Bank's development policy loans do not promote the use of coal, but help support a shift towards a cleaner energy mix and low carbon growth."
The report was published by BIC, which works with other groups in civil society to hold the World Bank and other financial institutions accountable, in collaboration with other green groups, including Greenpeace Indonesia and Friends of the Earth Mozambique.

In the deadliest incident, a suicide bomb struck a shrine packed with worshippers in the capital, Kabul, killing at least 54 people.
Another blast struck near a Shia mosque the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif at about the same time, killing four.
The attacks appear to be of a sectarian nature unprecedented in recent Afghan history, correspondents say.
The US has condemned the attacks, saying it continues to "stand with the Afghan people".
The blasts coincided with the Shia Muslim festival of Ashura - the most important day in the Shia calendar and marked with a public holiday in Afghanistan.
By Waheed MassoudBBC Afghan editor, Kabul
This is a charge Pakistan denies, but analysts maintain elements in Pakistan want to open yet another divide - a sectarian one pitting Sunnis in Afghanistan against the Shia who have traditionally shunned the Taliban.
Others believe the Taliban, who failed to target the recent loya jirga conference in Kabul or to make headlines ahead of the global Bonn conference, are behind this latest attack, in an attempt to further divide President Hamid Karzai's political support base.
Either way, a new and brutal precedent has been set and Afghans of all faiths are hoping that it does not open up yet another front in the country's bloody conflict.
Why target Afghanistan's Shias?
In pictures: Afghan bomb attacks
Ashura is the climax of Muharram, the month of mourning for the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson.
Though tensions exist between Afghanistan's Sunni and minority Shia Muslims, most attacks in Afghanistan in recent years have targeted government officials or international forces, correspondents say.
The near-simultaneous explosions happened at about midday (07:30 GMT).
In Kabul, the bomb went off near a gathering of hundreds of Shias singing at the Abu Fazal shrine.
Fifty-four people were killed in the blast, said health ministry spokesman Norughli Kargar, while 150 were injured.
"It was very loud. My ears went deaf and I was blown three metres [yards]," Mustafa, who uses only one name, told Associated Press news agency.
"There was smoke and red blood on the floor of the shrine. There were people lying everywhere."
Amid the chaos straight after the blast, a young girl, dressed in a green shalwar kameez (traditional dress) smeared in blood, stood shrieking, surrounded by the crumpled, piled-up bodies of children, AFP reported.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai spoke of the unprecedented nature of the attack, saying it was "the first time that, on such an important religious day in Afghanistan, terrorism of that horrible nature is taking place".
No-one had claimed to have carried out the attacks, said Mohammad Zahir, head of Kabul's criminal investigation department.
A Taliban statement said the group had not been behind either incident.
Police said they foiled another attack elsewhere in the capital.
The bomb which exploded near the main mosque in Mazar-e-Sharif was apparently strapped to a bicycle, and went off shortly after the Kabul blast.
Balkh province Deputy Police Chief Abdul Raouf Taj said the device exploded as a convoy of Shias, shouting in celebration of Ashura, passed by, AP reported.
At least 17 people were injured.
Elsewhere, police said at least three people were wounded by a motorcycle bomb in the southern city of Kandahar, the Taliban's heartland - but it appears to have been unconnected to the other two attacks.
Mohammad Bakir Shaikzada, the top Shiite cleric in Kabul, said he could not remember a similar attack on such a scale.
"This is a crime against Muslims during the holy day of Ashura," he told AP.
"We Muslims will never forget these attacks. It is the enemy of the Muslims who are carrying them out," he said, though he would not speculate on who might be responsible.
There are tensions between Sunni and minority Shia Muslims in Afghanistan, but violence of the type seen in Pakistan or Iraq is rare, the BBC's Quentin Sommerville in Kabul says.
Over the past decade Shias in Afghanistan have celebrated their festivals more confidently, openly and on a bigger scale than ever before.
The attacks come a day after an international conference on Afghanistan's future was held, in the German city of Bonn.
Pakistan boycotted the conference, after a Nato attack killed 24 of its troops at a checkpoint near the Afghan border last month.
Afghan security officials held their breath during the conference, our correspondent says, fearing there might an attack in Kabul to divert attention.
The ban on travel to the United States by people from a list of mainly Muslim countries has caused widespread political protest.
While it is being discussed at top government level, it is also impacting individuals.
Milad Korkis has lived in Northern Ireland for three years.
He is married to Holly, an American, and both work with a Christian charity.
They were due to visit Holly's family in Pennsylvania in April.
"My travel document says that I am from Syria," Mr Korkis said.
"I called the US Consulate here and our friends in the States and they explained the executive order and it says I can't travel to the States and if I get there I'll be deported."
Mr Korkis' wife Holly said she hoped the ban was only temporary.
"I know that there's processes of safety and there's so much going on," she said.
"But my hope for the future is that it will get better and that we'll be able to have a system that works well and that we will be able to see family, because that's a very important part of our life."
The couple said the tickets they bought months ago may not be refundable.
"As a Christian myself, I'm banned from going to the States," Mr Korkis said.
"It does affect, not just Muslims, but also Christians in the Middle East."
Having captained Warriors in their British & Irish Cup triumph, he then played in both legs of the Championship play-off final win over Bristol.
But the 23-year-old Welshman has been surplus to requirements this season.
Already behind Jonny Arr, his chances were further lessened by the arrival of South African Francis Hougaard.
He becomes the second Warriors scrum-half to announce his departure, following Charlie Mulchrone's planned move to Harlequins.
"I'd like to thank JB for his efforts during his time at Sixways," said Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan. "Especially during the latter stages of last season where he was thrust into first-team action and helped the side gain promotion from the Championship.
"We wish him all the best in his next chapter in France."
Bruzulier, who has represented Wales at age-group and sevens level, was at Saracens before moving to the French ProD2 with Le Pays d'Aix in 2012.
The show opened to mixed reviews in February. It will close on 18 May.
The New York Times said it had "the depth of a shiny picture postcard... that bears a disproportionately long and repetitive message".
The musical won four Tony nominations earlier this week, but missed out on the coveted best musical nod.
Both leading lady - Kelli O'Hara - and Jason Robert Brown's musical score were shortlisted for an award.
O'Hara won rave reviews for her role as a lonely housewife in rural Iowa, who has a brief but passionate affair with a photographer - played by Steven Pasquale. The roles were previously played by Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood in the hit 1995 film.
But in the face of sluggish ticket sales, producers took the decision to call time on the show's Broadway run at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
A revised version of the show, which cost an estimated $8m (£4.7m) to stage, will begin a national tour in autumn 2015.
Jazz musical After Midnight, Aladdin, Beautiful and A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder were the four shows nominated for the best musical Tony on Tuesday.

Arayeb Saqib, 18, admitted three counts of death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury.
Manchester Crown Court heard he had no licence, was uninsured and had smoked cannabis before losing control of an Audi S5 in Manchester, in April.
The judge told Saqib, "Driving like yours ends lives."
Saqib, of Wisner Court, Glasgow, who was 17 at the time, had agreed to meet up with his friends who had been attending a wedding and accepted an invitation to drive the car.
The court heard he drove through the suburb of Fallowfield at speeds of up to 100mph at about 03:15 BST on 27 April.
He was chased by a police patrol which spotted him driving at speed but he drove even faster to get away.
Hamzaa Jacob Iqbal, 24, from Burnage, Mohammad Hamza 21, of Bramhall and Munib Afzal Karim, 20, of Heald Green were all killed in the crash.
A fourth friend was seriously injured.
Sentencing Saqib, Judge David Stockdale, the Honorary Recorder of Manchester, said it was the worst case of causing death by dangerous driving that he had encountered and he "changed the lives of many people close to those young men".
Police Constable Paul Joynson of Greater Manchester Police said: "Arayeb Saqib was 17 at the time of the collision and was in no way experienced enough to drive such a high powered car.
"Saqib's attempts to show off to his friends in a high powered car directly resulted in their death and he will have to live with that on his conscience for the rest of his life."
Moonlight tells the story of a boy growing up gay, black and poor in Miami and stars Andre Holland and Naomie Harris.
Its nominations include film of the year, director of the year and best supporting actress for Harris.
Love & Friendship is an 18th Century romance drama starring Kate Beckinsale.
Moonlight: Small budget, big impact
She is nominated in the actress of the year and British or Irish actress categories, while the film itself is also nominated for British or Irish film of the year.
Moonlight and Love & Friendship face competition from eight other movies in the film of the year category, including La La Land and Manchester by the Sea.
American Honey, Fire at Sea, Nocturnal Animals, Son of Saul, Toni Erdmann and I, Daniel Blake are also nominated.
I, Daniel Blake, which is directed by Ken Loach, won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
It has picked up four London Critics' Circle nominations, including acting nods for Hayley Squires and Dave Johns.

In a statement to the BBC, Belfast City Council confirmed that the dog, who is called Hank, had been taken.
It said the council had a "statutory duty" to enforce the Dogs (NI) Order 1983.
According to the statement, Hank is being assessed and a council spokesperson said it would be "inappropriate" to comment further.
"We would like to assure those who have expressed concern about the dog's welfare that he is being well looked after and his needs are being met", the spokesperson added.
Leonard Collins and Joanne Meadows, have had Hank for almost two years, since he was a puppy.
On Thursday, Mr Collins, who is a computer science student at Ulster University, returned home from his placement to find Hank gone.
A warrant was pinned to his front door. It said Hank had been taken into the care of Belfast City Council under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
Mr Collins said: "My dad walks Hank during the day when I'm at my placement and he called to tell me that he wasn't there.
"I rushed straight home to find the warrant on my door and Hank gone.
"A neighbour told me that eight police officers and four dog wardens showed up to take Hank away.
"I can't fathom why anyone would report him. He lazes about for 90% of the day and wants to play the other 10%.
"He is a very playful dog and is part of our family, my nieces and nephews adore him and my dad loves walking him.
"He's extremely affectionate, we've never had any issues with aggression."
Mr Collins said he believes Hank, who is neutered, insured and micro-chipped, is a cross between a Staffordshire bull terrier and a Labrador.
He claimed he and his family are not allowed to know where Hank is being held, nor are they allowed to visit him.
He also said that the dog warden told him there were no problems or complaints about the dog's behaviour - only how he looks.
"When I spoke to the dog warden they said we had two options, either sign him over, which would most likely result in him being put down, or to fight the order through the courts", Mr Collins said.
"Hank has a skin condition and he doesn't have his medication with him, we don't know where he is or what's happening to him."
Mr Collins said he hopes that breed-specific laws in Northern Ireland will be changed so dogs can be judged on their behaviour.
"In Northern Ireland a dog can be deemed a pit bull because of its measurements - but that doesn't mean it is one", he said.
"If Hank's measurements fell into a certain category he will most likely be put down.
"The law is different in England and Wales."
Under Article 25(a) of the Dogs (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 some types of dog, including pit bulls, are deemed inherently dangerous and can be destroyed. | The economic benefits of more flights between Skye and central Scotland are being examined in a new study.

It follows a Royal British Legion (RBL) campaign highlighting that some awards to veterans injured in service were being reduced to cover care costs.
It is hoped the move will benefit more than 6,000 veterans.
The money will be given to local authorities to make those pensions exempt from financial assessment.
The RBL welcomed the move, saying it addressed a "historic discrepancy".
Social Services Minister Rebecca Evans said: "We owe our armed forces veterans a significant debt of gratitude, which is why they deserve a fairer deal when it comes to social care.
"Pensions are an important source of compensation for many veterans and ensuring they receive the full amount they are rightfully entitled to will make their life that little bit easier."
Appointed successor to Charlotte Edwards, Knight took 5-26 to dismiss the tourists for 165 in 45.4 overs.
Opener Tammy Beaumont hit 70, adding 96 with Knight as England cruised home with 18.1 overs to spare at Grace Road.
Knight is the first player to take five wickets and make a fifty in an ODI.

Katherine Brunt needed only 19 balls to claim her 100th ODI wicket as Pakistan's innings began poorly after England won the toss.
But it was off-spinner Knight who starred, sparking Pakistan's slide from 93-3 by having Iram Javed caught by Lauren Winfield at first slip with only her second delivery.
Sidra Ameen was caught and bowled by the skipper for 52 off 79 balls, with captain Sana Mir following in the same fashion two balls later.
Number nine Asmavia Iqbal made 22 off 34 balls but Knight wrapped up the innings by having her caught at long-on two deliveries after removing Sania Khan.
Lauren Winfield perished to the first ball of England's reply and Georgia Elwiss was bowled for 12 to leave the hosts 33-2.
But Beaumont looked completely at ease and seized her opportunity at the top of the order, hitting four fours off five balls as she showed her early intent.
Iqbal removed Beaumont for 70 - her first ODI half-century - but by that time England required only 37 to win.
Sciver made an aggressive run-a-ball 27, completing a comfortable victory moments after Knight brought up her 70-ball fifty.

There are no words to describe how heartbroken I am to be told the saddest news, that my dear friend Sir Bruce Forsyth has passed away.
From the moment we met, Bruce and I did nothing but laugh our way through a decade of working together on Strictly Come Dancing and I will never forget his generosity, his brilliant sense of humour and his drive to entertain the audiences he so loved.
He has been there for me as a co-host, a mentor, but most importantly as a friend, and I'm extremely fortunate to have worked alongside the man who defined Saturday night entertainment for so many decades.
He was a gentleman and a true legend and I will miss him deeply. My heart goes out to Winnie, his wife, and his beautiful family at this sad time.
He loved being a star. He loved making people laugh. He loved entertaining people. All those cliches of that kind of era and that kind of life were true in his case. There wasn't a phoney part of him. He was through and through vaudeville like a stick of rock.
The training he went through - that's all gone now. He's the last remaining survivor of it all. There was no-one quite like him. Never was, never will be.
What made him great was his impeccable workrate and his determination not to ease into anything, to approach every show as if it were his first. I remember watching him thinking, you crafty old sod, you make it look so easy.
And yet of course he was working away to get it right. You can't be as good as that and take it for granted. He took it seriously, and that's why he lasted so long and became so good at it.
End of Twitter post by @stephenfry
To me, he was an indestructible titan tap dancing his way through life.
I've known Bruce since the 70s when we judged a disco dance competition together and the rest is history.
Working with him on Strictly was personally a joy. His endless teasing of my judging style, particularly with strong sportsmen, was an ongoing joke. His enormous support after I was let go from the Strictly panel meant so much.
Bruce was a true legend, to watch him warming up the audience before filming was a masterclass in entertainment. His quick use of comedy to avoid disaster on a live show was beyond compare.
Above all, his phenomenal tap dancing skills will always remain with me. Bruce was the best of the best. He was a true national treasure and there will never be another like him. He will be missed by many generations.
As long as I can remember there has always been Bruce on our TV. He was a part of my telly viewing from my teens.
So you can imagine my excitement on being asked to be on Strictly and have Bruce one of my heroes on the same show. He was so kind and encouraging to me, the other judges and all those involved in the show.
I used to pop round to his dressing room and chat about stars he met. The truth is there was no one I mentioned he hadn't met. His work ethic, professionalism and charm will be with me forever.
One of his catchphrases was you're my favourite. Well, you were one of mine and the nation's favourites. Bruce, it was nice to see you, to see you, NICE.
I was devoted to him. He was a lovely man. He had great charm, great humour - he was an all-round performer.
He was one of the country's most talented players - a great dancer, great singer and a comedian and also very good actor.
The way he ran a game show was exceptional - a unique talent. He was a lovely man.
He was one of the most talented men this country of ours has ever produced. He could do it all.
He was the best push and shove quiz master - that's an old line. He was magnificent and he was a great entertainer.
He could dance, he was a very nice pianist, he was good at sketches, he was the greatest moaner in the world on the golf course, and he was a unique friend to me.
He was an all round good guy to be with… except when he was playing bad on the golf course, and then he would moan like you can't believe.
Showbusiness will be sad tonight. The public and the showbusiness fraternity have lost one of the real greats of our business. He was great, and he was a national hero.
Today we've lost one of the greatest entertainers our country has ever known.
Bruce was a friend to many of our teams. He's been part of our lives for years - and we'll miss him dearly.
He invented, and then re-invented, Saturday night entertainment across the decades with shows from The Generation Game to Strictly. And, of course, his catchphrases were part of the national conversation.
I saw him perform and marvelled at the chemistry between him and his audience right from the moment he took to the stage - and, by the way, that was always well before any cameras were rolling.
Bruce was such a special part of the BBC. There'll be time to celebrate his amazing contribution later, but for now I just wanted to mark his extraordinary life.
Bruce was so very special, he had such warmth and humour and he was such a superb talent. He will be irreplaceable in peoples' hearts.
I have known him a lifetime. I toured with him in the early days. He was brilliant right from the start. This is such a sad time - the nation will be heartbroken.

The 'Parklife' project will build 30 new all-purpose facilities by 2020 in a partnership between the FA, the Department for Culture Media and Sport, the Premier League and Sport England.
One project, the SGP Sheffield Graves centre, opened on Wednesday.
"We will benefit for decades," said interim England manager Gareth Southgate.
"When talking about player development, you're always thinking about short, medium and long-term strategies. It can't always be about what's right for the next 12 months.
Find out how to get into football with our special guide.
"But the investment isn't always about producing that elite player. It's for kids and communities too.
"I know grassroots clubs give kids somewhere to go where they feel safe, where they get a strong positive influence around them and there's a huge amount of social responsibility."
On Monday, the FA announced a new overseas broadcast rights deal for the FA Cup - reportedly worth £820m - for six seasons from 2018-19.
The value of the overseas deal was undisclosed but chief executive Martin Glenn has said it will allow more investment in pitches, facilities and participation programmes.
"We want people have the opportunity to play on great-quality pitches with top-class dressing rooms and classrooms where coaches can learn," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"If you compare our country to others on the same latitude, they have a lot more artificial pitches.
"Muddy pitches favour the strong children not necessarily the skilful child and we want to improve that situation.
"Too many kids go to matches getting changed in their car because the changing rooms are not of standard. That factor has restricted the take-up of the women's game."
Asked if this investment was coming too late for English football to catch up with its rivals, Glenn said: "We start where we start from, don't we?
"Football is felt about so strongly in England with millions of people playing.
"We've got money in the game to invest in these things so it's never too late.
"This is an acceleration of a good start but I think there's still a long way to go."
Former England full-back Danny Mills, who was part of the FA Commission that reported on how to strengthen the national game in 2014, said the new facilities are just one of the changes that need to be made.
"You have to start somewhere," he said. "Back in 2014, we had just under 700 full-size 3G pitches. In contrast, Germany had nearly 4,000.
"These hubs will be the focal point. It is not perfect, we are far behind. But it is a start.
"I am a massive advocate of switching to a summer league for kids when the weather is warmer and the pitches are in better condition.
"In the commission report, we talked about capping wages for players to keep them from earning too much too soon, and clubs are starting to take that on themselves.
"We talked about clubs playing younger players in lower league and cup competitions and that is starting to happen."

The Cheltenham Gold Cup winner beat rivals Seventh Sky and Southfield Theatre on Sunday to claim his first win since taking steeplechasing's blue riband prize in March.
Jockey Nico de Boinville guided the eight-year-old to a 25-length triumph.
Coneygree, who is unbeaten over fences, will ride in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday, 28 November.
"He felt great. We were in tight a couple of times and he shortened up well. He's just the same old Coneygree," said De Boinville.
Gas supplies are expected to be "comfortable", while electricity margins, at 5.1%, are "manageable", the grid said in its Winter Outlook.
This means supply is expected to exceed peak demand by 5.1%.
The Grid may have to secure extra supplies to keep this margin, such as paying plants to remain on standby.
Without these measures, the margin would be 1.2%. With the additional measures, margins are at their lowest for seven years, and have deteriorated year on year. Over last winter, they were 6.1%.
"Our analysis suggests that electricity margins will continue to be tight but manageable throughout the winter period," said Cordi O'Hara, director of UK Market Operations.
"We have taken appropriate steps to support security of supply through the procurement of additional balancing services."
The Grid made similar provisions last winter.
Gas supplies are far more abundant. The Grid forecasts peak demand of 465 million cubic metres a day, with a potential supply of up to 613 million cubic metres.
"Keeping the lights on is non-negotiable," said Energy and Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd. "National Grid has the right tools in place to manage the system this winter and we will ensure that they continue to do so in future."
Keeping the lights on: John Moylan, BBC industry correspondent
The government has announced new measures to ensure the lights stay on in the future.
It's making changes to the Capacity Market, a mechanism which pays owners of power plants a subsidy to guarantee having the plants available from 2018 onwards.
The changes will increase the "incentives and penalties" on firms which agree to build new power plants, but then fail to do so.
It follows reports this week that the only company to win a subsidy to build a new gas power plant as part of the Capacity Market is struggling to find investors.
Carlton Power, which is proposing to build a power station at Trafford in Manchester, has confirmed that the project will be delayed by at least a year.
A number of power stations have closed down in recent years as they come to the end of their natural life. This has led to fears of blackouts in some quarters, with concerns that margins are getting too tight for comfort.
The GMB union accused the Grid of "complacency" and criticised as "bonkers" its policy of paying power stations to be on standby.
"That and bringing unused inefficient power production back into operation are the special measures National Grid is being forced to rely on to keep the lights on and the cost is added to consumers' bills," said national officer Brian Strutton.
But many experts believe fears of the lights going out have been exaggerated.
"The fact is that generation-related electricity outages are vanishingly rare - just one in the last 10 years," said Richard Black, director of the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit.
"Almost all power cuts are down to problems with local distribution of electricity, caused by bad weather and other issues.
"Ten years of crying wolf on power cuts has probably served only to confuse the public, who will be entirely aware that their lights have stayed on."
Education charity Ark will take over Oldknow Academy from September.
The school, in Small Heath, was rated "inadequate" by the education watchdog, which accused governors of promoting a "narrow, faith-based" ideology.
Ark said Oldknow will "remain a local, non-selective, non-denominational, mixed school".
The charity, which runs 31 schools nationwide, including four in Birmingham, said it will consult with parents, staff and pupils over its plans.
It said Rebecca Garratt, head of Ark Tindal Primary in Balsall Heath, would lead Oldknow's transition.
Ms Garratt acknowledged Oldknow, which was previously rated "outstanding", had been through a "difficult period".
"Our energy will be focussed on the future and ensuring the best possible education for students," she said.
Chair of governors, Councillor Barry Henley, said the school would "work closely" with Ark "to ensure standards of education are what they should be, and there is effective oversight of what is happening in school".
Headteacher Bhupinder Kondal, who was reinstated in August will stay in charge at Oldknow.
National Association of Head Teachers general secretary Russell Hobby said the union was pleased Oldknow had found "proper help from a strong sponsor".
"The school has been through a difficult time but has a talented principal who will be able to build it back up given patience and support," he said.
The academy was one of 21 schools in Birmingham investigated and it was subsequently found that a small group of governors had tried to "make significant changes to the ethos and culture of the academy without full consultation".
Last month, chief inspector of schools Sir Michael Wilshaw said Oldknow and four other "inadequate" schools had not improved.
He criticised Oldknow's process for recruiting parent governors, despite concerns highlighted in the earlier inspection.
The bird, which occupied a site at Riggindale Valley, near Haweswater in the Lake District, has not been seen since before the turn of the year.
It is believed to be about 20 years old but has been without a mate for around a decade.
An RSPB spokesman said it was "incredibly sad" and added there was "a real sense of loss" among colleagues.
Haweswater site manager Lee Schofield, said: "By this time of year you would have expected to have seen him on display to attract a mate.
"As the last golden eagle in England, it's an element of wildness that has gone.
"There's no real way of knowing for sure. It's a single bird in a huge landscape and he was of an age we couldn't rule out death by natural causes."
"We've not given up hope," Mr Schofield added. "It may be that he has found an alternative food source."
Golden eagle facts

In previous years the bird had been seen "sky dancing" - a series of dives and rises intended to attract a female partner.
The male is believed to have been the third to take possession of the Haweswater territory.
The previous one disappeared in late 2001 when it was at least 30 years old - and then, the oldest known British eagle.
Perhaps so, but David Swift's journey to the 2016 Skeleton World Championships in Innsbruck is hardly a conventional story.
He was brought up in the Devon town of Newton Abbot, which is better known for its race course and mainline train station than for being a centre of alpine sport.
But, after getting a leaflet thrust in his hand while studying at the University of Bath, he gave the sport a go and has never looked back.
"It was right place, right time really," the 31-year-old British number two told BBC Sport.
"I was studying Sport and Exercise Science 10 years ago and the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association is based up there."

Having been part of the university's athletics team as a sprinter, the 5'8" Swift had the physical gifts to excel in the sport of skeleton with his fast start and compact frame, and showed his talents on the dedicated push track on campus.
At first it all went well, winning the British title and a silver medal at the World Junior Championships in 2008.
But his progression since then has been slightly slower, missing out on selection for the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics and only being selected for the World Championships for the first time in 2015.
"There's been a lot of disappointment along the way," he said. "I narrowly missed out on Sochi last time around, and that sort of thing enables you to learn a lot about yourself and how to move forward.
"I went back to the drawing board and figured out what I needed to do to move forward.
"Last year I got my first call for the World Championships, this is the second one, and now we're two years out from the PyeongChang Olympics it feels like momentum's building, which is a good place to be."
Swift revels in the pun of calling this season a "rollercoaster", but it has seen him win his first-ever international race in the lower-tier Europa Cup, having raced on the World Cup and Intercontinental Cup circuits.
"I moved down to the Europa Cup just to fill the time, entered a race and won it," he said.
"That was the first race internationally that I'd won in eight or nine years, so in terms of momentum and confidence I'm buzzing and raring to go with the World Championships."
Great Britain's women have enjoyed much of the limelight when it comes to skeleton, with Lizzy Yarnold and Amy Williams winning gold at the last two Olympics and Shelly Rudman and Alex Coomber also making the podium.
British skeleton was dominated for many years by Kristan Bromley, who won the World Cup in 2008, but the men have never won an Olympic medal.
GB's number one racer Dominic Parsons was fifth in this year's World Cup, while Swift was down in 29th place, two spots ahead of team-mate Ed Smith and 10 spots in front of fellow Briton Kenny Howard.
It all means that there is a fight on for the country's second berth at the 2018 Olympics, with Swift getting his chance to shine first in Austria this week.
"Historically we've won a lot of medals female-wise, so it'd be nice for the males to start evening the score up a little bit," he said.
"In terms of the competition we have internally, there's a lot of good guys coming through.
"The internal competition is what we need to drive forward, because it's not enough just to turn up at the Games - we want to be competitive.
"Having that internal competition means we're going to be in a place where hopefully in two years' time we'll all be champing for that medal place."
Fr Patrick Conway found Michael Clune hiding in a room in his home in Ennis on 7 December.
The burglar initially denied breaking into Fr Conway's house and stealing 20 euros.
It was only after he gave the money back that the priest drove him into Ennis.
Fr Conway, an assistant priest in Ennis parish, had just returned from a doctor's appointment when he noticed a downstairs window had been broken.
When he went into his study to call the police, he found Clune hiding in a wardrobe.
He said it came as a shock when he realised it was someone he had known for a number of years.
"I had known Michael since he was a young lad and knew his family well," he said.
The priest confronted Clune about the concrete block that had been thrown through the window but he denied any involvement in the break-in.
Fr Conway then realised 20 euros that he had left out was missing. Again, Clune continued to deny taking the money.
"I had left 20 euros on the floor to remind myself to give it back to someone who had given it to me," he said.
"I said, 'why did you take my money? Give it back' and he said 'I didn't take your money'.
"I was absolutely certain the money was there, so I said 'either you give back my money or we go to the Garda (Irish police)'."
When that failed to work, Fr Conway offered to give him a lift into town.
"I said 'you give me back my money and I'll take you down town'. 'I won't take you to the gardai'. 'I'll bring you over to the cathedral' where another priest had been helping him.
"So he found the money somewhere then and gave it back to me."
On the drive into town, the burglar asked the priest to buy him methadone, which he refused.
When he brought Clune into town, the priest was not at the cathedral so Clune got out of the car.
After consulting with a fellow priest, Fr Conway reported what had happened to police.
Clune pleaded guilty to the burglary and was given an eight-month suspended jail term consecutive to the eight months in jail he is currently serving.
Fr Conway said he had had no contact with the man since the incident, but hoped he was receiving treatment for his addiction in jail.
Robson ended the day on 175 out of 317-4, a large share of it coming in a 180-run opening stand with Nick Gubbins.
Chris Wright then came on to claim the wickets of Gubbins (68) and Nick Compton in successive balls.
But John Simpson and Robson helped restore Middlesex's domination.
After Keith Barker had whittled out two more wickets, including home captain Adam Voges, to leave the hosts on 263-4, wicketkeeper Simpson (31) has so far helped put on 54 with the redoubtable Robson.
Middlesex have not beaten Warwickshire in 19 meetings since June 2001 - and the Bears' away record against them is even better, having not lost in 16 trips to the north side of the capital since losing at Uxbridge in 1988. But the hosts can now a feel bit more hopeful of their chances of ending that miserable record.
It was the second Sunday running that Bears captain Bell had invited the home team to bat without a toss taking place - but Warwickshire's attack did not match the success they had a week ago against Hampshire at Southampton.
Missing the injured Chris Woakes (knee) and Boyd Rankin (side), they went wicketless in the first session - in contrast to a week earlier when Hampshire were seven down by lunch.
Instead, Australia-born Robson cut and drove beautifully to look far more the player England had in mind when they gave him the first of his seven Test caps two summers ago.
On the first day of the Lord's cricketing summer, he punished too many loose balls on a sluggish surface to reach his first hundred since May 2015.
Middlesex centurion Sam Robson told BBC London 94.9:
"We were going to bowl too. It was still tough work but, once you were in and playing the ball on merit, you just put the bad ball away.
"It was a very pleasing day. I felt good. The sun was out and, when you get sent in, you want to try to get off to a good start and get to lunch.
"To kick on was very satisfying and we are in a great position. I'm in a good place and it's great to start well.
"I've been expecting to bat first for four months. I've worked on a few little things with my game."
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM 95.6:
"We didn't bowl well this morning. To go for 130 in the session wasn't us at our best. But for the next two sessions we've gone for about 80-90.
"It was a tough decision. I probably would have tossed in hindsight but that's a wonderful thing. You get here and there's been ice and rain over the last two days.
"We just didn't know. And, when your gut doesn't know, the best option is probably to bowl. But Robbo played fantastically well, to score 170 out of 300.
"It was disappointing to lose Boyd this morning. He would have played. That was frustrating, but it's a test of our squad. Fingers crossed Woakesie will be fit to face Yorkshire.

But now he has announced a farewell tour.
Wilko has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has refused chemotherapy.
In an interview to be broadcast on Friday's Front Row, Wilko Johnson talked to the programme's presenter John Wilson.
The full interview will be broadcast on 25 February at 19:15 on BBC Radio 4's Front Row.
A communique at the end of the summit reiterated a joint call to secure "vulnerable nuclear material".
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said nuclear terrorism remained a "grave threat", while US President Barack Obama said action was key.
The meeting was dominated by North Korea's plan to launch a rocket.
North Korea says the long-range rocket will carry a satellite when it goes up in April. The US says any launch would violate UN resolutions and constitute a missile test.
Iran's nuclear programme was also on the minds of the summit participants, with Mr Obama pledging to meet the leaders of Russia and China on the sidelines to work towards a resolution.
At the meeting, world leaders discussed measures to fight the threat of nuclear terrorism, including the protection of nuclear materials and facilities, as well as the prevention of trafficking of nuclear materials.
By Jonathan MarcusBBC Diplomatic Correspondent
The communique describes nuclear terrorism as one of the most challenging threats to international security. But the responsibility to maintain security over nuclear materials lies firmly with states rather than international bodies. And any effort to try to establish or impose common international standards inevitably raises concerns in some quarters that the world's major powers are seeking to intrude into the nuclear affairs of other countries.
That's why this communique reaffirms that measures to strengthen nuclear security will not hamper the rights of states to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The summit urges states to minimise the use of highly enriched uranium - one of the building blocks for a nuclear bomb.
The summit highlights the threat from radioactive materials more generally. But again all the summit can do is urge states to take measures to secure these materials and work towards ratifying international conventions on nuclear security. It is hardly a resounding outcome from a gathering over-shadowed by the more immediate wrangling over North Korea's and Iran's nuclear activities.
A joint communique reaffirmed their commitment to nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
"Nuclear terrorism continues to be one of the most challenging threats to international security," it said.
"Defeating this threat requires strong national measures and international co-operation given its potential global, political, economic, social and psychological consequences."
But it omitted a reference made in a draft communique last Thursday on the need for "concrete steps" towards a world without nuclear weapons, AFP news agency reports.
There are currently no binding international agreements on how to protect nuclear material stored peacefully inside its home country, says the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul. An amendment seeking to do that is still unratified after seven years.
Addressing the summit, Mr Obama warned there were still "too many bad actors'' who were threatening to stockpile and use ''dangerous'' nuclear material.
"It would not take much, just a handful or so of these materials, to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people and that's not an exaggeration, that's the reality that we face," he said.
"The security of the world depends on the actions that we take."
Mr Hu called for "an international environment conducive to boosting nuclear security" to be created and Mr Lee called for concrete action to tackle a threat that posed "a grave challenge" to peace.
The summit was attended by almost 60 leaders from around the world.
Meetings on Monday were overshadowed by North Korea's planned launch, scheduled to take place between 12 and 16 April.
Pyongyang says it is intended to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korea's founding leader Kim Il-sung.

Nuclear weapons: Who has what?
On Tuesday, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said that the launch would go ahead as planned and criticised Mr Obama's stance as ''confrontational''.
North Korea "will never give up the launch of a satellite for peaceful purposes", the spokesman said in a statement in the official KCNA news agency.
A KCNA report also described the ''weather satellite'' Pyongyang planned to launch as useful for ''the study of weather forecast needed for agriculture and other economic fields''.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, speaking at the summit, called on Pyongyang to cancel the rocket launch, saying that it would violate UN Security Council resolutions.
"As such, the international community strongly urges North Korea to exercise restraint and cancel the launch," he said.
The resolutions were passed after a similar launch in April 2009. Japan is particularly concerned as that rocket was launched over the country three years ago.
The US and Chinese presidents met on Monday on the sidelines of the summit and agreed to co-ordinate their response to any "potential provocation" if Pyongyang went ahead with the launch.
South Korea and the US say North Korea risks further sanctions and isolation if it does not cancel its plans. Seoul has also warned it will shoot down the rocket if it strays over South Korean territory.
Now they think they've figured out why it is - it could be down to fish giving out gas. A US team from the University of California, San Diego, listened to the buzz through microphones dropped down as far as 3,300 feet underwater.
They found out that the noise was particularly strong at sunset and dawn.
Scientists think the buzz comes from large groups of small fish and crustaceans that hide in the deep water during the day, and rise up nearer the surface to feed at night.
Simone Baumann-Pickering , a marine expert who worked on the study, says "it's known that some fish are considered to be farting, that they emit gas as they change depths in the water column.
"We're just scratching the surface in terms of understanding how important sound is."
The fish could be making the noise when they let off gas from their bladders to keep them bouncy. Or it could be that they are communicating with each other using the buzzing.
Indian troops returned fire from the camp in the garrison town of Baramulla, 50km (30 miles) north-west of Srinagar, the main city in Kashmir.
The camp is the local headquarters of a counter-insurgency military unit.
Sunday night's attack came three days after India's army said it had carried out a "surgical strike" in the region.
The army said it had destroyed "terrorist launching pads" used by militants with support from Pakistan, but the Pakistani military disputed this.
The Indian assault followed the deadliest attack on one of its bases in Kashmir in years. On 18 September, militants entered an army base in the town of Uri and killed 18 soldiers.
India 'launches Kashmir border strikes'
India accuses Pakistan of arming and training insurgents fighting for Kashmir's independence from India or its merger with Pakistan, a claim Pakistan denies.
Disputed Muslim-majority Kashmir has been a flashpoint for decades and has sparked two wars between India and Pakistan, which both control parts of the disputed territory but claim it in full.
Relations between India and Pakistan have sharply deteriorated since the attack in Uri earlier this month.
Pakistan says India's stance is a "blatant attempt" to deflect attention from human rights abuses in the region.
More than 80 people, nearly all anti-government protesters, have died in more than two months of violence against Indian rule.
The noted arranger died at his home in Malibu, California on Friday following a long period of ill-health.
Lindsey was musical director for Garland's performances at New York's Carnegie Hall that led to the Grammy-winning album Judy At Carnegie Hall.
An Emmy followed for Streisand's TV concert A Happening In Central Park.
Judy At Carnegie Hall, a live recording of the Wizard of Oz star's concert on 23 April 1961, spent 12 weeks at the top of the Billboard chart and went on to win four Grammy awards.
Lindsey went on to work with Liza Minnelli, Garland's daughter, on her televised Liza With A Z concert.
The New Jersey native spent 25 years as musical director for The Merv Griffin Show, earning two Emmy nominations in the process.
As a composer, his credits include Garland's 1963 film I Could Go on Singing and Albert Brooks' 1979 comedy Real Life.
Details of what caused the service to be unusable for millions of users prior to Christmas have been posted on the firm's blog.
The two events combined to create a cascade of problems that managed to knock out much of the network underpinning the phone service.
Skype is assessing how its network is built to stop the problem recurring.
Writing on the Skype blog, Lars Rabbe, chief information officer at the company, said the problems started on 22 December, when some of its servers that handle instant messaging started getting overloaded.
This meant that the responses they sent to Windows machines running Skype were slightly delayed. Unfortunately, a bug in one version of Skype for Windows meant this delay caused the program to crash.
About 50% of all Skype users ran the buggy 5.0.0.152 version of the software, said Mr Rabbe.
This caused problems for Skype because of the way the network supporting it is organised. Some of the data travelling round Skype's network are passed through all those machines logged on to the service.
Skye video calls on test
Those participating machines act as what Skype calls "supernodes" and carry out some of the administrative tasks of the global network and help to ensure calls get through.
With a huge number of these machines offline because of the crash, the rest of the network quickly became overloaded.
Mr Rabbe wrote that the disappearance of the supernodes meant the remaining ones were swamped by traffic.
"The initial crashes happened just before our usual daily peak-hour and very shortly after the initial crash," wrote Mr Rabbe, "which resulted in traffic to the supernodes that was about 100 times what would normally be expected at that time of day."
Traffic levels were so high that they blew through the safe operating specifications supernodes usually use. As a result, more supernodes shut down.
The "confluence of events", said Mr Rabbe, led to Skype being offline for about 24 hours as engineers put in place hundreds of dedicated supernodes and gradually brought the service back to life.
To ensure the outage does not happen again, Mr Rabbe said Skype would look at its update policy, to see if it should automatically move users to newer versions of its software.
A version of Skype for Windows that is free of the bug already exists, but is not automatically given to users.
It said it would also look at its network to improve capacity and get on with an investment programme that would boost this resilience.
Mr Rabbe apologised again on behalf of the company and added: "We know that we fell short in both fulfilling your expectations and communicating with you during this incident."
Skype has offered compensation to customers in the form of vouchers for pre-pay users and a free week of service for subscribers.
Wing Josaia Raisuqe was sent-off after receiving a second yellow card with 28 minutes remaining.
But quick tries by Raphael Lakafia and Julien Aria saw the French team open an 11-point lead.
Tyler Ardron's touchdown four-minutes from time gave Ospreys hope, but Stade survived a tense finish in Cardiff.
The French side had led at half-time after prop Zurabi Zhvania's try had come during Raisuge's time in the sin-bin.
Josh Matavesi's try early in the second half and a second Dan Biggar penalty after the Fijian wing's second yellow card offence saw Ospreys briefly in the lead by 14-11.
But a lack of composure and abject failure to exploit the extra man was the Welsh region's undoing.
Raisuqe was fortunate to be on the pitch long enough to receive a second yellow card, after being sent to the sin-bin for a stamp on his opposite number Keelan Giles in the first half.
But within two minutes of his eventual dismissal for the lesser crime of being offside at a ruck, Stade were ahead.
Jules Plisson's cross-field kick found Lakafia unmarked wide on the left wing to gather and touch down.
And when second row Hugh Pyle intercepted Sam Davies' pass he found Arias on his shoulder to score at the posts and the French side were 11 points to the good.
Ospreys will reflect on a try by Biggar early in the first half which was ruled out for a forward pass, but a creaking scrummage and cool-headed performances from Stade's Sergio Parisse and Will Genia saw them come up short.
It was Stade's first win away from home this season.
Ospreys' defeat means there are no Welsh teams left in either of Europe's knockout tournaments, while Bath face a tricky trip to France for their semi-final.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy: "I think we probably deserved to win the game in large aspects but ultimately we've paid for some inaccuracies, not finishing off opportunities and a little bit of ill-discipline in the first half,
"At the back end I think there was enough time and opportunities to chase the game down but ultimately we weren't accurate enough and probably forced one or two things that we probably didn't need to."

The idea of a Muslim database arose in November 2015, when Mr Trump told a reporter he would "certainly implement that. Absolutely".
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, said: "If one day Muslim Americans will be forced to register their identities, then that is the day that this proud Jew will register as a Muslim".
His comments came at the group's Never Is Now conference on anti-Semitism, held in New York.
"We must stand with our fellow Americans who may be singled out for how they look, where they're from, who they love or how they pray," Mr Greenblatt said.
The ADL chief, who previously served in the White House as special assistant to President Barack Obama, told BBC News: "The bottom line here is - we in the Jewish community know what it is when you apply a litmus test based on faith - when you identify people and tag them based on faith...
"When you take one group and make all of them suspect. I feel we have more obligations to speak out."
Mr Trump's position on the proposed Muslim register is presently unclear.
In a statement on Thursday, a spokesman for the Trump transition team appeared to row back from his comments last year, saying Mr Trump had "never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false".
Trump 'not opposed to Muslim database'
Trump to Muslims: 'Turn people in'
How Pepe the Frog became a hate symbol
Jason Miller was responding to new reports that Mr Trump's team was considering a database for US immigrants from Muslim countries.
Mr Greenblatt's pledge to register as Muslim struck a chord with many people on social media, who took up the hashtag #NeverIsNow.
Cornell W Brooks, president of African-American civil rights group the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was among those to second the pledge.
"As a proud Christian & a card-carrying member of the @NAACP, I'll also register as a Muslim right behind @JGreenblattADL," he wrote.
"Never is now" refers to the "never again" vow made by Jews after World War Two, when they promised never to stay silent in the face of persecution.
According to an FBI report released this week, hate crimes on the basis of religion increased 23% between 2014 and 2015. This included a rise in reported anti-Jewish crimes, and a significant increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit group based in Alabama, reported 437 separate incidents of intimidation between the election on 8 November and 14 November, targeting ethnic minorities, Muslims, immigrants, women, and the LGBT community.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the justice department was investigating whether recent reports of harassment, for instance at schools and churches, violated federal hate crime and other civil rights laws.
"Many Americans are concerned by a spate of recent news reports about alleged hate crimes and harassment," Ms Lynch said.
She urged the public to keep reporting such incidents, "so that our career investigators and prosecutors can take action to defend your rights".
The health minister has announced an amendment to a bill currently going through the assembly.
This would make it illegal to smoke when children are present in a vehicle.
A similar ban came into force in England and Wales in October and Scotland plans to legislate next year.
The Republic of Ireland has already approved a ban, but it has not been implemented yet.
Health Minister Simon Hamilton said he had taken note of the bans in other UK regions and he believes Northern Ireland should follow suit.
"I have listened carefully to the arguments made by many that Northern Ireland should follow the example of other parts of the United Kingdom, and I confirm to the house today that it is my intention to bring forward an amendment at consideration stage (of the legislation) to ban smoking in cars with children," he said.
The idea is to protect children from the harmful effects of second hand smoke which can increase the risk of asthma, meningitis and cot death.
According to the Department of Health, children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of second-hand smoke as they breathe more rapidly and inhale more pollutants per pound of body weight than adults.
Campaigners say the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland are in favour of introducing the measure.
In 2014, an opinion poll commissioned by NI Chest, Heart and Stroke showed 82% of those polled said the assembly should ban smoking in cars carrying children.
But some fear this is the state going too far, invading people's privacy and curtailing people's freedom.
The department said protecting the health of children in Northern Ireland must be a priority.
In England and Wales, drivers and passengers face a fine of £50 for breaking the law introduced two months ago.
However, police are operating a light touch approach when it comes to enforcement - issuing mainly fines as public awareness increases.
Former world champions Dave 'Boy' McAuley, Barry McGuigan and Wayne McCullough, three of Ireland's biggest boxing names, have all been involved in high-profile rematches with mixed results.
So will Frampton's gamble pay off in Las Vegas and propel 'The Jackal' to bigger and better things? Or will the Belfast fighter live to regret the decision after suffering his first career defeat?
McAuley's first professional fight would influence the rest of his career.
Before he fought Tanzania's John Mwaimu, he decided that if he lost, he would never fight again.
It finished in a draw and he continued to fight, although he carried the result around with him for the next few years.
"Down the line, after four or five fights, I thought I wanted to have a second crack at this guy because I thought I could beat him and the second time I fought him I beat him quite handy," said McAuley.
In his 14th professional fight, McAuley got a shot at the WBA world flyweight title.
Unbeaten until then, he faced a big step up by fighting one of the era's greatest flyweights, Colombia's Fidel Bassa.
"I was still very green behind the ears. I was tense the whole time and inexperience was the main reason that I lost," said McAuley.
The bout was named the 1987 'Fight of the Year' and many people thought he was crazy when he signed up for a rematch, although McAuley says he would have gone for a third fight if given the chance.
"I fought a title eliminator and got the chance to face him again. I had improved my fight game dramatically, but it wasn't enough," said McAuley.
"But I think if I had fought him a third time, I would have had the measure of him."
Frampton's manager McGuigan lost to Peter Eubanks on points in 1981. He then came back and beat him by TKO in December of the same year.
The 'Cyclone' said he simply wanted the blemish of defeat off his record and he was never tempted into a third fight.
Meanwhile, McCullough had two bouts with Oscar Larios in 2005. The 'Pocket Rocket' had lost on a unanimous decision in the first fight that February in California, only to get a rematch in July in Las Vegas.
"People had me winning that first fight. I thought I won it clearly, so I wanted to go back and prove myself in front of fair, commissioned judges in Vegas," he said.
However, McCullough lost out with the fight stopped controversially in the 10th round.
"I had been in the wars with Naseem Hamed and Erik Morales and been busted up but those fights weren't stopped, but here it was and there wasn't a mark on me."
Lose or draw, getting back in the ring is a chance to vindicate yourself as soon as possible. But what happens when you win the first fight and decide to take a rematch?
Faced with the same situation as Frampton is now, McAuley chose to have a rematch with Rodolfo Blanco in 1992, two years after beating him.
"The first fight could have gone either way. It was a tough, tough fight. I wanted to win the second fight because I wanted to prove that winning the first fight wasn't a fluke."
But this time Blanco came out as the victor. McAuley added: "I wanted to put all that negative stuff behind me. And I think I won the second fight pretty clearly, but not on the judges' scorecards unfortunately."
With Frampton's fight on Saturday night one of the year's most eagerly awaited, McAuley thinks the WBA world featherweight champion should win, citing Santa Cruz's possible negative mental state.
He also believes that Santa Cruz should have turned down the first fight with Frampton.
"It will be in the back of Santa Cruz's mind that he was beaten. And he'll be thinking 'what if it happens again?'.
"A voluntary defence means you fight someone you are more than capable of beating. I would have said no - you only fight the likes of Carl Frampton if you have to and they only realised that when they lost."
McCullough thinks Frampton is taking a calculated risk because of his ability to adapt.
"Coming off a win in the last one, Carl will win easier. He now knows what to expect and he will be smarter and have the measure of him this time."
On the possibility of a third meeting in Windsor Park, McAuley says there isn't much hope either way.
"They'll have to honour the first contract. If Carl Frampton wins, there could be a third ... probably not though. And if Santa Cruz wins he'll probably go elsewhere because his boys have drawn the contract up."
With that in mind, it might be unwise to hope for a trilogy, especially if Frampton wins again. Because if you beat someone twice, would it be worth going back for a third time?
The red Mercedes C-class could be seen with both rear wheels in the air off the side of the Victoria Road near Bready at about 15:00 BST.
The car's female driver was taken to hospital for a check-up. Her injuries were not thought to be serious.
Three fire engines were called to the scene, as well as the police and ambulance service.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash.
Few would disagree with the foreign secretary when he says that Saudi Arabia and Iran are engaging in proxy wars in the Middle East.
Not everyone would use his language, accusing both countries of "puppeteering", but it is well known that both Riyadh and Tehran support opposing sides in several conflicts.
In Syria, the Saudis are providing arms to opposition rebels and Iran is supporting some of the many militias fighting alongside the Syrian army.
In Yemen, the Saudis lead a coalition of forces fighting the Houthi rebels who ousted the government and are being backed by Iran.
Across the region, the Sunni-Shia divide is one that sucks in outside nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran into a regional power play that many analysts fear could one day escalate.
Nor is the Foreign Secretary's wider analysis too controversial, that there is a lack of leadership and vision in the Middle East which creates conflicts and opportunities for outside powers to flex their muscles.
In foreign ministries across the world, for example, much thought is being given to how Iran may in the future want to use Hezbollah, the leading Lebanese Shia militia supporting President Assad's forces in Syria.
Where do they take their new-found experience and expertise in warfighting when the Syrian civil war subsides into an insurgency?
Nor is the foreign secretary saying anything that the Saudis have not heard before in private.
Foreign Office sources make clear that this is exactly what Mr Johnson has been telling his Saudi counterpart in their regular phone calls, the last of which was at the weekend.
Nor would Mr Johnson's predecessors, they say, have disagreed with much of his analysis, at least behind closed doors.
No, Mr Johnson's mistake was to say something in public that is normally said in private.
Officially, the British government does not regard the conflict in Yemen as a proxy war.
The UK sees it as a conflict of aggression by Houthi rebels that threatens the security of the Saudi people.
The Saudis are close allies; therefore the UK backs them in their campaign to protect their borders.
There is also a wider strategic interest in Yemen not becoming a failed state that ends up as a bolthole for al Qaeda and so-called Islamic State fighters.
But what has really stoked Downing Street's ire is the way Mr Johnson's faintly disobliging remarks about Saudi Arabia have undermined several days of hard work and diplomacy.
The prime minister has just come back from the Gulf where she has been promoting Britain's engagement with a part of the world whose trade will be hugely important after Brexit.
She has dined with the Saudi king, praised the kingdom for its reforms and given thanks for the vital intelligence the Saudi security services have provided Britain over the years.
And then Theresa May returned to hear her foreign secretary had dismissed the Saudis as "puppeteers" playing at "proxy wars".
It is little wonder that her official spokeswoman came down on Mr Johnson like a tonne of black-edged Downing Street bricks, saying that the foreign secretary was not expressing the government's position and he will have the opportunity to set out the correct government position when he visits Saudi Arabia at the weekend.
To his critics, Boris Johnson is this government's Shakespearean fool, an errant jester who wanders the globe telling jokes that insult as often as they amuse the Queen's allies.
But remember: the Bard often used his clowns to tell a wider truth, one that the players did not always want to hear.
The foreign secretary's problem is that truth is not always good diplomacy.
The teenager appears to have been bitten by an infected flea.
The authorities have sought to calm fears of an epidemic and have quarantined more than 100 people.
Bubonic plague, known as the Black Death when it killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages, is now rare.
World Health Organisation epidemic disease expert Eric Bertherat told the BBC there were about 400 cases of bubonic plague reported in 2012.
He said Africa accounted for more than 90% of cases worldwide - especially Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Dr Bertherat said that bubonic plague in Central Asia was usually transmitted by fleas attached to small wild mammals, which meant that only those who lived in rural areas and worked outside for long hours were in danger of being affected.
"Because bubonic plague is such a rare event, local medical staff are not prepared to diagnose the disease and treat it appropriately," he said, "which means the first patient usually dies without even a diagnostic.
"If secondary cases occur, medical staff are aware and better able to treat patients with antibiotics."
The teenager, named as Temir Issakunov, came from a mountain village in the north-east of the country, close to the border with Kazakhstan.
"We suspect that the patient was infected with the plague through the bite of a flea," health ministry official Tolo Isakov said.
The BBC's Rayhan Demytrie says that doctors failed to correctly diagnose his illness until tests were made after his death last week.
Teams have been sent to the area to get rid of rodents, which host the fleas that can carry the deadly bacterium.
Reports suggest that the infected flea could have come from a marmot - a type of mountain squirrel sometimes hunted for food.
Kyrgyz authorities say that the availability of antibiotics means that there is no danger of an epidemic.
More than 2,000 people are being tested for bubonic plague in the Issik-Kul region.
Checkpoints have been set up and travel and livestock transport restricted.
Neighbouring Kazakhstan is reported to have tightened border controls to prevent the disease entering its territory.
There are three human plagues caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis of which bubonic plague is the most common.
The other two conditions are linked to bacteria in the blood - septicaemia - and bacteria in the respiratory system - pneumonia, which can be transmitted between humans by respiratory droplets.
During the last 20 years, at least three countries experienced outbreaks of human plague after dormant periods of about 30-50 years, experts say.
These areas were India in 1994 and 2002, Indonesia in 1997 and Algeria in 2003.
According to the World Health Organization, the last significant outbreak of bubonic plague was in Peru in 2010 when 12 people were found to have been infected.
The results mean that DR Congo sit top of Group B on six points while Angola are eliminated after two defeats.
Cameroon know a draw in their final match against DR Congo on Monday will be enough for them to go through.
Only a big win for Ethiopia against Angola coupled with a Cameroon loss gives them any chance of progressing.
Cameroon had the better of the first half, which was held-up for 10 minutes because of floodlight failure, while Ethiopia improved after the break.
However it was a dull encounter in Huye after the earlier game when DR Congo raced into a 3-0 lead by half-time against neighbours Angola.
Nelson Munganga (pictured), Elia Meschak and Jonathan Bolingi all found the target for the inaugural CHAN winners (in 2009).
Gelson and Yano hit back for Angola but in between those goals Merveille Bope struck DR Congo's fourth.
DR Congo have now scored 7 goals at the tournament after their 3-0 win over Ethiopia, who are yet to score in Rwanda.
Cameroon won their opening match 1-0 against Angola
US oil production has increased to a record high in recent years as high prices made investment worthwhile.
Prices halved over the past year as demand fell in line with slower economic growth.
Meanwhile, Opec producers, particularly Saudi Arabia, have maintained high levels of production.
US crude oil was trading at more than $90 a barrel a year ago, but now costs around $45. The UK's Brent crude has also halved in price from a year ago and is currently trading at about $48 a barrel.
Techniques such as fracking have helped US producers offset the falling oil price by lowering investment and production costs.
Slowing economic demand and high production have created a glut of oil that outstrips the world's current needs.
The IEA said the resulting lower oil prices would boost demand to a five-year high this year, a trend that the IEA said would help Opec countries.
Opec controls more than a third of the world's oil output. It typically cuts production when prices fall to attempt to push prices higher.
Its recent strategy has been to keep the taps turned on fully in an attempt to curb US output, which is uneconomical at lower prices.
The IEA said: "Oil's price collapse is closing down high-cost production from Eagle Ford in Texas to Russia and the North Sea, which may result in the loss next year of half a million barrels a day, the biggest decline in 24 years."
Non-Opec supply contracted by one million barrels a day in 1992 from the previous year after the Soviet Union broke apart.
The IEA expects US oil production to drop by 0.4 million barrels a day in 2016. It grew by 1.7 million barrels a day in 2014.
A window in the Wetherspoon Rodborough Buildings in Guildford was broken in two places in the attack on Wednesday.
"People were pretty frightened and were hiding under the tables and running down the stairs," said BBC Surrey reporter Adrian Harms.
Surrey Police said it was believed stones were thrown at the window.
"I did see people standing on the roof of the Friary Centre opposite who looked as though they were throwing objects in the direction of the pub," said Harms, who was in the pub at the time.
Police officers searched the area with the help of the National Police Air Service but no culprits were found.
Nobody was injured.
The town centre was closed for 45 minutes after the attack at 21:00 GMT.
Richard Potts, operations manager at The Friary, said: "We are aware of an incident that took place yesterday evening close to The Friary and have liaised with Surrey Police.
"The incident did not take place in The Friary, which was closed at the time, and The Friary opened this morning as usual."
Plants and drugs to the value of £30,000 were seized following a police raid on a remote property at Whisgills Farm near Newcastleton last July.
Mattias Berry, 45, Shelby Gilligan, 22, and Wayne Chadwick, 42, all from Manchester and Peter Leicester, 68, of Bury, had denied producing the drug.
Procurator Fiscal Graham Fraser said the Crown was deserting the case.
The four had also denied being concerned in the supply of cannabis and stealing a quantity of electricity.
Mr Leicester pled not guilty to knowingly permitting premises to be used for producing a controlled drug.
They were due to stand trial by jury at Jedburgh Sheriff Court next week.
However, it was confirmed at an intermediate hearing that the case against all of them was being deserted.
The £20m Leonardo AW189 - built in Yeovil, Somerset - is the first of two that will operate from Lee-on-the-Solent, near Portsmouth.
The aircraft will conduct training missions in the coming months before starting operational duties in April.
In the meantime the existing AW139 helicopters will continue to operate.
Bristow Helicopters, which operates the UK search and rescue (SAR) helicopter service on behalf of HM Coastguard, has been flying training missions to prepare for the aircraft entering service.
The remaining nine AW189s will be in operation at Prestwick, Lydd, St Athan and Inverness by May 2019.
The 11 AW189s have been specially fitted for UK SAR operations: | Luton midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu has signed a new contract until 2020, with the option of a further year.

The PM claimed a win for Labour would mean a "chaotic Brexit" but Mr Corbyn said the Tories were "strong against the weak and weak against the strong".
Mrs May also declined to confirm the so-called triple lock on the state pensions would be kept in place.
The SNP's Angus Robertson, who raised the issue, said the PM's answers showed she planned to "ditch" the commitment.
The triple lock, which has been in place since 2010, guarantees that pensions rise by the same as average earnings, the consumer price index, or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.
With a general election looming on 8 June, the exchange could have been the last between Mrs May and Mr Corbyn. And it is thought to have been the longest on record, lasting for about 58 minutes, as Commons Speaker John Bercow allowed MPs stepping down at the election to ask questions.
In other election developments:
Mr Corbyn opted to read out questions from members of the public, about low wages, house prices, school spending and the NHS, reverting to an approach he used regularly in his first months as leader.
Millions of people were struggling to "make ends meet" following seven years of austerity, he claimed, while lack of investment in housing had led to the lowest levels of house building for 90 years.
"The election on 8 June is a choice...between a Conservative government for the few and a Labour government that will stand up for all of our people," he said.
The PM defended the government's record and repeatedly said the Conservatives offered "strong and stable" leadership.

Prime Minister's Questions today was brutal, noisy, and obvious.
Obvious in that the Tories are going to spend as many days as they can of this campaign trying to compare Theresa May to Jeremy Corbyn. They want it to be personal.
It's been early days, but there's not much evidence so far to suggest the Tories will go much further in this campaign than to say "don't trust him, trust her".
Labour's not going to publish its manifesto for another couple of weeks. They believe their policies could be popular, which would help to combat some of the perceptions of Jeremy Corbyn. But they have to act fast if they want this election to be much more than a referendum on Jeremy Corbyn versus Theresa May.

She contrasted this with what she said was her opponent's "refusal to say he would strike against terrorism, to commit to our nuclear deterrent and to control our borders".
"Every vote for him is a vote to weaken our economy. Every vote for me is a vote for a strong economy with the benefits felt by everyone across the country," she said.
Responding to Mr Robertson's question about pensions, Mrs May declined to give a guarantee over future spending but insisted "pensioner incomes" would continue to increase under the Conservatives.
The SNP MP said the prime minister had failed to answer a "simple question", adding that "the only reason they will not guarantee it is because they want to cut pensions".
Labour has pledged to retain the triple lock, although the policy has been criticised by MPs as being financially "unsustainable" and an independent review last year said it should be reconsidered.
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron used his question to criticise both the two main parties, claiming the Conservatives "had "never been nastier" while Labour was the most incompetent opposition in history.
In his first intervention of the election campaign, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the UK needed strong leadership in "uncertain and unstable times" and a "serious and clear-sighted" approach to global challenges.
Addressing foreign diplomats in a speech at the Mansion House in central London, he highlighted Theresa May's support for the renewal of the UK's nuclear weapons system and her determination to place a strong transatlantic alliance at the "bedrock of global security".
Ms Harman said she did not report the "horrible" incident at the time, but rejected the advances from Prof TV Sathyamurthy, who has since died.
His widow has called the allegation - made in the MP's forthcoming memoir - "very dubious" and "hard to believe".
The University of York has called the claims "extremely concerning".
Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr, Ms Harman recalled how she had been invited to a meeting with her university tutor, who told her she was "borderline" between a 2:1 and 2:2 grade.
She claimed the tutor told her: "It will be a 2.2 unless you have sex with me."
Asked why she did not report him, she replied: "I thought nobody would listen, that he would deny it and that they would take his side. He was in a position of authority."
"A man in a position of authority that can actually shape your future life can abuse their power for sex," she added.
Prof Sathyamurthy died in 1998, but his ex-wife, Carole Satyamurti, 77, told the Daily Mail: "That's horrible. I find this very hard to believe. The story sounds very dubious to me.
"He was very brilliant and full of jokes, but very respectful of women. I'm sure he wouldn't have done that."
But Ms Harman told the BBC: "The idea that I would invent it - why would I?
"I've said it happened now, having not said anything about it before, because I think we need to look at how we make sure those people who are put in that position, feel able to complain, and those who do that, are held to account."
Ms Harman, who graduated in 1972 aged 21, said she still gained a 2:1 in politics, despite rejecting his advance.
York University's registrar and secretary, Dr David Duncan, said the university strongly condemned all forms of sexual harassment.
"The allegations made by Ms Harman are extremely concerning," he said.
"Behaviour of the sort described by Ms Harman would constitute gross misconduct and would lead to dismissal."
Claire Sumner, 41, from Leeds, said her son Noah suddenly went downhill one night and started thrashing around in bed as his temperature soared.
"I was worried about meningitis or that he would start having convulsions. It was awful," she recalled.
Claire was reliving her concerns as English health officials launch an expanded winter flu jab campaign.
The vaccination programme starts this week - and this year it will be extended to children in school year three (seven and eight-year-olds).
She said that at one point that night she almost took Noah to hospital, but once she had got his temperature down she waited for an emergency appointment with a GP the following day.
Flu was diagnosed and Noah, who was two at the time, eventually started getting better.
"It took him three weeks to get over it," Claire said. "There were times when he was really lethargic and off his food. You just don't expect children to get flu like that."
She said this year she will make sure he gets the flu jab along with his older brother Oliver.
The expanded campaign means there are four million children eligible this year for the vaccination, which is given to them via a nasal spray rather than an injection.
Chief medical officer Prof Dame Sally Davies said: "Flu can be much more dangerous for children than many parents realise and when children get flu they tend to spread it around the whole family.
"Every year thousands of children have flu and it is not uncommon for them to be admitted to hospital."
The vaccination is also offered to the over 65s, and those in at-risk groups such as people with long-term conditions such as diabetes and respiratory problems, and pregnant women.
The launch of the vaccination campaign will be accompanied by a TV, radio and online advertising push encouraging people to get immunised.
Only half of school-aged children eligible for the vaccination got it last year and around a third of two to four-year-olds.
Over-65s had the best uptake - nearly three-quarters received it, while for pregnant women and at-risk groups it was under half.
Two children were among the dead in the Nihm district, which is held by the rebel Houthi movement, medical and security sources told AFP news agency.
Initially the rebel-controlled Saba news agency put the death toll at eight and said the school was "flattened".
There has been no comment by the coalition, which has conducted air strikes on the rebels since March 2015.
The coalition says it does not target civilians, but the UN says its air strikes have caused thousands of civilian deaths and injuries.
Saba cited residents and rescuers as saying the al-Falah primary school, about 53km (33 miles) north-west of the rebel-controlled capital Sanaa, had been "flattened" in Tuesday's attack.
The agency reported that eight children were killed and 15 others critically wounded, and that other casualties might be buried under the rubble.
But medical sources told AFP that two children were killed, identifying the other fatalities as three members of staff.
AFP also initially reported that the school had been hit but later corrected its story, saying a market near the school was struck.
The conflict has taken a toll on children's access to education in Yemen.
The UN says more than 1,600 schools are currently unfit for use due to damage, presence of displaced people, or occupation by combatants. Some two million children are out of school.
In August, 10 children were killed in what medics said was a coalition air strike on a Koranic school in the northern province of Saada. However, a coalition investigation subsequently concluded it had not bombed the area at the time of the incident.
Murray will face the 19-year-old Russian, ranked 152nd in the world, on Wednesday from 09:30 GMT.
Fellow Briton Dan Evans will also be in action in Melbourne, against seventh seed Marin Cilic around 07:00 GMT.
"I've never hit with him or played against him, but I've seen him play and he goes for it," Murray said.
"I know a little bit about him and he doesn't hold back. He hits a big ball.''
Rublev is appearing in his second Grand Slam - he was knocked out in the first round of the US Open in 2015.
"I'm so excited, I have nothing to lose. He's the best tennis player at the moment. So I will just try to take a great experience from this," he said.
Murray was left frustrated after his first round victory over Illya Marchenko, taking two hours and 48 minutes to register a three-set win.
"I have had a lot of tough losses here, for sure,'' said Murray, who has been beaten in the final in Melbourne five times in seven years.
"I have played some of my best tennis on hard courts here. But I keep coming back to try. I'll keep doing that until I'm done.''
Elsewhere, Roger Federer faces American Noah Rubin from 04:00, while fourth seed Stan Wawrinka will play Rubin's compatriot Steve Johnson.
World number one Angelique Kerber plays Germany's Carina Witthoeft, while Serena and Venus Williams appear in the first round of the doubles, playing Hungary's Timea Babos and Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Great Britain's Davis Cup captain Leon Smith
We'll learn a lot more about Rublev in this match. He is a big-hitting player who goes after the shots and plays high-octane tennis.
It'll be good to see what this young man can bring but it's a very tough ask for someone of that age against Andy.
It's an environment that Andy really enjoys. You would expect him to get the job done, but he will study him and won't take anything for granted.
She was giving evidence earlier against Det Sgt Andrew Mottau, who denied gross misconduct while working as a South East Counter Terrorism Unit supervisor.
The woman said he used a key-ring sized black monkey to signal whose turn it was to make tea and coffee.
She said the toy was put on her desk in August when she came back from leave.
The investigator, whose name has not been released, said she felt "ridiculed" and as though other members of her team were laughing at her.
She and Det Sgt Mottau had known each other for more than 20 years, a misconduct hearing was told.
She said: "I'm a black person, serving the public. I was shocked and offended to see a black monkey on my desk.
"He was jeering [at] me and harassing me about the black monkey... I felt violated and grabbed my fags and walked out."
She added: "His actions have racist undertones. The toy remained on my desk for three weeks and it's unthinkable that no-one did anything... I raised an objection more than once."
"He bullied, harassed me and violated my dignity. It dented my confidence and I went home crying."
Det Sgt Mottau is also alleged to have told the woman to make him cups of tea "when the black monkey starts to sing".
Furthermore, he is accused of making racist remarks and asking her to "embrace" the monkey in the period between 15 August and 15 September 2016.
The misconduct hearing is being held at Thames Valley Police's Kidlington headquarters and is scheduled to last four days.
There are not many towns and few sections of society left untouched by a first wave of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th Century.
Names like Nardini, Capaldi, Nutini and Paolozzi have been woven into the tartan tale of the nation.
But now, it would appear, a new influx of residents of the Bel Paese is heading north to find a home.
High levels of youth unemployment - particularly in the south of Italy - have been blamed for this latest exodus.
They are following in the footsteps of men like my own grandfather who left behind a house in the Tuscan hills for the cooler climes of Glasgow in the 1930s.
Among their number are Stefano Setzu and Manuela Cipollina and their two-year-old daughter Rebecca who left Cagliari in Sardinia last month to come to Scotland.
They, too, have ended up in Glasgow in the hope of starting a new life, having both been left without work in their early 40s.
"In Italy at 41 years of age you are cut out of the world of work," explained Manuela.
"There are no incentives for employers to take you on. They tell you you are too old and you cost too much.
"If you want to learn a new profession, nobody will teach you.
"And unless you have a big amount of capital of your own to open a business, there is no help available."
Like so many of the earlier Italian immigrants, it was word of mouth which tempted them to Glasgow.
"We had a friend in Scotland who had come over who told us you could live well and there was plenty of work," she added.
"So with a two-year-old child we asked ourselves - both as a couple and for our daughter - what kind of future could we offer in Sardinia?
"The answer was that in Sardinia - the way things are at the moment in the current economic situation - we could offer nothing."
So they began to have a look at what prospects were like further north in Europe.
"I got a bit of information - I had a look on the internet about Scotland and I have to say that - much to my surprise - I only found good things," said Stefano.
"So with the money we had saved we decided to invest in a country which could give us something back - maybe not an El Dorado - but that could at least give us a chance to get back on our feet."
They arrived in January but said the notorious Scottish weather had not put them off.
"We have settled in straight away which we did not expect," he said.
"The weather hasn't been a problem - we even went out when it was raining, a thing we would never have done in Cagliari.
"Here it seemed the most natural thing in the world, we went out with our daughter in the rain and met people.
"And we were able to confirm what they say about Scottish people - they have been very helpful and have given us a hand in many different ways."
Back in Italy, they could not afford to buy a house together and so were living with their respective mothers.
In Scotland, they hope to find the money to get married and build a new future.
Stefano's last job was in graphic design while Manuela has worked in a number of short-term posts but now hopes she can find a position which allows her to use her passion for making pastries.
One of Scotland's many Italian restaurants and cafes could be their first port of call but they say they are determined to make a success of their new life after leaving family and friends behind.
Stefano's words have echoes of many who left his homeland a century or more ago.
"Our plan was to leave and not go back," he said.
"Going back, for us, would feel like failure, to tell you the truth.
"If we went back we would find ourselves in exactly the same position as when we left, if not even worse."
Scotland has long welcomed their countrymen and now Stefano, Manuela and Rebecca hope it will be their home for years to come.
Monaco went top of the French league on Saturday with a 4-0 win over Marseille.
Nice, without injured striker Mario Balotelli, took the lead through a Alassane Plea header, with Enzo Crivelli equalising from 20 yards.
Plea should have won the game late on, but hit the bar with the goal gaping after rounding keeper Jean-Louis Leca.
Nice are one point above Monaco and champions Paris St-Germain, who beat Lyon 2-1 on Sunday evening with Edinson Cavani scoring twice.
Interim Rovers boss Paul Carden handed home debuts to Mitchell Duggan and Elliot Osborne and the latter went close from long range midway through the first half.
Visiting goalkeeper Dan Hanford also kept out a dangerous effort from Jake Kirby and then denied Jay Harris, while Gateshead came close through Wesley York at the other end as the tide began to turn.
The away side took the lead six minutes after the break as Jones tapped home York's cross from close range for his side's first goal in almost seven hours.
Kirby came close to grabbing an equaliser just after the hour mark but his effort was blocked by midfielder Paddy McLaughlin as the Heed held on.

According to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, there were 3,889 victims of so-called romance fraud last year, who handed over a record £39m.
Action Fraud, the UK's cyber-crime reporting centre, says it receives more than 350 reports of such scams a month.
One woman who lost more than £300,000 says she felt emotionally "brutalised".
Nancy - not her real name - is 47, and a single mother from North Yorkshire, who runs her own business.
In 2015, after her marriage broke down, she signed up to dating site Match.com.
After a few days she made contact with someone calling himself Marcelo from Manchester, an attractive Italian who was working in Turkey, with whom she had "a rapport and similar values".
"Marcelo" soon persuaded Nancy to move their chat off the dating website and on to an instant messaging service. The two began exchanging messages from morning till night.
After about six weeks, Marcelo said he had been mugged in Turkey and was unable to pay his workers before returning to the UK, when he and Nancy were due to meet. He also said his son was in hospital and needed surgery.
Nancy said she was uncomfortable with the situation but ended up "reluctantly" sending 3,650 euros (£3,160).
"It escalated unbelievably quickly, so straight away it was the medical fees, then it was money for food, money needed to pay rent, money for taxes to get out of Turkey.
"I wasn't comfortable, and then I got so far in I couldn't get myself out, and I didn't want to walk away having lost £50,000 or what-have-you, so you keep going in the hope that you're wrong and this person is genuine."
Nancy says she's now facing bankruptcy after having lost "over £300,000, maybe even over £350,000".
"That's really frightening, and the other aspect is that somebody's got inside your head, and they've just brutalised you emotionally. In some ways I'm not sure I'll ever recover from that."
Match.com says it provides regular advice on how to stay safe and suggests members keep conversations on the site "so that our customer care team can identify abnormal activity".

Figures from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau show there were 2,824 reports of dating scams in 2013, with reported losses of £27,344,814.
In 2014, these rose to 3,295 reports and losses of £32,259,381.
In 2015, the number of people rose to 3,363, but the reported losses fell to £25,882,339. Both figures then rose the following year to their record highs.
Steve Proffitt, deputy head of Action Fraud, says each victim loses £10,000 on average.
"A lot of the online dating fraudsters we know are abroad. They're in West Africa, Eastern Europe and it's very difficult for British law enforcement to take action against them in those jurisdictions."
Judith Lathlean, 68, a university professor living in Hampshire, fell victim to a fraudster when she tried online dating in 2015, using the website Parship.
She matched with a man calling himself John Porter from London, who said he was an interior designer. He said that he too was a Christian, and his profile emphasised honesty and trust.
But he contacted Ms Lathlean from what he said was a business trip in South Africa, claiming he had lost his passport and saying he would lose a contract as a result.
"The emails started getting a bit frantic, and the phone calls - 'I'm really worried, I'll lose the contract and this is going to be awful because it's very valuable'," she said.
"And I immediately, because I was so believing in him, said, 'Don't worry John, I can loan you some money'. There was a total eventually of £54,000 for that particular part of the scam."
Weeks later, John got in touch to tell Ms Lathlean he had £15.5m trapped in a safe deposit box in Amsterdam. He asked her to go and release it, and she agreed.
"I met two people there, I was asked to take a handling fee. I didn't think anything of it. That was 16,000 euros (£13,800), and then they took me into this room and they showed me a trunk, which had all these notes in - all in $100 bills.
"The men were perfectly professional. I got a so-called receipt for the money I took as a management fee. They had an answer for everything."
Ms Lathlean estimates she lost a total of £140,000 through several scams by whoever John Porter was.
Parship said its security systems are constantly scanning for fake profiles, but added that in this case "communication was switched very quickly to outside the protected Parship platform, so the blocking facilities did not manage to prevent further contact with the scammer".
Prof Monica Whitty, a cyber-psychologist, says it is "not the case that stupid people fall for romance scams - they can be very clever".
"The criminal talks to them morning, noon and night. They use email to send poetry, they use instant messenger to groom them, to talk to them, to keep them awake at night.
"So they groom them until they're ready to give up money."

It is understood the car was being driven by an elderly man. The emergency services have been attending the scene.
Police said the crash happened at about 17:00 BST near the junction with Osborne Park.
No-one is thought to have been seriously injured and it is understood the crash has not caused any major traffic delays.
Eyewitness Jill Brennan said she heard a huge bang.
"The car accelerated from the Lisburn Road pretty much straight into the front of Russell's, the grocery store.
"It was so lucky there was nobody outside the shop, there was literally a dog tied up outside the shop, but it was so lucky there was no one walking, particularly in that part of the road at that time.
"They would have been wiped out if they had of been there.
"They were also really lucky there was no-one at the front of Russell's at that time either."
She added that the bang was "unbelievable".
"Everyone ran over to see if there were casualties, the dog was going mad but the owner of the dog came and took it away."
She said that an older couple were in the car and that they both appeared to be shaken but not seriously injured.
Police Scotland has drawn up a list of buildings in 58 locations which could be closed as part of a wide-ranging estate review.
Properties in Carnoustie, Leith, Hawick, Oban, Port Glasgow, Ayr and Larkhall are among those under review.
The force said it needed "modern, flexible buildings which are fit for the future".
The list of buildings which "do not match policing requirements" includes some which are no longer routinely used by officers.
Following the review some buildings could be retained but others could be declared "surplus to requirements".
In those circumstances, police officers and staff may be required to work in offices shared with other public agencies.
Assistant Chief Constable Andrew Cowie said: "It makes little sense to maintain old and expensive buildings when smaller, more collaborative options may be available."
Details of the plans emerged in response to a Freedom of Information request from BBC Scotland.
It has led to accusations of secrecy and claims that local communities have been kept in the dark about the proposals.
MSP Oliver Mundell said he only learned about the threat to eight police stations in Dumfries and Galloway when he was tipped off by a constituent.
"A local resident in my constituency found out by asking a surveyor at a local police station what they were doing," he said.
"They were there surveying to find out how much it was worth."

An estate strategy published by Police Scotland last year revealed plans to reduce floor space by up to 25%.
It said the move could generate annual revenue savings of between £5m and £18m a year and property sales could raise up to £34m for the force.
A total of 397 properties were operated by the force in 2013 and since then 44 have been declared surplus to requirements.
In 2014, dozens of police front counters were closed in a move which was widely criticised by Scotland's main opposition parties.
Under the new proposals, police officers and civilian staff may be asked to share office space with other public agencies in a system which is already operating in parts of Scotland.
The first combined emergency services station opened in Tomintoul in April 2014, where police, ambulance and the fire service operate from one building.
And in Cupar in Fife, police officers work alongside council staff.
Police Scotland said they are consulting on the possibility of sharing the existing Hawick police station with partner agencies.
However Oliver Mundell, a Scottish Conservative, fears the move could ultimately threaten the visible presence of police officers in local communities.
"Of the stations that are closing in Dumfries and Galloway, Police Scotland's justification is that they're not routinely manned," he said.
"Two or three years ago [when they closed the front counters], they promised the stations would stay open.
"The problem with the proposal to share space is that two or three years down the line, they'll see that they're not being used, then they'll be removed all together."
Green MSP John Finnie, a former police officer who sits on Holyrood's justice committee, said it was "entirely right" that public agencies assess their property portfolio.
But he added: "If this is part of a further withdrawal from communities, that would be very worrying... When I look at the list and I see Oban, Campbeltown, Taynuilt, Lochgilphead, where are these alternative facilities?"
Gordon Crossan, the president of the Association of the Scottish Police Superintendents, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that Police Scotland was facing "significant budget challenges" and that many stations were in a "shocking state of disrepair".
"Many of these stations are already obsolete, they're expensive to run, they've limited facilities, so we're reviewing that to see what could provide a better service for the public for the money that they give us to deliver policing," he said.
Last month Calum Steele, the general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, raised concerns about the "crumbling police estate".
He told the SNP conference that patrol cars were being held together with duct tape and cable ties, while interview suites for sex assault victims were damp with mouldy carpets.
In response to BBC Scotland's findings, he said: "The standard of the police estate in many areas is nothing short of scandalous.
"Decades of neglect have left the new service with responsibility to rectify the mistakes of the past.
"That being said the service needs to appreciate the public value their police stations and must ensure police services are maintained in all of our communities."
Assistant Chief Constable Andrew Cowie said the review of Police Scotland's estate would enable the force to enhance it service for local communities.
"Police Scotland needs buildings which are modern, flexible and fit for future policing across the wide range of communities we serve," he said.
"The existing estate has evolved over the course of the last 100 years and in some cases it no longer fits the demands of 2016 or the needs of communities."
He added: "The SPA estate strategy sets out a framework which has the service to local communities at its heart, with a visible and accessible policing service which works effectively with local partners as the drivers for any future change.
"Engagement will be carried out by local policing teams to ensure any future decisions are built upon local consultation with communities and partners to ensure our estate continues to meet our needs and the needs of the public. "
The Scottish government said decisions around operational policing were a matter for Police Scotland "working in partnership with individual communities across the country".
A spokesman added: "This government has made clear that we wish to see the community focus of policing further strengthened.
"That is why we have engaged extensively with local government and with communities themselves on our new Strategic Police Priorities which were published on 5 October and have localism at their core."
The 24-year-old left-armer only made one County Championship appearance for the Lord's outfit in 2015 and spent time on loan at Essex.
"Ravi had a difficult season but he remains one of the most exciting young spinners in the country," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said.
"He continues to develop, but the route to the top is rarely straightforward."
Scotland full-back Paterson, 22, is out of contract at the end of the season.
Should the defender leave Tynecastle in the summer, Hearts would be due a development fee of around £450,000.
Levein added at the club's annual general meeting that new head coach Ian Cathro would be provided funds for next month's transfer window.
However, Levein said the ultimate aim was to provide players for the first team from Hearts' academy.
Meanwhile, club owner and chairwoman Ann Budge announced plans to launch a debenture scheme in 2017 to try and bridge a £3m funding gap for the redevelopment of the main stand at Tynecastle.
Renovation works have already started and the ground's capacity will eventually increase to more than 20,000.
Budge says the club have no plans to go into debt to fund the £12m development.
She told around 400 shareholders that commitments from fans' group the Foundation of Hearts and club benefactors of £3m each will also help with the total cost, with £2.5m having already been spent on the preparation of the new stand.
And Budge told BBC Scotland: "I've had a number of supporters contact me already and say, 'can I have a lifetime membership?'

"I don't want it to become a stand purely for the corporates and people who can spend hundreds of pounds to come to football. We've got to offer something for a full range of supporters and that's really what we're trying to do.
"I genuinely don't feel it's a risk as long as the supporters keep supporting us - that's the key factor.
"If for whatever reason that started to tail off, then we would have a problem but the comfort for me comes from knowing that we have already enough to build the stand, to get the seats open, to increase the capacity and then if we run into one or two cash-flow issues, we've got time.
"If we don't kit out or fit out all the space in six months, it doesn't really matter. We know we've got enough to do phase one."
Two in five (41%) of the 2,204 people interviewed by Comres say Britain should accept fewer refugees from Syria and Libya.
The figure was 31% in September 2015.
However, more than half of those surveyed (56%) supported refugees being placed in their local area once they are brought to the UK.
The poll indicated the number of people who say Britain is not doing enough has dropped since September, when photographs were published of two-year-old Syrian Alan Kurdi, who drowned off the coast of Turkey.
Of those questioned, 24% said Britain should allow more refugees, compared with 40% in September.
41%
said fewer refugees should be accepted in January 2016
31%
said the same in September 2015
51% in the West Midlands said fewer should be resettled
31% of Londoners surveyed said the same
31% in the South East said more should be brought to Britain
15% of those in the North East said more should be able to come
The survey found a decrease of 10 percentage points, down from 39% to 29%, since September in the proportion of Britons who say that Britain is not doing enough to take its fair share of responsibility for people coming to Europe from countries such as Syria.
Younger Britons, aged 18 to 24 and 25 to 34, were "significantly more likely" than those aged 65 and over to say Britain should take more refugees, the poll suggested. About one third of younger people believed this compared with 14% of over-65s.
However, almost two thirds (65%) of those surveyed did not believe the attacks by migrants on women in the German city of Cologne should affect willingness to accept migrants into the UK, while 69% thought the incidents received more news coverage because they involved migrants.
Three in five adults from London (60%) surveyed said they supported the UK accepting more refugees from Syria and Libya compared with a third of adults in north-east England (33%) and two in five in the West Midlands (38%).
While 56% of those surveyed supported the idea of refugees from Syria and Libya being placed in their local area, there were differences from region to region.
Two thirds of Londoners (66%) surveyed said they supported refugees from Syria and Libya being placed nearby, while 44% of adults from the North East and 50% of those from the West Midlands said the same.
Three in five British adults suveyed (61%) said accepting refugees from countries such as Syria and Libya puts Britain's security at risk, and more than half (56%) thought that Britain's economy cannot afford to accept any more refugees.
However, just more than half of those surveyed (52%) did not believe that people would be "far more welcoming" if it was only children and not adult refugees brought to the UK.
Refugee Council Head of Advocacy Dr Lisa Doyle said: "It's clear that many people in Britain have been deeply moved by the deadly refugee crisis unfolding on Europe's doorstep.
"It's extremely encouraging that the majority of the British public think that helping refugees from places like Syria is a sign of Britain at its best. We have a proud tradition of protecting refugees and the desire to help others is undoubtedly part of what makes Britain great.
"Now is the time for the government to demonstrate the same generosity of spirit, by offering some of the men, women and children arriving on Europe's shores the protection they so desperately need."
A spokesman for Migration Watch, which advocates tighter immigration controls, said: "The poll results come as no surprise and underline the public's concern both with levels of migration and the seemingly endless flow of asylum seekers, many of whom turn out to be economic migrants simply looking for a better life."
A spokesman for the Home Office said: "The UK has been at the forefront of the international response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria and through our vulnerable persons resettlement scheme we will help up to 20,000 Syrians in need of protection.
"We are very grateful to all those across the country who worked tirelessly to make sure the first 1,000 people to arrive were able to settle, safe and well.
"But we are by no means complacent and we know that there is a long way to go - that is why we are continuing to work with the individuals and groups who have made offers of assistance, in order to develop a sustainable model for helping these vulnerable people settle and integrate in the UK."
ComRes interviewed 2,204 adults in England, Scotland and Wales aged 18 and over by telephone between 22 and 24 January.
The news agency says the alleged offenders are represented by silhouettes and the words "arrested" and "terminated" are superimposed.
An Amazon spokesman had no comment.
Many companies tackle workplace theft, but experts were surprised by the severity of the measure.
The report referred to Amazon's US-based warehouses, and the BBC understands the tactic has not been deployed in the UK.
The details coincide with the announcement that the online store is creating 1,000 jobs at a new centre in Manchester.
Bloomberg said it based its article on interviews with 11 of Amazon's current and former warehouse workers and security staff. It reported that one ex-employee called the scare tactic "offensive".
"These videos show former colleagues being caught stealing things [or] changing the addresses on packages as they leave the fulfilment centre, and even some of them with the word arrested stamped on the silhouette," reported Bloomberg's Cory Johnson.
"It's a problem that Amazon is of course very concerned about, but their tactics to try to get people not to steal are reaching new heights."
The news agency said that the clips are shown via flatscreen TVs. These are also used to display information about firings tied to workplace violence, it said, as well as more positive announcements.
It added that in warehouses not fitted with screens, information about sackings is sometimes taped to the walls.
"Lost stock is a massive issue affecting all retailers regardless of whether they are online or store-based," commented Bryan Roberts from the shopping consultancy TCC Global.
"There are lots of measures in place, such as searches to make sure that stuff doesn't go missing. But this perhaps does sound slightly extreme."
Another expert was more critical, saying Amazon's practices appeared to be "profoundly emotionally unintelligent".
"What sort of an organisation has got to the point that it thinks this is a satisfactory or commendable way to be behaving?" asked Matthew Gwyther, editor of Management Today.
"It reminds me of Ben Hur with them standing over the rowers with a whip.
"I find it extraordinary that its relationships with its workforce have reached such a low point that it would do something like that."
Amazon is trying to reduce its reliance on humans by deploying robots in its warehouses, which can move goods about and carry out other simple tasks. The firm is also experimenting with using drones to make deliveries.
The club said it had granted former player Evans permission to train with the side following a request from the Professional Footballers' Association.
Evans, 25, was freed last month after serving two-and-a-half years for rape.
Ms Webster told BBC's Newsnight that "at no point" had the club acknowledged the "extremity of his crime".
The Wales international footballer was jailed in April 2012 for raping a woman in a hotel room in Rhyl.
Her resignation comes after Sheffield United released a statement on Tuesday saying Evans would be allowed to train with the club. It said the club had not yet decided whether to re-sign him.
Ms Webster told Newsnight that "nobody" was making a decision about Evans, adding: "I suppose I feel I need to make a decision as patron of Sheffield United.
"My decision is made on the fact that I don't believe a convicted rapist, as in Ched Evans, should go back to a club that I am patron of and should go back into the community to represent the community.
"He's not just going into a job, he's bandied as a role model, we cheer him on as a role model and he's influencing the next generation of young men who are currently still making their decisions on how to treat women and what sexual mutual consent is."
Ms Webster - who in an interview earlier this year revealed she had been sexually assaulted as a teenager - said she had had a "positive" conversation with the chairman of the Sheffield United before resigning.
It comes after campaign groups criticised the decision to allow Evans to resume training with his former club.
Almost 157,000 people have signed a petition urging Sheffield United not to take the player back after the club chose not to renew his contract following his conviction.
However, Sheffield United said there could be no place for "mob justice" in making a decision over his future.
The club said it had considered the views of staff, the Football League and the PFA, as well as the club's supporters and the general public.
An appeal against Evans's conviction was rejected by three judges at the Court of Appeal in 2012. His case is due to be looked at by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
The Welsh striker maintains his innocence, saying the sex was consensual.
The village of Frosterley in Durham was split in two after the River Wear burst its banks three weeks ago.
Durham County County said it had had to wait until the river level fell so workers could remove fallen trees and divers could inspect the structure.
The bridge passed the safety inspection and has now reopened to the public, the council said.
Lewis Stratford met Meg Williamson ahead of his sentencing for the crash he caused during an argument with his girlfriend on the phone.
Gavin Roberts, 28, died after Stratford's car crossed the central reservation on the A34, in Oxfordshire.
At the meeting, which Ms Williamson set up, Stratford, 24, said he knew he had ruined lives.
"When I had the message she wanted to meet me I felt upset because I'm guilty and I feel like a bad person," he told the BBC, which filmed the encounter.
Ms Williamson asked to see Stratford, of Field Avenue, Oxford, after he pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He is due to be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 3 March.
He had been driving southbound towards his girlfriend's home, while Mr Roberts - an Australian who was living in Swindon - was going northbound on his way to work as an electrical engineer.
Stratford lost control of his Vauxhall Corsa during the argument on 11 June last year and crashed through the barrier before colliding with Mr Robert's BMW.
Both men were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but while Stratford survived, Mr Roberts died days later.
Stratford was the first to speak in the meeting, saying: "I know I've caused a lot of pain with something that could have waited till the next day.
"I know the lives I've ruined, I deserve everything I get. I am sorry but I can't keep saying that because it's not going to make things better."
Speaking after the meeting, Miss Williamson told the BBC: "The hardest bit originally, I think, was just walking through the door, not knowing how I was going to be feeling, how I was going to react.
"Back in June, when I was sat in the hospital, I did have that hatred and I did have the anger but then over time you realise Lewis is a real person and he had compassion and he was sorry for what he did.
"It's very difficult to warm to somebody when you know why you're sat there but I was understanding of his emotions and compassion and thankful to him for having agreed to meet me."

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

The campaign group, Conradh na Gaeilge (The Gaelic League), met a DUP delegation in April, including party leader Arlene Foster and Edwin Poots.
Conradh na Gaeilge said Mr Poots told them the £19m cost was "reasonable".
The DUP did not confirm or deny the claim, but told the BBC: "Our views are well known and documented."
In a statement issued to the BBC's Talkback programme, the party said: "We want to see mutual respect for all languages and cultures in Northern Ireland but not one elevated above all others."
The issue has been a major sticking point in talks to restore devolution at Stormont.
When asked about the issue in February this year, Mrs Foster said the DUP would never agree to an Irish Language Act.
Alluding to Sinn Féin's demand for the legislation at that time, she said: "If you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back for more."
However, in April, Mrs Foster said she wanted to meet Irish speakers, to better understand those who love the language.
Later that month, the DUP leader visited Irish speakers at a Newry school and used the Irish phrase "go raibh maith agat" [thank you].
The following day, 27 April, Conradh na Gaeilge met a DUP delegation which included Mrs Foster, Mr Poots, South Belfast MLA Christopher Stalford and party advisor David Graham.
The group's advocacy manager, Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, told Talkback the delegation seemed "genuinely interested" in Conradh na Gaeilge's proposals.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin said the £19m estimate would be spent over five years, to give the Irish language legal status and protection.
Those measures would include the appointment of a language commissioner and the establishment of a "central translations unit".
Their research also included estimated costs of providing translators in the legal system, so the Irish language would be an option in the courts.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin, said £9m of the £19m bill would be spent on "one-off costs," needed to establish initial infrastructure to support the language.
However, several callers to the programme expressed concern about the proposals, at a time when public money is needed to support health, education and roads.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin said: "We were mindful throughout the completion of this document that there is obviously pressure on public expenditure at the moment.
"There is obviously a political question to solve here - that we aren't in a situation whereby there is broad political support for this.
"We know that there is difficulty around this, so what we attempted to do was to balance that with the legitimate expectations of the Irish language community."
To produce its costings. Conradh na Gaeilge considered estimates produced by Sinn Féin's Carál Ní Chuilín to introduce an Irish Language Act when she was Stormont's minister for culture, arts and leisure.
Mr Mac Giolla Bhéin told Talkback they also looked at the costs of official language status in the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
The group believes that ongoing costs of maintaining the Irish Language Act would decrease over time, to about £2m per year.
In a statement, Conradh na Gaeilge's president, Niall Comer, said the view expressed by Mr Poots during their meeting was "significant".
"We see this as a considerable development, considering the public statements previously made by the DUP in which cost was used as the main obstacle to progressing legislation."
Conradh na Gaeilge was set up in 1893 by Douglas Hyde, a Protestant from County Roscommon.
He was a leading Gaelic scholar and writer who campaigned for the preservation and promotion of the Irish language.
Hyde later served as the first president of Ireland, from 1938 to 1945.
Philip Spriggs, 51, from Oxford, was found guilty of a total of 20 charges including 11 counts of rape, sexual assault and making indecent photos.
Oxford Crown Court was told the offences took place in Headington over seven years between 2007 and 2014.
Thames Valley Police praised his victims for being "brave" and "speaking out".
Spriggs was given an additional seven years on licence and placed on the sex offenders' register for life.
Det Sgt Tracey Shepherd said: "The victims in this case have been very brave at speaking out against their abuser.
"They can now begin to rebuild their lives knowing they do not have to suffer further abuse."
Spriggs, who was arrested and charged last October, was found guilty of 20 charges following a trial in April.
The charges were 11 counts of rape, two counts of assault of a child under 13, one charge of attempted rape, two charges of sexual assault of a child under 13, two counts of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, one charge of assault by penetration, and one count of making indecent photos.
The Briton has lost four finals in Melbourne - three to Serbia's Djokovic.
"You just have to keep trying to learn, watch his matches, see if there are any weaknesses you can capitalise on," said Murray, second in the ATP rankings.
"Maybe he has a drop-off. It's very difficult to maintain that level for such a long period."
Murray, 28, lost the 2010 final to Roger Federer, before suffering defeat by Djokovic in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
The Serb, also 28, holds three of the four Grand Slam titles, having won Wimbledon and the US Open in addition to the Australian Open.
He prepared for the first major of the season, which runs from January 18 to 31, by beating Rafael Nadal in straight sets to win the Qatar Open last week.
Murray has indicated he will leave Melbourne to return home if his wife Kim goes into labour early with their first baby, who is due in mid-February.
He said, though, that his priorities on the court are to win the Australian Open and to defend his Olympic title in Rio later this year.
"I've been close many times and that's my number one goal," he said.
"I won the gold in London four years ago so to try to defend that is another big goal for me. They would be the two main ones for me."
Jermaine Baker was killed in London by an armed officer in December 2015.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) previously announced the officer would not be charged as there was "not a realistic prospect of conviction".
But the CPS told the BBC it had received a Victims' Right to Review (VRR) application from the family.
The 28 year old, from Tottenham, was with two other men in a car near Wood Green Crown Court.
They had intended to help spring an inmate from a prison van but firearms officers were deployed to foil the plan and Mr Baker, who was unarmed, was shot.
The VRR scheme allows bereaved relatives or partners in homicide cases to request a review of a decision not to charge.
The CPS said it was considering the application.
Paul Anderson, 37, Joanna Farrer, 38, and the girl were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday of religiously aggravated actual bodily harm.
The victims, a mother and daughter, were punched and kicked repeatedly during the attack in Eltham last May.
Anderson, of Sevenoaks, was jailed for three years. Farrer, of Eltham, and the girl will be sentenced at a later date.
The court heard the attack, on 5 May, started when the younger victim had an altercation with the teenager, then aged 12, as she and a boy crossed Middle Park Avenue in Eltham, south east London, in front of her car.
It escalated when the daughter, a 23 year old, met up with her 42-year-old mother and they bumped into the girl and the boy again, who verbally abused the mother.
The girl - who cannot be named because of her age - then attacked the daughter before running off as the woman backed away to call the police.
But she quickly returned with Anderson, Farrer and another, unidentified, woman, the Met Police said.
Anderson punched the 42-year-old woman to the ground whereby one of the female attackers tried to rip off her hijab.
He then punched the younger victim and both women were repeatedly struck by the gang as they lay on the ground, police said.
The attack only stopped when one of the victims managed to flag down a passing ambulance, causing the suspects to flee.
In sentencing, Anderson was ordered to pay £2,000 in compensation to the victims and had an extra month added to his sentence after he called the victims and members of the jury "an offensive word" during the trial.
Farrer will be sentenced on 21 April while the girl will be sentenced at Bromley Youth Court on a date to be set.
Melanie Pressley, of the Met Police's Greenwich Community Safety Unit, said: "This was a brutal and completely unnecessary attack on two Muslim women who were racially abused and then assaulted.
"The victims were left terrified by what happened and lived in fear they would be targeted again."
The company is increasing the number of flights on its winter schedule from October.
Belfast International said it would mean more than 125,000 extra seats will be on sale on its routes to Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
Additional capacity will also be added to services to Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester.
Belfast International said the move "could lead to over 100 new aviation-related jobs in Northern Ireland."
Easyjet operates to 26 destinations from Belfast and already employs 230 staff locally.
Airport managing director Graham Keddie said: "Increasing the number of seats will mean significant increases in airport activity.
"This is a good day for the airport, but an even better one for the Northern Ireland economy."
The winter schedule covers the four months from October.
Easyjet said this coming winter 9,620 flights are on sale from Belfast, providing 1,585,968 seats.
Last winter 8,711 flights were on sale providing 1,394,408 seats.
At a news briefing, he said he would dissolve parliament later this week and was also delaying a planned but unpopular increase in sales tax.
Mr Abe was elected two years ago with an ambitious plan to revive the economy, but has struggled to do so.
His popularity has fallen but he is expected to win the election, which will take place in mid-December.
"I will dissolve the lower house on 21 [November]," Mr Abe said.
Mr Abe's party, the Liberal Democrats, already have a majority in the lower house, but analysts said Mr Abe hoped to consolidate power over an opposition party which is in disarray.
He also wants public support to continue to press ahead with "Abenomics", his ambitious plan to kick-start Japan's stagnant economic growth using heavy government spending and economic reforms.
"I need to hear the voice of the people," Mr Abe said. "I will step down if we fail to keep our majority because that would mean our Abenomics is rejected."
One of his senior advisers told the BBC instability was the last thing voters want.
"Many people in Japan still remember how chaotic Japan's revolving door politics was, when the prime minister changed once every year," said Tomohiko Taniguchi, special adviser to the cabinet.
The rise in Japan's sales tax was brought in by the previous government in 2012 to curb Japan's huge public debt, which is the highest among developed nations.
The first rise - from 5% to 8% - took place in April. Mr Abe's government had hoped the increase would boost government income but instead Japanese consumers stopped spending.
Figures released on Monday showed that the world's third biggest economy had fallen back into a technical recession.
The second increase, to 10%, was set for October 2015 but will now be delayed by at least 18 months.
People on the streets of Tokyo appear bemused by the prospect of yet another election.
But Mr Abe said he wants a new mandate to push ahead with even more ambitious economic reform.
He wants to spend even more money, and to delay another tax rise that was due to take affect at the end of next year.
But there is another reason for calling an election now. This month Mr Abe's popularity slipped below 50% for the first time since his election in 2012.
By Japanese standards 50% is still quite high. But in another year from now Mr Abe may face a much tougher battle to get re-elected.
Better to go now while he is still almost certain of winning another majority, and locking in another four years in power.
Why is Japan heading to the polls?
An election does not need to be held until 2016.
But Mr Abe is looking for a secure mandate ahead of introducing unpopular policies that could see his popularity fall even further, correspondents say.
Mr Abe has also strongly advocated restarting Japan's nuclear power generation plants, all of which were shut down amid public anger after the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
Before the accident about 30% of Japan's power was nuclear-generated, and Mr Abe says the shutdown is damaging the economy because of expensive energy imports.
Mr Abe has also supported a reinterpretation of Japan's constitution that would allow the use of force to act to defend allies, known as collective self-defence.
But the review acknowledged the need for a long-term vision for learning, assessment and qualifications.
Education Minister John O'Dowd commissioned the review following a plan to change the exams in England.
Mr O'Dowd presented the review findings to the assembly and has opened a consultation process.
The review was conducted by the Northern Ireland examinations board, the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA).
It made 49 recommendations ranging from short-term changes to GCSEs and A-levels, to exploring the use of the GCSE and A-level brand alongside England and Wales.
Mr O'Dowd told the assembly he was pleased with the report.
"This an important piece of work and provides an unprecedented opportunity to set out our own stall for learners here.
"The recommendations articulate what we should do to improve the life chances of our young people.
"The report allows us to pro-actively determine what is right for us in the context of our own curriculum and to align our qualifications to our curriculum in the interests of all learners."
The report proposed that GCSEs and A-levels remain as they are, but there will be discussions about those names.
Pupils will still be tested periodically as well as at the end of the courses and coursework will still count towards the final result.
The review also said consideration should be given to streamlining GCSE English and English language.
It recommended a new mathematics qualification and a new IT course.
The Ulster Teachers' Union urged Mr O'Dowd to take on board feedback from teachers during his consultation.
Avril Hall Callaghan said its biggest concern was that Northern Ireland pupils "should not be disadvantaged by any changes".
"The education secretary in Westminster, Michael Gove, has also proposed swingeing changes to the system there, so we are facing a period of upheaval and it is vital that our young people should not suffer as a result," she said.
"Northern Ireland has traditionally produced some of the UK's top performing students and any changes to the system must ensure this gold standard remains."
President of the NUS-USI student movement Rebecca Hall expressed reservations about the planned removal of second re-sit opportunities.
"This could have a very negative impact upon people's ability to fulfil their potential and have access to the widest possible range of opportunities," she said.
"We do, however, recognise that the minister is ensuring a high degree of consistency in the qualifications.
"We also recognise the fact that this announcement today, in cementing the future of these qualifications, will hopefully help retain their integrity and portability."
In June, Westminster Education Secretary Michael Gove announced an overhaul of GCSEs in England, which would move from coursework to exams at the end of two years.
Mr Gove proposed that the changes should come in from 2015.
The team behind the film were in the middle of their speeches before it was revealed the accolade should have gone to Moonlight.
However, it is not the first time the wrong winner - or loser - has been announced at an awards ceremony or live on TV.
Wrong envelope
A little piece of paper was the cause of confusion at the 2016 Mobo awards when the prize for best song was given to the wrong winner.
R&B trio WSTRN kept their award for almost an hour before it was revealed it should have gone to MC Abra Cadabra.
Hosts Rickie Williams and Melvin Odoom announced the error, explaining "someone picked up the wrong envelope".
What a way to steal someone's thunder.
Mobo Awards give out prize to wrong winner
It was possibly the shortest reign in history.
One minute Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, was being hailed as the winner of Miss Universe, the next she was watching "her" crown being placed on the head of Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
In a mistake of truly universal proportions, 2015 contest host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner and the winner's sash and crown were put on the wrong woman. Harvey then had to tell the world a terrible mistake had been made. Awkward.
Miss Colombia mistakenly crowned as winner
The organisers may have got this one right, but one high-profile member of the audience certainly disagreed.
Singer Taylor Swift had just won best female video for her song You Belong With Me at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. However, Kanye West didn't agree with it.
Before Swift managed to utter a single thank you, the rapper snatched the microphone from her and proceeded to tell the audience - and everyone watching on TV - that Beyonce should have won. Cue opened-mouthed shock from Miss Swift.

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

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

The UK public had been voting to decide who would represent the UK at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, with bubblegum pop group Scooch and solo singer Cyndi both among the hopeful finalists.
So there was understandable confusion when hosts Sir Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton simultaneously announced different winners live on air.
Moments later Cotton announced that Scooch had indeed won the public vote. A BBC statement later apologised for the gaffe but confirmed Scooch had won and would be making the trip to Helsinki. Meanwhile, Cyndi's hopes of Euro glory were well and truly Finnish-ed.
Scooch later finished joint 22nd out of the 24 Eurovision finalists.
Gaffe mars Scooch Eurovision win
Somewhat bizarrely Michael Jackson actually accepted a non-existent award at the 2002 MTV video music awards.
The show happened to be held on the "King of Pop's" birthday, and after calling him on stage to receive a birthday cake, singer Britney Spears told the audience she considered him to be the "artist of the millennium".
Jackson then began a full acceptance speech.
"When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me that one day as a musician I'd be getting the artist of the millennium award, I wouldn't have believed it," he said.
He thanked God, his mother, Diana Ross and magician David Blaine, among others.
Singer Katy Perry accepted the award for best international song during France's 2009 NRJ Music Awards, held in Cannes.
However, the gong wasn't actually meant for her. It should have been awarded to Rihanna.
Perry's embarrassment was eased slightly by the fact she did legitimately win best international album for her One of the Boys album at the same awards ceremony.
Sacré bleu.
DJ Brandon Block stumbled on stage at the 2000 Brit Awards believing he had won something.
In fact, Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood and American Beauty actress Thora Birch were in the middle of presenting the best soundtrack award to the film Notting Hill.
Block later recalled that - having been enjoying the corporate hospitality to the full - he had been duped into thinking he had won an award by his mates, and had obligingly trooped up to collect it.
It ended with Block being manhandled by security and Wood throwing his drink over him.

So Japan's Ueno Zoo has held a drill for its zookeepers.
But they didn't use a real zebra - one of their staff got dressed up as a zebra instead!

The restaurant chain has been battling to save its reputation and share price amid a growing E. coli outbreak.
Chris Arnold, a spokesperson for Chipotle said, "Health officials in Boston seem to believe this is a norovirus, which seems consistent with the pattern in our estimation."
The branch has been closed while the illnesses are investigated.
According to Boston College, as of noon on Tuesday, 80 of its students - including members of the men's basketball team - reported suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms after eating at the Chipotle restaurant near the university.
Boston College said all the students had been tested for both E. coli and the norovirus, but the test results would not be available until late on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Chipotle's share price fell 2.9%.
Last Friday, the company told investors it expected to see an 8% to 11% drop in sales in its fourth quarter as a result of the E. coli outbreak that started in October.
Norovirus, also known as winter vomiting, affects approximately 20 million Americans a year according to the US Centres for Disease Control.
It can be easily spread by person-to-person contact, contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated surfaces.
High fees and limited funding are increasingly squeezing talented graduates out of postgraduate study, it says in a report.
The current postgraduate funding scheme is "breathtakingly inadequate" and needs overhaul, say the report authors.
The government welcomed the report "as a useful contribution to the debate".
Postgraduate study is increasingly dominated by people who can pay course fees upfront, argues the study.
The lack of an undergraduate style loans system means poorer students are often unable to take up places on postgraduate courses, it says.
The report is particularly critical of the government backed professional and career development loan scheme (PCDLS).
The scheme makes loans too hard to obtain, it says - in 2010 it helped only 5,700 graduates finance their studies, less than 3% of the total number of home students who started postgraduate courses that year.
The repayment arrangements are also too demanding say the report authors - the government pays the interest during the course, but as soon as it is over students must start repayments, including interest, no matter how little they may be earning.
The study draws on figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency which suggest that the number of UK graduates enrolling on taught masters degrees is in decline in England, particularly among part-time students.
"There was a 4.5% fall in UK postgraduate participation at English institutions in 2011, while first year part-time enrolments in England fell by almost a quarter.
"Without policy intervention, these trends are likely to continue, the club is getting more exclusive", warn the authors.
"Even among graduates with the best first degrees, those from more affluent households are much likelier to be found on postgraduate courses".
With postgraduate qualifications increasingly required by employers, a proper strategy for funding postgraduate education is vital both for social mobility and to ensure that the UK has enough highly skilled workers, Centre Forum argues.
"No country has ever seen its growth rate fall because it has overeducated its population but there are plenty of examples of countries that have suffered from having too few skilled workers".
The report calls for the PCDLS to be scrapped and replaced by a new postgraduate loan scheme, similar to the existing undergraduate student loan scheme, which students start paying off once they start earning more than £21,000 a year.
The government should set up pilots to determine the best model for a new loan scheme "as a priority".
Universities should also raise funds from financial markets, donations and endowments to run postgraduate scholarship schemes for low income students, they argue.
A spokesman for the Department of Business Industry and Skills said the government was committed to supporting postgraduate study.
Funding for taught and research postgraduate programmes would increase by more than £200m in the two years to 2015, he added.
"We have asked Hefce [the Higher Education Funding Council for England] to review participation in postgraduate study, following the changes to undergraduate funding, as part of a longer term assessment and evaluation of the impact of funding changes."
Rachel Wenstone from the National Union of Students said: "You increasingly have to be either extremely rich, extremely lucky, or take an extreme gamble, taking on dangerous levels of debt, to take a master's in this country.
"The government needs to listen to experts and find an alternative that provides real support for students to pay their fees and support themselves while they study."
Nicola Dandridge from Universities UK, said: "The limited funding options available for postgraduate study are a cause for concern.
"It is not yet clear how changes to undergraduate fees will affect graduates' decisions on further study but it is right that postgraduate funding should come under closer scrutiny.
"Universities UK believes that there is a need for a solution which combines both public and private funding so that no-one with the ability and motivation to undertake postgraduate study is prevented from doing so by financial barriers."
The party will also pledge to increase the minimum wage, and call for Scotland to have control over immigration.
But much of the focus will be on what the manifesto says about a second independence referendum.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon wants a referendum to be held in the autumn of next year or spring of 2019.
But the UK government has rejected her call, with Prime Minister Theresa May repeatedly saying that "now is not the time" for a second referendum.
The Conservative manifesto promises there will be no referendum until the Brexit process has "played out" and unless there is "public consent" for one to be held - although it does not specify what that means.
Speaking ahead of launching her party's manifesto, Ms Sturgeon said the SNP would "always make the case that Scotland should have the right to make our own decisions on Scotland's future - and stand against any Tory attempts to diminish the powers of our Scottish Parliament or reverse the gains of devolution".
She added: "Only the SNP can provide the strong opposition that Scotland needs to protect our schools, hospitals and vital public services from deeper Tory cuts and further damaging austerity.
"And if the SNP win this election in Scotland, it will strengthen the country's hand when it comes to opposing cuts, defending our place in Europe and on choosing our future as a nation."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has also firmly opposed a second referendum in recent weeks, claiming it is "unnecessary and unwanted", despite saying earlier this year he would be "fine" with one being held if the Scottish Parliament called for it.
However, in a radio interview on Monday, Mr Corbyn said he would "open discussions" with the Scottish government if he becomes prime minister - but said he would suggest they "think very carefully about it".
The SNP won an unprecedented 56 of the 59 seats in Scotland at the last election - and is widely expected to remain as comfortably the largest party this time around despite opinion polls suggesting it is likely to lose some seats.
Ms Sturgeon, who is Scotland's first minister, argues that she already has a mandate to hold a referendum after winning the last Holyrood election on a manifesto that stated there should be another vote on independence if Scotland was taken out of the EU against its will.
The Scottish Parliament formally backed Ms Sturgeon's call in March, with the combined votes of SNP and Scottish Green MSPs being enough to defeat the pro-UK Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats.
Ms Sturgeon told the BBC's Andrew Neil in an interview on Sunday that the election would "not decide whether or not Scotland becomes independent".
But she argued that another victory for her party in Scotland would strengthen the case for a referendum.
She said: "I want Scotland to have a choice not now but at the end of the Brexit process when the options are clear."
The SNP had originally been scheduled to unveil its manifesto last week, but the event was postponed following the Manchester terror attack.
It will set out an "alternative to Tory cuts" that the party says would see an additional £118bn invested in public services.
The SNP will seek to protect the triple lock on pensions, stop cuts to the winter fuel allowance and deliver extra investment for the NHS, for social security and other vital public services.
And it will promise to increase the minimum wage as part of a plan to improve living standards and tackle inequality.
It would seek to fund its spending plans by delaying reducing the deficit and increasing tax revenues by raising income tax to a new 50p rate across the UK.
The manifesto will also call for Scotland to have control over its own immigration policy.
Ms Sturgeon has sought to portray the election as a chance to protect Scotland from Conservative policies, arguing that Scottish votes for the SNP "can stop Theresa May having a free hand at Westminster to do whatever she wants".
She has also said she would be open to seeking a "progressive alliance" at Westminster to keep the Conservatives out of government in the event of a hung parliament.
But she has predicted that the Conservatives will win another majority in the election - and has said Mr Corbyn is not a credible candidate to be prime minister.
Mr Corbyn has insisted he would not do a deal with the SNP to gain power at Westminster, pledging: "There will be no deals. There will be no alliance. We're fighting this election to win."
Meanwhile, the Scottish Conservatives are to publish fresh plans to improve standards in Scotland's schools as part of its demand for Ms Sturgeon to focus on "education, not separation".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said: "Nicola Sturgeon asked to be judged on education. Standards are down, there is a teacher shortage, we have a curriculum in crisis and our poorest children are being let down."
The Liberal Democrats have also attacked the SNP over its record in government in Scotland, arguing that the party has "taken its eye off the ball" on health and education while it pursues an independence referendum.
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said: "The SNP manifesto needs to cancel the divisive independence referendum so that the SNP can finally turn their attention full time to Scottish public services."
The Ross Fund will be run in partnership with US philanthropists, Bill and Melinda Gates.
It is named after Sir Ronald Ross who became Britain's first Nobel Prize winner in 1902 for his discovery that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.
The number of people dying from malaria is falling but a child still dies from the disease every minute in Africa.
Ministers say the partnership with the Microsoft founder and his wife Melinda marks a "fundamental restructuring" of the UK's aid budget.
The £1bn will come from the UK's overseas aid budget over the next five years.
Of the total:
Chancellor George Osborne said one billion people were infected with malaria and 500,000 children die from the disease each year.
He said the government's commitment to overseas aid helps to "promote our national security and interests around the world".
Working with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will help us in "our joint ambition to see an end to this global disease in our lifetimes", he added.
Mr Gates, co-chairman of the foundation, said eradicating malaria and other poverty-related infectious diseases would be "one of humanity's greatest achievements".
"With the combined skill and expertise of British scientists; leveraging the weight of both public and private financing; and the continued leadership of George Osborne and the UK, [the] announcement of the Ross Fund will play a key role in reaching that goal," he added.
The UK's International Development Secretary Justine Greening said a "healthy, prosperous world is in Britain's interest" and that preventing deadly diseases is a "smart investment".
The "restructuring" plan is expected to be set out by the chancellor in Wednesday's Autumn Statement.
The international development department is protected from cuts and has seen its budget increase year-on-year since 2010.
The government is expected to continue spending 0.7% of GDP on overseas aid.
A report published in the journal Nature earlier this year showed 663 million cases of malaria have been prevented in Africa as a result of concerted efforts to tackle the disease since 2000.
Researchers from Oxford University attributed the reduction mostly to bed nets. The drug artemisinin and spraying homes with insecticide also played a part.
The New Zealander scored eight points as the Italians enjoyed their first victory for a year - and that was against the Blues in February 2015.
Blaine Scully had scored in the corner to give the Blues a half-time lead after two Treviso penalties by Hayward.
But the hosts won it with a penalty try as Blues were penalised for pulling down a scrum just after half-time.
The Blues' second defeat in Italy this season - following their loss at Zebre in October - ended their four-match winning run in the Pro12.
Treviso, meanwhile, celebrated their first win in 14 games this season with a commanding display against a Welsh side without a host of their international players.
After two early Hayward penalties, the visitors' United States international Scully gave the visitors hope of a fifth win in a row.
The American skipper broke through on the overlap to score, but a second-half Treviso penalty try earned the Italians a first victory following 20 successive defeats.
Blues number eight Manoa Vosawai had two good chances to score, but the defeat leaves Danny Wilson's side ninth and 16 points off the play-off places.

The carmaker said it was launching a voluntary redundancy programme and improving manufacturing efficiencies.
It also said it would focus on its most profitable models, such as sports utility vehicles (SUVs).
Ford Europe returned to profit for the first time in four years in 2015, as the parent group recorded record profits of $10.8bn.
This represented a "good first step", said Ford Europe executive vice-president Jim Farley.
"We are absolutely committed to accelerating our transformation, taking the necessary actions to create a vibrant business that is solidly profitable in both good times and down cycles."
The jobs are likely to go at Ford's main European centres in the UK and Germany, said the BBC's employment and industry correspondent, John Moylan.
"It is thought the jobs will be in administration, sales and marketing type functions and not at car or engine production plants," he added.
The carmaker also said it would be launching seven new or redesigned vehicles this year, including a Focus RS and new Kuga and Edge SUVs.
Ford Europe has closed a number of plants as it struggles to turn around heavy losses. Last year, the company made an operating profit of $259m in Europe, compared with a loss of $598m in 2014.
Ford currently employs 13,890 people in the UK.
Russian news reports said up to 200 people took part in the brawl at the south-west Khovanskoye cemetery.
Police said two of the victims died after being run over by a car as people escaped from the scene.
Police spokeswoman Sofya Khotina said the three people in the car, who were armed with pistols, were arrested.
The brawlers fired guns and fought with shovels, shovel handles, steel bars and baseball bats, Russian news reports said.
More than 90 people were arrested, according to police.
Reports said police officers fired into the air in an attempt to quell the violence.
Police believe the brawl was caused by a territorial dispute between two different groups of workers, fighting over the cemetery's lucrative services business.
Reports said they were from ethnic groups from ex-Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The Khovanskoye cemetery is a massive 200-hectare (500-acre) site on Moscow's southwestern outskirts.
Footage allegedly shows badgers caught in snares and shot on Moscar Moor, near Bamford, Derbyshire, earlier this year.
The Hunt Investigation Team (Hit), which recorded the film, claim the animals were deliberately targeted.
The Duke and Duchess of Rutland, who run the estate, said they were unaware of any alleged illegal activities on their land.
Snares, which are not illegal in the UK, are used to catch foxes and rabbits, but are not permitted for catching protected species like badgers.
Hit, which wants to see grouse driven shooting banned, said during a four week period in spring the group covertly filmed on open moorland near Bamford Edge, and claim they discovered "horrific wildlife persecution".
They filmed two badgers caught in snares. The first, they believe, was shot by a masked member of the estate staff and buried in a nearby wood.
The second trapped badger is approached by another armed man who is seen trying to shoot off the snare, but the bleeding animal then runs off into the moorland with the wires still attached, the group said.
A spokeswoman for Hit, who did not want to be identified, said: "The sad thing is grouse eggs are not even a major part of a badger's diet, they're just a small part of it, so the persecution is completely disproportionate.
"Driven grouse shooting is not compatible with wildlife protection.
"What has been peddled as a traditional and respectable custom is actually at the expense of so much of the wildlife."
A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, from the Belvoir Estate in Leicestershire, said in a statement: "They were not aware of any alleged illegal activities being carried out on the land.
"They are horrified by these allegations and will investigate them fully."
Derbyshire Police said it had begun an investigation and would be examining the footage.
The Peak District National Park has not yet commented.
The 24m (80ft) sculpture on Place Vendome in Paris was brought down when supporting cords were cut.
Earlier, US artist Paul McCarthy told a French newspaper that he was attacked by a man who said the sculpture had no place being on the street.
The sculpture is part of the week-long International Contemporary Art Fair in the French capital.
The art fair said it would restore the deflated sculpture as soon as it could.
McCarthy told French newspaper Le Monde that his work, entitled Tree, was an "abstract work" rooted in a joke about a sex toy and was also inspired by a Christmas tree.
Police said the sculpture had been attacked overnight.
"An unidentified group of people cut the cables which were holding the artwork, which caused it to collapse," police said.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the attack was unacceptable, and also denounced the attack on McCarthy.
"Paris will not succumb to the threats of those who, by attacking an artist or a work, are attacking artistic freedom," she said.
"Art has its place in our streets and nobody will be able to chase it away."
Known as Solar Orbiter, the probe will have to operate a mere 42 million km from our star - closer than any spacecraft to date.
The mission proposal was formally adopted by European Space Agency (Esa) member states on Tuesday.
Solar Orbiter is expected to launch in 2017 and will cost close to a billion euros.
Nasa (the US space agency) will participate, providing two instruments for the probe and the rocket to send it on its way.
The Esa delegates, who were meeting in Paris, also selected a mission to investigate two of the great mysteries of modern cosmology - dark matter and dark energy.
Scientists are convinced that these phenomena dominate and shape the Universe but their nature has so far eluded any satisfactory explanation. The discovery in the late 1990s of dark energy and its influence on cosmic expansion was recognised with a Nobel Prize earlier in the day for three scientists.
The Euclid telescope will map the distribution of galaxies to try to get some fresh insight on these dark puzzles.
Like Solar Orbiter, Euclid's cost will be close to a billion euros. However, the mission still needs to clear some legal hurdles and formal adoption is not expected until next year. A launch could occur in 2019.
"They are both exciting missions, and it was really good to hear today that the physics Nobel Prize was awarded to research on the accelerating Universe, which is of course linked to Euclid," said Alvaro Gimenez, Esa's director of science.
"And I'm really looking forward to Solar Orbiter, which will become the reference for solar physics in the years to come," he told BBC News.
The two missions have emerged from Esa's Cosmic Vision exercise, which is planning missions up to 2025.
They were selected after four years of debate and definition involving researchers and engineers from across Europe.
The pair had to argue their case in direct competition with other compelling mission ideas, including at the final stage of selection a proposal for a planet-hunting telescope called Plato.
Esa itself will be investing about 500-600m euros in each venture, with individual member states paying for the instruments that will be carried on the spacecraft. National governments will also fund their own scientists to process and interpret the data returned by the missions.
Solar Orbiter was always regarded as something of a favourite in the race. The concept had been in development since the 1990s, and so the technologies it requires were perhaps better understood than many of its rivals.
Its mission will certainly be challenging as it attempts to acquire measurements of the energetic particles and magnetic fields found close by our star.
The spacecraft will provide remarkable views of the Sun's polar regions and farside. Its elliptical orbit will be tuned such that it can follow the star's rotation, enabling it to observe one specific area for much longer than is currently possible.
Throughout, Solar Orbiter will be staring into the "furnace". The main workings of the spacecraft will have to hide behind a shield to protect it against temperatures higher than 500 degrees; its instruments will need to peek through small slots.
"Solar Orbiter is not so much about taking high-resolution pictures of the Sun, although we'll get those; it's about getting close and joining up what happens on the Sun with what happens in space," explained Tim Horbury from Imperial College London and one of Solar Orbiter's lead scientists.
"The solar wind and coronal mass ejections - these big releases of material coming off the Sun; we don't know precisely where they're coming from, and precisely how they're generated. Solar Orbiter can help us understand that."
Tuesday's meeting of Esa's Science Policy Committee sanctioned a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nasa for its contributions to Solar Orbiter. Delegates also approved a multilateral agreement (MLA) with the national agencies in Europe that will be providing the payload instruments.
Euclid will map the spread of galaxies and clusters of galaxies over 10 billion years of cosmic history.
Its optical and infrared detectors will look deep into space to see how the light from far-distant galaxies has been subtly distorted by intervening unseen, or dark, matter.
It will also map the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies. The patterns in the great voids that exist between these galaxies can be used as a kind of "yardstick" to probe the expansion of the cosmos through time - an expansion which appears to be accelerating as a consequence of some unknown property of space itself referred to by scientists as dark energy.

"Euclid will give us an insight into how structures in the Universe are growing and whether they are growing at the rate we expect from General Relativity (our theory of gravity on large scales)," said Bob Nichol, a Euclid scientist from Portsmouth University.
"But aside from all that, Euclid should also deliver a picture of the Universe that has Hubble clarity over the whole sky. Euclid will detect billions of objects and they will all be there for us to go look at. And when we look back 50 years from now, that could be the one thing about Euclid we all say was worth it - a tremendous legacy for our children," he told BBC News.
Euclid is currently a mission that Europe plans to undertake on its own.
It may not remain that way for long, however.
The Americans are desperate to run a similar mission they call WFirst (Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope). But budget pressures mean this spacecraft is unlikely to be built until after Euclid has flown, giving Europe a clear lead in one of the most important fields of modern astrophysics.
Esa has in the past offered Nasa the opportunity to take a 20% partnership in Euclid.
"The door is always open to the Americans, and we are ready to co-operate with them if they come with a reasonable proposal," said Dr Gimenez.
Co-operation with Nasa on Euclid would require another MOU.

Clare Hughes stole the books while working at the Magnus Church of England Academy in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
She took the books, some of which had a value of up to £80, over three years and sold some for as little as 8p.
Hughes, who earned £58,000 a year, had blamed stress but the judge said she "abused the trust placed in her".
Hughes, 41, from Crown Street, Newark, had taught history at the school for 10 years and admitted five counts of theft.
At Nottingham Crown Court defence barrister, Andrea Parnham, said Hughes had been given responsibility for improving the school and the thefts were "a cry for help".
Hughes was only caught when a colleague replaced a stolen book and realised she had repurchased the missing book which Hughes was selling online.
In a statement, head teacher Gill Barker, said: "At a time of tight budgets the books had been expensive to replace and teaching and learning had suffered at the school.
"Colleagues who trusted Clare Hughes had been left feeling devastated, in disbelief and betrayed."
Recorder Shaun Smith said Hughes had "abused the trust placed in her".
He said given how much she earned she did not need the money and her reasons for selling the books were "hard to fathom".
John Owen, 79, from Llandeilo, stole the money from farmer John Williams after being made executor of his will.
He was jailed last year at Cardiff Crown Court after admitting the theft and is serving five years.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal struck him off on Wednesday.
The judgement will be published at a later date.
The plans could mean the end of regular cycles of inspections of universities.
These "reviews" could be replaced by a more risk-based system, with a stronger emphasis on the outcomes for students, such as employment after graduation.
The higher education funding councils, launching the plans, say they want "student needs at the centre".
But Michael Gunn, chairman of the Million+ group of new universities, said there would be concerns if the end result was losing "an independent external quality assurance system".
The proposals are intended to move away from a "process-driven", tick-box approach to checking standards in universities.
Instead, there would be less emphasis on regular external institutional reviews and more focus on "outcomes" affecting students, such as drop-out rates, feedback from the National Student Survey and graduates' employment prospects.
It would mean that established universities might not face the type of review carried out by the higher education watchdog, the Quality Assurance Agency.
The risk-based approach would mean that more attention would be focused on newer, less-established providers - or in cases where particular concerns had been raised.
Dame Shirley Pearce, who chaired the steering group, said there needed to be a quality assessment system that "pays greater attention to outcomes rather than process, is risk-based rather than formulaic".
It will put greater responsibility on governing bodies of universities to ensure the quality of "students' academic experience" and to show that they respond to problems within their own institutions.
There will also be strengthening of the system of "external examiners", where academics from other universities check on the standard of degrees being awarded.
The Russell Group of leading universities backed a move towards a more risk-based approach, calling for a system that reduced the regulatory bureaucracy for "high-performing institutions".
But the proposals for maintaining quality will also have to incorporate plans expected to be announced by the government for ensuring the quality of teaching.
The Conservatives' election manifesto promised the creation of a "teaching excellence framework" - which would assess teaching standards in the way that the "research excellence framework" is used to compare the quality of university research.
This would require a way of comparing teaching in universities - and the higher education funding councils' report notes that the government is anticipating a "cyclical, external, independent, peer review" to make this possible.
"Excellent teaching and learning is a crucial element of a world-leading and internationally competitive higher education system, and a key priority for this government," said Universities Minister Jo Johnson.
There have been questions about how the Quality Assurance Agency would fit into the proposed overhauled review system and plans for assessing teaching standards.
Chief executive Anthony McClaran said: "The future of UK higher education and its reputation for quality must be based on the key principles of independent, external peer review in partnership with providers and students."
The plans for a different way of checking on quality comes at a time of increasing consumer pressure from students.
The increase in tuition fees has brought into sharper focus value-for-money questions about teaching standards, contact hours and how degree standards compare between different institutions.
An annual survey published this month by the Higher Education Policy Institute indicated that less than half of students believed they had had good or very good value for money from their courses.
There have also been questions about the quality and reliability of some new higher education providers.
There were concerns earlier this year from the Public Accounts Committee about an "abuse of public money", when ineligible overseas students had been accessing funding for courses in private colleges.
The quality assessment plans have been presented by the higher education funding councils for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. But even if the plans are adopted in England, Wales and Northern Ireland could go in different directions.
Scotland's universities operate under a different regulatory system.

Edwina Hart said there was "no place" for such terms of employment, while election campaigning in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Earlier on Wednesday, party leader Ed Miliband said a Labour government at Westminster would give workers the right to a regular contract after 12 weeks of regular hours.
The Conservatives have claimed the move would be a threat to jobs.
Mrs Hart said she has never liked the contracts.
The truck - a Ford Transit - collided with a Peugeot 206 which was being followed by an unmarked police car in Leicester on 9 March.
David Anger and Christopher Needham, who were both passengers in the car, died at the scene, on Fosse Road South.
Guy Tomlinson, 37, has been charged with six motoring offences in total.
Mr Tomlinson, of Norfolk Walk, Leicester, faces two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, two charges of causing death by driving while uninsured and two counts of causing death by driving while unlicensed.
He will appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court later.

David Porter of the Rivers Agency said levels at Lough Erne were also rising again after an initial fall off.
He said they were pumping water out of properties near Coalisland in County Tyrone.
Armagh Observatory said December had been the wettest on record at the institute.
It said the total amount of water recorded as falling was nearly 7.33 inches (18.61cm).
However, it said it was also the warmest December at Armagh since 1988.
Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill visited homes affected by flood water outside Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh, on Tuesday.
Ms O'Neill said it was "very evident" that for some residents the only suitable form of transport on some roads was a tractor.
She said the flooding was causing difficulties to everyday life and "massive challenges for those who live around Lough Erne, particularly in Fermanagh".
"What I wanted to do was to go out and reassure those people in rural Fermanagh that Rivers Agency are doing everything that they can," she said.
"I think that was very evident on the ground and people did accept that. "They accept that they live near Lough Erne and there's always going to be problems with the lough."
A number of roads in the county still remain closed.
Road closures in Northern Ireland
Among the properties Ms O'Neill visited was the home of Gary McManus, who has taken a week off work to care for his mother who is in her 80s, because her care assistants cannot access the property.
Derrytresk on the shores of Lough Neagh near Coalisland is also affected.
Jimmy Quinn said water has been pumped away from his house and his neighbour's since Boxing Day.
"You know you're in a bad way when you see the swans swimming past your window when you are watching Coronation Street," he added.
Ms O'Neill said a task force was set up in 2009 following severe flooding in the area near Lisnaskea.
"A lot of work was done in terms of raising roads," she added.
"Unfortunately I think that needs to be reviewed again, because some of those roads that were actually in fact risen, maybe by as much a metre at that time, are actually under water again."
James Meyers said he was pulled over for driving his car with a defective taillight on Tuesday when the police officer told him there was a warrant out for his arrest.
In 2002, Mr Meyers rented the comedy Freddie Got Fingered from J&J's Video, which has since closed.
He had been charged with failure to return rental property, a misdemeanour.
"The officer said, 'I don't know how to tell you this but there's a warrant out for your arrest from 2002. ... I thought he was joking," Mr Meyers told WSOC, a local TV station.
"For the first time I got put in handcuffs."
He was booked at the police station and was given a court date, but the charge was later dismissed. He faced a fine of $200 (£140).
Freddie Got Fingered, about an out-of-work cartoonist who moves in with his parents, was criticised by critics and was considered a disappointment at the box office when it was released in 2001.
The story even caught the attention of the movie's star comedian Tom Green.
Green told the Australian TV show The Project that he would have gladly paid the fine for Mr Meyer.
"I think it's sort of an example of how bureaucracy can get out of control," Mr Green said.
Armed men opened fired on an aid vehicle as it travelled from Gao to Niamey in neighbouring Niger to pick up medical supplies.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement that it was "profoundly dismayed" by the killing.
Islamist militant group Mujao told AFP that it had carried out the attack.
The nationality of the ICRC worker who was killed has not yet been released.
"He was driving to collect much-needed medical equipment for a Gao hospital," said Yasmine Praz Dessimoz, head of operations for North and West Africa.
"His death is not only a tragedy for his family and for the ICRC, it will affect the life and well-being of tens of thousands of people," she added.
The injured worker was a member of the national Mali Red Cross and is in a stable condition in hospital.
The vehicle the pair were travelling in was clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem and was later burned.
"The ICRC is concerned about the rise in violence against humanitarian workers, which is preventing them from coming to the aid of individuals and communities in dire need," Ms Praz Dessimoz said.
A spokesman for Mujao, Abou Walid Sahraoui, was quoted by AFP as saying: "We have achieved what we wanted with this attack."
Mujao, which stands for Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, was formed in 2011 to spread jihad across West Africa and it believed to be a well-disciplined group.
Mali's desert north suffers frequent militant attacks despite a French-led operation to drive out Islamist fighters in 2013.

Business tycoon Joesley Batista accused Mr Temer of leading "the country's most dangerous criminal organisation".
In an interview with Época magazine published on Saturday, the billionaire alleged that Mr Temer had asked for money several times in recent years in exchange for political favours.
Mr Temer's lawyers intend to file a lawsuit against Mr Batista on Monday.
Mr Batista last month released a secret recording incriminating the president, a move that caused political uproar and led to calls for Mr Temer to step down.
The business mogul was co-operating with the police as part of a plea bargain deal he clinched when the authorities started investigating him in Operation Car Wash - the country's largest-ever corruption investigation that has implicated several big names.
Brazil corruption probe: A glossary
Clamour grows for Brazil's President Temer to resign
Responding to his comments on Saturday, President Temer's office called Mr Batista "a notorious bandit" and criticised the police for allowing him to "escape prosecution".
He said that the terms of the deal made the billionaire "Brazil's most successful criminal ever".
Mr Temer added that he would take "all appropriate actions" against Mr Batista.
Under the plea bargain, Joesley Batista and his brother Wesley admitted to bribing almost 1,900 politicians in recent years.
They were being investigated for their role in two corruption scandals.
Joesley Batista gave prosecutors an audio tape - leaked to the press - where Mr Temer appears to condone bribing a witness.
In it, Mr Temer appears to discuss making hush-money payments to silence politician Eduardo Cunha, who is currently in prison.
Mr Temer has said the recording is genuine and was taken from a meeting in March but denies any wrongdoing.
"I never authorised any payments for someone to be silent," he said in a televised address. "I did not buy anyone's silence. I fear no accusations."
The president said the recording had been tampered with.
B-Secur has developed a biometric technology that uses an individual's heartbeat pattern, or electrocardiogram (ECG), to authenticate their identity.
The investors are Accelerated Digital Ventures (ADV) and Kernel Capital.
The firm said the money would allow it to "grow significantly" in the next year.
B-Secur said it is currently working in the UK, Ireland and the US "to respond to customers across many sectors" including automotive, financial services and access control.
Biometrics, like fingerprint and iris recognition, are an increasingly common security feature on devices like mobile phones.
However, there are questions about how secure those features are.
For example, German hackers defeated the iris-recognition feature in Samsung's new Galaxy S8 smartphone using an artificial eye.
Samsung said that required "a rare combination of circumstances" to pull off, including possession of a high-resolution image of the smartphone owner's iris.
B-Secur say that as "an internal biometric", ECG authentication can minimise hacking or spoofing risks.
As part of the right, employees can expect their request to be considered "in a reasonable manner" by employers.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said 20 million people now had the right to ask to work flexibly.
Unions and employment groups welcomed the move.
The change in the law, which affects everyone with more than six months' service, comes less than a week after the government said it would ban employers from stopping staff with zero-hours contracts - under which employees' hours are not guaranteed - seeking extra work elsewhere.
The government expects the extension of flexible working rights to be of particular interest to older workers approaching retirement and to young workers looking for additional training while they work.
"Modern businesses know that flexible working boosts productivity and staff morale, and helps them keep their top talent so that they can grow," said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
"It's about time we brought working practices bang up-to-date with the needs, and choices, of our modern families."
The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development said the change in the law was recognition of the growing importance of flexible working for both employees and employers.
"Employers increasingly recognise the strong business case for flexible working, including enhanced employee engagement and the attraction and retention of a more diverse workforce," said the institute's chief executive Susannah Clements.
The TUC welcomed the move, but said more needed to be done to ensure that employees' requests were given fair consideration.
"When you make a flexible working request you also need a fair hearing, so we should improve things further by giving people a right to challenge an employer's reason for rejecting a request," said the TUC's general secretary Frances O'Grady.
Many businesses already offer flexible working to their staff.
"We know from our own membership that more than three quarters of our members offer flexible working but there will be a small number of small businesses who just will not be able to do that, whether it's through cost or just from balancing their teams," Liesl Smith from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) told the BBC.
The FSB has expressed concerns about the additional administrative burden the right to request flexible working might place on small businesses.
It has said the right could introduce a "negative dynamic" into the workplace, particularly in the case of unsuccessful requests.
Hannah Turtle, 22, from Shotton, appeared at a preliminary hearing at Mold Crown Court on Friday.
A provisional trial date was set for 29 January 2018.
She is charged with murdering baby James Hughes last year, along with three charges of ill-treatment and two of administering poison.
Ms Turtle, who had been living at Llanarth Hospital in Abergavenny but is now of no fixed abode, was further remanded in custody.
One of the poison charges relates to allegedly administering an antidepressant drug to James between 31 May and 5 June 2016.
He was taken to hospital from the family home in Ryeland Street, Shotton, on 9 June 2016. He died on 13 June.
He was initially treated at the Countess of Chester Hospital and was then transferred to Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital where he died.
Visitors to The Bunyadi will wear only gowns which they can remove "if they wish" as they sample stripped back food cooked without any modern gadgets.
Owners Lollipop said they were "amazed" by the interest in the "fascinating social experiment" that will take diners to a "Pangea-like world".
The restaurant will open for three months in central London in June.
Upon arrival, diners will head to changing rooms where they will place all their belongings in lockers and be given the gowns to wear.
Once in the restaurant, they will be seated in sections partitioned by bamboo and lit only by candlelight, where they will be able to strip "if they wish".
Founder Seb Lyall said he wanted people to "experience a night out without any impurities" including, chemicals, electricity, gas and "even no clothes".
Technology such as phones and watches will also be banned.
A spokesperson for Lollipop said the trickiest part of the restaurant was the cuisine.
All food will be basic and cooked by chefs using only a wooden stick over an open fire.
A tasting menu of five vegan or non-vegan dishes will be served on handmade clay dishes and eaten using edible cutlery, which will become part of one of the courses.
For safety reasons, the chefs will not be naked.
In spite of the size of the waiting list, Lollipop said The Bunyadi will make a loss while it is open.
However, if it proves popular they hope to expand the idea and possibly even create a new "naked cuisine".
Martin McGuinness told journalists: "I've been around a long time and I know how these things work."
He was speaking after Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny broke news of a papal visit to Ireland after meeting the Pope at the Vatican.
A spokesman for First Minister Arlene Foster said if the Pope visited NI as a head of state, she would meet him.
However, at this stage, the Irish Catholic press office has refused to confirm the visit would take place.
Mr Kenny tweeted that the Pope "has been an important voice for the young, the poor and disadvantaged".
"Glad he will visit Ireland in 2018," added Mr Kenny.
"We discussed what he might do and obviously that's a matter for dialogue between His Holiness and the bishops.
"Obviously if that means that he also travels to Northern Ireland we will assist and co-operate in making whatever arrangements."
The Catholic primate of Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, said: "We would love to think that if the Pope is coming to Ireland that perhaps he might be able to visit Northern Ireland at the same time.
Archbishop Martin said the visit would be a "deeply symbolic and powerful moment" for those in Northern Ireland, coming after the visit of the Queen and the first state visit of Irish President Michael Higgins to London.
"That would be in my mind completed by a visit by the Holy Father to Northern Ireland, where he will be welcomed by members of all the traditions here," he said.
The editor of the Irish Catholic newspaper said Northern Ireland would be a vital part of Pope Francis' time on the island of Ireland.
"If a visit to the north wasn't included, the Pope would probably skip the whole island," Michael Kelly told Radio Ulster's Talkback programme.
He said the Vatican felt a visit north of border would complete the pilgrimage by Pope John Paul in 1979.
At that time, the Pope did not cross the border.
The timing coincides with the World Meeting of Families in Dublin in almost two years' time. Since its inception in 1994, there has only been one occasion when the pontiff did not attend the meeting.
It is understood that the Vatican does not confirm a papal visit until six months before it is scheduled to take place.
In an earlier briefing on the World Meeting of Families, the Vatican said the Pope's programme was normally announced just a few months prior to any event.
The Pope had expressed his desire to visit Ireland and such a visit would bring great joy to Irish Catholics and others, said the briefing.
However, given the age of Pope Francis, a visit in 2018 would inevitably have a more restricted programme than that of Pope John Paul II in 1979, it added.
SDLP MLA Alban Maginness told Talkback that things in Northern Ireland had "moved on enormously".
"The Pope will come north and he will be very welcome," he said.
"There is a new mood among Christian believers. The Protestant Churches will be very welcoming. There is a different atmosphere and it will do a lot to excite interest."
Mr Maginness said he hoped the Pope would come to Belfast.
The Evangelical Alliance's David Smyth told Talkback that he had no issue with such a visit, and offered a cautious welcome to it.
"To me, it is an issue of religious freedom," he said. "We say we care a lot about that in Northern Ireland. Not to allow a visit would be strange."
There were significant regional differences with Scotland voting decisively for Remain, and England voting strongly for Leave.
So what's it like to vote against the trend of your area, when many of your friends and family might also be voting the other way?
"I voted stay for a number of reasons, mainly keeping a united front in times of such uncertainty. The result today has shocked and scared me a lot.
I feel very much in a minority. People did not so much try to change my mind as just explain why they were voting out.
My family voted to remain as well. My friends were a mixed bag, which made for an interesting day on Facebook. But nothing to fall out over. I think everyone is just wondering what's going to happen next.
The last thing I would like to add is that even though I'm not happy with result I do respect that the rest of the nation has spoken and that's something we have to live with now. Hopefully it can work out for the best."
"I'm 29 and voted to leave. I'm a patriot regarding the UK. I was up at 4:45 before my shift and felt a sense of relief when I saw the news.
All the scare-mongering by the government and the rest of the world did nothing to dampen the voice of the people - who wanted, and I feel deserved, change from the failed political system.
I'm not anti-Europe but against an unelected bureaucracy that can't be held accountable for their actions.
Most of the people I work with and my friends also voted Leave, so I don't feel that I'm in a minority. If London was mainly for Remain, I think that's because it's what big business wanted."
"I voted Remain. I had the option to study abroad while at university and I work for a European company. I have a lot of colleagues and friends who are European. I'm quite shocked and worried about how this will affect our relationship with Europe and also my job.
I also voted Remain for stability.
The result wasn't a total surprise. I know a lot people where I live were voting to Leave. A lot of people said it was because the EU is undemocratic. We also see a lot of immigration in the south east.
The rest of my family voted leave. We have to move forward together - I'm sure we'll be discussing the issue in the coming weeks."
"I voted Leave as I believe that the EU is going beyond what it was set up to do. The Eurocrats have far too much power, are not listening to the public and people feel disenfranchised.
I am pleased we have been brave today, and our future is ours now to make better. Also concerned about what the future holds for the UK and whether there will be an economic downturn.
I feel a sense of guilt to have voted differently if it brings job losses to some and another independence referendum in Scotland.
My children voted to Remain. We do believe in personal choice but debates got heated at times. We need to try and heal the wounds this referendum has caused and work together for everyone's benefit."
"I woke up this morning fully expecting a Remain vote, possibly as much as 70% in favour. I could not believe my eyes when it was announced that at last we would be leaving the EU.
Honestly I felt like I was 21 again (I'm 62). After all of the negative propaganda being put about, the scare stories of what would happen if we were to 'dare' to go it alone.
The government didn't expect those working class people who usually don't turn out to vote to actually vote this time. Maybe if Cameron had listened to them and got a better deal from Europe then we might've had a different result.
I did speak to people with different views, at work for example. I think a lot of people were voting on party lines or were believing the scare stories put out. I vote with what I think is right, whatever people around me might be voting."

The Nottingham Post reported a single-cell battery was found inside a hollow milk chocolate Easter bunny in Bestwood, Nottingham, on Saturday.
Co-op has initiated a UK-wide recall following the alleged tampering incident.
About 3,000 of the items have been sold nationwide at £1 each.
The National Crime Agency and police are assisting with the investigation, the supermarket said.
Tammy-Louise Dundon told the Nottingham Post: "My daughter bit the ears off and shouted 'what's this?' I was just like 'oh my God'.
"How much damage do these batteries do? I've heard kids have died from eating them. They can get stuck in the oesophagus or can be corrosive."
A spokesman for the Co-op said: "The health and safety of our customers is uppermost in our minds.
"We are concerned about one incident of alleged product tampering involving our hollow milk chocolate Easter bunny foil figure, which has been found to contain a small battery inside.
"This follows an incident at Christmas when two similar products were targeted and contaminated."
Customers have been urged to return Easter bunny figures to stores for a full refund.
Five members of a family died on Sunday when their car left Buncrana pier in County Donegal, entering Lough Swilly.
A baby girl was saved by a passer-by moments before the car sank.
The funerals of those who died will take place in Londonderry on Thursday.
The victims were Ruth Daniels, 57, her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels, 14, Sean McGrotty, 49, and his sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight.
They were the mother, sister, husband and two sons of Louise McGrotty, from Londonderry.
Only four-month-old Rionaghac-Ann survived.
The victims' family has praised Davitt Walsh, the County Donegal man who swam to the car and rescued her.
Flags on public buildings in the Republic of Ireland are also at half-mast for those killed in blasts in the Belgian capital Brussels on Tuesday.
More than 30 people died and 250 were injured in explosions at the city's airport and a metro station, with the so-called Islamic State group claiming it was behind the attacks.
Mr Aspinwall had been diagnosed with cancer and passed away at his home in Willsbridge near Bristol, surrounded by his family earlier on Tuesday.
He represented the former Kingswood constituency from the May 1979 general election until his retirement in 1997.
Mr Aspinwall had previously stood as a Liberal Party candidate but changed his political allegiance in 1979.
He had represented Kingswood between 1979 and 1983 and, after a boundary change, the then Wansdyke constituency between 1983 and 1997.
The seat was lost to Labour's Dan Norris in 1997 before the constituency, which again became Kingswood, was regained by the Tories in 2010 by Chris Skidmore.
Paying tribute, the Conservative MP said Mr Aspinwall inspired him to enter politics.
"I first helped out leafleting for him when I was 11, and he chaired my selection as the Conservative candidate in Kingswood in 2008," he said.
"He was delighted that Kingswood had a Conservative MP once more, and was always there to help, to pass on his wisdom and experience that I was so grateful for.
"My thoughts go out to Brenda, and Jack's family, but I am sure that they will be proud of a remarkable life, lived to the full in the selfless dedication to public service".
The former Labour MP Terry Walker, who held the Kingswood seat between 1974 to 1979, said: "Jack made a considerable contribution to the life of Kingswood and the surrounding area and he will be remembered with affection."
His remarks at a news conference on Monday implied that the Turkish government was not only complicit in the smuggling of oil produced in areas of Syria controlled by Islamic State (IS), but also so heavily committed to this trade that it was willing to provoke an international crisis to protect it.
It is doubtful whether Mr Putin genuinely believes his accusation.
However, by raising the issue of the possible dealings between Turkish government agencies and IS, he has the chance to gain propaganda points in his tussle with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and in some way legitimise recent Russian attacks on targets in parts of Syria that are held by non-IS rebel forces backed by Turkey.
These attacks included the destruction of a large bakery built by the Turkish IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, according to agency officials.
The Syrian conflict has given rise to an extensive war economy in which murky deals are struck between a host of partners, including groups that are fighting each other on the battlefield.
Smuggling of oil and petroleum products from Syria into Turkey has been going on for decades, as traders and security officials cashed in on the difference in prices created by the heavy subsidies in Syria.
With the descent into civil war the trade has evolved, and in 2014 IS took over much of the crude production and refining business along the Euphrates river valley.
This represented about one-third of Syria's pre-conflict oil capacity, with most of the remainder under Kurdish control.
There are many steps before oil produced under IS control reaches an end-user.
It is highly likely that Turkish business people, customs officials and intelligence agents are among the people implicated, but the scale of the entire trade is tiny compared with Turkey's own energy economy (in which Russia plays a dominant role), and most of the participants are within Syria.
In mid-2015, oil fields under IS control produced between 30,000 and 40,000 barrels per day, according to widely reported estimates.
The supply chain entailed IS selling crude to traders, who transported it to small refineries set up in IS-controlled areas.
The petrol and diesel produced in these refineries was then sold across Syria and Iraq, with any surplus smuggled across the border, mainly to Turkey.
The quality of the products was poor, but many buyers, particularly those in rebel-controlled areas, had little other option, and typically paid a heavy premium over international prices.
IS profited from the well-head sales, as well as from taxes along the supply chain.
The profitability of the Syrian illicit oil trade was hit by the collapse in world oil prices in October 2014.
Oil bought at the well-head for $20-25 per barrel in mid-2014 could end up in Turkey being sold at below the world market price of over $100/barrel, yielding healthy profits to everyone involved.
For a trader to make a profit selling bad quality Syrian products in Turkey now the well-head price would have to be much lower, and this would not necessarily make commercial sense for IS.
Since mid-October 2015, the IS oil business has been hit hard as US and French jets have started to attack well-head facilities and tanker trucks for the first time, and Kurdish and local Arab rebels have seized an oil field from IS in southern Hassakeh province.
Turkey relies almost entirely on imports for its total oil consumption of about 720,000 barrels per day. A large chunk of those imports come from Russia.
In 2014 Russia also supplied 27bn cubic metres of natural gas to Turkey, representing 56% of its total consumption.
Russia was Turkey's largest source of imports, supplying goods worth $25.3bn, or more than 10% of Turkey's total imports.
In this context, if oil was a consideration for the Turkish authorities in its decision to shoot down a Russian jet, it would have had good reason to hold fire.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven called early polls after losing a budget vote about three months into his term.
Under the deal, Mr Lofven will follow the opposition's budget next year, although he can make some changes.
The government failed to push through its budget when the far-right Sweden Democrats sided with the opposition.
The Sweden Democrats emerged as a power broker after September's elections. The election - called for 22 March - would have been Sweden's first early poll since 1958.
Speaking during a press conference in Stockholm on Saturday, PM Lofven said that he was pleased to have reached a deal.
"Sweden has a tradition of solving difficult problems," he told reporters.
"I am happy that... Sweden can be governed."
The deal was reached between Mr Lofven's centre-left Social Democrats and Greens Alliance, and the four-party centre-right group known as Alliance.
Mr Lofven said the document, called "The December Agreement" will remain in force until 2022.
It commits the opposition to abstain from voting against the government's budget proposals starting from April 2015 onwards.
It also co-ordinates the parties' polices on pensions, defence and energy issues.
Mr Lofven's Social Democrats formed a minority government with the Greens in September but between them they have only 138 seats in the 349-seat parliament.
The Sweden Democrats became the country's third largest party, with 13% of the vote. Their main demand has been the reversal of Sweden's liberal immigration laws.
Sweden has offered permanent residence to all Syrians fleeing the conflict and has the highest rate of asylum applications per capita of any European Union country.
The 5m (16ft) wide and 3m (10ft) deep hole has closed the northbound carriageway on the A1 near the Lobley Hill Interchange.
It was reported by Highways England to police at 23:45 BST on Saturday, Northumbria Police said.
Nobody has been hurt and the void found underneath the road was being filled, the force said.
Diversions are in place while Highways England ensures the area is safe.
The hole has been identified as being part of old shallow mine workings, it said.
Last week, Glasgow Licensing Board ruled the venue must close at midnight, effectively ending its ability to run as a nightclub until 03:00.
The decision came after persistent police complaints about drug and alcohol-related incidents.
The petition said this would endanger the city's arts scene and economy and accused the police of "harassment".
"On the 15th May 2015, Glasgow City Council revoked the nightclub licence from The Arches - one of Scotland's biggest and most successful cultural venues," the petition states.
"This has followed months of harassment of the venue by Police Scotland, regarding apparent failures to act upon instances of drug misuse in the club, as well as some alcohol-related offences.
"The Arches has attempted to address the concerns of the police on numerous occasions, but has been repeatedly threatened with the loss of its licence despite attempts to resolve the issues raised."
The petition claims the venue "makes more effort than any club in the city to keep people safe" and is also a "world-leading arts venue".
It adds: "The arts operations are largely funded by the income generated from club nights held at the venue, and this latest move by Police Scotland and the Glasgow City Council Licensing Board severely threatens a vital part of the Scottish arts ecology, and the livelihoods of the venue's many employees."
The petition calls for the re-instatement of the Arches' club licence "without delay".
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "We strive to ensure licensed premises maintain a safe environment, free from violence, disorder, drug taking and excessive levels of drunkenness, all of which can endanger people.
"Our aim is always to work closely with licence holders to uphold the law and provide a safe environment for their patrons to enjoy alcohol responsibly.
"Where breaches of licensing legislation occur we will take appropriate action and record and report this to the local licensing authority."
Last month, police made a bid to have the club closed after a woman was found unconscious and officers recorded 26 drug and alcohol-related incidents.
It was rejected after a lawyer for the Arches argued this was inappropriate.
Last year, the Arches announced it was raising its minimum age for admission to 21 after the suspected drug-related death of a teenage girl who fell ill there, but the over 18s policy was later reinstated.
Regane MacColl, 17, died after becoming ill at the club in February 2014. Police linked her death to an ecstasy-like "Mortal Kombat" tablet. | Chipotle has blamed a norovirus for making 80 Boston College students who ate at the Mexican restaurant sick.

He said his comments were not about the "whole Australian team".
Prior to the first Test, Kohli had said he was "really good friends with all these guys off the field".
But at a post match conference after India won the series on Tuesday, he said: "No, it has changed. You won't hear me say that ever again."
The Indian captain tweeted on Thursday, after his comments received widespread coverage in both Australian and Indian media.
Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer Brad Hodge has apologised for suggesting Kohli was saving himself for the "cash-rich" Twenty20 cricket.
India won the Test final against Australia without the skipper, who sustained an on-field shoulder injury.
"You would think that your captain would get out there and get amongst the fight," Hodge said in a TV interview.
The backlash threatened to eclipse his season opener for the Indian Premier League coaching the Gujarat Lions.
During the series, Kohli said Australia captain Steve Smith "crossed the line" by trying to get help from his dressing room with the decision review system.
India were thrashed by 333 runs in the opening Test, but levelled with victory in the second.
During that game, Smith was caught looking for assistance as he considered reviewing an lbw decision, which is banned. Smith described his actions as "a bit of brain-fade".
Kohli injured his shoulder as he dived to save a boundary during the drawn third Test, and Australian Glenn Maxwell was accused of mocking him later in the match.
Without Kohli, India went on to win the fourth Test, during which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) put a video on its website of a spat between all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade.
"I have sort of been very intense in my own little bubble, and at times I have let my emotions and actions just falter a little bit throughout this series and I apologise for that," said Smith.
"That's a big stride for me moving forward and something I can really learn from and continue to grow as an individual and as a leader."
Smith said he was "a bit disappointed" the BCCI had posted the video of Jadeja and Wade.
He added: "It happened between both sides throughout the series. I think usually what's said on the field stays on the field."
That it remained airborne was at least partly down to a $1bn bail-out from its home government in Quebec.
An additional $1.5bn was raised from selling a stake in Bombardier's train division.
It employs 74,000 people in 28 countries - Northern Ireland is home to around 7% or 5,500 of its staff, all working in aerospace.
A major source of trouble has been its gamble on the C-Series, a first shot at the larger passenger plane market dominated by Boeing and Airbus.
The project has cost at least $5.4bn - $2bn more than anticipated.
A three-year delay in getting the C-Series into service has damaged an order book gathering dust since September 2014.
Positive industry reaction to the aircraft's performance data appeared lost as Boeing and Airbus did discount deals to gobble up orders from airlines.
At the same time, global market conditions have wobbled Bombardier's business jet market, with demand falling in the likes of Russia and China.
Armed with a turn-around plan, but warnings of reduced profits, 2016 was billed as a year of transition.

The move will see Stormers player Kleyn link up with his former defence coach at the province, Jacques Nienaber, who has joined Munster's backroom team.
Munster's new director of rugby, South African Rassie Erasmus, said Kleyn, 22, is a "hugely exciting prospect".
"I've seen his development first hand and with Jacques' extensive knowledge of him we are all up to speed on how Jean can contribute," said Erasmus.
"A naturally athletic player we believe he will add further value to the pack and we look forward to welcoming him to Munster."
Kleyn, who is 6ft 8in, made his debut for Western Province in 2012 before beginning his Stormers career two years ago.
The lock has made 17 appearances for the Stormers in addition to playing 22 times for Western Province.
More than 25,000 received their A-level and AS-level results on Thursday.
Students in Northern Ireland have again outperformed their counterparts in England and Wales.
In the full A-level, 29.3% of students achieved A or A* grades, a drop on last year's 29.9%.
The overall pass rate in Northern Ireland this year is up by 0.1%, with 98.2% of students achieving grades A* to E.
Girls have continued to outperform boys in gaining A* grades, but the gap is closing.
The number of girls taking so-called STEM subjects - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - at A-level has seen a notable increase.
There was a significant rise of 8.6% in the number of students taking A-levels in mathematics, with 10.6% more entries from girls.
It is now the most popular subject, accounting for one in 10 A-level entries.
Biology, religious studies, history and English complete the list of the top five most popular subjects.
What if my grades are disappointing?
Expert advice on dealing with unexpected results
Justin Edwards, the chief executive of the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), the Northern Ireland awarding body, said the growth in students choosing to study mathematics was encouraging.
"Mathematics provides access to a wide range of educational pathways and careers," he said.
"While entries in this subject have grown across all three countries, in Northern Ireland that growth has been notably strong."
There are many options available for students, according to Christine Kelly of the Careers Advice Service.
"Some young people may decide university is not for them and they might want to take a gap year or defer for a year," she said.
"There are also lots of other options in further education colleges; HNCs, HNDs, foundation degrees, BTEC Nationals and apprenticeships.
"Some employers offer school leavers' programmes, so there is a multitude of options out there."
Education Minister John O'Dowd said STEM subjects were in demand by employers and he welcomed their increased uptake by female students.
"Seeing the relevance of course choices for the future is vital in keeping young people engaged and motivated to achieve," he said.
Employment and Learning Minister Stephen Farry said his department's careers service was available to offer guidance at "this milestone (that) often presents a crossroads in a young person's career development".
CCEA has set up an examinations helpline that offers advice and guidance for students who have received results.
Fergal McFerran, the president of the National Union of Students and Union of Students in Ireland, called on university tuition fees to be scrapped so more students could access higher education.
"Tuition fees can be a barrier to participation in higher education in Northern Ireland," he said.
"I believe that it is to the benefit of our society as a whole as well as to the economy here if we were to move to a fairer system, away from tuition fees."
Temporary traffic lights have been in place on the A30 in Sherborne since 3 May due to culvert drainage works.
However, Dorset County Council said an investigation found "large amounts of material have been lost from the roof of the culvert, leaving it vulnerable to collapse".
A section of the road will close at the end of the month, it added.
A spokeswoman said it was not yet clear how long the closure would be in place.
"Now that we are aware of the condition of the culvert we cannot walk away from it," she added.
The drainage works on the A30 Newell, at the junction with the B3148 Marston Road - which is a major route through the county between Shaftesbury and Yeovil in Somerset - were originally expected to be completed by 17 June.
Original stars Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner and Robert Carlyle are all returning for the new film.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Boyle confirmed that the shoot was planned for "May/June".
The film, loosely based on Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting follow-up Porno, could be released later next year.
Boyle said filming of the sequel might be as tight as the first, which was shot in less than two months.
Miller and Carlyle both star in US TV shows - CBS's Elementary and ABC's Once Upon a Time respectively.
"They only get this little window off, so either you wait for the contract to run down, which could be as late as three years, or you kind of try and do it in this window," Boyle said.
"But all four lads are back in."
The original Trainspotting was made on a shoestring budget of just £1.5m.
The sequel's budget will be bigger but still relatively modest.
"We're doing it for less than $20m, and that'll give us control of the film so we can make the film we want to make," Boyle told the Hollywood Reporter.
"That's as much as you can get without being answerable to anybody. You can sort of get on with it without much interference. Although we could have raised a lot more money for this, we didn't, so we're trying to keep some sense like we kept the original."
Boyle is hoping Film4, who produced the original, will get on board.
He admitted there were reservations among the cast about making a sequel.
"The actors were understandably worried about its reputation and not wanting to let people down or to just be cashing in," he said.
"So actually the script, which John (Hodge) has written, has been put under a very fierce spotlight by everyone, and it's a good one.
"Everyone's attitude is that it'll be an honourable addition and an interesting addition to the original film. We're very positive that we believe it can happen and it's coming true."
The 21-year Calder, who had a spell on loan to Dundee in 2015, has signed a two-year contract.
Elsdon, a fellow cap at under-17 level for England, will stay at Caledonian Stadium for an initial six months.
The 20-year-old Boro defender has yet to break into the first team with the English Championship club.
But he played three times last season for Middlesbrough Under-23s in the Football League Trophy.
Calder came through the youth ranks at Riverside Stadium but also failed to make a first-team breakthrough.
He played 11 times for Dundee in the Scottish top flight, starting three games, during his six-month spell at Dens Park.
Calder subsequently had two loan spells with Doncaster Rovers, starting 16 times and coming off the bench 16 times for the League Two outfit.
He finished last season being farmed out to Lincoln City but played only once for the National League side.
Caley Thistle manager John Robertson has now made six signings as he reshapes the squad following relegation from the Scottish Premiership under Richie Foran last season.

Matt Lockley, 28, was found not guilty of interfering with a crew member during his flight from Brisbane to Bali in April.
He had reportedly banged on the pilot's cockpit door, demanding entry. He was handcuffed and arrested on landing.
The judge found that he was suffering from a medical condition at the time.
The incident, on 25 April, caused a hijack scare after the pilot sent a distress signal to Indonesia's airport authorities.
Indonesian troops boarded the flight after it landed at Bali airport and arrested Mr Lockley.
Virgin later said the incident was "no hijacking", but a "miscommunication", and that Mr Lockley was drunk and acting aggressively.
Mr Lockley later said he had experienced a panic attack and mistook the cockpit door for a toilet.
His lawyer said he had also been anxious because he thought someone had tampered with his luggage.
Brisbane magistrate Judith Daley ruled that Mr Lockley was suffering from a medical issue, and that there was not sufficient evidence to suggest he intentionally knocked on the cockpit door.
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Lockley told reporters he was "very relieved".
"It was a big misunderstanding, I never tried to get in anywhere," he said.
Residents of Northfield Farm Road, in Edinburgh, used a ladder to rescue one man and firefighters brought another man to safety at about 03:30.
One man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment. The other was treated at the scene, along with a woman, for smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation
Station Manager Alex Hume said: "We sent three appliance from Marionville and McDonald Road.
"On arrival an adult male had been rescued from the rear, assisted by neighbours utilising a ladder.
"Fire crews utilised six breathing apparatus and a high-pressure hose reel to enter the building and extinguish the fire and check the surrounding properties in the stair.
"Two other residents also received medical treatment and oxygen for smoke inhalation, and one adult male was removed to Edinburgh Royal for further treatment."
The top court gave few details in its announcement, but said the centre would help China become a "maritime power".
Beijing is locked in disputes with its neighbours over claims in the resource-rich South China Sea, with tensions raised in recent months over China's aggressive land reclamation.
It has also squared off with Japan over the Diaoyu or Senkaku islands.
What is the South China Sea dispute?
The China-Japan islands row
Flying close to China's new islands
Why are Chinese fishermen destroying reefs?
The announcement of the new centre came from Chief Justice Zhou Qiang on Sunday during the ongoing annual meeting of China's parliament.
"(We) must resolutely safeguard China's national sovereignty, maritime rights and other core interests," he said, without giving further details on the centre and how it would work.
However the authority of any such centre is unlikely to be recognised by the many neighbours with whom China has territorial disputes.
China claims a large swathe of the South and East China Sea, creating multiple overlaps with areas claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan.
The Philippines currently has a case lodged against China at the UN's Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague.
It says the "nine-dash line", which China uses to demarcate its claims, is unlawful under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which both countries have signed.
Beijing has refused to participate in the tribunal, saying the court has no power to rule on the matter.
Tensions have increased as China continues to build artificial islands, airport runways and facilities on disputed reefs, prompting calls from the US for a halt in such activities.
Opponents have accused Beijing of militarisation but China says such construction is within its rights and any building is for civilian purposes.
The intruder stole cash, car keys and other property from the house in Sydney on Sunday afternoon.
The homeowner, a 68-year-old man, used a compound bow to challenge the thief as he tried to steal a car.
The robber fled the vehicle and jumped a fence but was shot in the backside as he ran to a parked getaway car.
He managed to use the vehicle to escape. It was not immediately clear from reports how serious his injuries were.
Police forensic officers will examine the scene at Wattle Grove, in the city's southwest.
The bow and arrow were seized as evidence.
Australian laws do not always favour the homeowner when an intruder is injured or killed, taking into account whether a person acted in self-defence or used "excessive force".
Compound bows are not banned in New South Wales and do not require a licence or permit.
Officers said 84 incidents of rape or attempted rape were reported from April 2014, compared to 35 the previous year.
Posters offering support to victims have been released urging more men to come forward in a new campaign led by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and abuse charity, Survivors Manchester.
A police spokesman said they believed a large number of crimes go "unreported".
Sexual assault reports have also risen from 69 to 93 over the same period.
Duncan Craig, from the charity, said: "We need to work together to break the silence that surrounds the rape and sexual assault of men, so those affected can get the support they deserve."
The posters feature "real men rather than models" after an online appeal for volunteers, he added.
Prime minister and Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras stood down on Thursday, paving the way for new elections.
The move came after he lost the support of many of his own MPs in a vote on the country's new bailout with European creditors earlier this month.
Greek media reports say 25 rebel Syriza MPs will join the new party, called Leiki Anotita (Popular Unity).
The party will be led by former energy minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, who was strongly opposed to the bailout deal, reports say.
A list of MPs joining the party published by the Ta Nea newspaper showed that the parliamentary speaker Zoe Konstantopulou and former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis were not among its members.
Both had opposed a new bailout deal, with Ms Konstantopulou highly critical of her former ally Mr Tsipras.
Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital said eight-month-old Charlie Gard has irreversible brain damage and should be moved to palliative care.
His parents Connie Yates and Chris Gard, from London, had wanted to take him to the US for a treatment trial.
They said they were "devastated" by the decision but intended to appeal.
Their solicitor, Laura Hobey-Hamsher, said they could not understand why Mr Justice Francis had not "at least given Charlie the chance of treatment".
She said the couple would take further advice on challenging the ruling once their legal team had studied it.
They have three weeks to lodge an appeal.
Hospital bosses said they would continue to provide life-support treatment until a decision about an appeal had been made.
In his judgement, Mr Justice Francis said he made the decision with the "heaviest of hearts" but with "complete conviction" that it was in the best interests of the child.
He paid tribute to Charlie's parents for "their brave and dignified campaign on his behalf" and "their absolute dedication to their wonderful boy, from the day that he was born".
The judge, who had visited Charlie in hospital, added: "I know this is the darkest day for Charlie's parents...my heart goes out to them.
"I only hope in time they will come to accept it is in Charlie's best interests to let him slip away peacefully, and not put him through more pain and suffering."
Charlie, who was born on 4 August, has a disorder called mitochondrial depletion syndrome, a rare disease which affects the genetic building blocks that give energy to cells.
It causes progressive muscle weakness and brain damage.
His parents, of Bedfont, west London, had told the Family Division of the High Court they wanted to give their baby "one chance of life".
In their bid to fund the treatment abroad they set up a crowdfunding campaign which has raised in excess of £1.25m from more than 80,000 donors.
A GoFundMe spokesman said it will "be speaking privately to the family" about what would happen to the money raised.
Mr Gard was "shaking and visibly very upset" as he waited for the judgment, BBC News correspondent Helena Lee, who was in court, said.
When the judge ruled the treatment could be withdrawn, he shouted out "no".
Both he and Ms Yates broke down in tears and buried their heads in their hands.
They left the court building without listening to the judge's full reasoning behind his judgement.
During five days of evidence, Mr Justice Francis heard competing arguments over what should happen to Charlie.
Debra Powell QC, representing hospital bosses, had told the court a number of "world-renowned" experts agreed the child should not be given long-term life support as his "quality of life" is "so poor".
Barrister Victoria Butler-Cole, who was appointed to represent the eight month old, said proposed treatment in the US was "purely experimental" and continuing his life support would only "prolong the process of dying".
But the parents' barrister, Sophia Roper, argued Charlie would not suffer significant harm if he was taken to the United States and should be given a chance to improve.
She also claimed his parents' wishes should carry "great weight".

A statement from Great Ormond Street Hospital, released after the ruling, said its doctors had sought "multiple external opinions as to whether therapy could improve Charlie's chance of survival or quality of life" but "the consensus... was that it would not".
"Our focus now is to work with Charlie's family to plan for the next stages in Charlie's care," it said.
"Within the context of the state of emergency, this education institution has been closed and its property has been given over to the treasury," it reads.
Above the signature is the red seal of a notary. Run by or close to the Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, it is one of the almost 1700 schools closed down in the past fortnight, now labelled a breeding ground for terrorism.
From education to the military, judiciary to NGOs, police to private businesses, the post-coup purge has been staggering.
Among the media, 131 outlets will be closed. In the military, 1,700 officers have been discharged, including almost half of Turkey's admirals and generals.
Nearly 16,000 people have been detained. Even some 250 cabin crew at Turkish Airlines have been dismissed: all suspected backers of the coup or of Fethullah Gulen.
The scale of the clampdown has drawn criticism from Western governments.
But to grasp what is happening requires an understanding of the Gulen movement: a man whose followers have spread through Turkey's institutions for the past four decades.
Fethullah Gulen emerged in the 1960s as an Islamic preacher within a constitutionally secular Turkey.
His advocates call him a guru of moderate Islam tinged with humanitarianism, delivering his ideology through a network of high-achieving schools in Turkey and about 140 countries.
Critics say he has built a dangerous cult that has infiltrated all corners of the Turkish state - a fifth column that has shown its true colours in this latest coup attempt.
Members of his movement were embedded until recently within virtually every institution.
A leaked diplomatic cable from the US ambassador to Turkey in 2009 read: "The assertion that the [National Police] is controlled by Gulenists is impossible to confirm but we have found no one who disputes it."
A grainy video of the cleric emerged in 1999 apparently calling on his followers to "move within the arteries of the system, without anyone noticing your existence, until you reach all the power centres… You must wait until such time as you have got all the state power".
Mr Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in the US since 1999, says his words were manipulated.
Some of those who have reported on the shadowy network over the years have faced lawsuits, such as the journalist Ismail Saymaz.
"The Gulen structure aims to surround the state from within and take over", he tells me.
"They're not armed militants but cloak themselves as judges, teachers, police, MPs and businessmen.
"Right-wing governments have used the Gulenists against the secular military - the movement got its biggest power during Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule."
The Erdogan-Gulen alliance was indeed strong: an Islamist pair reshaping a once fiercely secular Turkey.
But as Mr Erdogan's conservative AK Party became entrenched in power, rivalry grew.
When a series of leaked phone calls in 2013 appeared to implicate Mr Erdogan and his inner circle in corruption, the Gulenists were blamed.
They were painted as a "parallel state", who had also struck years earlier, when the movement was widely believed to have fabricated evidence in the so-called "Ergenekon" and "Sledgehammer" cases: two sham trials accusing hundreds of military officers of plotting a coup.
The convictions were eventually overturned.
Naval captain Ali Yasin Turker was among those sentenced during Sledgehammer.
He spent 33 months in prison before the conviction was crushed.
"The media close to Fethullah Gulen carried out an operation against us, violating our right to a free trial", he says.
"His followers were in the police and judiciary but they didn't have enough in the military so they were trying to replace us with their own."
So did the military purge during Ergenekon and Sledgehammer pave the way for this latest coup?
"Certainly. If they hadn't been able to get rid of us then and put their own followers in the military, they wouldn't have been able even to think about a coup, let alone carry it out."
Many of the so-called Gulenists left Turkey in recent days or weeks, fearful that they would be arrested.
We tracked down Abdullah Bozkurt, a former journalist from Zaman, once Turkey's most-read newspaper and the biggest Gulen media outlet.
He moved abroad this week and denounces a "witch-hunt targeting every critical, dissenting and opposition journalist - whether thought to be affiliated with Gulen or not".
"How could you plot a coup through a media organisation?" he asks.
"This is collective punishment without any evidence. The government is simply killing alternative narratives and intimidating people not to ask serious questions."
I ask what it means to be a follower of Gulen.
"It's an intercultural, interfaith dialogue. I don't believe this is the infiltration of Turkey. Where do you expect students from his schools and universities to go? They needed to find jobs in the public and private sector."
And what of allegations that the movement is a sect, a sort of Turkish Opus Dei?
"I don't believe in that nonsense", he says.
"You hear all sorts of rhetoric from the government blaming the Vatican or America or other conspiracy theories. They have a track record of shifting responsibility. The Gulen movement is a perfect scapegoat."
Opposition to the attempted coup has united Turks - but punishment or purge is uprooting almost every part of society.
President Erdogan appears vindicated in his constant talk over the years of an "enemy within". But criticism still continues that the clampdown is going too far.
The Turkish government is demanding Fethullah Gulen's extradition from the US - but Washington says it's still waiting for evidence that he's involved.
He and his supporters say there is none, insisting they are a peaceful interfaith movement.
But the attempted coup has largely turned Turkish society against them and the calls are loud to flush out the Gulen influence once and for all.
The Oil and Gas UK Business Outlook warns of a major drop-off in production from 2020 without the investment.
It also forecasts a further fall in total capital investment for the next two years.
However, Oil and Gas UK said there were some signs of optimism as efficiencies push down the cost of producing oil.
'Kept under control'
Chief executive Deirdre Michie said: "Confidence is slowly returning to the basin.
"The revival is led chiefly by exploration and production companies which may collectively see a return to positive cash-flow for the first time since 2013, provided costs are kept under control and commodity prices hold.
"However, this is unlikely to translate immediately into reinvestment or increased activity.
"The challenges for the basin ahead, particularly for companies in the supply chain, are still considerable."
The Business Outlook replaces the annual Activity Survey which provided an assessment of the state of the industry from some of its key players.
It reveals that the average cost of producing a barrel of oil has halved from its highest level in 2014 to $15.30.
Much of that cost reduction has come through job losses.
Investment, against 2014 levels, has almost halved and exploration activity "remained depressed" with just 22 wells drilled in 2016.
More positively, exploration and production companies are expected to return to profitable cash-flow as long as the oil price remains at about $55 per barrel.
But there is a risk that the supply chain will come under further pressure unless new projects are sanctioned on time.
The report said the oil and gas industry still supports 330,000 job across the UK but that number has not been revised as part of the business outlook.
But despite "remarkable" improvements, Gary Doherty said the NHS in north Wales was "not where it should be".
The Betsi Cadwaladr chief executive said performance in some areas remained unacceptable.
It was put under Welsh Government supervision two years ago over serious concerns about patient care.
Health Secretary Vaughan Gething published a series of milestones which need to meet by November to be considered to be taken out of special measures.
Mr Doherty, who took over in February 2016, said the health board had made "progress in every single area," suggesting it was on course to meet its deadline.
"My judgement is we've made progress I wanted us to make and we needed to make," he said.
A final decision will be made jointly by senior Welsh Government officials, the Wales Audit Office and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales.
Mr Doherty in particular praised:
The health board is also implementing a plan to centralise complex vascular surgery on the Glan Clwyd Hospital site.
It is still committed to providing most services at each of its three main hospitals, while drawing up plans to deliver "sustainable services" in acute and emergency care, as well as emergency surgery.
However, the health board's most recent performance report showed it ranked worst in Wales on patients spending longer than 12 hours and the numbers of patients waiting more than nine months for planned treatment.
On Wednesday, we reported that Mr Doherty believed there was still a "very big gap" in terms of meeting expectations in mental health care, although a new mental health strategy has recently been published.
This is set against the scandal involving care of dementia patients on the now-closed Tawel Fan ward at Glan Clwyd Hospital.
WHAT NEEDS TO IMPROVE?
One of the reasons Betsi was put into special measures was the perception it had lost the trust of patients and was not listening sufficiently to the public's views. The health board has since been involved in a series of consultation events in communities.
Dr Chris Stockport, a Prestatyn GP and area medical director, believes being put in special measures forced those working in the health service to "be brave" and think of new ways of doing things.
"The degree of scrutiny on the health board has undoubtedly been uncomfortable," he said.
"But it's undoubtedly been necessary and has allowed people to make some fairly brave decisions which perhaps historically we may not have made - myself included."
Mr Doherty said special measures had been a "catalyst for change" and the health board was "moving on to where we want to get to".
George Kerevan posted a message on Twitter during a Commons speech by Mr Benn's son, Hilary, where he spoke passionately in favour of airstrikes.
Alex Salmond later said in a radio interview that Mr Benn would be "birling in his grave" at the speech.
Tony Benn's granddaughter Emily said the comments were "deeply offensive" and "simply not true".
In messages posted on Twitter, the Labour councillor asked both men to retract their statements.
Fellow SNP MP Stewart McDonald said it was "repulsive" for anyone to use the phrase "spinning in his grave".
A number of tweeters used the words following Mr Benn's Commons address, before Mr Salmond used a version of it in an interview with LBC.
The shadow foreign secretary was given a standing ovation from parts of the Conservative and Labour benches after delivering a 14-minute long speech backing military intervention.
The speech and the applause which followed drew criticism from a number of SNP MPs.
East Lothian representative George Kerevan posted: "Benn summing up for Labour but voting with Tories. Benn's father must be turning in his grave."
Emily Benn, Tony Benn's granddaughter and Hilary's niece, posted a reply to Mr Kerevan, saying: "Your last sentence is deeply offensive and simply not true. I hope you examine your conscience and retract it."
Although Mr Kerevan did not reply to Ms Benn, he did later note that Mr Benn had made "a great speech", adding: "Bet on Benn as a replacement for Corbyn."
Ms Benn directed a similar message at Mr Salmond following his interview.
Glasgow South MP Mr McDonald posted on Twitter: "I voted differently to Hilary Benn. Using his father's death to make a political point - 'spinning in his grave' - is repulsive."
He also said: "Hilary Benn and I disagree, but he gave a respectful and powerful case for what he believes in."
The government motion to approve airstrikes in Syria was approved by 397 votes to 223. All SNP MPs voted against the motion, while Labour was split on the issue.
Although Tony Benn spoke strongly against military intervention in the Commons on a number of occasions, he served in the Home Guard during World War Two and later enlisted in the Royal Air Force, where his father and brother also served.
He was reportedly seized in an early morning raid on his home in the village of Bani Jamra, near the capital Manama.
It was not immediately clear why the 51-year-old was being detained. State media have not yet reported the arrest.
Mr Rajab, who founded the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, has served several prison sentences since helping lead a pro-democracy uprising in 2011.
He was released from jail last July after being pardoned by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for health reasons, two months after an appeal court upheld a six-month sentence for "offending national institutions" in comments on social media.
On the day of his release, Mr Rajab was issued a new travel ban based on two outstanding charges, which prosecutors have not dropped.
He is accused of "insulting a statutory body" in comments about the alleged torture of detainees at Jaw prison, and "disseminating false rumours in times of war", based on criticism of air strikes in Yemen by a Saudi-led coalition including Bahrain.
Brian Dooley, director of the US-based group Human Rights First, told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Rajab's reported arrest was a "forceful, frightening message from the Bahraini government that it's moving against even activists with strong international connections".
It comes a week after another prominent activist fled to Denmark after reportedly being threatened with being imprisoned again.
Zainab al-Khawaja, who has both Bahraini and Danish citizenship, was released along with her infant son from jail last month on "humanitarian grounds".
She had been serving a sentence of three years and a month that she received after being convicted of charges including tearing up a picture of the king.
Also last month, a court in Bahrain more than doubled the prison sentence handed to opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman for allegedly inciting violence.
Bahrain has been racked by unrest since February 2011, when demonstrators occupied Manama's Pearl Roundabout, demanding more democracy and an end to discrimination against the majority Shia Muslim community by the Sunni Muslim royal family.
The protesters were driven out by security forces in March 2011, after the king 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. Almost 3,000 people were also arrested, and scores were handed long prison terms by military courts.
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.
Scott Wilson spurned an early chance for the hosts as he struck wide when well placed but the Imps grew into the contest and efforts from Luke Waterfall and Nathan Arnold produced smart saves from Eastleigh goalkeeper Graham Stack.
Wilson wasted another gilt-edged opportunity after heading over from close range while the striker was then denied by Lincoln shot-stopper Paul Farman, who then kept out Matt Tubbs' bundled effort.
Those saves proved crucial as Raggett's header in the 77th minute looped over Stack and into the net to give Lincoln a third successive league win and one that keeps them above Tranmere on goal difference.

South Korean authorities have been criticised over their response to the outbreak after one infected person went to play golf and another flew to China.
More than 1,600 people have now been quarantined, according to officials.
The outbreak is the largest outside the Middle East, where the disease first appeared in Saudi Arabia in 2012.
Five more cases were confirmed on Thursday, the South Korean health ministry said, bringing the total number of known infections in the country to 35.
The latest victim died in hospital after contracting the virus from another patient in the same room.
About 160 of those quarantined have been isolated at state medical facilities but most have been instructed to stay at home and strictly limit contact with other people.
The outbreak in South Korea is still confined to those with a link to the initial sufferer, but authorities are struggling to contain growing public anxiety.
In Seoul the number of people wearing face masks on public transport and in crowded places has increased.
And the Korea Tourism Organisation said on Thursday that about 7,000 tourists - mostly from China and Taiwan - had cancelled planned group trips to South Korea.
"A mass cancellation of this scale is very unusual... and many travellers cited the Mers outbreak as the main reason," a spokesman told the AFP news agency.
The first case in this outbreak - "patient zero" - was a 68-year-old man who was diagnosed after returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia. He is still in hospital.
Mers - which stands for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome - can cause fever, breathing problems, pneumonia and kidney failure.
Experts believe it is not very contagious. Tan Wenjie, director of the virus department at the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, said Mers could only spread "via close contact in a confined space".
"And no evidence proves that it can spread through air, so people need not to feel panic," he added.
There have been 1,167 cases of Mers worldwide, of which 479 have resulted in death, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Nurses at a hospital in China reportedly drew lots to determine who should treat the country's first case of Mers.
The virus has a death rate of 27%, according to the World Health Organization.
The 48-year-old is currently in charge of the Sevens squad and will now also lead the XVs in a new role which combines both duties.
Middleton will start in May after the Sevens World Series.
"I am coming into this role when women's rugby is in a great place. It is a really exciting time to be involved," said Middleton.
"For me personally, this is a fantastic opportunity and a challenge I am really looking forward to."
His new contract runs until 2017.
England won the World Cup by defeating Canada last August but several of the players in that squad have since retired from international rugby.
The Rugby Football Union parted company with Gary Street, who led the team to the World Cup, just before the start of the Six Nations.
Nicky Ponsford, head of women's performance, took over, along with Street's assistant coach Graham Smith.
England lost to Wales but beat Italy in their two Six Nations games so far.
They travel to Ireland for their next fixture on Friday (19:30 GMT).
The 35m (115ft) tall turbine hall at Kingsnorth Power Station once housed a boiler and four turbo-generators.
Many of the smaller buildings on the site have already been destroyed. The 198m (650ft) tall chimney is due to be demolished in 2017.
The power station on the Hoo peninsular was closed in 2013 after failing to meet EU emissions standards.
More than 2,000 tonnes of steel have been razed to the ground in the latest demolition, owner E.ON said.
Mike Cooper, head of demolition at E.ON said: "After the site has been completely flattened and levelled, we'll probably hang on to it.
"It was recognised as a good site for a generation station in the past, and it has a future for new technologies."
Kingsnorth Power Station was commissioned in 1970 with electricity production ending in March 2013.
In 2008 protesters gathered at the plant to campaign against E.ON's plans to build two new coal-fired units on the site.
The company announced in 2010 that it was withdrawing its plans for the new units.
The power station, which had not been adapted to meet emissions targets, ran out of its allocated operating hours under EU environmental laws.
Under the EU's Large Combustion Plant Directive, power stations not adapted to meet emission-reduction targets must close after generating for 20,000 hours or by the end of 2015.
The Bevan Foundation claimed policies aimed at combating poverty in Wales were not working.
It said it was "disappointing" nearly a quarter of people were in poverty, as in 2006-7.
The Welsh Government said it was "working hard" to increase prosperity and take people out of poverty.
The number of children living in poverty has fallen from 33% to 29% since 2012, but pensioners in poverty has risen from 14% to 17% since 2013.
For its report, the foundation took its definition of poverty as those living with a household income of less than 60% of the median (middle) figure.
UK government figures for 2014-15 showed about 23% of people in Wales were living in poverty.
"The latest figures are very disappointing", said the foundation's director, Dr Victoria Winckler.
"That around 700,000 people - many of them in work - are struggling to make ends meet suggests that UK and Welsh Government policies aren't working.
"Even worse, reducing poverty seems to have fallen off the current Welsh Government's agenda, with few references to it in Welsh Labour's [assembly election] manifesto and the post of tackling poverty minister disappearing."
Dr Winckler said using devolved benefits well could make a difference to people's lives and strengthen the economy.
"We think there's scope to devolve some welfare benefits and bring those in-house where they're a good fit with Welsh Government policies," she told BBC Wales.
"So housing benefit we think could make a real difference. There's £1bn coming into Wales and going straight into landlords' pockets.
"If that money was used differently and better, we could be building more houses and people could have more affordable and secure homes."
Dr Wincker believes benefits for young people could be devolved too "so they're not being forced into low paid, low skilled work before they know what they want to do with their lives".
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Wales has the fastest growing rate of employment in the UK along with the sharpest declining rate of unemployment over the last 12 months.
"We are working hard to identify ways we can increase prosperity for people in Wales and help people out of poverty.
"Job creation, closing the education attainment gap and improving skill levels are top priorities for this government and represent the most effective levers at our disposal to tackle poverty in Wales."
Plaid Cymru spokesman Steffan Lewis said the report "casts a damning judgement" on Welsh Labour's "abject failure" to tackle poverty.
But he called for a transfer of social security powers from Westminster to Wales, claiming "our most vulnerable people are exposed to policies designed to benefit the London City square mile at everyone else's expense".
Currently 101 million people require care, but a report from Alzheimer's Disease International warns the figure will rise to to 277 million.
Many needing care have dementia, and the report warns there will be a "global Alzheimer's epidemic".
The report's author said countries like India and China would be hard hit - and must start planning services now.
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. Symptoms include loss of memory, mood changes, and problems with communicating and reasoning.
More than 35 million people live with dementia across the world, according to the World Health Organization. More than half are living in low and middle income countries.
The report reveals that as the world population ages, the traditional system of informal care by family, friends and the community will need much greater support.
Just over one in 10 people aged 60 or over needs long-term care, according to the report. This includes daily help with things like washing, eating, dressing and using the toilet.
It can put huge pressure on families. Carers often have to give up work to look after elderly relatives.
Treating and caring for people with dementia currently costs the world more than £376bn per year. That includes the cost of health and social care as well as the loss of earnings.
Prof Martin Prince, from King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, the author of the report, said lower and middle income countries including India and China need to urgently start planning services to deal with the "epidemic".
"The social and economic changes happening in those countries are inevitably going to mean that family carers will be less available.
"Things like the decline in fertility rates mean people are going to have fewer children.
"Women are also better educated so are more likely to join the paid workforce and are going to be less likely to be available to provide care."
And he said an increase in migration between countries, and from rural to urban areas amongst younger people meant there would be a lot of older people "left behind".
The report makes a range of recommendations including giving paid and unpaid carers "appropriate financial rewards" and monitoring the quality of care both in care homes and in the community.
A spokesperson for the Alzheimer's Society in the UK said: "Dementia is the biggest health crisis facing the world today.
"This report is a wake-up call to governments across the world about the immediate need to put in place more care and support.
"The UK government's G8 summit on dementia this year will be a key opportunity to rally support from world leaders to tackle dementia together. We need to see political leadership to avoid a spiralling global crisis," the spokesperson added.
The B-1B Lancers took part in joint military drills with Japan in the East China Sea, the US Air Force said in a statement.
They then flew over the highly contentious South China Sea.
On Tuesday, North Korea test-fired a long-range missile some believe could reach Alaska, sparking concerns over its weapons capabilities.
A statement by the US Pacific Air Forces said the flights with Japan "demonstrate the solidarity between Japan and the US to defend against provocative and destabilising actions in the Pacific theatre".
Tuesday's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by North Korea sparked a warning from the US that it would use military force "if we must".
The US has been firing missiles into South Korean waters in joint ballistic missile drills in response to the missile test.
Japan, which sent two F-15s for the joint drill, also has competing claims with China in the East China Sea.
After the joint flypast, which took place at night, the two bombers headed to the South China Sea to "exercise the rights of freedom of navigation", said the US statement.
They then returned to the US airbase in Guam.
China claims sovereignty over almost all of the South China Sea, which the US has challenged.
Last weekend a US warship sailed near one island sparking an angry response from Beijing.
During a fiery appearance on Charlie Sloth's 1Xtra show, Chipmunk questioned Tinie's commitment to the grime industry and helping out new artists.
"How can you be the MC for the country?" he said.
The pair used to be good friends, collaborating on a number of tracks together, but that relationship has clearly soured.
In between freestyles, Chipmunk let rip at Tinie, claiming his old mate should show more 'respect' to MCs who aren't signed to a record label.
He told Charlie Sloth: "A year ago I heard Tinie's Fire in the Booth and you know what it broke my heart," he said.
"A man [Tinie] said: 'moment of silence for every rapper out of a deal.'
"So you tell me, when there's a moment of silence what does that mean? It means somebody's death. So all you rappers out of deals are dead? A man [Tinie] said this with his own mouth, there's no denying that.
"I'm not gonna bite that bait. But that is rude and it's disrespectful. 95% of the rappers that you press play for Charlie are not signed.
"These are men that were like me at the time, grabbing a pen and paper.
"We feel like this is the only way out of the type of environments that we grew up in, where people are getting stabbed and dying and all kinds of madness.
"He thinks you lot are dead. It breaks my heart."
Chip was still studying for his A-levels when he released his debut album, I Am Chipmunk, and established himself as one of Britain's biggest grime stars.
He's spoken often of his passion for getting all young people access to a good education.
But the Londoner thinks Tinie should be using his own celebrity status to better effect.
The Pass Out singer has his own fashion label and is a regular on the front row of catwalks around the world.
His growing profile has also seen him invited to 10 Downing Street for the London Collections for Men fashion party.
"You've got a platform, so use it in the right way," Chipmunk said.
"You're supposed to be a voice. I come from the government education system with four Bs and five As.
"There are things happening in our community that are hurting people. You see if I get to 10 Downing Street, I'm not going to take a picture. Is that hip-hop? Is that grime? Is that urban?"
The rapper's rant has caused a big reaction on Twitter, with #tinie and #chip trending for the last 24 hours.
Fans though are pretty split over who's side to take.
Chipmunk, who has a song called Pizza Boy, finished with a pop at Tinie's appearance on Fire In The Booth last year.
"Man [Tinie] said: 'I left the pizza boys that thought I won't deliver again. You say you're going to be around. We'll see who is in the end.'
"So let me show you how we decipher bars. Who else in England has a song called Pizza Boy?
"Don't put it past me being at those red carpets. I'm back now. I'll be there. I'll see you at that fashion show saying 'Tinie you got bars today or not? No, that's what you're not good at right?'
"Come here Rude Boy, I'll show you about all that on the microphone. Chipmunk don't answer to no one. Let that be a warning. don't play with me."

The imagery included by Indonesian Muslim Ardian Syaf, a freelance contributor to Marvel, was called "bigoted" and he was accused of "spreading hatred" by social media users. Some even saw anti-Semitic sentiment in his artwork.
The first issue of Marvel's latest X-Men Gold series was released in early April. The entertainment giant has since said it will take the offending references out of subsequent print editions, as well as take disciplinary action.
The artist has also spoken to Indonesian media following the controversy, saying while he was expressing a political view, he was not trying to spread hate.
Mr Syaf was able to get two politically-charged references into the comic.
The first reference was spotted on metallic Russian mutant Colossus, who wears an innocent-looking T-shirt during a baseball game.
The shirt has the words 'QS 5:51' on it - a reference to a passage in the Koran interpreted by some to mean that Muslims should not appoint Jews and Christians as their leader.
The number 51 also appeared elsewhere throughout the issue, further referencing the passage.
The reason this is controversial is because it is widely seen as a reference to the case against the governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, widely known as Ahok.
Mr Purnama - a Christian of Chinese descent - is currently on trial for blasphemy.
He angered many hard-line Muslims after he referenced the passage while campaigning last year. The prosecution says he insulted Islam. Mr Purnama insists his comments were aimed at politicians "incorrectly" using the Koranic verse to make a case against his re-election.
If convicted, he faces a maximum five-year jail sentence.
The second reference came in a panel scene involving mutant and X-Men leader Kitty Pryde, who was seen addressing a crowd on the street.
The number "212" is written on a wall in this scene. Many readers noted its significance - the largest-ever street protest organised by hard-line Muslim demonstrators against Mr Purnama took place on 2 December (2-12) 2016. Mr Syaf had previously said that he participated in this rally.
Marvel has since distanced itself from Mr Syaf's work and issued the following statement.
"The mentioned artwork was inserted without knowledge behind its reported meanings. These implied references do not reflect the views of the writer, editors or anyone else at Marvel and are in direct opposition of the inclusiveness of Marvel Comics and what the X-Men have stood for since their creation."
The X-Men are mutants who tackle bigotry as they fight for equality and peace with humans.
Illustrator Gary Choo, who has previously worked on Marvel artwork and covers, says sneaking political opinions and ideals into comics isn't something new.
"Politics should continue to find its way into comic books," he told the BBC. "But for what Marvel represents, this episode definitely did not fit into Marvel's storytelling."
Mr Syaf has been responding to the outcry on his personal Facebook page saying those who were angry "did not know him".
"My career is over now. It's the consequence [of] what I did. Please, no more mockery, debate, no more hate. My apologies for all the noise. Good bye. May God bless you all," he said on Tuesday.
But that has not stopped angry reaction from Marvel fans and readers.
"No one needs to "know you" to understand what you did," wrote Andy Apsay on Facebook. "It was blatant and intentional. Swallow your pride. You are not bigger than Marvel."
Others like Gusti Made Sumariana said the artist was "spreading hatred towards Christians and Jews" with his work.
"Keep your bigotry out of the X-Men," wrote another Facebook user.
But the reaction has spiralled into a heated debate on the social media site, with supporters of Mr Syaf coming to his defence.
"People are free to react how they may. Artists are free to express what they do," wrote one user in Indonesian on Facebook.
The Swiss outfit said they did not have a car update at the Spanish Grand Prix - which precedes the test - nor a young driver who meets the requirements.
Teams must use a driver who has raced in no more than two grands prix in two of the four days of in-season testing.
Sauber have lost two senior technicians since March and have admitted salaries have been paid late twice this year.
The team lost technical director Mark Smith in March and head of track engineering Tim Malyon in April.
Both had been in their jobs only for a matter of months and statements from Sauber cited personal reasons for their departure.
Last month, Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn denied speculation within F1 that the outfit might not make it to the end of the season.
At the Russian Grand Prix last weekend, sporting director Beat Zehnder admitted Sauber faced a "really difficult time" as a result of the costs inherent in designing a new car to meet major rule changes for 2017.
"The financial impact is a massive one and for a small team like Sauber it's really difficult," Zehnder said.
"It's not only the cars and not being able to carry over parts from one year to the other, it's the list of investments you have to make.
"We're talking about millions and millions here, so for a smaller team it's really a difficult time."
The visitors took the lead with only their third away goal of the season, courtesy of Tom Lawrence's solo effort.
But the Owls drew level when goalkeeper Bartosz Białkowski spilled a shot and striker Gary Hooper pounced.
Neither side threatened in a drab second half before Chambers nodded in the winner from a corner on 86 minutes.
Ipswich had failed to score in eight of their last 12 away league games and won only once in eight.
And manager McCarthy had come under fire from some of their supporters in their 2-2 draw with Rotherham last weekend.
But Town fans had something to cheer when Lawrence dispossessed Jack Hunt and fired a low shot into the bottom corner to give them the lead.
Their joy was short-lived, however, as Hooper was the first to react when Bialkowski failed to hold on to David Jones' shot.
Wednesday went into the game having won 11 of their 18 home league games in 2016, but created few other clear-cut chances and were punished late on by Town skipper Chambers.
Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal: "I must accept that we didn't perform at our level and I hope that will be an exception.
"We were lacking energy and hit a wall. We must be more dynamic and have a different attitude.
"They were very compact and, to open up this kind of team, we need to move the ball very well and create spaces.
"We didn't pose a real threat to the opponents, but we didn't deserve to lose the game. We didn't deserve to win, either."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "I'm very, very pleased, of course, with the performance and happier with the result. I thought we were excellent.
"As the game went on, we caught them on the break a number of times and didn't really make enough of it until we got the winner.
"I had no worry about my ability or my confidence in the players and they've backed that up today with a really good performance.
"That performance and result today reflects my time at Ipswich. That is more like my team and how I have been."

While many newspapers have suggested the animal may be a large domestic cat a couple who photographed it remain convinced it was not a household pet.
The sighting is not the first time members of the public have claimed to have spotted an exotic animal in Britain.
Stories of big cats go back to the 1960s and 70s when it was legal and fashionable to keep exotic animals as pets.
The wealthy could take their lion, tiger or cheetah for a walk around the park without needing a licence.
But in 1976 the government introduced the Dangerous Wild Animals Act to protect the public and animals.
While many owners gave their pets to zoos or put them down rumours started that some people released their animals into the wild where their offspring still roam to this day.
In the mid 1990s photos and video emerged of a large panther-like animal in Cornwall.
Dubbed "the beast of Bodmin" it has been spotted on and off for 20 years.
In 1995 a 14-year-old boy found a leopard skull in a river in Bodmin perhaps lending weight to the beast's existence and its demise.
But scientists at the Natural History Museum found an insect egg case inside the skull which they said proved the animal had not died on the moors.
The skull was thought to have come from the tropics or been stored in a warm warehouse where tropical cockroaches can be found.
The researchers also found cut marks on the back of the skull which showed it had come from a rug or wall trophy suggesting it had probably been dropped into the river by hoaxers.
But sightings and evidence of big cats are not always a hoax.
In Wales there have been a number of reports of big cats sighted in rural areas close to the scene of animal attacks on sheep.
Dogs or foxes may be behind the attacks but some remain convinced the hunter involved is feline in origin.
In February DNA tests on two roe deer discovered dead in Gloucestershire found only saliva relating to foxes.
Last year it was not other animals but a stuffed toy that was behind a big cat sighting.
A life-size toy tiger sparked a major operation involving armed officers and a force helicopter in Southampton.
While no evidence has been found of the Essex lion public fascination with big cats in Britain looks set to continue.
Sampson was absolved of wrongdoing after striker Eniola Aluko made a complaint to the Football Association (FA) about "bullying and harassment".
She claimed Sampson said an unnamed player would have been arrested several times because she was of mixed race.
But the FA said an independent report found no evidence to support that.
On Thursday, the governing body published a summary of the report's findings - in the form of a letter to Chelsea player Aluko - written by the barrister who conducted the review.
Katharine Newton wrote that she was "sure", having seen video evidence of the team meeting at which Aluko claimed the alleged racial abuse took place, that "at no point on that video is the alleged comment made".
Newton's letter to Aluko also states that:
Media playback is not supported on this device
Allegations made by Aluko include her being described as "lazy", Sampson belittling her in front of the squad, and what she said are "false claims" by the coach of "bad behaviour".
In a statement released by the FA on Thursday, 34-year-old Sampson said he "fully understood and welcomed the need for an internal review".
He added: "It's incredibly important that matters like this are taken extremely seriously and investigated in the right way - with the right level of sensitivity and support for all involved.
"The barrister's final report said there was no case to answer and noted that my approach to all players is the same regardless of their background.
"I also appreciated that the report highlighted areas where I could improve my general communication style, and that is something I have taken on board and looked to improve."
Aluko, who has scored 33 goals in 102 England appearances, received about £80,000 in a settlement with the FA.
The governing body described it as "a mutual resolution" to avoid disrupting the England squad's preparations for Women's Euro 2017, which ended in a semi-final defeat by the Netherlands.
Since making the complaint, Aluko has not been picked for England and last played for her country in April 2016, despite being the Women's Super League One top scorer the same year.
However, she still remains a centrally contracted player on a deal worth about £30,000 a year.
A qualified lawyer, Aluko was part of the England team who won the bronze medal at the 2015 World Cup and became the first female pundit to appear on Match of the Day.
BBC Sport correspondent Natalie Pirks
In early 2016, the FA's director of elite development Dan Ashworth asked Aluko to be part of a cultural review of all England teams. It's little wonder her opinion was sought - she was a senior member of the women's squad, with more than 100 caps to her name.
Her experiences were to be written up as part of confidential feedback about the culture under Mark Sampson and Aluko chose to speak her mind, presumably believing it would be helpful to the development of the team. After all, in May 2016, Sampson described the Chelsea forward as a "world-class talent who's played a big part in the team's development and success in the two years I've been in charge".
But since her feedback included allegations of a culture of bullying and harassment - including references to an alleged racist incident in a team meeting - she has not played for England. She's since spoken of how she believes Sampson has his favourites.
Two further England players have told BBC Sport of their experiences while playing for their country under Sampson.
Defender Anita Asante, 32, said she felt singled out in the way she was dropped from the squad.
And midfielder Lianne Sanderson, 29, said she felt as if she had "fallen out of favour" and was unappreciated, particularly when there was a lack of recognition for winning her 50th cap.
She blamed the culture in the team and said it seemed opinions from players were not welcome.

The 35-year-old former England international joined United in 2006 and can sign for European clubs from January as his contract ends in June.
Carrick says he is "relaxed" about any uncertainty over his future.
"There are a lot of things to be decided but it would be very difficult to play somewhere else," he said.
United manager Jose Mourinho indicated last month that he wants Carrick - who did not sign his current deal until June this year - to stay for an additional year, although he has not communicated that directly to the player.
Carrick knows the final decision will be determined by whether both he and his manager feel he is making a worthwhile contribution to United's bid for honours.
Wednesday's EFL Cup quarter-final win over his first club West Ham was his ninth appearance of the season. Carrick has started four of the past five games, missing the weekend league draw against the Hammers with a minor calf injury.
With the exception of Wayne Rooney, he is United's longest-serving player. He is 21st on the club's all-time appearance list with 430, meaning he has played more times for the club than David Beckham, Denis Law and Peter Schmeichel.
In recent seasons several of Carrick's long-time team-mates have retired.
Rio Ferdinand joined QPR for a year after he left United in 2014, while Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs ended their playing careers without signing for anyone else.
"Everyone is different," said Carrick.
"You can't beat that buzz of winning a big game. That is what I am here for."

Odion Ighalo scored his first goal in 599 minutes to put the away side ahead early in the second half after Arsenal had spurned a series of good chances.
Adlene Guedioura then smashed home with the visitors' second shot on target.
Substitute Danny Welbeck scored with two minutes left to set up a dramatic finish, before missing the chance to force a replay from an open goal.
With Costel Pantilimon beaten after an Alex Iwobi effort had come back off the post, Welbeck could only stab the ball agonisingly wide as he struggled to keep his balance on the turn.
Relive Watford's victory over Arsenal

Following defeats by Swansea and Barcelona, this was Arsenal's third consecutive loss at the Emirates - their worst home run since moving from Highbury in 2006.
And it could have been worse for the Gunners, with defender Gabriel fortunate to escape punishment for a two-footed tackle on Troy Deeney before the break.
Defeat here to Swansea in early March saw Arsenal's Premier League aspirations take a serious blow, and with the gap to leaders Leicester having since moved out to eight points, winning the title looks very unlikely.
Then followed their 2-0 reverse at home to Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League. Not many Gunners fans will be betting against the Spanish side progressing at their expense in the second leg on Wednesday.
Victory in this year's FA Cup was without a doubt the club's best chance of silverware. And it would have been Wenger's seventh triumph, making him the most successful manager in the history of the competition.
Now, though, the pressure will be on the Frenchman like never before during his near 20-year reign in north London.
If Arsenal's two consecutive FA Cup trophies were supposed to demonstrate progress towards winning the league or the Champions League, what does this season's disappointing exit herald?
In the opening period Ighalo - who had not scored since January during the fourth-round win against Nottingham Forest - looked a pale shadow of the player he was in the first half of the season.
How goals transform a striker's confidence though, and when the opener came it had a very familiar feel about it.
Strike-partner Troy Deeney provided the assist, as he has for so many of Ighalo's 17 goals, rising above both Calum Chambers and Per Mertesacker to flick on to the Nigerian, who spun away from Gabriel to fire home on the turn.
It was a familiar goal for Arsenal, too. Once again they had gone behind after failing to make their early dominance tell, and once again the defending was soft.
No such criticisms could be made of Watford's second though; Guedioura's stunning strike soared into the top corner.
But clearly Arsenal were left vulnerable by the chances they failed to take, with Mohamed Elneny spurning two clear first-half openings.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "Our fantastic run has come to an end on a day where we felt that our performance deserved a win. Credit to Watford, they created few chances but took them all. It's sad because we gave everything.
"The players don't miss on purpose. You have to be realistic. Of course on the first goal, we made a mistake.

"It is very difficult against Barcelona, but we have to see it as a challenge and try to make the impossible possible."
Watford manager Quique Flores: "It was difficult in the first half, we tried to contain Arsenal and then try to create attempts and play well.
"In the last two months we were being competitive, but not winning. I feel fantastic, I'm really happy for the players and the fans. They follow us and it is an amazing prize for them.
"I have memories on television of the old Wembley and watching in Spain and seeing the finals of this competition. I've just arrived in England, and to get there is exciting."
Arsenal's next match is Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg away to Barcelona (19:45 GMT), with the Gunners 2-0 down from the home tie. Watford next play at home to Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

And as we drove into San Sebastian, in the heart of Spain's Basque region, we were halted by road blocks and stern faced police in black uniforms, guns pressed against their chests.
For a moment it felt like days of old when this picturesque town was an epicentre of Eta's bloody campaign for independence.
But then cyclists sped past, in a blaze of bright colours, in the warm spring sunshine.
It was the Tour of the Basque Country.
The traffic jam also held up one of the mediators' Eta contacts for more than a hour. Decades ago, when Spanish and French security forces were locked in a brutal confrontation with Eta fighters, his delay would have been a cause for concern.
But on Saturday morning, just after sunrise, a dark chapter came to an end in a short simple ceremony in Bayonne City Hall in south-west France.
As the world confronts a new wave of extreme Islamist violence, the last insurgency in the heart of Europe has effectively ended. Eta's move was largely symbolic since much of its arsenal is obsolete. But symbolism matters in a conflict which has left a deep wound, particularly in Spanish society.
I and two other journalists were allowed to sit in on the ceremony.
In a statement handed to me through an intermediary two days before, the "Basque Socialist Revolutionary Organisation for National Liberation" announced their "Disarmament Day".
Like so much about this moment, it was a study in contrasts.
Shafts of sunlight streamed through the heavy drapes drawn across long windows in an elegant high ceilinged room.
History was made around a small square table which brought together international mediators who had worked toward this day for many years, along with members of an association called "Artisans of Peace".
Pressure from within Basque society had been instrumental in sketching a new future for a region where there is still a strong yearning for independence.
But anger and antagonism over a half a century of Eta car bombings and assassinations haven't gone away either. The Spanish and French governments still refuse to negotiate with a proscribed terrorist group.
Eta tried for years to open a secret channel. Sources say that in the past year there were high-level contacts with senior French officials. Spain blocked them on at least three occasions.
So unlike in Northern Ireland and Colombia, where governments played a role, Eta's disarmament came about through a unique collaboration between international organisations and an array of civil society actors ranging from churches to trade unions.
Eta had warned in their statement, with palpable bitterness, that "enemies of peace" could attack their event.
But, on the day, Spanish authorities "looked the other way", and the French "actively looked the other way", in the words of one of the international organisers. French forces discreetly secured Bayonne City Hall on a quiet Saturday morning.
It fell to French Basque environmentalist, Txetx Etcheverry, dressed in casual attire, to hand over a black dossier bulging with blue files.
This was Eta's inventory with details of their remaining weaponry including locations of their last arms dumps which are all in France.
The file then rested for a moment in the hands of two leading men of the cloth: Archbishop Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and The Reverend Harold Good from Northern Ireland who had also witnessed the IRA's weapons decommissioning more than a decade ago.
From where I sat, I could see there was text and photographs about what was later described as "very significant" quantities of explosive materials - nearly three tons worth - and about 120 guns.
The white bearded Reverend Good, who's been visiting this region since 2005, later told me it was a "wonderful day".
And then, the documents were passed to Ram Manikkalingam, a mediator who decided the occasion merited a suit and tie, who heads the Amsterdam-based Dialogue Advisory Group.
"There were many moments when we doubted this would happen," he admitted when we sat down in the same room after he had deposited Eta's file in the French prosecutor's office in City hall.
"There were steps forward, and steps backward," recalls Mr Manikkalingam who, as chair of the International Verification Commission, has also been monitoring Eta's unilateral ceasefire declared in 2011.
It has taken since then to convince Eta fighters to give up their weaponry without getting anything in return. Tracking down what's left also took time in a highly secretive organisation with a myriad of small cells.
And not everyone is on board. Sources estimate Eta dissidents include about 100 hardline fighters, including prisoners and their family members and gunmen still underground.
"This worried us constantly," admits Mr Manikkalingam. "As we know from the Northern Ireland experience, one of the worst bomb attacks took place after the Good Friday Agreement."
Sources say lessons were drawn from IRA history to try to ensure bomb makers are under control, and any signs of dissatisfaction are addressed.
And Eta still exists. Hence, the only reaction from Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his governing People's Party (PP) was to call on "terrorists" to "dissolve... and disappear" but not before apologising to its many victims.
"As a long-time observer - and I never thought I would say this - I have to say that the PP's hardline, 'no talks, this is a law-and-order matter' has worked," remarked journalist and historian Giles Tremlett who also sat in on the handover ceremony. "Eta has been defeated."

What is Eta?
But the mood was still buoyant at a packed "Peace Rally" in the Old Town of Bayonne. A video on a big screen showed Eta's arms dumps being guarded by volunteers before French police arrived to carry away their contents.
"There are issues which need to be addressed on the road to peace," explained Gorku Elejabarrieta of the pro-independence Basque party Sortu, who was still beaming after attending a rally he said gathered people from all parts of society.
"Every victim has to be acknowledged, including more than 300 Eta prisoners," he said, "But we must work on this together."
The day before, I met his party leader, Arnaldo Otegi, who once headed Eta's political wing. It had earned him the nickname "Gerry Adams", in another nod to Northern Ireland.
"The armed conflict should have ended earlier," he conceded. "Our society wanted us to take this step earlier and we should have listened.
"Everyone needs to understand it is not easy to convince militants, after many years of armed struggle, to take this step," added the prominent politician who played a key role behind the scenes. "The past finished late but we want a different future."
As "Disarmament Day" drew to a close, a video of the handover ceremony was made available. But all the audio was removed. An armed group which first emerged with a very big bang closed this chapter without even a whisper.
Austrian police raided the team's hotel on 9 February, seizing equipment and medicines, while 10 competitors had urine and blood samples taken.
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) said it is not considering disciplinary action "at this point in time".
The Kazakh Olympic committee said the result was was "obvious and expected".
The raid was carried out after a cardboard box containing used medical equipment and documents police said indicated "indicating doping had taken place" - was found at a nearby petrol station last month.
The IBU added: "Since the investigations of the Criminal Intelligence Service Austria are still ongoing with regard to the evaluation of material found, the IBU reserves the right for any further disciplinary action based on any possible findings by the Austrian State Attorney at a later time."

It means the 14 states with bans on same-sex marriage will no longer be able to enforce them.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that the plaintiffs asked "for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."
The ruling brings to an end more than a decade of bitter legal battles.
Same-sex couples in several affected states including Georgia, Michigan, Ohio and Texas rushed to wed on Friday.
However officials in other states, including Mississippi and Louisiana, said marriages had to wait until procedural issues were addressed.
President Barack Obama said the ruling was a "victory for America".
"When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free " he said.
However, Christian conservatives condemned the decision.
Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee called it "an out-of-control act of unconstitutional, judicial tyranny".
And Kellie Fiedorek, a lawyer for an anti-gay marriage advocacy group, said the decision "ignored the voices of thousands of Americans".
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, a state where marriages licences will now be issued to same-sex couples, said the justices "have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court's previous decisions reserve to the people of the states".
Loud cheers erupted outside the court after the ruling was announced, and there were tears, hugs, and cheers of "USA USA USA!".
A sea of rainbow flags overwhelmed the few anti-gay marriage activists who reacted in disbelief, and the demonstration seemed to turn into a street party.
A tour bus drove past honking as hundreds cheered the decision.
One of the demonstrators, Jordan Monaghan, called his mother from his mobile phone amid the celebrations.
"Hey mom, I'm at the Supreme Court. Your son can have a husband now," Mr Monaghan said.
Minutes after the ruling, couples in one of the states that had a ban, Georgia, lined up in hope of being wed.
In Texas, Yasmin Menchaca and her partner Catherine Andrews told the BBC that they are "trying to round up our parents" in order to get married on Friday.
The two have been together for six years, and had attempted to marry in Washington state - but decided to wait because of the financial burden of flying their parents across the country.
On social media, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton merely tweeted the word "proud" and the White House changed its Twitter avatar into the rainbow colours.
The case considered by the court concerned Jim Obergefell, an Ohio resident who was not recognised as the legal widower of his late husband, John Arthur.
"It's my hope that gay marriage will soon be a thing of the past, and from this day forward it will simply be 'marriage,'" an emotional Mr Obergefell said outside the court.
The first state to allow same-sex marriage was Massachusetts, which granted the right in 2004.
In recent years, a wave of legal rulings and a dramatic shift in public opinion have expanded gay marriage in the US.
In 2012, the high court struck down a federal anti same-sex marriage law.
The ball - which is about 6cm across - was taken from its display cabinet at the volunteer-run Dunblane Museum while curators' backs were turned.
Museum curator Marjorie Davies said the theft was "shocking" as the ball was irreplaceable.
Known as a petrosphere, the ball was originally found near Dunblane about 100 years ago.
The museum said the ball had been taken in November, and initially staff tried to trace it by circulating details to other museums. Police have only just been called in.
Mrs Davies said: "It's big enough to hold in your hand, but you wouldn't be able to close your hand round it.
"These things are unique to Scotland. They tend to be found in the north of Scotland."
She said that scholars could not decide what they were used for or why they were made.
"They are very, very rare, and anybody who tried to sell it would immediately have to furnish the provenance of it," she added.
"You certainly couldn't put a price on it."
Police in Dunblane said they were investigating the theft and appealed for information.
A spokesman said: "If you have any knowledge of who may be responsible or know the whereabouts of the stone ball, please contact Dunblane officers on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
Army veteran Ricky Best, 53, was killed when he intervened to protect two young women from anti-Muslim abuse last week.
Portland Police have released an image of a man they say carried Mr Best's backpack from the scene.
Mr Best and fellow victim Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche have been widely hailed as "heroes" for their actions.
Officers said the backpack contained "personal items important to the Best family".
The department's official spokesman, Sgt Pete Simpson, tweeted: "Find this man Portland. This family has already suffered too much pain."
Sgt Simpson told Portland's KOIN-6 television: "We really kind of want to lean on the humanity if there is any there."
"Turn yourself in, bring the property back so this family can have it," he said in an appeal to the thief.
The attack happened on 28 May on Portland's Max train, when a man began shouting "hate speech" at two young women on the train, one of whom was wearing a hijab.
When passengers attempted to intervene to protect the pair, the man produced a knife and stabbed three people, killing two.
One of the two women, 16-year-old Destinee Mangum, said: "Without them, we probably would be dead right now."
Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, possession of a weapon and intimidation.
During a brief court appearance on Tuesday, he made no plea, but instead shouted slogans such as: "You call it terrorism. I call it patriotism" and "death to the enemies of America".
He is due to appear in court again on 7 June.
The Premier League leaders' annual financial figures show they made a profit of £10.7m in the 2014-15 season.
That is despite having to pay some £16m in fines for failing to meet Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
City, who posted a loss of £22.9m during the 2013-14 season, saw annual revenue grow for the seventh straight year - to £351.8m.
It is the first time the club's revenue has broken the £350m barrier.
Despite match day revenue falling last season, largely due to the club's early exit from the League Cup and ongoing stadium improvements, City say the club is now valued at £676m.
City also announced they had reduced their wage bill for a second successive year, down to £193.5m compared to £205m for the 2013-14 season.
Manchester United spent £203m on wages last season, while Arsenal spent £192.2m. The most recent figures for Chelsea's wage bill are £192.7m for the 2013-14 season.
"To put things in their simplest terms, we are now a profitable business with no debt and no outstanding restrictions," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
"Our transition to profitability has been a long-planned milestone.
"The fact that we consider last season to be below par is a testament to how far we have come in the last seven years. This is a level of ambition that we should not shirk or shy away from."
City had accumulated losses of £583m over the past six seasons under the ownership of Mansour, a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi.
It is estimated Mansour's family have as much as $1tn (£648bn) in overseas assets alone.
Fly-half Gareth Anscombe scored a try in an 18-point tally with Lloyd Williams and Tom James also crossing.
Blues dominated for an hour, but John Barclay's try and a yellow card for Josh Turnbull led to a frantic finish.
Dan Jones kicked 12 points for the Scarlets, who were a shadow of the team that beat Ospreys a week earlier.
Danny Wilson's Blues team improved their own chances of claiming a place in next season's European Champions Cup with an impressive display of counter-attacking rugby.
Scarlets were unable to establish the forward dominance which had undone the Ospreys.
Wilson's decision to go with three recognised openside flankers in his back row paid dividends as the Blues won six turnovers in the first half.
Anscombe and full-back Rhys Patchell made the most of the possession, wrong-footing the home defence as they quickly changed the point of attack.
Only Blues indiscipline kept the Scarlets in touch at half-time as Jones punished transgressions.
A change of tactics early in the second half saw Scarlets slow the pace and establish a little more control, but all seemed lost when man-of-the-match Sam Warburton halted a Scarlets counter, and James and Anscombe combined for a thrilling touchdown.
Scarlets finally crossed the whitewash when Barclay drove over from short range after Blues lost a defensive scrum.
Thomas' conversion got the Scarlets to within a converted try and Turnbull's yellow card gave them added impetus.
But Blues held-on for a deserved win.

"You can't picture something as amazing as this. I came here for a PB. I didn't think I'd get a medal as well," Fortune said.
"It was an absolute honour to run around that track with the GB flag flying behind you.
"I just hope, maybe in Tokyo, I'll get the gold medal and listen to the anthem played."
Sprinter Rhys Jones ran a personal best to finish fourth in his heat to qualify for Sunday's T37 100m final.
Sara Head will face Chinese world champion Li Qian in the women's singles class 3 table tennis quarter final after a 3-0 last 16 victory over Croatia's Helena Dretar-Karic having earlier beaten Sigala Lopez of Mexico.
"I'm over the moon. I was controlled, composed, kept to my game and that worked. It was so much fun," Head said.
In the men's singles class 1, Rob Davies will play Endre Major from Hungary in Sunday's semi-final following a 3-0 win over Jean-Francois Ducay of France.
Ducay had beaten Davies in the group stages at London 2012 and Davies was relieved to make amends.
"He is one of the top guys in Paralympic table tennis in my class and has been for years and it has been a battle with him for eight years and to get my revenge on him for London is sweet for sure," Davies said.
Fellow Welshman Paul Davies, having beaten Brazil's Aloisio Lima earlier in the day, could not repeat his heroics against Ki-won Nam and the Korean was a 3-0 winner in the men' singles class 1.
Welsh judoka Jack Hodgson lost to Kento Masaki of Japan in the quarter-finals of the men's +100kg category and although he beat Turkey's Dursun Hayran in the repechages the 19-year-old later lost to Ilham Zakiyev of Azerbaijan.
Clare Griffiths and GB's Women's Wheelchair basketball team secured their third win with a 50-45 victory over Germany.
The rural seat of Yscir, near Brecon, remained vacant at last Thursday's local elections as Gillian Thomas stepped down after 27 years' service.
Nominations open next Tuesday and close on 25 May.
If more than one candidate comes forward, the poll will take place on 22 June. Around a fifth of the 73 seats on Powys council were uncontested.
Elections for one seat in Ceredigion and three seats in Merthyr Tydfil were postponed until 8 June due to the deaths of candidates.
The 30-year-old arrived at Turf Moor in 2013 after being released by Bristol City.
Heaton made his England debut against Australia in May and was part of the Euro 2016 squad.
"I really want to kick on and push that boundary now and see where I can get to," he told the club website.
Heaton has started every league match for Burnley during his three years at the club.
Ken Cresswell, 57, from Rotherham, was one of four men who died in the collapse on 23 February. His body was recovered earlier this month.
John Shaw, 61, Michael Collings, 53, and Christopher Huxtable, 34, were also killed.
Mr Cresswell's funeral took place early at Rotherham Crematorium.
The body of David West, 70, who ran the HeyJo club in Mayfair, was discovered at an address in Ormond Yard behind Jermyn Street on Friday evening.
His son, also called David West, 44, of Jermyn Street, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with murder.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a single stab wound.
Mr West senior made his fortune from a discount alcohol and tobacco business in Calais.
He also owned the Abracadabra restaurant in Jermyn Street, near the HeyJo club.
In 2007 Mr West hired Cherie Blair, the barrister and wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, to challenge the smoking ban that was about to come into force in enclosed public places in England.
Jodie Moss died when Dariusz Tokarczyk's HGV smashed into her stationary car on the A34 at Chieveley, Berkshire, in March 2016.
Tokarczyk, 47, admitted causing death by dangerous driving.
He was sentenced to four-and-half years in prison and banned from driving for 51 months.
Reading Crown Court heard that Jodie, from Swindon, had turned her Vauxhall Corsa's hazard warning lights on after it had suffered engine failure.
Tokarczyk, from Harrogate in North Yorkshire, was selecting music on his mobile phone in the moments before impact, the court heard.
Judge Angela Morris told Tokarczyk that his actions were "irresponsible, reckless and thoughtless".
Jerry Moss, Jodie's father, said: "She was taken far too early by a selfish 10-second act. The driver had plenty of time to act."
He added that the "devastation caused is immeasurable".
Just as unlikely, at the start of this Premier League season, was that the club from the Midlands in the UK would become known around the world.
When the final whistle blew in the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on Monday, confirming Leicester's title, it was 21:55 in west London, 13:55 in Los Angeles, and 03:55 on Tuesday in Bangkok.
In the five minutes after the result was confirmed, more than 493,000 tweets using the word "Leicester" were sent worldwide, hitting a peak of some 140,000 tweets in the minute right after the final whistle blew.
The true global appeal of football, and perhaps of the underdog story, was shown in the fact that cities including Sydney, Mumbai, Istanbul and Rio de Janeiro were among those taking the keenest interest online in Leicester's success.
One country with an eye on the result was Thailand, even if it was confirmed there in the middle of the night.
Leicester City were taken over by Thai owners in 2010, and the stadium has been renamed after King Power, owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's travel retail firm.
The 596,000 people who like the club's official Thai page on Facebook were in celebratory mood when the result came in. One user, Anantawat Jhansubin, replied: "Don't forget to bring the trophy to Thailand!"
Many other Thai people writing on the Facebook page gave credit to Buddhist monk Phra Prommangkalachan, who is revered by the club's owners. He gave blessings to the team at the start of the season, and has created banners to pray for the club's success.
The Bangkok newspaper The Nation reported comments by Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, the chairman's son, that the players would visit Thailand soon, although hopefully in less controversial circumstances than last year.
"Thai people should be given a lot of credit as all players acknowledge how much support they have been given," he said. "All players believe, so do all the Thai fans."
He said he hoped to tie blue and yellow flags on the Premier League trophy when it is handed over - blue, as it is the club's traditional colour, and yellow as that is the colour associated with the Thai king.
When the result came in, the rather convoluted hashtag #lahazanadeportivamasepicadelahistoria (The most epic athletic feat in history) became a trending topic in Mexico, as did #elsuenosecumplio (The dream is fulfilled).
Christian Parkinson, a BBC cameraman based in Johannesburg, is Leicester-born and a life-long fan of the club. He learned the result in mid-air on the way to South Africa.
France's sports newspaper L'Equipe published a detailed online segment dedicated to Leicester's win, paying tribute to the success of "the surprise package, this well-oiled machine that has transfixed people way beyond England's shores".
La Gazzetto dello Sport in Italy wrote that "there is no football fan in England or outside that does not recognise the achievement of this great little club, and its Italian leader", referring to manager Claudio Ranieri.
How do you explain Leicester's success to Americans?
In India, the Times of India's Hijam Raju Singh wrote: "The wait for the 'fairytale ending' of the 'beautiful story' is over. The biggest underdog story in recent times has met the ending everyone was hoping for."
Japan's NTV made Leicester's win its main sports story of the day, and understandably focused heavily on the club's Japanese international striker Shinji Okazaki and his part in Leicester's "long-cherished wish" to win the league.
France
One of the largest broadcasters, TF1, failed miserably. The joy of the sports team was evident, the ability to pronounce 'Leicester' less so: it becomes 'Lie-stair', its captain Wes Morgan renamed 'Vess'. Must try harder. Yellow card
Spain
Excellent - the team at RTVE clearly did its research. It is pronounced the right way, albeit with a Spanish flourish on the R of Leicester. 5-0 home win
Italy
La Repubblica newspaper wanted to find out, so took to the streets (you can watch the very funny results here). Some people managed to pronounce it perfectly, but it seems the consensus in Rome is that it is said 'Lie-Chester'. Creditable 1-1 draw
Japan
NTV's attempt was not great. Not great at all. Let's leave it at that. Red card, own goal
*It's Less-tur
The partnership with the group, led by businesswoman Khunying Sasima Srivikorn, was first announced in July.
She will now become co-chairman with Sir John Madejski, who has been with the Berkshire club since 1990.
Previous majority shareholder Anton Zingarevich left the club's board in June, but Madejski had been looking for new investment since last year.
In a statement, Madejski said: "I cannot speak highly enough of our new partners from the time we have spent together so far."
The amount of money involved in the takeover has not yet been disclosed.
But, under the agreement, Sasima and Khun Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth have each bought 25% of the club.
The other 50% of the shareholding in the club has been bought by Khun Narin Niruttinanon.
Two other Thai members of the consortium will also join the club's board, but Nigel Howe will remain as chief executive.
"I have owned this great club for almost a quarter of a century and it has given me some of the greatest memories of my life," Madejski added.
"I am incredibly proud of the success we have enjoyed both on and off the pitch.
"There are reasons to be optimistic on many fronts, and we now move forward with a renewed vigour and high hopes for a bright new future."
Zingarevich bought a majority 51% stake in Reading in May 2012, and was due to complete a full takeover in October of the following year, only to pull out of the deal.
In April of this year, Madejski said the club's need for new investment was "critical", but after Zingarevich severed his connections with the club, he revealed at the end of July that a partnership with the Thai consortium was in place.
Reading were relegated from the Premier League in 2013 and subsequently finished seventh in the Championship last season.
Madejski told BBC Radio Berkshire he estimates that running the club has cost him around £50m and also revealed the new owners have "taken on a substantial amount of debt" which had built up at the club.
Caitlyn Kydd, of Folkestone, Kent, is urging people to post photos of themselves blowing a kiss under the hashtag #Kisses4Wishes.
They are then asked to donate money to the Rays of Sunshine charity and nominate three people to do the same.
Singers Leona Lewis and Olly Murs have also taken part so far.
Caitlin, who has a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma, said she decided to start the campaign after the charity granted her wish to meet pop band One Direction.
"Rays of Sunshine has literally brought some sunshine back into my life and now I would like to try and help other children like me to have their greatest wishes come true," she said.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams, who proposed the legislation, said Wales would be the first part of Europe with such a legal requirement.
"This small but fundamental change in the way we staff our wards with nurses will undoubtedly save lives," she said.
Meanwhile nurse training places will increase by 10% - an extra 135 - in a £85m Welsh government package.
Extra training places for physiotherapists and radiographers are also included.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said highly-trained staff were "the heart of the Welsh NHS".
"This investment is based on what NHS organisations have told us they need to maintain services," he said.
"Despite the financial pressures faced during in recent years we have continued to invest in education and training for health professionals in Wales. This year is no exception."
AMs approved Ms Williams's nurse staffing levels bill on Wednesday evening.
"The logic is simple: more nurses on our wards means each nurse can spend more time with each patient, ensuring better care as a result," she said.
"More staff nurses means health boards won't have to fork out for expensive agency nurses, saving our NHS money in the long run."
It's a future the majority of Canadians appear happy to embrace, for now.
The Cambridges have only visited parts of the country where people have applauded them coming, not questioned their existence.
They know the monarchy needs to be seen and appreciated to survive.
The public presence, at strategic points during the tour, of Prince George and Princess Charlotte will have bolstered, at the very least temporarily, the survival of this ancient institution.
Of course, what has been left unsaid this week is that Prince William and Prince George are not next in line.
Prince Charles is waiting in the wings and his appeal in Canada is not as great as that of his son or his grandson.
Monarchists argue that's down to the allure of youth.
Those seeking an elected, Canadian-born head of state see a chink in the armoury of the House of Windsor.
At the start of the trip, I was very struck by the cheering of the crowd. On more than one occasion, it bordered on ecstatic.
The focus of their fervour was a youthful-looking man with a wife and children.
I saw him once hang out of his car, waving, before his motorcade moved off.
This wasn't a jetlagged prince embracing rock politics - rather, the tattooed boxer politician Justin Trudeau.
I've watched the Canadian prime minister weave along a red carpet shaking hands, hugging people and placing his hand on his heart.
The warmth of his reception has been striking to someone who lives in the UK where a more jaded view of all politicians tends to be on display.
Mr Trudeau, with his political opponents off duty, in Victoria and Vancouver where I've seen him in action, has appeared happy.
It's probably helped that while here, the duke and the duchess have been showcasing some of his policies.
When was the last time you saw a senior member of the Royal Family with refugees in the UK?
Precisely.
But in Canada, it's not a fraught issue.
When the Almahameed family met Prince William and his wife, the world was reminded of Mr Trudeau's open policy of welcoming, in their thousands, those fleeing the war in Syria.
The prime minister's attempts to demonstrate he is repairing his country's relationship with its indigenous population have proved more fraught.
William and Kate have met their representatives repeatedly.
And repeatedly, the sense of hurt has been palpable.
Speech after speech has focused on both past and current injustices inflicted on a people that make up 4% of the population.
Canada's aboriginal people have a deep and historic connection with the Crown.
Its representative, Prince William, heard their entreaties.
He'll want to help, but can he?
Can an unelected head of state in waiting do anything meaningful?
The prince will have plenty of time to mull it over and act if he so chooses.
As things stand, there'll be many more visits by the Cambridges to Canada.
The burger chain said the jobs were needed for new restaurants and extended opening hours.
UK boss Paul Pomroy said the company was committed to the UK, but added that "challenging economic conditions" remained.
McDonald's has seen 41 consecutive quarters of sales growth in the UK.
"As a major UK employer, we have added more than 15,000 people to our workforce during the last five years as a result of our sustained business growth and long-term investment in recruitment and training," he added.
"Growth has been driven by investment and innovation in the restaurant experience, new restaurants and extended opening hours - over half of our stores are now open 24/7 throughout the week."
The government said the new jobs pointed to confidence in the UK economy after Britain's vote to leave the EU.
"Today's announcement underlines that businesses are confident that the UK remains open for business," said Business Secretary Greg Clark.
On Tuesday, the global McDonald's business reported a 3.5% drop in total revenue to $6.27bn (£4.8bn) during the second quarter of the year, with profits down 9.1% to $1.09bn.
Sales at US restaurants open at least 13 months rose 1.8%, but this was below analysts' forecasts and the burger giant said it faced "a challenging environment in several key markets".
The actor told The Huffington Post: "I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it."
Ratings for this year's televised ceremony were down 16% on last year, and the lowest for six years.
Harris's stint as host came in for a bashing, with criticism it was flat and even "embarrassing" in places.
He had previously won plaudits for his hosting of the Tony Awards, which appeared to suit his style more having a Broadway background himself.
Asked if he read the reviews, he said: "I didn't keep up with it obsessively, but it was interesting to see just what people thought landed and didn't."
He added: "It's so difficult for one who's simply watching the show to realise just how much time and concession and compromise and explanation has gone into almost every single thing.
"And I'm not saying that to defend everything I said as if it was the absolute best choice, but it's also an award show, and you're powering through 14 acts filled with 20 plus awards.
"So my job was to try and keep things as light and specific to this year's set of films as possible. And if people are critical of that, it's a big giant platform, so I would assume that they would be."
The blame for low ratings has been been partly blamed on the lack of blockbuster movies up for the big prizes, with the contenders including Birdman and Boyhood considered more arthouse than mainstream.
The by-election has been triggered by the death of long-serving Labour MP Michael Meacher.
Labour chief whip Rosie Winterton moved the writ in the House of Commons to formally begin the process.
Mr Meacher, a former environment minister, held the seat for Labour in May with a 14,738 majority from UKIP in second place.
The Manhattan demonstration is part of a global protest, with over 2,000 marches taking place around the world.
Mr Ban will also tackle the issue with 125 heads of state and government on Tuesday at UN headquarters.
It will be the first such gathering since the unsuccessful Copenhagen conference in 2009.
The meeting will attempt to push forward political momentum towards a new universal agreement on climate to be signed by all nations at the end of 2015.
To maintain pressure on the political leaders, the People's Climate March has been carefully organised to show that there is popular support for action to curb carbon emissions.
Speaking before the event Mr Ban said he wanted to take part to show he supported the need for rapid action.
"I will link arms with those marching for climate action," he told a news conference.
"We stand with them on the right side of this key issue for our common future."
Joining him will be the Wolf of Wall Street star, who has recently been appointed a UN Messenger of Peace with special responsibility for climate change.
Mr Di Caprio tweeted at the time that he was "honoured to accept at this key moment".
In New York, the march will also be attended by former Vice President Al Gore and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
It will feature thousands of colourful displays of art, all designed to enhance an intended narrative that the time for dithering is over.
"I think at this point everyone around the world is feeling the urgency and our institutions are behind the curve," said Gal Golan, one of the artists working on the march.
"This moment becomes crucial for asserting that action is necessary immediately, and we have very limited time to make changes to avoid unprecedented levels of catastrophe."
Explaining why the UN secretary general was taking part, Mary Robinson, former UN special envoy, explained: "I think the Secretary General recognises that this is for everyone, and it is important that in every country civil society comes out and puts pressure on their leaders to make the changes necessary so that we will have a safe world.
"He doesn't see the marchers as them and the insiders as being an us, rather he sees the two as part of building a momentum, it is civil society asking their leaders to be more ambitious."
The artists are being joined by a diverse range of people including scientists, religious leaders, and farmers. Also in attendance will be survivors of Tropical Storm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina, as well as indigenous tribes from South America and elsewhere.
Organisers have spent six months preparing the protests in places as diverse as Papua New Guinea, Lagos, London and Rio where the famous statue of Christ will be turned green.
They believe that a huge global turnout can't be ignored by the heads of state and government that will convene at UN headquarters on Tuesday.
"The march is incredibly important, because it will help draw policy makers and corporate leaders' attention to the importance of climate change, including the need to adapt to climate change," said Dr Jessica Hellmann, associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame.
"The march demands that government grow its commitment to adaptation. The diversity of people participating in the climate change march all around the world, sends a strong message that everyone is affected by climate change."
Mr Ban has asked that the political leaders come to UN headquarters bearing pledges of action. He wants to hear commitments to cut carbon and offers of finance for those most affected.
It remains to be seen how significant these will be.
The leaders of China, India, Australia, Russia and Canada won't be here. Observers believe the meeting can still achieve political momentum. After all, there will be more leaders in New York than in Copenhagen in 2009 when hopes of a last minute deal were dashed in confused and rancorous discussions.

Mr Johnson says he will discuss a "wide range of issues and deepen the strength of our bilateral relationship" when he meets President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
"We are Egypt's top economic partner and strong allies against terrorism and extremist ideas," he added.
The Foreign Office said Mr Johnson would meet human rights activists.
He will also host a reception with British investors and Egyptian entrepreneurs.
A former armed forces chief, President Sisi was elected to power in 2014, a year after removing his predecessor, Mohammed Morsi, from office in a popularly-backed coup. But some Egyptians worry he represents a return to the authoritarian security state that prevailed under President Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Johnson said: "The UK is a champion of a renewed Egypt, because stability, peace and growth in this region are the bedrock of opportunity and security for British people and people in the region."
Mr Skates said the stretch of motorway could be opened by autumn 2021 if ministers go ahead after the probe.
A "fresh analysis" will be drawn up on the alternative "blue route" upgrade of existing Newport roads, he told AMs.
An environmentalist has promised to "dismantle" Welsh ministers' case.
Mr Skates said: "An independent Inspector will review the need for the scheme and consider all environmental, social and economic factors.
"They will hear evidence and examine the technical experts as well as hearing from supporters and objectors."
He said: "The historic consideration of options will be examined, as will all alternative routes proposed by objectors, including the much referred to 'blue route'.
"This will robustly test the merits of suggested alternatives and give an independent view on whether the proposed scheme offers the most sustainable, long term solution."
Mr Skates said the inquiry was set "to commence this autumn at the Lysaght Institute in Newport, with a pre-inquiry meeting taking place on 18 July".
"The inquiry itself is expected to take around five months, following which the Inspector will produce a report and recommendations to me," he said.
If the Welsh Government decided to proceed after the inquiry, "the new section of M4 could be opened by autumn 2021", he said.
Later Mr Skates said a "fresh analysis" of the blue route will be carried out prior to the inquiry but that strategic studies had shown that option would provide "very little relief" to the motorway and would worsen problems on local roads.
The Welsh Government's preferred "black route" is estimated to cost £1.1bn excluding VAT and inflation. It would involve building a new six-lane motorway south of Newport along the Gwent Levels.
That proposal has provoked opposition from environmental groups warning of "ecological destruction on an unprecedented scale".
Some Labour AMs are in disagreement with the plans, as is Plaid Cymru, which is backing the blue route.
Alun Cairns, Secretary of State for Wales, welcomed the announcement saying he looked forward to a quick inquiry: "The sooner we can establish the route and deal with outstanding concerns, the better."
Dai Lloyd of Plaid Cymru said: "The truth is that we do need a solution, and I don't think that doing nothing is an option for people in that local area or the business of south Wales.
"I welcome the intention to look at a broad range of options in an entirely independent enquiry," saying he would also like the inquiry to look at the abolition of the Severn Bridge tolls.
Gareth Clubb, director of Friends of the Earth Cymru, said earlier: "We'll be providing evidence that dismantles the Welsh Government's case."
He said the group would ask why the Welsh Government had not acted on its own previous analysis "that 5% of peak traffic could be stripped out of the Brynglas Tunnels by partial closure of one motorway junction".
He added: "We're looking for a public inquiry to be rigorously independent, with an inspector who's not afraid to tell the Welsh Government some unpalatable truths."
"The inquiry needs to look at the whole range of issues to uncover the feeble evidence on which the Welsh Government is pinning its case, the shaky rationale for the project, the massive cost," he said.
The inquiry is expected to begin in the autumn.
The announcement comes as 18 months of nightly closures of the Brynglas tunnels in Newport begin for maintenance work.
His latest film, Logan, sees the mutant superhero in a way we've never seen him before - older, more grizzled and working as a limo driver to support a frail Professor Charles Xavier.
It's a very different take on the comic book character we've been used to seeing the actor play across eight films, but the star says he's more than happy to bow out with this movie.
"I was very clear this was the last one when we were making it," he says. "I don't think I could've made this movie unless I knew that.
"This was the version of the movie I wanted to make - and I was surprised the studio said yes - because I felt deep down we hadn't fully cracked it.
"And I don't think I was fully OK with it until I saw it, because even though I had a good feeling, you never know until you see the final product if it's something you know you can sleep with for the rest of your life."
The Oscar-nominated actor also insists he will never return to the role, even for cameos or spin-off films.
"I'm going home - it's been a great party, thank you," he says. "I'm putting my pyjamas on and going to bed."
But he does have some words of advice for whoever takes on the Wolverine next.
"I remember running into Dougray Scott who originally had this role, but couldn't do it because he was on another film that ran over, so I got the role.
"I met him and thought this is going to be awkward, but he said: 'Logan is going to be one of the best roles you'll ever have, so go crush it'.
"I thought it was so simple and classy, so I'll say the same thing - but don't crush it too much."
Jackman's next film project, The Greatest Showman, tells the story of PT Barnum - the founder of the famous Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
After that, the star says he hopes to return to the London stage, almost 20 years since he last appeared.
He was nominated for an Olivier theatre award in 1998 for his UK stage debut in Trevor Nunn's revival of Oklahoma! before his film career took off.
But he told the BBC there was another reason why he had not returned sooner.
"It's an issue of children - I love being here but I have kids at school. At some point in the future I'd love to come to the West End," he said.
"Coming here working for Trevor Nunn at the National Theatre, that was a real turning point for me.
"[My children] are 16 and 11 and they're at the age where they'd love me to go away because I'm kind of a strict guy at home, but I'd love to do that again some time."
Logan is on general release in cinemas now.

Connie Yates and Chris Gard's son, Charlie, is receiving 24-hour treatment at London's Great Ormond Street hospital for a rare genetic condition.
With no accepted cure for the disease, the hospital believes Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity.
Judge Nicholas Francis QC said: "This is one of the saddest types of case that comes before this court."
The judge heard that Charlie, who was born on August 4 2016, is unable to cry and is deaf.
But barrister Sophia Roper, who represents Charlie's parents, told the judge: "His parents believe that he is in much better shape than the hospital does."
Miss Yates, 31, told the Daily Mail: "We were shocked and horrified to find we are being taken to court and that the hospital are asking for Charlie's life support to be switched off.
"I can't put into words how horrible it is to see court papers with our baby's name on them. It's as if Charlie is being sentenced to death."
Though born healthy in August 2016, by the time Charlie was eight weeks old he began to lose weight and strength, she told the paper.
He rapidly declined and was admitted to Great Ormond Street in October after developing aspiration pneumonia.
He was later diagnosed with mitochondrial depletion syndrome - a condition which causes progressive muscle weakness.
A spokesperson for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust said: "Charlie has a very rare and complex disease, for which there is no accepted cure.
"Charlie was very unwell when he was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital and has remained under 24-hour care on our intensive care unit.
"But his condition has continued to deteriorate and we now feel we have exhausted all available proven treatment options.
"We cannot imagine how hugely distressing this is for his family. We continue to support them in every way we can, while advocating, what we believe, is best for Charlie."
But Charlie's parents, who live in London, want to take him to the US, where they believe he may have a chance of surviving if he receives pioneering treatment.
Kate Gollop QC, the barrister representing doctors at Great Ormond Street, said the hospital's specialists had considered the type of treatment available in the US and decided not to adopt it.
The court also heard that a hospital in Spain had decided against accepting him as a patient.
Miss Yates has launched a campaign, #CharliesFight, which has raised more than £80,000 of the £1.2m she believes is needed for Charlie to receive the treatment in America.
Mr Justice Francis said Charlie's parents were "utterly devoted" to him.
The judge said the couple had his "deepest sympathy", adding: "It is the most tragic situation".
Mr Francis was speaking at the initial hearing of the boy's case at the High Court in London.
Three-year-old Missouri and six-week-old son Jefferson are being cared for at the charity's centre in Drumoak.
Centre manger Graeme Innes said: "Missouri had a rather round tummy when she arrived in our care and gave birth to the adorable Jefferson in April.
"We're surprised we haven't had any interest yet and we're hoping we can find this sweet pair a loving home."
Missouri's owner could no longer care for her.
Anyone who can offer Missouri and Jefferson a new home is asked to contact the Scottish SPCA's Aberdeenshire centre on 03000 999 999.
Fire crews were called to a horse box on fire at a farm in Horris Hill, Newtown Common, early on Wednesday.
It emerged that burglars had broken into a tack store on the farm and taken nine saddles, worth £12,000, and some bridles.
Police said, during the raid, the suspects set fire to a horse box truck and flames spread to a nearby stable.
Although the occupants managed to rescue the horses inside the stable two were injured by the fire, with one suffering serious burns to its back.
Stable owner Martin Pope said: "They've caused an enormous amount of damage, threatened all the horses' lives and any humans who were trying to save the horses."
Det Con Alex Hall, of Hampshire Constabulary, said: "This type of offence is extremely rare.
"Although it is not clear why the horse truck was set on fire, it does not appear it was the offenders' intention to cause injury to the horses.
"Nevertheless I would urge horse owners to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity in their local area."
Police said the incident was thought to have taken place between 02:30 and 03:30 GMT.

Officers have been instructed not to exercise discretion, but issue tickets for speeding and seatbelt offences and for using a mobile phone while driving.
The move was announced at a meeting of the Policing Board on Thursday.
It comes after 54 people died on Northern Ireland's roads since the start of the year.
At the same point in 2012, 26 people had been killed. In the first eight months of 2013, 40 people had died on the roads.
A father whose son suffered catastrophic injuries in a speed-related traffic accident spoke about the impact it had had on his son and the family on the day the police crackdown began.
He said his son suffered horrendous injuries in the accident and although he had survived, his son was not the "same boy as he was".
"He has made a good recovery, but he is certainly not the same boy as he was. His life is totally ruined," he said.
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin told the Policing Board on Thursday that because of police concerns about the number of road deaths so far this year, they had decided to take a "firmer approach in relation to some offences on Northern Ireland's roads".
"From tomorrow, Friday 5th September, if you are caught speeding, if you are caught using a phone while driving, or if you are caught not wearing your seat belt, you can expect to get a ticket and that ticket will mean a £60 fine and three penalty points," ACC Martin said.
"We don't want to give you a ticket, we want to find you driving responsibly within the limitations of the road and within the posted speed limits - that's what we want to find.
"But, if we find that you are in breach of one of those three offences we will give you a ticket and we make no apology for that because we would much rather give you a ticket than be knocking your family's door to tell them you have lost your life on the road."
He said officers were being told to hit all offenders with tickets.

The Wimbledon champion beat Dodig 6-4 6-2 6-4 to give Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five play-off.
Murray, 26, was untroubled by the world number 35 and showed no signs of a recent back injury.
British number two Dan Evans won his dead rubber against Mate Pavic 6-4 7-6 (7-4) to clinch a 4-1 triumph.
Andy is such a good player and so experienced. I did not have to say much, so it was more putting an ice towel round his neck.
World number three Murray, playing his first Davis Cup tie for two years, was instrumental in Britain's success, winning both his singles matches and combining with Colin Fleming to win Saturday's doubles rubber.
Britain will face another of the world's top 16 nations in the first round of the World Group in February, with the draw taking place on Wednesday.
And Murray is eager to be involved.
"If I'm fit and healthy, I will be there to play," the British number one told BBC Sport. "A couple of years ago that wasn't the case when I sat down with [captain] Leon Smith.
"I wanted the younger guys to step up and experience it. There was no use us being in the World Group because we weren't ready for it.
"But now I think we are ready to do well. We have a top doubles team. Dan (Evans) and James (Ward) will continue to improve and we've got the makings of a very solid team."
After breaking Dodig, 28, in the first game of their match, Murray was pegged back to 2-2 before immediately breaking again.
From then on, the Scot dictated play to win the first set in 47 minutes before rattling through the second with a double break.
The match ended amid controversy when a Dodig winner, which would have given him a break point, was overruled by the umpire after Murray pointed to a mark on the clay.
The home crowd booed as Murray won the ensuing match point before celebrating on court with his team-mates.
"I thought it was a pretty good match. I gave him very few opportunities on my serve," added Murray.
"Murray had a steely look in his eye from the very first point, and by breaking Dodig's serve in the very first game, drained what little self-belief Croatia's number one had taken into the match.
"The first set was a contest, but Murray was a class apart, and had the ability to break Dodig's serve at regular intervals.
"Britain have come a long way under captain Leon Smith, and with Murray indicating his enthusiasm to play in the World Group if fit, an exciting opportunity lies ahead."
"It got pretty hostile towards the end. It was good to go through in that kind of atmosphere. You don't see that much in Grand Slam matches, and it is good for character-building.
"The thing is, when the crowds get like that you have to tell yourself it's because they are frustrated that their team is losing. I managed to stay cool at the end."
Looking ahead to the draw, Murray said: "I would just like a home tie, in a big arena, against one of the top teams.
"It is an incredibly difficult competition to win because some of the teams have so much depth. It depends on the ties and whether you are at home.
"We could easily draw Spain away in the first round and that would be an ugly match-up for us - very difficult to win.
"But it's possible to go deep into the competition. Let's enjoy this just now and wait and see the draw on Wednesday."
Captain Smith, who has won seven of his eight ties since his appointment in 2010, paid tribute to Murray's role in the success.
"Andy is such a good player and so experienced," said Smith. "I did not have to say much, so it was more putting an ice towel round his neck.
"It was more about knowing when to say things, rather than just blurting things.

The visitors soaked up early pressure and took an unlikely lead from Alan Goodall's header from a corner.
Scott Barrow scored his first Newport goal to level with a drilled effort into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
But substitute Mullin converted from the spot in the 94th minute after a foul on Kevin Ellison.
Newport County manager Terry Butcher told BBC Radio Wales: "I can't describe the feeling in the dressing room to be honest. It's one of devastation and huge, huge disappointment because we played so well in the game.
"We made enough chances to have won two or three games, especially in the first half. To go in a goal down at half-time was a travesty.
"To lose the game 2-1 is an even bigger travesty because it's one long ball over the top, two minutes to go in added time and we don't deal with it and we've paid a heavy price."

"Thank you BBC for choosing me and to my old fans in England. Thank you very much," said Ronaldo, who has scored 281 goals in 267 matches for Real.
He won the award ahead of tennis player Serena Williams, boxer Floyd Mayweather and MotoGP rider Marc Marquez.
Ronaldo, who has scored 27 hat-tricks for Real, netted 17 goals in last season's Champions League, breaking the previous record of 14 held by Jose Altafini and Lionel Messi.
He is only the second footballer to win the award since this century, after Brazil striker Ronaldo in 2002.
Eight experts scaled the structure using ropes, after bad weather hampered previous attempts to board the rig.
Since the rig ran aground off Lewis on Monday, salvors have only been able to make a short assessment of its condition.
More than 12,000 gallons of diesel oil have been lost from its tanks.
On Sunday, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said rope technicians had created "a safe alternative access" to the rig.
The salvors intend to make the rig habitable so they can remain on it overnight.
Work is also being done to provide a supply line so the team can get equipment and supplies on board.
In a statement, MCA said the salvors would look at the rig's diesel oil tanks to examine how fuel might be transferred to other unbreached tanks before any operation to refloat the rig begins.
Survey work is also being carried out to identify the safest route to move the rig when the time comes.
Another aircraft is being brought in to help with the work.
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said: "Once the assessment is under way, we'll have a much better idea of what we are dealing with, which will mean a more detailed salvage plan can be drawn up and put into place.
"We've made a commitment to keeping people informed locally and we intend to keep to that - once I'm happy that the plan is ready, we will be sharing it with community leaders and the community as a whole."
A 300m exclusion zone remains in place around the rig. It covers both sea and air, which means no drones will be permitted in the area.
The Transocean Winner was being towed from Norway to Malta from where it was to be moved to a yard in Turkey to be broken up.
A tow line between the rig and a tug broke during stormy weather and the structure ran aground at Dalmore at about 07:30 BST on Monday.
After the verdict, the 80-year-old Vincent Asaro walked out of the courthouse in Brooklyn and threw his hands into the air, shouting: "Free!"
He was cleared of murder, extortion and other crimes after a three-week trial.
His arrest last year had raised hopes that one of the country's most infamous unsolved crimes would be closed.
The theft by masked men of $5m in cash and $1m in jewels from a Lufthansa Airlines cargo building at New York's John F Kennedy Airport was the biggest robbery ever carried out at the time.
Prosecutors said Mr Asaro waited in a decoy car about a mile away with another gangster Jimmy Burke, who inspired the character played by Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's cult film.
Lawyers spent years building a case against the defendant, the only man arrested over the crime, and had called on senior Mafia figures to give evidence.
The US attorney's office declined to comment after the verdict, a reticence not shared by a jubilant and dumbfounded Mr Asaro.
"I was shocked, I was really shocked," he told reporters outside the courthouse, where major mobsters like John Gotti had been convicted in the past.
In closing arguments, Assistant US Attorney Alicyn Cooley told the court the defendant, whose father and grandfather were members of the secretive Bonanno crime family, "was born into that life and he fully embraced it".
The state's case relied heavily on the evidence of Mr Asaro's cousin Gaspare Valenti but defence lawyers tried to discredit such witnesses as "accomplished liars".
Taking the witness stand last month, Mr Valenti told the court that Mr Asaro and Mr Burke killed a suspected informant using a dog chain and then ordered him to bury the body.
As he walked free from court, getting into a waiting car, Mr Asaro joked to his lawyers: "Sam, don't let them see the body in the trunk."
Jimmy Burke died in 1996 while serving a 20-year sentence for the murder of a drug dealer. He was suspected of, but never prosecuted over, the Lufthansa robbery or the subsequent deaths of many of those suspected of taking part in the heist.
Coastguards received a 999 call from a member of the public just before 14:30 BST, saying the boat was in difficulty near rocks at St David's Head.
It is thought two local fishermen were on board when it sank.
Five lifeboats and a Rescue 187 coastguard helicopter were called off the search at 22:00 BST on Thursday.
It is due to resume on Friday morning.
Jim Phillips, from the RNLI in St Davids, said a member of the public on the coastal path saw the boat smashed on a rock with two people - thought to be local fishermen - in the water at about 14:40 BST.
The vessel - believed to be "The Harvester" which operated from Milford Haven - was about a mile out to sea near Abereiddi.
He said by the time rescuers got to the scene it had sunk and all that was left on the water's surface was debris.
"We know there were two people on board this boat but unfortunately there's been no sign of them since," Mr Phillips added.
The RNLI said conditions at sea were rough.
A spokesman for St David's Head Lifeboat Station said the search on Thursday was "intensive".
"In that area where there are rocks under the surface, they wouldn't have been fishing, so we are not sure what they were doing there," he said.
"We're trying to plot the tides to try and see where they could have got washed into a cove or washed to shore."
Dyfed-Powys Police said the families of the two missing men were being supported by officers and have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
Jason Yendall, 29, Aaron Brannan, 24, and Jason Britton, 23, stole 21 high-value watches from Rox in the Argyll Arcade on 24 September 2014.
They were caught when two friends, Alistair Oliver, 30 and Gordon McLay, 32, were seen wearing stolen watches.
All five also admitted being involved in a £20,000 bank robbery in Edinburgh on 2 October.
Yendall was sentenced to 12 years and nine months at the High Court in Glasgow while Brannan was jailed for 10 and a half years and Britton to five years and 10 months.
All three had earlier pled guilty to being involved in both raids.
Oliver was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years and McLay to six years. They admitted being involved in the bank robbery as well as resetting two watches taken from the Argyll Arcade.
Passing sentence, the judge said: "This behaviour can truly be described as serious and organised criminal conduct.
"This involved planning, determination and the calculated use of violence.
"Some of you are career criminals to which such conduct comes easily."
During the trial, the High Court in Glasgow heard Yendall, Brannan and Britton were all friends from Manchester while Oliver and McLay knew each other from living in Wallyford, East Lothian.
In the run-up to both robberies, vehicles and registration plates had been stolen in Scotland and England.
On 23 September - the day before the Argyll Arcade raid - Yendall, Brannan and Britton carried out a "dry run" of the route to and from the scene.
The next morning, the trio along with two unknown associates travelled from Edinburgh and targeted the arcade, which houses more than 30 jewellers and diamond merchants.
During the trial, Prosecutor Sheena Fraser told the court: "Four of the men got out of the car - two carrying baseball bats, one a sledgehammer and one an axe.
"One of them was also carrying a holdall. The driver remained within the car.
"The Crown cannot say which of the men was the driver and which four attended at the arcade."
The armed robbers - also wearing balaclavas and gloves - sprinted down Buchanan Street into the busy mall at about 13:00.
They immediately targeted Rox jewellery store which had expensive Hublot watches as well as Bell and Ross time-pieces.
As some of the gang took turns to keep a look-out, others raced inside and smashed a window display.
Terrified staff and customers looked on as 21 high-end watches were snatched and tossed into bags.
Ms Fraser said: "While this was happening, members of the group in the arcade were shouting and banging on other shop windows.
Some shoppers captured the incident on their mobile phones.
Just under four minutes after arriving, the gang fled with the stolen watches, shouting threats as they left.
They jumped into a getaway vehicle before eventually heading on the M8 towards Edinburgh.
Oliver and McLay were later seen in a bookmakers in Wallyford, each wearing £2,750 watches taken from the Argyll Arcade.
The Argyll Arcade was left with a £20,000 repair bill.
The court heard that all of the gang already had a criminal past.
Yendall was on early release from a five-year jail term in 2012 for another robbery.
Cwm Taf went against the proposals relating to A&E, specialist care for mothers, newborn babies and children.
The Royal Glamorgan hospital in Llantrisant, which comes under Cwm Taf, would see some services moved under the plans.
Health minister Mark Drakeford said Cwm Taf would not hold up changes.
The other four health boards backed the recommendation.
Since the start of 2012, senior managers and medical professionals from the five health boards and the Welsh Ambulance Service have been working together in the South Wales Programme (SWP) to develop proposals for hospitals from Swansea to Newport.
The proposed changes come amid concerns that services across eight hospitals are currently spread too thinly. However, managers insist no individual A&E department would close.
There are also concerns that professional standards of care are not being met, junior doctors do not get the training they need and senior doctors do not get to see enough patients.
Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, Morriston Hospital in Swansea, a new hospital near Cwmbran, Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr and the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, are the five hospitals where services would be centralised.
The future for the Royal Glamorgan would see it become a "beacon site" for developing a new model of acute medicine for people with chronic illnesses.
But the recommendation needed to be accepted by the five south Wales health boards and the ambulance service who met on Thursday.
Cardiff and Vale, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg (ABM), Aneurin Bevan and Powys health boards all approved the proposal.
A spokesperson for ABM said: "Working together in this way will help to support key services, making them stronger and more sustainable."
An Aneurin Bevan spokesperson added: "We fully recognise the seriousness of the issues highlighted in the case for change."
However, Cwm Taf has proposed an alternative model which has led to confusion over whether the reorganisation plan will be accepted.
It backed the most of the proposals, but instead of moving services from the Royal Glamorgan, it proposed an alternative which would see the Royal Glamorgan and Princess of Wales (which comes under ABM health board) sharing services as a "starting point" to centralising units.
In a joint statement, Cwm Taf chairman Dr Chris Jones and chief executive Allison Williams said: "Providing integrated services from these two hospitals will preserve services in as many centres as possible - and local access for local communities."
Talks will take place next week to find a solution.
Paul Hollard, programme director for the SWP said: "We will work together to discuss these and consider the next steps so that the South Wales Programme work can proceed with minimum delay.
"It is vital that we get this right to ensure the best healthcare possible for the people of south Wales and south Powys."
If a solution can be found, a final decision will be scrutinised by five Community Health Councils (CHCs) - watchdogs - at a later date.
Should they not be happy, the matter will be referred to the Welsh government.
And the early indication is that it could be referred after Cardiff and Vale CHC said it was disappointed about the recommendation being supported by its health board.
Cwm Taf CHC was disappointed the health board was not able to support the CHC's own preferred option.
The issue has been the subject of much debate.
Mr Hollard said the last six months has been spent analysing the views of 61,000 responses from the public, patients and healthcare professionals.
"It is clear patients and the public want to maintain as many local services as possible, but not at the expense of clinical quality," he said.
"However, we also know that the way some services are currently organised makes it very difficult for us to consistently meet the standards of care our patients deserve.
"We believe that to be able to meet these standards, these specialist services - consultant-led maternity and neonatal care, inpatient children's services and emergency medicine - should be centralised in five centres as a starting point towards the development of the three acute care alliances.
"This is the best way to ensure all patients get the care they need, when they need it and that it is delivered by highly-trained and experienced staff."
Care alliances would be set up alongside the five sites and would see clinicians from different hospitals working together across health board boundaries to provide care for patients.
They would share information, skills and expertise and the alliances would decide which work goes where.
That includes being involved with the centralising of services like consultant-led maternity and neonatal care, along with inpatient children's services and A&E.
The alliances would also ensure patients continue to have access to local assessment, care, treatment and follow-ups.
But there may be occasions - as happens now - when some patients with complex conditions need to travel to a specialist centre.
However, if an alliance was to propose any changes, it would have to go out to consultation.
Mr Hollard added: "It has become increasingly evident the traditional way of working, in which hospitals work in isolation, is not sustainable.
"We need to be innovative and make ambitious changes to deliver high-class care to people as locally as possible.
"These acute care alliances will form the back bone of our long-term plans to ensure this can happen."
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said Cwm Taf's proposal would be scrutinised.
"However, given the unanimous agreement on the overall model, it should not hold up work to implement the changes to service provision," he said.
The man showed the two-week-old animals to a member of the public in an Asda car park in South Woodham Ferrers before making the threat.
The RSPCA said the member of the public reacted by taking the piglets away from the man. He kept them for a night before calling animal welfare officers.
The organisation said it was thought the piglets might have been stolen.
Inspector Steve Craddock appealed for anyone with piglets to check if any are missing.
Mr Craddock said: "My initial thought was that these piglets must have been stolen as they are too young to have escaped from a smallholding.
"However, I have contacted both the police and Defra and neither have any reports of stolen or missing pigs.
"Someone may have not noticed that a couple of piglets from a litter of about 13 have gone.
"The piglets can't have been away from their mother for long though - less than 72 hours I would say as, at that age, they would probably have died from dehydration if they had been away from their mother for any longer."
The versatile Baird is an important part of Michael O'Neill's international squad but has not been playing regularly for his Championship team in recent weeks.
"It's just a case of waiting and biding my time," the 33-year-old said.
"It's a matter of waiting for my chance and then taking it when it comes."
Baird has spoken to manager Paul Clement about his role with the Rams, having been installed as captain on his arrival at Pride Park in the summer.
After starting the season at right-back, Baird has made just two substitute appearances since the start of October.
With his country heading to their first major tournament for 30 years, he is mindful of the need for game time but knows he is not far from the first XI.
"Me and the manager have had a few chats and I understand where he's coming from because he doesn't want to change a winning team," he said.
"Obviously it's frustrating but I've been in this position before, though not as the captain which is a bit stranger. The main thing is the boys are winning and playing really well.
"God forbid injuries happen, but you'll have suspensions and so on. It's a long season in the Championship, so I expect to play.
"If it didn't and it was nearing the end of the season, I'd maybe have to sort something out in terms of going out on loan. That's further down the line. A lot of things can happen."

"It became clear that Mark wants to build a new team and I fully support that," Edwards said.

"This is a new era and he wants other players to come to the fore to build a strong team."
Edwards led England to the 2009 World Cup and World T20 titles, also winning four Ashes series against Australia.
But the team has struggled of late, despite the introduction of central contracts in 2014 to help make women's cricket more professional.
After relinquishing the Ashes to Australia last summer, England were beaten in the semi-finals of the 2016 World T20.
Ebony Rainford-Brent, who was a member of the World Cup-winning team in 2009, said it was the right time for Edwards to go.
"The 2017 World Cup will be here in England and the side hasn't continued that success from 2009," she said.
"It's a difficult decision but it gives the team time to build towards the World Cup with a younger captain in place."
Edwards will continue to play domestic cricket, captaining the Southern Vipers in the inaugural Kia Super League this summer and leading Kent in the Royal London Women's One-Day Championship.
"I leave very proud of the standing in which the women's game is held and of my contribution as a player and captain," she said.
Director of England women's cricket Clare Connor said Edwards made a "remarkable impact" on the women's game, but wants a new captain to "come to the fore".
Connor confirmed 25-year-old vice-captain Heather Knight was among the candidates, with a decision to be finalised before England face Pakistan in one-day and Twenty20 series this summer.
"We haven't kicked on as we envisaged," Connor told BBC Sport.
"When, in professional sport, a team does under-perform and players aren't necessarily playing to their potential, it's the captain, sadly, who is called into question.
"We have a key year now to develop the team under a new head coach, under a new coaching team and to give the opportunity to a new captain to have a voice and take the team in that new direction.
"He (Robinson) was very honest with Charlotte that he was unlikely to pick her this summer because he wants other players to have those opportunities at the top of the order, to be accountable and come to the fore."
"Charlotte has had an incredible career," Rainford-Brent said. "She's done it all and broken so many records.
"But most important is the era she's spanned, from paying for her own blazer right through to professionalism. She should be proud of her legacy.
"I've not met a character like her. I very much looked up to her as a junior and she was a real leader.
"She was straight-talking, a special character and she'll still offer the game so much in other ways."
Test Match Special commentator Charles Dagnall said Edwards was "an absolute pro" and "players should be grateful" for her contribution to the game.
ECB chief executive Tom Harrison said: "Charlotte's achievements in the game are unrivalled and, in many aspects, are unlikely to ever be surpassed.
"She leaves the most wonderful legacy, having inspired countless women and girls around the world to pick up a bat and a ball and play the game she so clearly loves."
BBC Test Match Special's Jonathan Agnew
"Not many people play international sport for as long as Charlotte has. She's been absolutely outstanding and women's cricket has undergone a great transition during her time.
"It's fantastic that they are now professional, but if you're not winning - as England haven't been recently, losing the Ashes and going out of the World T20 in the semi-finals - it's below expectations.
"You have a new coach coming in from the men's game in Mark Robinson and he's looking at a 36-year-old captain and thinking: 'Do we make a clean break?'.
"On one hand there are great benefits to professionalism, but on the other it's a lot more ruthless."
Pte Cheryl James had thought people were "calling her a slag", former Army trainee Catherine Roberts told the inquest at Woking Coroner's Court.
She said Pte James was "upset" when she mentioned name-calling in the canteen four weeks before she died.
Ms Roberts said: "As far as I was concerned I did not hear anything about anyone calling her names."
She told the hearing: "She never did say anything about leaving the Army. She never said she did not want to be there any more.
"I recall once she came into the canteen and was upset and stated that people were talking about her, and spoke about people putting rumours around that she was a slapper, which she said she was not - stories going around."
Ms Roberts told the court Pte James had been planning a Christmas shopping trip which showed she was looking to the future.
Pte James, 18, of Llangollen, one of four recruits to die at the Army training camp in Surrey over a seven-year period, was found shot dead at the barracks in 1995.
In a written statement, William Porter, a paramedic with the Surrey Ambulance Service, said he arrived at the wooded area where Pte James' body was found at about 08:55 GMT.
He said: "I remember going up a slope a short distance. It was some woods... and seeing a female in Army uniform.
"I believed that her back was against a fir tree and possibly her knees raised. I could see a wound to the right side of her head.
"I could not see any sign of life. From what I could see I believed it was a suicide," Mr Porter said.
Insp Timothy Mackie, a MoD police officer, who was a sergeant in 1995, said Pte James' body was lying face down when he arrived at the barracks.
He said the undergrowth had been disturbed and the ground was damp, even though it had not been raining.
In his written statement, he said: "The body was face down. I do not remember seeing any wounds or a rifle."
He said he remembered being told by a police inspector as he left the scene that Pte James had a wound to her forehead.
Insp Mackie said: "I remember finding that strange because I could not recall an exit wound."
The hearing was adjourned until Monday.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
The baby girl was discovered with serious injuries in the Meole Brace area of Shrewsbury on 22 April 2016, West Mercia Police said.
The baby is now in the care of the local authority, officers said.
The 31-year-old woman, from Oswestry in Shropshire, is in police custody and is due to appear Telford Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning, the force added.
It is unclear what sparked the clashes but a senior police officer told the BBC that a police station had been set on fire.
One media report says that a policeman had confronted a navy officer for failing to stop at some traffic lights.
The police and the navy have not officially commented on the incident.
Images of burned cars and building were shared on the Nigeria police Facebook page but they have since been removed.
Africa Live: More updates on this and other stories
Another media report says that a navy officer who had been involved in a minor accident with a motorised rickshaw had been angered by the policeman's behaviour.
Shortly afterwards, a group of armed naval officers are said to have attacked and burnt down a local police station.
The BBC's Martin Patience in Lagos says the attack highlights the often lawless behaviour of the country's defence forces.
The barnacle-encrusted youngster was found stranded at Gwithian beach, Cornwall, on 6 January.
Its body temperature was so low it could not move or eat and it had to be tube-fed while being slowly warmed up at Newquay's Blue Reef aquarium.
Staff there say the turtle, which they have named Tallulah, could be released into the wild again.

Tallulah was washed up during a spike in strandings caused by winter storms.
The turtle, which started life in the Caribbean, should have had a body temperature of 27C (80F), but it had dropped to 7C (45F).
Kyle Wingfield from the aquarium said staff feared for its life.
"The tank was run on a chiller to keep it really cold and every day we would raise the temperature by a degree," he said.
"When she first arrived it was mainly about rehydrating, her so we had to insert a tube into her stomach."
The turtle had to be tube-fed every 90 minutes, but is now eating for itself.
Its favourite meal is squid although it also eats mackerel.
It is not on public display to allow it to be monitored in a quarantine area.
The supermarket giant abandoned a plan to build a new store on a site at Caol near Fort William earlier this year.
Highland Council has since bought the site for less than Tesco paid for it.
But Tesco's decision means the council will no longer get £400,000 and this has had a knock-on effect on funding an indoor sports centre in Fort William.
Lochaber Sports Association now expects to be given £200,000 towards the cost of the planned centre.
Local councillor Bill Clark said this was less than what the local authority had previously said it was prepared to give.
He said: "This is a terrible disappointment for Lochaber, for the sportsmen and women of Lochaber and Lochaber Sports Association who have done an outstanding job."
Earlier this month, Highland Council said it had bought the former Tesco site at Blar Mhor and had made the land available for the building of a replacement to Fort William's ageing Belford Hospital.
A science academy could also be built on part of the eight acre (3ha) site.
The local authority is working with NHS Highland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, West Highland College UHI and the Scottish government on the hospital project.
A customer complained after making the discovery at an Osaka outlet in August. McDonald's said an independent probe had found it was a human tooth.
The firm has also admitted that a piece of plastic was found in an ice-cream sundae, and a piece of vinyl was discovered in chicken nuggets.
McDonald's executives said they would work to eliminate such incidents.
The fast-food giant has faced a number of problems in Japan recently, including a shortage of fries that forced them to import from the US.
The firm has now admitted three cases of food contamination in the past year:
At a news conference on Wednesday, Hidehito Hishinuma said an examination of the tooth determined it had not been cooked.
"We were not able to discover how it got in the food," he said.
The woman who found the tooth had earlier claimed that the store manager had told her the tooth had been fried.
McDonald's executives defended the overall quality of McDonald's food and said the incidents were isolated cases.
They said they were aiming to make sure such incidents never happened again.
Pompey substitute Curtis Main went closest with a second-half header but the Alex, who have started the campaign in promising fashion after last season's relegation, deserved their point.
Portsmouth took an early grip on the game when Michael Smith was lose to connecting with Kal Naismith's driven cross.
But Crewe posed problems on the break through strike partners Ryan Lowe and Chris Dagnall, who flicked a George Cooper cross just past the post.
Portsmouth defender Christian Burgess got in the way of a Charlie Kirk effort, while, at the other end Milan Lalkovic's effort dropped onto the roof of the net.
Lowe conjured up an equally ambitious effort when spotting goalkeeper David Forde off his line, but his effort from 40 yards out fell a couple of yards past the post.
Portsmouth moved up a gear after the break but, when Gary Roberts did slip Michael Doyle in on goal, a timely block from Harry Davis prevented the Pompey skipper from getting his shot away.
Main glanced a header past the far post after Carl Baker's corner was flicked into his path before then almost turning the ball in from close range.
However, Crewe, who knocked Sheffield United out of the EFL Cup in midweek, were still a threat and Billy Bingham's blast forced a save out of Forde.
Report supplied by the Press Association.

The plan is included in the Landfill Disposals Tax Bill being introduced in the assembly.
Fly-tippers can already be fined and prosecuted, but would also face a tax on what they dumped on top of those existing penalties.
Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said the tax was part of efforts to achieve the goal of a zero-waste Wales.
The new Landfill Disposals Tax will replace landfill tax in Wales from April 2018 when the power is devolved from Westminster.
Landfill tax is currently charged on disposals of waste at authorised landfill sites.
But the plan to tax unauthorised dumping of waste is the one big change from the law as it currently stands.
This would cover both disposal at larger scale unauthorised sites and fly-tipping.
Both are currently illegal and anyone caught doing it, or allowing it, on a large scale would be subject to fines plus the new tax, which will be charged retrospectively.
Welsh Government are still looking at how it would be policed and what sort of steps would need to be taken to enforce payment of the tax.
They are understood to view the new tax as a deterrent to dissuade people from dumping illegally in the first place rather than as a revenue-raising scheme.
Apart from taxing the unauthorised dumping of rubbish, the new Welsh law is unlikely to differ much from the current state of affairs in England.
But Welsh Government officials say it makes legal and political sense for the assembly to control landfill tax because waste policy is already devolved.
The rates of tax are likely to be the same as those in England with the Welsh Government keen to avoid so-called "waste tourism".
The concern is that operators would travel between England and Wales to dump rubbish where lower taxes made landfill site charges cheaper.
Welsh officials are working with the UK Treasury to ensure that lower tax revenues from landfill are taken into account when the Welsh Government's block grant is calculated.
The tax is expected to raise £34m in Wales in 2016-17, but fall to £27m by 2018-19 due to increased rates of recycling.
The amount of landfill has gone down by 44% in Wales over the past 10 years, a steeper decline than the rest of the UK.
When the new law comes into force, landfill site operators will have to register with the Welsh Revenue Authority - the new tax collecting authority - and have a duty to file tax returns to the WRA.
Mr Drakeford said: "We have worked closely with stakeholders in developing this Bill.
"It is simple and clear to apply; reflects established practices; is up to date and relevant to Wales."
Ministers have the ability to consult on criminal powers under the Tax Management Collection Act, which came into force in April.
Natural Resources Wales will be involved in the collection of the landfill disposals tax, the Welsh Government said in 2015, when it unveiled plans for the WRA.
Welsh Conservative environment spokesman David Melding said: "The Welsh Government must ensure that this new law is implemented much more effectively than existing legislation and it is vital that local authorities feel equipped and resourced to tackle the blight of environmental crime."
The Chancellor has not spoken publicly since the Leave campaign won Thursday's referendum.
His aim will be to provide reassurance about the UK's economic and financial stability, a Treasury official said.
Before that statement the pound fell further, down another 2.6% against the dollar at $1.34.
Mr Osborne will publish his comments before European markets open at 08:00.
A Treasury spokesman said: "The Chancellor will make a statement to provide reassurance about financial and economic stability in light of the referendum result and the actions that he and the rest of the government will be taking to protect the national interest over the coming period."
The UK's credit rating outlook was downgraded on Friday night by Moody's, one of the three main ratings agencies, and banks expect sterling to remain volatile following the dramatic slide in the pound on Friday.
Economists expect the UK economy to fall into recession, which could force the Bank of England to cut interest rates later this year.
Governor Mark Carney said on Friday said the Bank was ready to provide £250bn of additional funds to support financial markets.
Leave campaigner Boris Johnson - a contender to become Conservative party leader - said Mr Carney should remain in his job despite coming under fire from some Brexit campaigners for highlighting the risks of leaving the European Union.
He claimed the UK would continue to have access to the single market despite the vote, adding there was "no great rush" to leave the EU.
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Economics, said the UK's "extremely fluid" political situation meant "it would be risky automatically to assume that the UK is heading for Brexit. Although the prime minister has resigned, his attempt to hold out until October to begin the formal process of exiting the EU signals that he may be seeking to engineer a revised deal".
Meanwhile, the Chancellor will also need to clarify whether he intends to announce the emergency Budget that he insisted during the referendum campaign would be necessary in the event of Brexit.
Mr Osborne said that £30bn in tax rises and spending cuts would be necessary to compensate for the negative effects of voting to leave.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn - himself under pressure following a string of resignations from the shadow cabinet on Sunday - and pro-Leave Tory MPs have said they would try to block such a financial package if Mr Osborne tried to get it through the House of Commons.
The Government is also being pressed by European leaders to set out a timeline for starting negotiations with the EU on the terms of Britain's departure.
David Cameron, who resigned as Prime Minister on Friday in the wake of the Leave vote, said his successor should be invoke article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to begin the formal withdrawal procedures after he leaves Downing Street in October.
However, EU leaders want the process to begin as soon as possible to minimise uncertainty.
French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke on Sunday night about how to respond to the UK's Brexit vote.
An aide to the French leader said both were in "full agreement on how to handle the situation" and the need to act quickly to "avoid uncertainties".
Mrs Merkel will hold talks in Berlin on Monday with Mr Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
The pups were taken at around lunchtime on Friday from a house in Beccles Drive, Portobello, Wolverhampton, while their owners were out.
West Midlands Police said the teenagers were seen at the back of the house and later on Caister Drive with the dogs.
The dogs are too young to have been taken from their mother, police said.
Det Sgt Nicki Addison said the family are distressed at the loss of two of the litter and that anyone who is offered a pup for sale should contact them.
"Equally we would like to hear from anyone who has information about the young men responsible for taking them," she said.
The two offenders are described as white teenagers. One was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and a black beanie hat.
Residents have been evacuated from within a two-mile (3km) zone around the site of Wednesday's huge explosions in an industrial estate warehouse housing hazardous chemicals.
More than 100 people were killed and 700 injured.
Roy Keld, from Sedgefield, said people had been advised to wear masks but had been given little official information.
"The area where we live now is pretty much like a ghost town and anybody who is there is wearing protective safety masks," he said.
"We've been warned if it rains to wear long-sleeved clothes, long trousers, that kind of thing, and use an umbrella.
"So they're pretty worried about what could come out of the sky if it does rain.
"It's going to be crazy for a long time, I think."
Mr Keld, a mechanical engineer, lives near the blast site with his Chinese wife and son but they are now staying at a hotel about 20 miles (30km) away.
He said people were angry and frustrated at the lack of information.
"That's pretty much China all over - they don't tell you unless they really have to," he said.
"There's a lot of frustration with the general public who were actually involved in what's going on.
"There's a lot of people just living in schools at the moment, and tents. It's a very densely populated area. So where do you put people?"
Mr Keld has lived in China for six years and works for UK company Heat Tech Tooling, which is based about 25 miles (40km) from the blast site and has been unaffected.
The magnitude of the first explosion was the equivalent of detonating three tonnes of TNT, while the second was the equivalent of 21 tonnes, the China Earthquake Networks Centre said.
Barca host the French champions on Wednesday in the last 16 second leg, trailing 4-0 from the game in Paris.
Their last two games have been 6-1 and 5-0 wins in La Liga.
"I couldn't have scripted two better games for the build-up to PSG. Not just because of the goals but because of how we got them," said Enrique.
The Barca boss announced he was leaving at the end of the season in the immediate aftermath of a 6-1 thrashing of Sporting Gijon. And they were hugely impressive in Saturday's 5-0 win over Celta Vigo.
"It was one of our best games of the season and the best of the last two months. And it came at the best time, with the end of the season approaching. This game was a huge boost for us.
"Against PSG we will have the chance to get back into the tie, and we'll keep going until the very last breath.
"Our challenge is to show that we can be better than PSG. It will be difficult, but I have indestructible faith that we can play great and get right back into contention."
Right-back Sergi Roberto said: "We are with Luis Enrique till the death, even if he is leaving. We are still in three competitions and we have to fight until the end."
Statistics later revealed Croydon-born singer had topped the phone vote for the last seven weeks of the contest - thanks to the unusual tactic of spurning saccharine ballads for full-throated rock songs (in an X Factor first, he performed AC/DC's Highway To Hell).
Haenow went on to bag last year's Christmas number one with a cover of OneRepublic's Something I Need; but now he is ready to reveal his solo material.
Hoping to break the "curse" of male X Factor winners, his debut album is a confident, bombastic collection - although the tracks he previews for the BBC are an unexpectedly straight-up pop songs.
Making the album "was definitely a compromise," says the 30-year-old, who adds that he didn't want to alienate his X Factor fans.
"I think a lot of people would have struggled with the old school rock I was into," he laughs.
The musician speaks to the BBC about the "stigma" of X Factor and turning down a song from Ed Sheeran.
Your new single, Second Hand Heart, is a duet with Kelly Clarkson. Was there a competition between you to see who could sing the loudest?
I wasn't stupid enough to put myself in that position! Kelly Clarkson is incredible. But that's the point about the song: It's two big, powerful voices. And being a duet we didn't want to do something too dreary.
With a different arrangement, it could be a country song.
It actually started out with a country vibe. There was a lot of slide guitar and stuff on there. But once we got Kelly on board there was a conscious effort to make it slightly more poppy.
In the past, albums by X Factor winners have been rushed out in a couple of months. Why did you take so long with yours?
Like you say, we could have just come out with an album of songs that people had given to me and cover versions. But taking time like we did gives the album a bit more credibility.
It is a very commercial album - moreso than people were expecting.
If I was just to release an album of rock songs, particularly the old school rock I was into, I think a lot of people would have struggled.
There are some harder songs but I didn't want to lose the fan base. The commercial pop side got me to where I am today.
How different is it watching X Factor now you know what goes on behind the scenes?
I think you're more emotionally invested in the contestants, because you know they've been sitting around for three-and-a-half hours before they go on stage.
Sometimes, as an outsider watching the show, you think: "Come on, get a grip. Stop crying. You've only sung a song." But to actually live it is a massive thing.
How many auditions did you go through before you were actually seen by Simon and Cheryl?
Let me think... I remember we went for the initial long audition, where you queue up for 14 or 15 hours. So, in total, I think there were three producer auditions and then you go to see the judges.
The viewing figures for the show aren't what they once were - but I wondered if that actually benefits you, as a certain portion of the music-buying public won't lumber you with the stigma of being an "X Factor winner"?
In some respects. It's nice to come off the show and have the momentum die down. It gives you time to emerge again and get away from the show. I mean, it was an amazing platform and it got me to where it got me - but there is still a lot of stigma that surrounds it.
If you distance yourself slightly from the show in the time you're off and writing your album, I think it's quite a good thing.
One of the songs on the album, Start Again, feels more like an X Factor winner's single than the one you actually put out.
Funnily enough, that was the first thing I wrote when I came off the show, so it is absolutely capturing that feeling. I just wanted to shout it from the rooftops.
Is it true you turned down a song from Ed Sheeran?
That was crazy. By the time I got the song offered we'd already got the shape of the album and the sound we were going for. So it was a joint decision by me and the label. It wasn't a situation where we got the song and just go go, that's not good enough. We took a lot of time to think about it. But it wouldn't have fitted onto the album as it was.
How do you make that phone call? "I'm sorry, multi-million-selling global pop star Ed Sheeran, but this song is just not good enough."
That's exactly what I said! The main thing for me is that people like Ed, who have gone out there and sung their own stories, are the ones who inspired me to get my own stories out there. So fingers crossed we can maybe get a little collaboration on the go. And I could maybe take him out to dinner to apologise.
There's a track called Brother, which seems very personal. What's the story behind that?
Before X factor, I was in a band with my brother as the guitarist. We were trying to make it for a long, long time and never got anywhere. So going on the show, I guess, was like me living our dreams one step away from him, because he couldn't come on the show. So that song's a round-about way of saying "whatever happens between us, we'll be okay."
Is he supportive of you now?
Well, he didn't vote for Andrea or Fleur or anything like that. Or so he says!
Was it hard to write the album in LA, with your family so far away?
Yeah, it was massive for me. It was quite lonely in some respects but it definitely helped me towards writing a lot of these songs.
How so?
I'd go back to the hotel and get in the foetal position and cry! No... but I think it's easier when you're away from people you love to feel your emotions. Stuff is heightened.
You wrote with some A-list names - JR Rotem (Rihanna, Snoop Dogg), Jim Duiguid (Paolo Nutini) and Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran). How do you get your voice heard against people like that?
In the first session, you're the newbie and - definitely - you're too scared to suggest anything.
But here's a cool thing I discovered: When you're writing songs as an amateur, you'll come up with a melody sitting in your room going "awooooo," making loads of stupid noises. And you presume that the big producers and big writers possess some sort of special magic formula - but no. We are all just sitting in a room making stupid noises.
What's the stupidest noise you made?
If you listen to the album there's lots of stupid noises on there! When you're writing a melody there are no words so it's essentially just going [sings] "woooo-oooo-ahhh-owww."
Hang on, that sounded great. Most people would kill to make a sound like that.
Well, you know, that's on the album as well. Just an hour of me doing that stuff. It's really self-indulgent.
Second Hand Heart, Ben Haenow's duet with Kelly Clarkson, is out now. His self-titled debut album follows on 13 November.
The operation was focused on bribery and rigging of contracts in the crematorium and archaeology business in favour of the Zagaria clan.
One of those arrested was Naples' top archaeology official while another was an ex-mayor of Pompeii, reports said.
A construction entrepreneur was alleged to head the corruption network.
The Casalesi cartel is seen as the strongest branch of the Camorra, the formidable organised crime syndicate in the Naples area.
On Tuesday, prosecutors warned that the cartel had taken control of farm and food businesses in the region too, particularly sales of buffalo mozzarella.

Italy's financial crime police spread their net wide in Wednesday's operation to include local officials, civil servants, accountants and university professors, local media said. Adele Campanelli, the head of Naples' architecture and fine arts department, was placed under house arrest, according to several reports.
Police are investigating 18 contracts awarded since 2013, such as the construction of a museum close to the Roman amphitheatre at Alife and a new crematorium in modern Pompeii.
City begin a 10th straight title defence against Stirling University.
However, Celtic have strengthened in pre-season, and, after winning both domestic cups last year, Williamson says Hibs want to complete the set.
"It's definitely going to be the tightest season yet looking at the teams," Williamson told BBC Scotland.
"Last year was just an amazing year, but I think you have to take all those experiences and use them to push on. We really want to improve our consistency. We want to challenge for the league.
"We always have belief in ourselves. We know on our day we're one of the best teams. Everyone's a challenge. Celtic definitely have strengthened, the whole league is getting better, but that's only a good thing."
Last season, Glasgow lost just one league game and finished eight points ahead of Hibs.
City did not get things all their own way, though, with Hibs defeating City in the League Cup final in May and also November's Scottish Cup final.
Williamson was coy about suggestions Hibs are favourites this time to finally knock City off their perch, with a difficult opening game against Rangers on Sunday.
"We're hoping so, but we'll just take every game as it comes, build on what we achieved last year, and see what happens," she said.
"Rangers are always a good side. They've got a lot of young, good players, who are always keen to prove themselves."
Celtic, who visit Hamilton on Sunday, have been the dominant force in men's football and are eager to add the women's title to the trophy cabinet.
They watched on last season as Glasgow and Hibs starred in the Champions League knock-out stages and will be spectators again this year having finished 13 points off the qualifying spots.
Head coach David Haley is determined to bridge the gap and has signed Sarah Crilly from Glasgow rivals City and Sarah Ewens from Hibs, as well as defender Kelsey Hodges from the USA.
Striker Kirsty Howat believes Hibs are favourites for the title, but is hopeful her side can make it a three-way fight for the league to repay the backing of the club.
"We've had a few new signings, positive signings though," said Howat. "I'd like to see us get second or push on for first.
"Celtic don't want us to be just the women's team or the youth team, they want us to be one club. That's refreshing to hear and they've been promoting us really well and some Celtic fans are coming along to our games.
"They've put a lot of money into us and hopefully we can give something back."
Glasgow City will not give up their title without a fight and have looked across the Atlantic for new talent with USA youth striker Savannah Jordan and US-born Jamaica international Lauren Silver joining the club.
Silver, who can operate in defence and midfield, arrives from French side Metz and says she is impressed with Glasgow City's style of football.
"At Glasgow City we pass, we move, we have a lot of possession, we change the point of attack often so it's great to see these technical players," said the 23-year-old Florida native.
"The play in France is a little more technical. I think with Glasgow City they mirror the US more in the way we keep the ball and try and break down teams."
Aberdeen face Spartans in the weekend's other top-flight fixture.
The men were arrested in December in Austria.
Algerian Adel Haddadi, 29 and Pakistani, Mohamad Usman Gani, 35 were arrested at a migrant centre.
Investigators believe they travelled with the Paris attackers to Greece and were possible co-conspirators.
The attacks in Paris on 13 November last year were the worst in French history.
Gunmen and suicide bombers hit Bataclan concert hall, the national football stadium, restaurants and bars, almost simultaneously, leaving 130 people dead and hundreds wounded.

Mr Haddadi and Mr Gani travelled to Greece on a refugee boat but were detained for allegedly having falsified Syrian passports.
They were then released and travelled to Salzburg where they were arrested after a tip-off from French police.
According to AFP, Mr Haddadi told police he wanted to go to France to "carry out a mission".
Mr Gani is thought to be a bomb maker for Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The local authority holds talks with staff, parents and the community over the future of schools which see their roll fall below that level.
Sandhead, Colvend, Amisfield, Brydekirk and Park Primary in Stranraer have moved onto the list.
Three schools - Palnackie, New Abbey and Hottsbridge in Waterbeck - have seen levels rise to above 50%.
The list is used by the council to begin the "engagement process" with schools about their future.
It looks at ways to improve the use of the schools by a number of methods but can also eventually lead to closure.
Last year Drochduil, Mouswald and St Peter's Primary in Dalbeattie were shut following consultation.
A report to councillors said all pupils involved had "settled in well" at their new schools and work was under way to put the properties to alternative use.
The full list of schools now on the low utilisation list is:
The report said the new schools on the list were all projected to remain on the list in future years apart from Park Primary in Stranraer.
A further report on the situation will be taken to the council next year.

Split into three stages, the cycle race covers 515.5km (320 miles), and will see riders weave across the Yorkshire landscape.
The race starts on Friday, 29 April in Beverley, East Yorkshire, and will end on Sunday, 1 May in the North Yorkshire resort of Scarborough.
Last year's inaugural race was watched by an estimated 1m people and brought ??50m into the region's economy.
Ticketing firm Ticketus successfully sued the 44-year-old for damages in 2013 over his part in the takeover of the Ibrox club in 2011.
The bankruptcy petition was filed at the High Court in London after Mr Whyte did not pay a judgment debt, plus costs and interest, currently worth £20.8m.
Mr Whyte also faces criminal charges over his part in the Rangers takeover.
A spokesman for Ticketus said: "Ticketus is pleased with the outcome of today's hearing and will now support the appointment of a trustee in Bankruptcy, who can start the process of claiming any assets that Mr Whyte holds for the benefit of Mr Whyte's creditors."
Ticketus provided cash to help Mr Whyte purchase Rangers in 2011.
The agreement was later terminated when the club entered administration in February 2012.
In its action against Mr Whyte, Ticketus said that he fraudulently or negligently made representations which induced the company to enter into agreements related to the sale or purchase of Rangers season tickets, and claimed damages.
The firm sought £17.6m - the value of what it invested.
Whyte was absent when bankruptcy registrar Nicholas Briggs accepted Ticketus's evidence and ruled "the debts in the bankruptcy petition are true".
The registrar said Mr Whyte "was called six times this morning and staff combed the building" to see if he was present.
The registrar declared Whyte bankrupt, despite his non-appearance, after examining his written submissions to the court.
Matthew Collings QC, appearing for Ticketus, said there had been "a degree of radio silence" from Whyte, as he faces trial in Scotland.
Mr Collings said there was firm evidence that he was currently on bail somewhere in England, but it was believed his address was not being revealed "for his own safety".
The QC told the court: "Mr Whyte has said he is an unpopular man in Scotland.
"It is absolutely plain he has been in England. He himself says he provided an English address for the Scottish proceedings and the purposes of bail."
In April 2013, a High Court master ruled against Mr Whyte prior to a trial after Ticketus argued that the former Rangers boss had "no real prospect" of mounting a successful defence.
The master ordered Mr Whyte to pay £17.6m.
Mr Whyte bid to overturn the ruling on appeal was rejected at the High Court in London in November 2013.
He will make a statement to the House of Commons about the future of negotiations on Monday.
Mr Brokenshire has three options: to transfer the powers from Northern Ireland to the UK government in Westminster, call the third Northern Irish election in 14 months, or extend talks into the summer until the parties compromise over thorny issues such as the Irish language act.
The first option, to return Northern Ireland to direct rule, is one of the most contentious.
Because of its history, Northern Ireland has a special type of government called power-sharing. Political parties representing different sections of the community have to share power, in a mandatory coalition, on matters such as housing, policing, prisons and transport.
If they can't agree, the Northern Ireland Assembly is suspended and UK government intervenes.
Direct rule is the mechanism for taking over the functions and powers of the government of Northern Ireland - the Northern Ireland Executive - and giving them to London.
Laws affecting Northern Ireland would be passed through the government department run by ministers in London, and the Privy Council.
Direct rule is viewed with suspicion by many in the nationalist community because it takes power out of local hands.
In the past, direct rule could be implemented by the government easily, just by triggering section one of the 1998 Northern Ireland Act.
However, since the 2006 signing of the St Andrews Agreement, which devolved further powers to the Northern Ireland Executive, direct rule can only be implemented if the UK government passes a law through the UK Parliament.
Direct rule was last used between 2002 and 2006 when Tony Blair was the British prime minister.
After five years of talks, eventually the DUP and Sinn Fein were able to form a power-sharing deal in May 2007.
Northern Ireland has been ruled directly from London in 32 of the 44 years since 1973.
There is some speculation, particularly from parties like the Irish nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), the third biggest party after the last election, that there could be a different form of direct rule from the one previously used to rule Northern Ireland.
In the St Andrews agreement, the UK government agreed not to implement direct rule without passing a law in the UK Parliament.
So to keep the nationalist parties on board there is speculation this will be "limited" direct rule, where civil servants take over responsibility for the day-to-day running while the UK government only passes legislation for important bills, such as the budget for Northern Ireland.
Many republicans in Northern Ireland are pushing for more input from the Irish government, so called "green direct rule".
However, recently the government ruled out any kind of joint authority.
The 67 navy veterans who served with the Arctic convoys were being given Ushakov medals for their role supplying the Eastern front.
But the ceremony was delayed when officials realised the personalised medals were still in London.
Each Ushakov medal is individually numbered with a recipient's name on it.
The medals intended for Wednesday's ceremony at City Hall had the names of other veterans inscribed on them for a forthcoming ceremony with other UK veterans, but not the event in Cardiff.
Sergey Nalobin from the Russian Embassy in London, who was supposed to present the veterans with their medals, told those attending that the correct medals were on their way to Cardiff in a diplomatic car.
Veterans were urged to wait to collect their medals, although those who could not stay have been promised that they will receive them in the near future.
On Tuesday, 11 veterans received their medals at a ceremony at Bodelwyddan Castle, Denbighshire.
The Sunday Telegraph suggested the inquiry was to abandon examining allegations the former Labour MP abused victims between the 1950s and 1980s.
More than 30 complainants are due to give evidence against Lord Janner, who died in December.
The inquiry has faced various setbacks including the departure of two senior lawyers and three chairwomen.
The newspaper claimed Lord Janner's son, Daniel Janner, a QC, had been told by a source the investigation into allegations his father was a paedophile would be discontinued.
It quoted Mr Janner as saying: "A wholly reliable source has informed me the strand into my father is to be dropped".
But an inquiry spokesman said: "It is not being dropped."
Lord Janner, who was an MP in Leicester for nearly 30 years, died shortly after a judge had ruled that he was not fit to stand trial for alleged child sex offences.
The family believes Lord Janner is innocent and that the 33 men and women who have accused Lord Janner have fabricated their accounts.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse was set up in 2014 to examine whether public bodies, including the police, in England and Wales had failed in their duty to protect children from sexual abuse.
It is investigating claims of abuse involving "well-known people" with one specific strand looking into allegations made against Lord Janner.
The inquiry has seen three of its chairwomen step down in the last two years.
It faced a further setback on Thursday when Ben Emmerson QC, the most senior lawyer working for the inquiry, resigned after saying he was no longer the "right person" for the role.
His colleague Elizabeth Prochaska, the second most senior lawyer on the team, had stepped down on 15 September.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she still has confidence in the inquiry.
Police were called on Wednesday night to the city's south side after a gang ambushed the vigil.
Among the victims was the mother of the 20-year-old dead woman whom mourners had gathered to remember.
Last year the Illinois city recorded 762 homicides, according to police records.
Police spokesman Ron Gaines said the 12-year-old girl suffered a bullet-graze wound to her head, and is currently in hospital in stable condition.
"Another gang saw them on social media and came out and shot up the memorial," community activist Jedidiah Brown told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"No regard for life, they shot up anybody who was there."
A 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman are in hospital in a serious condition after suffering gunshot wounds, Officer Gaines said.
The other victims, ranging in age from 17 to 43, are in a stable condition.
No arrests have yet been made.
The attack came hours after President Donald Trump threatened to "send in the Feds" if Chicago officials are unable to stop the "carnage" of gun violence.
It is not clear what type of federal intervention Mr Trump had in mind for the city of 2.7 million people.
So far in 2017, 43 people have been killed in Chicago, according to the Chicago-Sun Times. | Japanese stocks were up more than 0.8% on Wednesday after the country posted better-than-expected growth for the three months to March.

The 11-4 favourite and defending champion finished ahead of Pallasator in second and Sheikhzayedroad in third.
Trained by Michael Bell, five-year-old Big Orange took an early lead and won by over a length at Glorious Goodwood.
"He wears his heart on his sleeve. He's a big strong galloper and he's got stronger since last year and can sustain top speed," said Spencer.
"I always wanted to be leading or sat second, but he got on with it and put them to the sword."
On day three of five at the annual Goodwood Festival, the race took place in wet and gloomy conditions.
But Big Orange led from the off, becoming the first winner of back-to-back Goodwood Cups since Double Trigger in 1997 and '98.
Cornelius Lysaght, BBC racing correspondent
"We usually think of Jamie Spencer as a jockey that prefers to hold up his mount, and consequently he takes more flak than most because that style inevitably doesn't always work out.
"But the joint-champion jockey of 2007 is very effective when in front too, as here when he judged the whole race to perfection, and though others threw down some obviously strong challenges there was always room for manoeuvre to see them off.
"Big Orange, who continues to improve with age, ran a cracker in last year's Melbourne Cup, and let's hope he might go back to try to become the first GB winner in November."
Earlier, would-be Olympic eventing rider Izzy Taylor won the Magnolia Cup charity flat-race on Alketios.
Taylor was ruled out of competing in Rio earlier this month because of an injury to her horse Allercombe Ellie.
"It was absolutely phenomenal," said Taylor. "From my point of view, and what I do, which is 10 or 12 minutes of galloping, it's over in a blink of an eye.
"It's very different to Rio, but it's a good thing to be doing and hopefully raising some money for charity."
Earlier, Frankie Dettori moved closer to earning his 3,000th British winner by claiming the Richmond Stakes with Mehmas.
Dettori, 45, is now just five wins short of the milestone.
"I don't think I will get there this week," said the Italian, who is booked to ride at nine more races at this year's Goodwood Festival.
"I will get there when I get there, it's not important."
Jockey Aidan O'Brien and trainer Ryan Moore claimed the British Stallion Studs Maiden Fillies' Stakes with 10-11 favourite Rhododendron, who earned quotes of around 20-1 for next year's Qipco 1000 Guineas.
Elsewhere, Mark Johnston secured his third winner of the meeting as 8-1 shot Bear Valley took the Telegraph Nursery, while You're Hired was a 9-1 winner of the Exchange Stakes for Amanda Perrett and Martin Dwyer.
The concluding Tatler Stakes went to the Kevin Ryan-trained Laughton (13-2) in the hands of Shane Gray.

The Tour heads through Yorkshire on 5 and 6 July, before moving south for a third stage, finishing in London.
The race last visited the UK in 2007, when London hosted a prologue ahead of a road stage from the capital to Canterbury, attracting two-million spectators.
Not long ago the idea Yorkshire could host the Tour de France may have seemed fanciful in the extreme.
The region faced serious international competition from the likes of Barcelona, Berlin, Venice and Scotland.
So how did Yorkshire persuade the French to bring the Tour to the north of England?
Much of the credit must go to the tourism body Welcome To Yorkshire. Among the many tactics they employed to sway the tour's organisers in favour of Yorkshire was a stunning promotional film highlighting the dramatic Yorkshire landscape.
Yorkshire beat off the challenge of bids from Florence and Edinburgh to host the prestigious event.
However, Edinburgh remains in the running to host the Grand Depart at a future date.
It will be the fourth time the Tour has visited Britain after previous visits in 1974 and 1994.
Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, hosted the 2010 Grand Depart, while the 2012 race started in Liege in Belgium and next year's 100th race will begin in Corsica.
Full details of the route will be announced at a news conference in Leeds and Paris on 17 January.
Leeds will host a festival of cycling and the arts to coincide with the arrival of the Tour.
British Cycling president Brian Cookson said: "Like every other cycling fan, I am thrilled the world's biggest bike race is coming back to this country.
"The huge numbers who turned out to support the 2007 Grand Depart and the London 2012 road races show the passion we have for cycling.

"I'm sure Yorkshire will give the 2014 Tour de France a welcome which will stand out in the race's rich history."
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, the agency behind the county's bid, said: "Today is a proud day for everyone involved in the bid and the county as a whole.
"We are honoured that the race organisers have selected Yorkshire to be the host location of the 2014 Grand Depart.
"It will mean that, less than two years after hosting the Olympics, the British public can look forward to another of the world's biggest sporting events coming to the country.
"I am in no doubt they will come to Yorkshire in their millions, lining the length and breadth of the route to cheer on the champions of world cycling and our home grown British heroes."

Race director Christian Prudhomme added: "Since the resounding success of the Grand Depart in London in 2007, we were very keen to return to the United Kingdom.
"Bradley Wiggins's historic victory last July and the enormous crowds that followed the cycling events in the streets of London during the Olympic Games encouraged us to go back earlier than we had initially planned."
Property advisors, Harper Dennis Hobbs judged 1,000 shopping districts on how well the store mix suited local needs.
They also looked at vacancy rates and the numbers of "undesirable" shops such as pawnbrokers or betting shops.
Cambridge moved up this year's rankings and was rated the UK's most vibrant retail centre.
"Cambridge has seen more and more retailers move in and it's very much on the radar. It's on the Chinese tourist bus scene. There's a demand for luxury retail there," said Jonathan De Mello head of retail consultancy at Harper Dennis Hobbs.
"It's on the hit list now for many retailers."
Two London locations, Westfield and Knightsbridge were ranked in second and third place; with 17 of the top 50 most vital centres located in the capital.
Harper Dennis Hobbs last published their "vitality" rankings in 2014 when Westfield, London topped the list and Dudley, West Midlands was ranked bottom.
The firm said in recent years quality brands had gravitated towards a few very strong shopping districts, because the internet meant they could trade from fewer locations. Many of the bottom 50 ranked centres represented Britain's poorest areas, the firm said.
"There's definitely a geographical divide. The most vital centres are all in a ring around the London area apart from a few exceptions like Harrogate," said Mr De Mello.
"The least vital are principally in the north-west, north-east and Scotland. We've seen some strong declines in those centres for wider macro-economic reasons."
Across the whole country there had been a 2.7% increase in the proportion of "value" stores , including charity shops, in the past five years, Harper Dennis Hobbs said.
There was a 1.6% increase in the proportion of "undesirable" shops, which they defined as encouraging debt or addiction, including betting shops, pawnbrokers, pay-day loan shops, e-cigarette shops and bingo halls.
In the least vibrant retail location, Shields Road in Byker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, almost a fifth of retail floor space is vacant and the High Street is dominated by betting shops and money lenders, according to Harper Dennis Hobbs.
Harper Dennis Hobbs has expanded the rankings this year to include smaller town centres with a minimum of 40 shops.
The firm suggests that the locations with highest scores, whether they are large city centres or small town high streets, are places brands might choose to target when considering opening new branches.
Navitus Bay proposes building up to 218 turbines off the Dorset and Hampshire coast and west of the Isle of Wight.
The company has said the wind farm could generate enough electricity to power up to 790,000 homes each year.
Campaign groups have expressed concern about the visual impact on the Dorset coast, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
David Lloyd, a member of Challenge Navitus, said the consultation was "a complete waste of time" and described it as a "box ticking exercise".
"They hired out a church hall in Swanage from 9am to midday, when most people are at work," he said.
"There were no displays, just two people and chairs."
He said the proposed wind farm was planned for a busy shipping area, would disrupt migrating birds and would have a negative visual impact on the area.
Charlie Sanderson, an artist who lives in Swanage, organised a public protest against the wind farm in January which attracted hundreds of people for and against the scheme.
She said: "It would be an eyesore and destroy the beauty of the area for the profit of a few foreign companies.
"It's never going to be acceptable in the location that's been proposed.
"It would kill birds and dolphins and disturb them so they wouldn't come to this area any more."
Navitus Bay project director Mike Unsworth said: "Navitus Bay is committed to communicating honestly and openly with members of the public to ensure that they are given as much information as possible about the proposed wind park...
"We are still listening and will continue to act on the feedback we receive. We would therefore encourage as many people as possible to come to these sessions to hear more about our proposals and to make their views known."
Navitus has also announced a shortlist of three local ports - Poole, Portland and Yarmouth - which would host the wind park's operations and maintenance functions.
The company estimates its operation and maintenance base would create 160 jobs annually.
The three-hour drop-in sessions will be held in eight different locations across the region.
Details can be found on the Navitus Bay website.
Mae gorchmynion diogelu FGM yn gwahardd merched sydd mewn perygl o'r arferiad rhag cael eu cymryd y tu allan i'r DU.
Mae ffigyrau sydd wedi dod i law'r NSPCC yn dangos nad oes un achos o orchymyn llys wedi bod yng Nghymru i gymharu gyda 77 yn Lloegr rhwng Mehefin 2015 - Gorffennaf 2016.
Mae'r NSPCC wedi dweud nad oes gan FGM "unrhyw le mewn cymdeithas."
Mae torri organau rhywiol yn anghyfreithlon ym Mhrydain ers 1985 ac mae'r arferiad yn cael ei wneud yn aml am resymau crefyddol a diwylliannol mewn rhai cymunedau.
Gallai unrhyw un wneud cais am orchymyn diogelu yn erbyn FGM ers 2015, mae hyn yn rhoi hawl i'r llys ddiarddel dogfennau teithio i atal unrhyw ferch rhag teithio dramor.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran elusen Women's Aid: "Mae angen dangos agwedd gryfach tuag at gefnogi'r gwasanaethau arbenigol a thuag at ferched sydd yn cael eu heffeithio gan FGM.
"Er bod mesurau mewn lle yn gyfreithiol, mae cyn lleied o bobl sydd wedi cael ei herlyn yng Nghymru yn dangos bad angen ymrwymiad cryfach."
Dywedodd pennaeth yr NSPCC, John Cameron, bod FGM yn enghraifft o "gam-drin plant" ac yn erbyn y gyfraith.
"Mae'n hanfodol i bawb ddeall bod FGM yn cael effaith fawr ar y dioddefwr," meddai.
Mae llefarydd ar ran y swyddfa Gartref wedi ymateb drwy ddweud: "Mae FGM yn broses dreisgar na ddylai unrhyw ferch fynd drwyddo.
"Mae'r gyfraith sy'n ymwneud gyda FGM wedi cryfhau. Mae 'na gynlluniau yn bodoli i godi ymwybyddiaeth o FGM a'r mesuriadau cyfreithiol i daclo'r broblem. Mae hyn yn golygu cydweithio gyda'r Heddlu a mudiadau cymdeithasol," meddai.
Ymateb Heddluoedd Cymru:
Dywedodd Heddlu Gwent: Nad oedden nhw wedi gwneud cais am unrhyw un o'r mesurau diogelwch FGM, oherwydd bod y mesurau diogelwch sydd mewn lle ganddyn nhw yn barod yn golygu "nad oedd angen y gorchmynion amddiffyn penodol yma" arnyn nhw.
Dywedodd Heddlu'r Gogledd: Fel arfer gwneir cais gan yr unigolyn dan sylw neu gan "berson arall perthnasol" ac nid yr heddlu.

Lara Clarke, an amateur baker from Brownhills, West Midlands, has joined a worldwide collaboration of bakers.
The group plans to post pictures of their cakes online in time for 31 July - the birthday of the author and her fictional creation Harry Potter.
Other cakes include the Weasley's flying car and the Hogwart's library.
Ms Clarke said the chocolate bust of Harry was life-sized.
The amateur baker whose previous creations include a Land Rover and Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Jennifer Lawrence, said she met her fellow baking enthusiasts online.
Mark Stephens, 44, attacked Rita Stephens, 67, at their home in Pencoed on 19 June 2015 after a drinking session when she criticised the way he ran the family furniture firm.
He told Swansea Crown Court he "snapped" after an argument over business debts.
He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 20 years.
The court was told Ms Stephens had 38 wounds and prosecutor Roger Thomas QC described the murder as "vicious and brutal".
"Mrs Stephens was a widow, a small, frail lady," he said.
"He claims to have little or no recollection at all of what happened after coming home, falling asleep and hearing his mother say 'get out'.
"There was no respect for his mother, dead or alive, and no thought for other members of his family."
Stephens told his family his mother was "sick in the toilet" when they phoned to check on her.
He told the court: "In my head I'm thinking 'I've lost everything because of you' and I stood up and we grappled and I snapped."
Stephens admitted manslaughter but denied murder.
Mr Justice David Holgate said: "You have shown only self pity for the situation you have found yourself in.
"From your evidence in court it's plain you still show no remorse at all for having killed your mother."
A statement from Ms Stephens' family said: "Rita was our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and aunt.
"She was a matriarch of the family and we will not allow the tragedy that has befallen us to break our family spirit. The family are united in grief for the loss of a beautiful person."
The state has been forced into the arrangement to "avoid overloading its own power lines", according to the Los Angeles Times.
The situation doesn't necessarily mean we are "throwing money away", says economist Severin Borenstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
"But it probably is an indication that there are some serious problems in the way we're running the grid and the way we're making investment decisions."
Why is this happening?
In 2015, California power plants generated about 15 times more electricity from solar sources than they did in 2010, according to the California Energy Commission.
And that doesn't include the thousands of individual solar panels installed in recent years.
The growth is thanks in part to laws that require half of the electricity sold to consumers to come from renewable energy sources by 2030.
About 60% of electricity generated in California came from natural gas in 2015.
Supply increased about 7% from 2010, after regulators - in part responding to a series of blackouts and energy problems in the early 2000s - approved more power plants.
The LA Times says California has a "glut of power".
Between 2010-15, residential energy consumption per capita in the US dipped.
Some experts say energy efficient light bulbs are one reason why.
California, where it tends to be warm and sunny, also has among the lowest per capita electricity consumption of any state in the country.
That is a problem. In extreme cases, production spikes can overwhelm power lines and end in power outages.
One response from grid operators has been to cut production from solar and wind producers, which they say are responsible for excess supply.
In 2016, about 1.6% of solar electricity generation was curtailed, according to the California Independent System Operator, which runs the state's electric grid and wholesale electricity market.
Renewable energy is sold using long-term contracts - and in real time on a regional wholesale market, where prices fluctuate based on supply and demand.
The price heads below zero on the wholesale market when there's too much supply. In those instances of "negative pricing" companies pay other firms to take their power.
Solar turns wholesale price of electricity in California negative
In some cases, a utility or other company has already paid for the power at a higher price but doesn't need it.
In other cases, it is more expensive for the solar power company to stop production than it is to pay a firm in another state to take the electricity because of how their tax benefits are structured.
The examples of negative pricing are rare but increasing. They occurred in more than 5% of five-minute market intervals in 2016, up from about 4% the year before, according to CAISO.
Yes. The growth of renewable energy has led to negative pricing in Texas, which has a lot of wind power, in the UK and other parts of Europe, including Germany.
Not really.
California households pay some of the highest electricity bills in the nation. Those reflect higher prices negotiated in the long term renewable contracts as well as fees assessed to pay for new gas and solar plants.
What's more, if utilities have to pay other firms to take their power, it cuts into profits - a cost that eventually gets passed on to ratepayers, says Professor Borenstein of the Haas School of Business.
Customers of utilities that get paid to take the power may be benefiting, according to the LA Times. And big companies with more flexible electricity packages may also be able to take advantage of the situation, says economist James Bushnell, a professor at UC Davis.
One option is to change the way tax subsidies for renewable energy work, so that firms don't have as much incentive to keep their plants running at full capacity when the power isn't needed.
Another option would be to make the retail market more flexible. Then families could opt to charge phones, electric cars and the like when electricity is cheapest.
"Economists for a really long time have said let's make retail rates reflect wholesale prices," says Lucas Davis, a professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. "Now I think is a great time for economists to renew that push."
Energy consumption is changing and the growth of renewable energy, especially solar, has left the market in turmoil. Some hope investments will lead to technology that stores energy more effectively. But in the meantime negative prices are one sign of the ways the market is changing.
"All these things started when there were very small amounts of renewables," says Mr Bushnell of UC Davis. "The idea that we would have such a massive quantity that we would want to dump it, wasn't really thought through."
It is thought that one person has been injured in the incident, which occurred in the village of Helmsdale.
The alarm was raised at about 16:30 on Saturday.
Three fire crews from Helmsdale, Golspie and Dunbeath were sent to the scene.
Delegates from 70 nations are expected to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict.
Palestinians have welcomed the meeting but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who is not attending - says the conference is "futile".
The last round of direct peace talks collapsed amid acrimony in April 2014.
Israel and the Palestinians have been invited to hear the conclusions of the meeting, but not to participate in the summit itself.
It comes at a time of tension between Israel and the international community after the UN passed a resolution last month denouncing Israel's settlement activity on occupied land.
Israel accused the Obama administration of engineering the motion and enabling it to pass by not using its power of veto in the UN Security Council.
The White House denied colluding to get the resolution passed.
Tensions have also risen over US President-elect Donald Trump's plans to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the most sensitive and complex issues of the entire conflict. The Palestinians view East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state but Israel proclaim the entire city as its capital.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told France 3 TV on Sunday he thought Mr Trump would not be able to make the move, but if he did, it would have "extremely serious consequences".
"One cannot have such a clear-cut, unilateral position. You have to create the conditions for peace."
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas warned on Saturday that such a move could "bury the hopes for a two-state solution".
There is deep alarm among participants at the conference that if President Trump does break with decades of US policy and move the embassy to Jerusalem, then conditions will be set for another upsurge in violence in the region, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.
In his speech to open the conference, French President Francois Hollande said the international community had to be reminded of its obligations to build peace.
"The naivety is to believe that the much-needed reconciliation between Israel and its neighbours can go forward without peace between the Israelis and Palestinians," he said.
"And the cynicism is to sink into the status quo, hoping the situation would find a natural solution as a result of all excesses."
The conference is being attended by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, as well as key European and Arab states.
Attendees are expected to discuss a draft statement calling on Israel and the Palestinians "to officially restate their commitment to the two-state solution" and avoid taking "unilateral steps that prejudge the outcome of final status negotiations".
A "two-state solution" of a Palestinian country alongside Israel has long been endorsed by both sides but there are sharply divergent visions as to the type of state which should emerge.
Israel rejects international involvement in the peace process, saying an agreement can only come through direct talks.
Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu has called the Paris meeting "a rigged conference" which Israel would not be bound by.
Prior to the conference, the US State Department said Secretary of State John Kerry would attend to try to ensure "whatever happens in this conference is constructive and balanced".
Israel is concerned that the conference might set the terms for a final agreement and seek to get it adopted at the UN, a move it feels would undermine future negotiations.
Despite years of on-off peace talks, major differences still separate the two sides.
Palestinians fiercely object to Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, territory it wants for a future state.
The settlements, home to about 600,000 Israelis, are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Israel says Palestinian incitement and violence, and a refusal to accept Israel as a Jewish state, are key obstacles to peace.
Since independence from the UK in 1966, Guyana has seen tense relations between its citizens of African and Indians. Fierce political rivalry between the two main ethnically-based parties has led to recurring instability. Corruption too remains a chronic problem.
Most of the country is covered in tropical rainforest and despite having rich reserves of bauxite, gold and timber, it has struggled to overcome poverty and attract investment to bolster its small economy. A century-old border dispute with Venezuela has recently been revived after the discovery of offshore oil reserves.

President: David Granger
Retired army general David Granger beat incumbent President Donald Ramotar by a narrow margin in the May 2015 election, ending 23 years of rule by the Indian-dominated People's Progressive Party.
He forged a multi-ethnic coalition of his Afro-Guyanese Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change, with a pledge to end the racial divisions that have dominated Guyana's politics since it gained independence in 1966.
"The time has come to end winner-take-all politics, corruption, nepotism and the squandering of our resources," he said.
Mr Granger's diverse career has included the military, journalism and politics. He has a degree in history and received military training in Nigeria, Brazil and the UK.
Guyanese newspapers are free to criticise the government, although journalists are apt to exercise self-censorship.
There were 295,200 internet users by November 2015 (via Internetworldstats).
Some key dates in Guyana's history:
1300s - Area is first inhabited by semi-nomadic Amerindian tribes, notably Warraus. Christopher Colombus sights Guyana in 1498.
1580 - The Dutch gain a foothold and set up trading posts. From 1620, the Dutch West India Company imports African slaves to work on its sugar plantations.
1780-1813 - Guyana changes hands between the Dutch, French and British.
1814 - Britain occupies Guyana during the Napoleonic Wars. By 1831, it is declared the Colony of British Guiana.
1834 - The abolition of slavery leads to indentured workers being brought in from India.
1889 - Venezuela lays claims to two-thirds of Guyana, west of the Essequibo river but international arbitration rules in favour of Guyana in 1899.
1953 - Britain suspends a new constitution and installs an interim administration after the Indo-Guyanese PPP party's success in the first free elections.
1960 - A new constitution provides full internal self-government but in 1964 a Labour revolt leads to racial strife and violent riots
1966 - Guyana gains independence from Britain
1978 - Jonestown massacre: Mass suicide by more than 900 members of the People's Temple religious sect led by Jim Jones.
2015 - Guyana's multiracial opposition coalition led by David Granger wins the general election ending the 23-year rule of the Indo-Guyanese PPP party.
Turnover was down from £203m to £199m, which the Newry firm said reflected exchange rate movements.
The company said it anticipated further growth in key markets as it launches new products this year.
Employment was up during the year and Norbrook now employs more than 2,000 people.
The business is owned by the family of the late Lord Ballyedmond.
During the year they appointed Liam Nagle as the firm's new chief executive.
Mr Nagle is an experienced corporate manager who ran the Dublin-based Sisk Group, one of the largest privately owned companies in Ireland.
The management of the business was also reinforced by the appointment of Richard Palmer who previously held a senior role at Novartis, the multi-national pharmaceutical group.
Mr Nagle said the results were in line with expectations and there is "a strong pipeline of new products under development".
Norbrook specialises in the development and manufacture of veterinary and animal health medicines.
It is one of Northern Ireland's biggest exporters and has doubled its sales over the past seven years.
A seven-year-old boy, who was hit by a falling sign, was among those needing medical attention.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
Storm Doris has caused serious problems across the region with roads shut, rail lines blocked, flights cancelled and shipping operations curtailed.
The seven-year-old was hit by a sign which flew off a building on Old Street in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
In Merseyside, a man, in his 60s, suffered back and pelvic injuries after a tree fell in Crosby and a woman was injured when her car was hit by a falling tree in Huyton, NWAS said.
A man on Carr Lane in Wigan was hit by some fencing and six others were injured after being blown off over.
Cheshire Police said it had received an "unprecedented" amount of calls.
The force said it had responded to more than 500 incidents relating to the storm including fallen trees and damage to buildings which had caused "significant debris" on the county's roads.
Attractions including Chester Zoo and Jodrell Bank were forced to close for the day.
Filming on the set of Coronation Street in Salford had to be rescheduled after "worsening weather conditions made outdoor scenes impossible", a spokeswoman for the ITV soap said.
An evening performance by Gerry Marsden at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton was also cancelled after part of the theatre roof was damaged.
Travel around the region affected:
Electricity North West said about 7,500 homes were left without electricity due to the storms.
Power has since been restored to 5,000 homes and work is being carried out to restore supplies to the remainder.
More than 400 homes were affected in Cheshire after high winds damaged an overhead power cable in Poynton and 219 homes in Lower Withington near Macclesfield also suffered blackouts.
In Lancashire, 154 properties in Longridge were without supplies and 256 homes in Horwich, Bolton were affected.
Part of Devonshire Road in Blackpool is closed after the roof of a Lidl store, which is currently under construction, blew off.
In addition to the high winds, there are two flood alerts in operation in Lancashire - on Earby beck and on the River Calder upper catchment.
The Met Office have rebranded Doris a "weather bomb" after the system underwent what is called "explosive cyclogenesis".
Austria based Patson Daka put on a match-winning performance as he picked up a split pass before slotting the ball in the net in the 48th minute.
Daka, who stars for FC Liefering, had been tormenting the Guinea backline for the better part of the first half but had to wait until the second half to get his reward.
The hosts started on a fast-paced note that saw Zambia register the first threat as early as the second minute when Mohammed Camara appeared to trip Daka although no foul was given.
The urgency shown by the Zambians suggested they would score an early goal but the Guineans stood resolute at the back to repel the rampaging - though wasteful - junior Chipolopolo.
Daka was back on the frontline after Boyd Musonda set him up in the ninth minute but the Burkina Faso referee Juste Zio flagged him offside.
As the hosts pushed themselves, Guinea were comfortable soaking up the pressure.
Guinea were forced to defend yet again when Musonda failed to make the most of an inviting ball which ran across the face of goal only to be swept away by Camara.
The clearest opportunity for Zambia fell to Enock Mwepu whose header went skywards from a corner.
Coach Beston Chambeshi was getting impatient with his forwards and surprisingly threw in Emmanuel Banda for Conlyde Luchanga with two minutes to go to half time.
The two sides went into the break locked at 0-0, but the Zambians came back stronger.
They fired successive shots at the Guinea goal in the first three minutes of second half before finally getting their goal through Daka.
Guinea almost equalised in the 52nd minute when Momo Yassane's head tested Mangani's reflexes, but the hosts held on to record an opening victory.
Zambia will next face Mali on Wednesday.
Egypt and Mali drew 0-0 in the other Group A match on Sunday which means Zambia are early group leaders after the first round of games.
In Group B, Senegal will play Sudan while Cameroon will lock horns with South Africa on Monday.
All four semi-finalists will also qualify for the Fifa Youth World Cup in South Korea in May.
As her son clocked up his 500th career win, she said there is a "massive, massive opportunity" to grow the game in Scotland.
And after a hugely successful Davis Cup match in Glasgow, she wants to make the most of the game's popularity.
"But it needs to be done now," she said.
Speaking at a tennis road show in Dumfries, Ms Murray said: "I think there's a huge opportunity to grow the game in Scotland. There has been for five or six years now.
"Andy's been in the top five for about seven years and obviously has his grand slam titles, Jamie has a grand slam title. They are both playing Davis Cup - there was a huge atmosphere for the GB-USA Davis Cup match a few weeks ago."
She added: "There's no point in trying to provide a legacy after everything over, you have to start now.
"Andy is 27. He's still got a few years left in him I'm sure, but you never know at what point he's going to retire and when he retires I want to make sure the game is in good shape for the long term."
Jamie Murray, a doubles specialist, has previously spoken of his concern that there will be no legacy in Scotland when his brother retires.
The 2007 Wimbledon mixed doubles champion said the scenario would be a "tragedy" because many youngsters would like to play.
Ms Murray has been taking part in two days of Tennis on the Road sessions with young people in Dumfries and Galloway.
The events at schools across the region show parents, teachers and students how to deliver tennis lessons to children and adults.
She said: "What we are trying to do is build a workforce of people to create activity so that anyone who want to try it has a place to start."
Rachel Fee is on trial alongside her civil partner Nyomi Fee, accused of killing toddler Liam in March 2014.
Ms Fee told a jury she was not thinking rationally when she failed to get Liam help for a broken leg he had suffered the week before he died.
The couple blame that injury, and Liam's death, on another boy.
Rachel Fee said she feared Liam would be taken off her if she had taken him to hospital, admitting the toddler would still be alive if she had sought help for him.
Nyomi Fee, 28, and Rachel Fee, 31, deny killing the two-year-old at a house near Glenrothes in Fife on 22 March 2014, by repeatedly inflicting "blunt force trauma" to his head and body.
They also face charges they neglected Liam and abused two other children.
The pair blame one of the other children in their care for killing Liam.
The women, who are both originally from Ryton, Tyne and Wear, deny all the charges against them.
Giving evidence in her own defence, Rachel Fee said she would regret for the rest of her life her decision not to get emergency medical help for her two-year-old son's broken leg.
Under cross examination, the 31-year-old admitted that she had even threatened to leave her co-accused Nyomi Fee if she called an ambulance for the toddler.
Advocate depute Alex Prentice, prosecuting, suggested she had put her own interests before those of her child.
He asked her: "How does that square with rights, duties and responsibilities of a mother you told us about earlier?"
She answered: "I completely failed Liam."
Mr Prentice told her that little Liam must have been in "excruciating pain" with a broken thigh bone.
Earlier, Ms Fee admitted that she repeatedly searched Google to find out if a broken bone could cause death and if married lesbians could share a cell if they were jailed for neglect.
She told the court she felt "really bad" that she had spent about three hours on the day Liam died at riding stables looking after her horse.
She came home at about 18:20 to have drinks and a takeaway meal with Nyomi.
Rachel Fee told how she heard Nyomi shouting her name repeatedly from Liam's bedroom and ran in to see her son "all white" being lifted out of his buggy by her partner.
Her defence QC Brian McConnachie asked her: "Can you remember how you reacted?" she said: "Yes. I think I fell to the floor. He wasn't breathing."
She said she went to the hallway where the other child was and he put his head down.
She said: "I knew by the look on his face he'd done something. Just done something.
"I was feeing completely distraught, devastated. I didn't know what was happening, didn't know what to do - so many different emotions."
She said she was aware that her son was not breathing and asked the older child what he had done.
Ms Fee told the court: "I said: 'You've strangled him or suffocated him haven't you?' and he said: 'Yes'."
Rachel Fee denied the prosecution's claim that she and Nyomi had delayed calling the ambulance to allow them to hide a makeshift cage in which they allegedly imprisoned one of two older children they were looking after.
She told the jury that the boy she accused of strangling Liam had been responsible for sexually assaulting the toddler, giving him a head injury and breaking his leg.
She claimed she did nothing about the alleged assaults because she was scared social services would take the children away from her.
Ms Fee also denied the allegations from the other children of abuse spanning a two-year period.
She denied forcing them to take cold showers as punishment for wetting the bed, tying one in a cage and tying the other to a chair at night in a room full of pet rats and snakes.
The trial at the High Court in Livingston continues.
The 65-year-old was found with serious injuries in Ardbeg Street on Saturday night.
He was taken to the Victoria infirmary but later died from his wounds.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said officers were following a "positive line of inquiry".
Born in Crowborough, East Sussex, Dr Sellers began working for the US space agency as a scientist in 1982 before joining its astronaut corps in 1996.
The climate expert made three Space Shuttle flights to the International Space Station, between 2002 and 2010.
Nasa said Dr Sellers, who was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in 2015, died in Houston on Friday.
British astronaut Tim Peake - who completed a six-month mission on the International Space Station in June - tweeted that he was "saddened to hear the loss" of Dr Sellers, and added he was a "true inspiration".
Dr Sellers became a naturalised US citizen in 1991, making him eligible for the space programme.
In January this year, he wrote a op-ed article for the New York Times about grappling with the meaning of the earth's fragility after learning he had terminal cancer.
He later shared an astronaut's perspective on climate change in Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary, Before the Flood.
When given a terminal cancer diagnosis, many people draw up a "bucket list" - a series of places or activities they want to experience before they die. Piers rejected such an idea; he simply wanted to keep on working at his job for as long as he could. After all, that job had already afforded him the opportunity to do and see things most others could only dream of.
Ever thoughtful, supremely engaging - it was always a pleasure to talk to him, whether that was about his passion for Earth science or the exhilaration he felt doing a spacewalk (his six spacewalks are the most to be completed by any Briton).
Having left Britain to become a US citizen in order to pursue his ambition of being an astronaut, you might think he had left thoughts of his country of birth far behind. But whenever we spoke by phone there was always a long preamble in which he would first want to hear news of the UK, its people and politics.
We use trite sayings on such occasions like "he had a great innings" - and he did. But with Piers there was a sense also that he was at the start of something big with his newfound voice in climate advocacy. Very definitely there was some unfinished business, and I strongly urge you to read his extraordinary op-ed article in the New York Times last January.
In a statement, Nasa administrator Charles Bolden paid tribute to Dr Sellers, the deputy director of the agency's sciences and exploration division in Greenbelt, Maryland.
"Piers was dedicated to all facets of exploration," he said.
"His curiosity and drive to uncover new knowledge was generously shared with audiences around the world, both from space and in wide travels to reach as many people as possible with an essential understanding of our fragile planet."
Many of the scientist's former colleagues have paid tribute to Dr Sellers online.
US astronaut Garrett Reisman - who flew with Dr Sellers on a 2010 Atlantis Space Shuttle mission - shared a picture of the pair on the International Space Station.
He wrote that the Edinburgh-educated scientist "was the best of us".
Former ISS assembly manager Beth Moses shared a picture of Dr Sellers on a spacewalk in 2002, when he helped install trusses on to the space station, and added the scientist was filled with "eternal optimism and laughter".
Dr Sellers earned a degree in ecology from the University of Edinburgh and a doctorate in biometeorology from the University of Leeds before moving to the US.
University of Leeds Vice-Chancellor Sir Alan Langlands said: "He cared deeply about our fragile planet and the people who inhabit it - his outstanding work and our fond memories of him will continue to inspire future generations."
In 2002, Dr Sellers became only the third Briton to go into space - after Helen Sharman and Michael Foale - when he completed an 11-day mission to the International Space Station.
His journey aboard the shuttle Atlantis saw him carry out three spacewalks to help continue the assembly of the ISS.
Dr Sellers's next flight was aboard Discovery in 2006, a mission designed to test improved safety measures following the 2003 Columbia disaster, in which seven astronauts died.
In May 2010, Dr Sellers boarded Atlantis for a second time to deliver a Russian-built module to the space station.
In total, he logged hundreds of hours in space on his three shuttle flights, including six spacewalks, according to his Nasa biography.
In 2011, he was appointed an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List.
In July this year, Dr Sellers was awarded Nasa's Distinguished Service Medal, the agency's highest honour.
He will be joined by Austin MacPhee, the Northern Ireland assistant coach.
The 30-year-old Cathro has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Tynecastle and will take charge of Saturday's Scottish Premiership match at Rangers.
He replaces Robbie Neilson, who left last week to take over at MK Dons, along with assistant Stevie Crawford.
New assistant MacPhee, 37, had been in contention for the role of Performance Director at the Scottish Football Association, but has elected to join Cathro at Tynecastle.
He will continue to be a member of Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill's backroom staff, combining that role with his new position at Hearts.
Cathro had been an assistant coach at St James' Park since June 2015, serving Steve McClaren and then Rafa Benitez.
"This is a step I've wanted to take, one I've prepared for and I think the circumstances are perfect," he told Hearts TV.
"What will the fans get? A team that wants to win. A team that when the first whistle goes - irrespective of the circumstances, the opponent, home, away, rain, sun, no matter what - when the first whistle goes we will expect to win.
"And we will work to find a way in which we believe that we can win.
"We're going to want to use the ball, we're going to want to be incredibly energetic, we'll want to attack and score goals. We want to be aggressive and be as close to the opponent's goal as we possibly can.
"We'll make it an exciting place to come. Will it always be perfect? No it won't. But everybody will be at maximum all the time. It could be an enjoyable ride."
During his time as manager of Dundee United, Hearts director of football Craig Levein employed Cathro as a youth coach.
Cathro worked with the academy at Tannadice for four years before a move to Portugal with Rio Ave, where he was assistant to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
The duo then moved to Valencia, steering them to a fourth place finish in La Liga before Cathro returned to the UK with Newcastle.
"We are delighted to have secured the services of Ian Cathro and are confident he is the ideal candidate to take our club forward," said chairwoman Ann Budge.
"He is widely regarded as one of the brightest young coaches in the game and has amassed a great deal of experience both at home and abroad.
"He may only be 30 years of age but we are convinced that he has all the tools required to be a successful head coach."
Hearts sit third in the Scottish Premiership after Saturday's 2-2 draw at Ross County, two points behind Rangers.
Benitez will not move to replace Cathro immediately, with the Newcastle boss saying: "I would like to wish Ian the very best success with his first head coach role.
"When a coach has the opportunity and the desire to progress his career in management, it is always very important to allow them the freedom to move on and develop themselves."

The employers' organisation is warning that a skills shortage is "threatening to starve economic growth".
"Firms are facing a skills emergency now," said CBI deputy director-general Katja Hall.
In the Budget, the government announced a levy on large employers to fund new apprenticeships.
"By developing the skills of young people, businesses can boost their productivity, employees can harness their talent and we can reach our potential as world beaters," said Skills Minister Nick Boles of the plans for a training levy.
The annual CBI/ Pearson Education and Skills survey, based on 310 firms employing 1.2 million people in the UK, showed that more than two-thirds of businesses are expected to need more high-skilled staff.
But more than half feared they would not be able to find enough staff with the required skills.
"The government has set out its stall to create a high-skilled economy, but firms are facing a skills emergency now, threatening to starve economic growth," said Ms Hall.
"Worryingly, it's those high-growth, high-value sectors with the most potential which are the ones under most pressure. That includes construction, manufacturing, science, engineering and technology.
"The new levy announced in the Budget may guarantee funding for more apprenticeships, but it's unlikely to equate to higher quality or deliver the skills that industry needs. Levies on training already exist in the construction sector where two-thirds of employers are already reporting skills shortages."
The survey also highlighted concerns about the need for better careers advice to help young people understand more about the jobs likely to be available.
More than three-quarters of firms are not satisfied with the careers advice for pupils in school, according to the survey.
"How can young people decide what type of work they want to do in the future - when the careers advice they receive is simply not up to scratch?", said CBI director-general John Cridland.
Mr Cridland recently set out a series of proposals for how employers would like to change the education system in England.
It included scrapping GCSEs and putting more emphasis on vocational skills at A-level.
The annual survey found almost a third of employers had arranged remedial classes to help recruits with basic skills.
More than a third of employers had found problems with the literacy and numeracy skills of school leavers. Almost half had concerns about a lack of communication skills.
There was also a demand from industry for better language skills.
Rod Bristow, UK president of education firm Pearson, said the survey showed that firms were struggling to find enough staff with the necessary science, technology, engineering and maths skills.
"Better skills are not only the lifeblood of the UK economy - as fundamental to British business as improving our infrastructure, technology and transport links - they are also critical to improving young people's life chances, of enabling them to be a success in life and work."
Mr Bristow said the further education sector was a vital part of teaching technical skills, but it "sits on the edge of a funding precipice".
Last week's Budget set out the government's plan to create a further three million apprenticeships.
There would be "an apprenticeship levy on all large firms", Chancellor George Osborne announced.
"While many firms do a brilliant job training their workforces, there are too many large companies who leave the training to others and take a free ride on the system," said Mr Osborne.
A BIS spokesperson said: "The apprenticeship levy puts employers back in the driving seat; they are now in charge of how apprenticeship budgets are spent and they can build the skills base they need for their future success.
"Investing in apprenticeships means young people will have the skills they need, giving them the very best chance to succeed in today's labour market."
Labour's shadow skills minister Liam Byrne said: "This is a stark warning from British business about the government's plans for skills.
"Once again the Tories have opted to merely pay lip service to our growing skills crisis rather than focus on what business needs - high quality and specific skills provision to drive our knowledge economy."

The 30-year-old Portugal forward scored his 324th Real goal in 310 games to overtake Raul's record.
The club had already considered Ronaldo the record holder as they credit him with a goal deflected off Pepe in 2010.
Ronaldo's official record-breaking strike came after an hour from just outside the box - either side of goals from Marcelo and Jese.
After scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Malmo last month, Real held a presentation to give Ronaldo a trophy for breaking the record.
The discrepancy dates back to 2010 when a Ronaldo free-kick was deflected in by Pepe.
La Liga considered it a Pepe goal but Real deemed it Ronaldo's - and hence have credited him with various scoring landmarks one strike before anyone else.
New York Cosmos striker Raul, who is retiring in November, was Real's record goalscorer, but took 741 games to score his 323 goals.
Wales forward Gareth Bale was substituted off at half-time of the Levante game for Lucas Vazquez as Real went top of the table.
Barcelona are behind them on goal difference after beating Rayo Vallecano 5-2.

These investors want the world's biggest publicly traded oil company to support the goal of a 2C global temperature limit.
Exxon Mobil is also being investigated for potential fraud by withholding information on the role of fossil fuels in driving up temperatures.
The company says that the shareholder resolutions are unnecessary, while the investigations by several states are "politically motivated."
For around a quarter of a century, a varied collection of climate activists and institutions concerned about rising temperatures have attempted to get Exxon Mobil to move forward on the issue of climate change.
This year, they believe the coalition attempting to force change on the issue, is the strongest ever assembled. Investors with at least $8tn under management have indicated they will support greater recognition of the climate change issue.
At the AGM here in Dallas, the company faces resolutions including one to appoint a board member who has a high degree of climate expertise.
One motion asks the company to support the goal of limiting warming to below 2 degrees in line with the Paris climate agreement. Another asks Exxon to disclose how resilient its investments would be if policy measures to restrict warming to 2 degrees were implemented.
This motion has a number of supporters including the Norwegian government's pension fund, the world's largest.
It's being co-sponsored by the Church Commissioners, who manage the Church of England's investment fund.
Their head of responsible investment says the board of Exxon Mobil should now recognise the new realities.
"It's a moment where Exxon really has to recognise that the world is changing," Edward Mason told BBC News.
"Climate change is real, the transition to a low carbon economy is real, and they need to get on board with this."
The shareholders' hopes of success have been boosted by a number of factors, including a growing number of institutional investors Schroders, AXA and Legal and General which have supported the proposal. They are also backed by the largest pension fund in the US, CalPERS.
The world's leading advisers to proxy voters, ISS and Glass Lewis, have also come out in favour of the resolution on climate risk disclosure. A group of 1,000 academics from leading institutions have written to support the resolutions.
Shareholder pressure has also been successful at other large oil companies, with BP and Shell both accepting resolutions to routinely report on their asset portfolio's resilience to climate change.
The board of Exxon Mobil are resolutely opposed to the motions on increased cognisance of climate change issues.
While the climate resolutions are non-binding on the company, many believe that if they are supported by a majority of shareholders, Exxon Mobil will have to make significant changes.
"I think they will have to change or die because you are going to get nation states demanding that they change," said Capuchin priest Fr Michael Crosby who has been attempting to get Exxon Mobil to change on this issue for 19 years.
Exxon can trace its origins back to 1870 when John D Rockefeller created the Standard Oil Company .
Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999 in a deal valued around $80bn. The combined value of the company in 2015 was $353bn, making it the world's most valuable, publicly traded oil company.
The company employs around 75,000 around the world.
The oil spill from the Exxon Valdez tanker in Alaska in 1989 was the biggest in US history until Deepwater Horizon in 2010.
In 2016, the Rockefeller foundation said it would eliminate its holdings in Exxon, saying the company had misled the public over climate change.
"The countries where they operate are going to say you can't do what you're doing and will tax them out of existence or what ever."
Exxon says that climate change is a "very real" issue for the company but believes the shareholders' resolutions are unnecessary. They say that since 2007 they have included a proxy price for carbon in all their forecasts, which essentially means they have been factoring in a likely cost of more restrictive CO2 policies.
"I think the 'change or die' comments are a little dramatic, Exxon Mobil spokesman Alan Jeffers told BBC News.
"The issue is an important one, climate change presents very real risks that need to be managed but so do energy requirements of the modern economy. So we see that as a dual challenge to continue to provide that energy that all of us depend on while also managing the risks of climate change."
As well as dealing with shareholder activism on the issue of climate change, Exxon is also facing a number of legal challenges on the same issue.
Over the last year though, a number of journalistic investigations have raised questions about when Exxon's researchers first knew about climate change and how much information they passed on to shareholders and the general public.
Attorneys General from New York, Massachusetts, California and the US Virgin Islands have launched investigations into Exxon to determine if they acted fraudulently.
The Virgin Islands investigation has particularly irked the company as it seeks to uncover links between Exxon and private organisations that may have been used to spread doubt about climate science, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
"If a company knew that climate posed serious risks but nonetheless sought to convince large numbers of consumers and investors that those risks were overstated, I think that is a serious matter for investigation," Carroll Muffett from the Centre for International Environmental Law.
"The reality facing the oil industry is that their situation is looking increasingly like the situation of the tobacco companies - and as much as they like to claim there are no parallels, there is more and more information coming to light that says there are parallels and they are real."
Exxon Mobil and their supporters have come out fighting on this question, decrying the investigations as an attack on freedom of speech.
"There is a pretty defined strategy to go back and try to paint us as some sort of big tobacco and we categorically reject that and it does not stand up to independent scrutiny," said Alan Jeffers, from Exxon.
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that the Virgin Islands investigation was "ridiculous", and said it was an "effort to punish Exxon for daring to hold an opinion on climate change that differs from that of radical environmentalists".

Officers said a 43-year-old had been picked up in a car and driven to Century Mill in Farnworth, Bolton at about 12:00 BST on Friday.
He was attacked by a group of men, police said, before being returned to Masefield Drive with serious injuries. He died four days later in hospital.
A 28-year-old man remains in custody for questioning.
Det Insp Cheryl Hughes, from Greater Manchester Police, appealed for information, adding: "We are determined to bring these violent criminals to justice.
"This incident happened in broad daylight - the offenders picked the victim up and then returned him with serious injuries to a residential area - so someone must have seen something."
The outgoing tenant of the flat in Walthamstow, east London, was testing the motion-activated camera, which he intended to use in his new home.
Jon Charter said it felt like "a complete betrayal".
Your Move Sterling & Co said the employee in question no longer worked for them.
The footage, recorded on Friday, shows a viewer walking ahead of the agent, who is at the door of the room where the camera is placed.
The agent is then seen coming back into the room, taking the bar of chocolate and putting it in his coat pocket.
Mr Charter said: "I set up the camera so that they would all be working when we moved to our new house.
"I got alerted by email that there was movement and sound in my flat and it starts recording remotely straight away.
"I then started to watch this and saw the theft. I felt it was a complete betrayal and wondered what else could have happened to others and myself previously."
He said the agent later apologised via text message, claiming that he had been suffering from dizziness and needed the sugar in the chocolate bar.
Manish Somani, director of Your Move Sterling & Co said: "We are very serious about the protection of our reputation and brand.
"Therefore as soon as we were made aware of this incident action was taken and the employee is no longer working for us.
"We have also apologised to both the tenant and landlord for this unfortunate incident. The landlord has fully accepted this apology and the tenant has accepted a payment as a goodwill gesture for both the chocolate bar and any inconvenience caused."
Two men have been arrested over the blast which happened at Bridge Point on Ardleigh Green Road in Hornchurch shortly after 17:00 GMT on Monday.
Firefighters said they had rescued 25 people as residents were evacuated from the building.
The arrested men, who both required hospital treatment, are being held on suspicion of arson.
London Ambulance Service said four people had been treated at the scene and taken to hospital, while a woman and a child trapped on the building's second floor had escaped down a fire brigade ladder.
A Havering Council spokesman said the explosion had happened in a ground-floor flat.
He said 41 properties had been evacuated and most residents went to a local McDonald's restaurant while alternative accommodation was found.
London Fire Brigade station manager Paul McClenaghan said: "Crews worked hard to get the fire under control and are now making efforts to ensure the structure of the building is safe.
"Firefighters will remain at the scene damping down any remaining pockets of fire for some time."
Police said road closures were in place and people were advised to avoid the area.
An agreement has been made to include them and Afghanistan in future plans.
At the meeting, the ICC also agreed the principle of a nine-team Test league, to be run over a two-year cycle, probably starting after the 2019 World Cup.
Decisions will be made at the next ICC board meeting in April.
In addition, after the controversy of the recent India-England series, the ICC has agreed in principle to use the decision review system in televised World Twenty20 matches from October.
The ICC has been discussing ways to revamp the Test structure for some time.
It is unclear if Ireland and Afghanistan would be able to play Tests straight away or would have to wait for the new structure of Test cricket to begin.
Ireland made their one-day international debut in June 2006 when they played England, while Afghanistan's maiden ODI was three years later.
Afghanistan's domestic four-day and Twenty20 competitions have now been granted first-class and List A status respectively, four months after Ireland's Inter-Provincial Championship became the first domestic event outside a Test-playing country to earn first-class status.

Glenburn Sports College, in Skelmersdale, has only 320 students in a school built for more than 1,000.
Lancashire County Council's Matthew Tomlinson said "we cannot justify keeping open a school with consistently poor results and low pupil numbers".
West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper who campaigned to save it said children in Skelmersdale had been "let down".
Consultation on the future of Glenburn Sports College began in October after figures showed the number of pupils had reduced by 54% since 2006.
The Labour MP said closing it was the "easy and cheap option that the county [council] has grabbed with both hands".
"The school has been improving but there was a sudden dip this last year and the council quickly swooped in and took the decision," she said.
"Even more concerning is the lack of clarity and commitment and support for existing pupils especially those taking their GCSEs."
Angela Roberts, a parent of one of the pupils, accused LCC of mismanagement and said it had "failed the children in the middle of their exams".
However, county councillor Mr Tomlinson, cabinet member for children, young people and schools, said the school had consistently poor results "in spite of a range of additional support" it has provided.
He also said the low pupil numbers "made it difficult for it to provide a broad and balanced education" and impacts on the school's finances and standards.
He added he was aware of how hard people campaigned for Glenburn to stay open "but the truth is that the school's difficulties go back many years and the situation hasn't improved despite the best efforts of everyone involved".
He said Ofsted inspectors have been very concerned about the school for years and if it did not close Glenburn, the Department for Education "would probably make us do so."
The school is due to close on 31 August 2016.
Pupils in years 7 and 9 will move to a different school in September while current Year 8 and Year 10 pupils will remain at the school until July 2016.

The total number of patients has risen to 64, making it the biggest outbreak of Mers outside the Middle East.
The person who died was a 75-year-old man who had been in a Seoul hospital alongside other sufferers.
More than 1,600 people have now been quarantined, in a bid to stop the spread of the virus.
Mers was first indentified in humans in 2012 and originated in the Saudi Arabia.
It is caused by the coronavirus and can cause fever, breathing problems, pneumonia and kidney failure.
Of the 14 new cases in South Korea, 10 were at the same hospital in Seoul.
All of the confirmed infections have taken place in healthcare facilities, officials said.
Medical authorities have been criticised for the way they have handled the outbreak.
Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon accused central government of not providing enough information to citizens about the virus.
But Health Minister Moon Hyung-pyo rejected the claim, saying such comments risked increasing public concern.
Mers has a death rate of 27%, according to the World Health Organization.
Be it the consolidation of companies, technological advances and even the future of the BBC, there will be lots happening.
Here are the 10 themes to look out for.
The big theme in the media business is the coming consolidation, usually between distributors and owners of content. In other words, those who own the pipes and those who tell the stories and ideas.
Why is this happening? It's simple. When there is such ferocious competition for eyeballs, the best way to ensure you reach big audiences is to own the delivery mechanism for reaching them.
The proposed (but far from certain) merger between AT&T and Time Warner fits into this theme, as does the (also far from certain) proposed deal between 21st Century Fox and Sky. Look out for Disney bidding for Netflix or Vice, and BT or Liberty bidding for ITV.
Consolidation also happens when you get sub-sectors that are highly populated while demand for their product is falling.
British newspapers fit this category very well. Fewer people are reading newspapers, yet there is (compared for instance to the US) a huge array of newspapers.
Expect, therefore, a few of them to be bought - perhaps the Daily Telegraph or Daily Express - and expect to hear more soon about the idea of the industry coming together to form a single advertising sales team.
Facebook and Google account for an ever-growing slice of digital advertising around the globe. Companies wholly dependent on digital advertising may therefore struggle to survive unless their cost bases are low.
The advertising industry is estimated at over $540bn (£440bn) annually. But the threats to it are growing, from "cord-cutting", whereby consumers ditch satellite and cable services for ad-free subscription services, to ad-blocking and widespread fraud, with concerns that many digital ads aren't seen by humans.
This was compounded by Facebook's admission that it had given advertisers false information about the videos seen on the social network.
All together, these pressures have damaged trust and confidence in this vast global industry. This year is going to be a tough one for many chief marketing officers.
I often wonder what philosopher AJ Ayer, who wrote the seminal Language, Truth and Logic in 1936, would have made of the phrase "post-truth politics".
I suspect he would have said plus ca change. And then he would have reminded us that whereas falsity comes by degrees, truth is absolute.
The idea that there are concrete facts we can agree on as a basis for civilised public conversation has taken a pounding of late. The rise of social media's echo chambers; growth in fake news; state propaganda broadcast in the West (whether Russian, Iranian, or Chinese); and the frenzied campaigns for Brexit and the White House were all threats to the truth.
In 2017 it will be incumbent on all those who believe in truths to prove both that such things exist, and that they are worth knowing.
World-class media only has a future if it is financially viable, and throughout the history of commerce, asking customers to pay for products they demand has been the surest guarantee of such viability.
Specialist publications from the Spectator to the Economist and the Financial Times have grown their subscriber bases by charging for digital access. So too have general publications like the Times and the New York Times.
If consumers recognise that quality costs and are willing to pay - which the growth of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime suggests is the case in television - 2017 could provide fresh cheer.
We should know in the coming weeks whether the second phase of the Leveson Inquiry will go ahead, and also whether Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act - which requires papers to bear the costs of legal action brought against them, even if they win - will become law.
Whatever happens, Britain's newspaper industry won't accede to what it sees as state regulation of the press without one hell of a fight.
It should never be forgotten that in many parts of the world, being a journalist is still a subversive act.
I reported recently that, according to Reporters sans Frontiers, 74 journalists died doing their jobs in 2016.
This year, whether that number goes up or down, journalists are certain to be murdered, taken hostage, and used as blackmail.
The sheer danger of reporting from some parts of the world will make those areas information vacuums.
Social media abhors an information vacuum, so our knowledge of places such as Raqqa will continue, unfortunately, to depend on the use of social media by militant groups.
One of the most remarkable stories of 2016 was Peter Thiel's war on Gawker. The Silicon Valley entrepreneur was outed as gay by the gossip and news website.
In response, he funded a legal action brought by former wrestling champion Hulk Hogan (real name Terrence Bollea), who was furious about the site publishing a sex-tape in which he starred.
The action was successful, in so far as Thiel and Bollea won, rendering Gawker bankrupt. Gawker Media, the parent company, was bought by Univision but gawker.com, the flagship site, was shut down.
In a piece for the New York Times, Thiel said he would do it again. Which raises the question: will other rich individuals who can finance such legal actions be encouraged to take on media organisations?
Perhaps encouraged by Donald Trump's disdain for the "mainstream media" (Thiel was a Trump supporter), and the rise of the "alt-right", it's just possible that free speech will come under attack in America as never before.
Already threatening to overtake Twitter in many key measures, from its user base to market value, the video messaging app's much anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO), scheduled for the spring, could value it between $20bn and $25bn.
There are thought to be well more than 10 million users in the UK already, and while Snapchat's growth among the under-30s gives it a unique appeal to advertisers, the really fascinating thing is how new forms of social media are changing our behaviour.
Teenagers across the country are sending each other videos - or "snaps" - several times a day. What is this doing to our sense of privacy, attention spans, and friendship circles? In 2017, we may begin to find out.
A new BBC chairman (or chairwoman) will be announced in the coming days. Whoever gets the role will need to lead a new governance structure, with the BBC Trust having been scrapped and regulatory oversight being passed to Ofcom.
With a new 11-year charter having come into force from 1 January, the BBC needs to find substantial savings, focus on "distinctive content" and compete with the new predators stalking the media jungle such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Aside from those challenges, managing the "Compete and Compare" strategy announced by director general Tony Hall in 2014, whereby many more programmes will be put out to tender rather than made in house, amounts to a radical rethink of the BBC's place within the industry and our culture more broadly.
The future of Channel 4 remains unclear. There has been talk of privatisation, moving to Birmingham or further north, and selling the Channel 4 offices on Horseferry Road in London. A private equity fund could soon offer to buy the broadcaster. But there have been few decisions, as yet.
The anxiety this has induced in staff at Channel 4 is considerable. Chief executive David Abraham and chief creative officer Jay Hunt showed, with their purchase of Great British Bake Off, that they have immense editorial ambition.
With over £1bn in revenues for the sixth year in a row, the channel's unique model, as a public broadcaster that is commercially funded, has worked well.
In 2017, the broadcaster should - finally - discover what, and where, it's future will be.
Aside from all of the above, there are countless other media trends, themes and stories that will flare up in 2017.
Will Adam Crozier move on from ITV, having achieved a turnaround? How many more Chinese people will spend most of their waking hours on WeChat, the remarkable app that has few equivalents in the West? And will digital technology help create a flourishing media sector across Africa, South America and Asia?
So 2017 will be very exciting across media. Watch this space.
Angela Whitworth, 43, is accused of killing 20-month-old Sarah Dahane on 16 May 2013 in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
The child was found dead after the family raised concerns about her welfare to police.
Ms Whitworth, who was arrested in Uganda on 9 March, was escorted to the UK overnight by Thames Valley Police officers, the force said.
She will appear at Oxford Crown Court on Wednesday.
John Bradford, 62, elephant manager at Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, was working with the 41-year-old female.
Patience suddenly moved, fatally injuring him, the zoo said.
She will not be put down, the zoo said. Recently, the zoo euthanised the herd's matriarch, Pinky, who had advanced kidney disease.
"This is a very sad day for the zoo family, as well as our community as a whole," Mike Crocker, director of the zoo, said in a statement.
The zoo said members of staff had kept a close watch on Patience and another female in the herd since Pinky's death.
Two other zoo employees were with Mr Bradford when he was killed, out of caution over Patience's history of aggression.
Officials cannot determine why the elephant, who had been at the zoo since 1990, moved suddenly at Mr Bradford.
"This has never happened before," Springfield city spokeswoman Cora Scott told the BBC.
"There are counsellors on hand for the park employees, as it is a pretty tight-knit family here."
Mr Bradford had worked at the zoo for 30 years, 25 as elephant manager.
The park remains open, though the elephant exhibit has been closed.
Jonathon Cudworth, of Northbourne, near Deal in Kent, said he and his wife Mariola, known as Mijka, were arguing after she was late home from work.
He told a jury he grabbed her by the neck to stop her pushing him, then put out his right hand, picked up a knife and stabbed her.
Mr Cudworth, 36, denies murdering his Polish-born wife, also 36, in April.
Canterbury Crown Court has been told Mr Cudworth killed Mijka because he feared she was going to leave him for another man.
He told the jury the argument started because she said she was having an affair and wanted to leave him.
Mr Cudworth said his wife started shouting at him and pushing him and he tried to get away by going into the kitchen but she followed him.
He said everything happened very quickly and after the stabbing he was shocked and was physically sick in the kitchen
He said he knew he had to move the body because his children were upstairs.
The prosecution alleges Mr Cudworth hid the body in a field in nearby Eastry and then reported his wife missing.
The trial continues.
Jonathon Leslie, 23, a St Andrews University student, was found with the decapitated bird in his car after being caught drink driving.
Leslie, from Aberdeen, was fined a total of £750 and banned from driving for a year.
He killed the bird on 10 September at Abbey Park in St Andrews.
The court heard geoscience and French student Leslie had been watching the Last Night of the Proms on TV with friends after drinking wine with his dinner.
The group, all students at St Andrews University, then decided to take candles and explore the derelict Abbey Park House mansion in the centre of the Fife town, claiming to be "interested in the architecture".
Fiscal depute Brian Robertson told Cupar Sheriff Court: "Without warning the accused was seen to seize hold of a pigeon that had taken flight as a result of being disturbed.
"He then pulled the head from the bird, causing its instant death. Police were contacted after security staff noticed the accused and others on CCTV.
"The accused admitted responsibility for it and appeared to believe he had done nothing wrong. He smelled strongly of alcohol and had been driving."
Defence lawyer Gregor Kelly said Leslie's father had flown in from Azerbaijan - where he works as an oil industry executive - to support his son at the hearing.
Mr Kelly added: "It was an impulsive act. It was a moment of bravado and nothing more that he said he would eat it as it would have been a waste otherwise.
"He deeply regrets the suffering he caused to the bird and hopes the events of this sorry evening don't impinge on his future career."
The fire at Siteserv on the Vale Business Park in Llandow has been contained but continues to burn.
It is the second fire in less than a month after another Siteserv building nearby was accidentally destroyed.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the demolition was needed to access and douse burning waste.
A statement said the operation was "challenging and complex" and had been prolonged by the nature and volume of the burning material in the building, by the strength of the building structure, challenging site conditions and the need to protect the environment.
It added: "Steady progress is being made and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Natural Resources Wales and the recycling company which owns the site, Siteserv, are working closely together to ensure that the fire is extinguished as rapidly as the constraints allow."
Health authorities say the risk to public health associated with the fire is low.
At one point nearly 90 firefighters were at the scene when the fire broke out on 26 November.
Investigations into the cause of the blaze are continuing.
An annular eclipse happens when the moon is farther away from the Earth than during a total eclipse.
The result is a bright circle of sunshine surrounding a dark, shadowy core.
The best views were seen in Tanzania, where the event lasted about three minutes.
The eclipse could also be viewed in parts of Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.
The moon does not move in a perfect circle around the earth - instead, its orbit is slightly elliptical. That means the distance of the moon varies between around 225,000-252,000 miles (362,000-405,555 km).
When the moon is farther away from the earth, it appears smaller - and does not totally cover the sun's disc during a total eclipse. The result is also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse.
The next eclipse is due to take place in February 2017, and can be seen from parts of South America and Africa.
The drill took place at an outcrop known in South Korea as Dokdo and in Japan as Takeshima.
The long-running row over the islands has affected ties between the two nations.
Both Japan and South Korea say they have long-standing historical ties to, and claims over, the island grouping.
The drill, which included destroyers and combat jets, took place on what South Korea has designated "Dokdo Day".
Profile: Dokdo/Takeshima islands
An unidentified military official told Yonhap news agency that it was a regular drill aimed at repelling "non-military forces that approach Dokdo via a sea or air route".
A defence ministry official said that it was important to show the area "would be defended by South Korea, in whatever circumstances".
Tensions over the disputed islands between South Korea and Japan have worsened recently, reports the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul, with both sides taking their conflict online and posting videos supporting their claims on the YouTube website.
The islets have become a lightning rod for unresolved historical issues between the two neighbours - a symbol, say many Koreans, of Japan's lack of remorse for its colonial past, our correspondent adds.
The territories themselves consist of two main islands and about 30 smaller rocks. A South Korean coastguard detachment has been stationed there since 1954.
There was no immediate response from Japan to the drill, which is not the first to be held in the area.
Millions of people enjoyed an incredible total solar eclipse.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves in between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light and plunging areas of the Earth into darkness.
It was called the Great American Eclipse, as the shadow cast on the Earth by the Moon fell directly onto America - so this was the best place to watch the eclipse.
Follow all the action as it happened below.
Well that's it for the evening! We will leave you with this incredible photo of the Moon moving across the Sun during this eclipse, as there's something rather special about it.
It might look like the Nasa photographer forgot to clean his camera, but actually those little dots on the pictures are in fact the space station moving across the Sun.
This picture is seven pictures stitched together, so you can see how the space station was moving. Pretty amazing, huh?!
Don't forget to tune into CBBC from 7:40am tomorrow for all the latest news from this evening's amazing space show - and more!
Take a look at some of the magical moments from this incredible event.
Monday's total solar eclipse is currently sweeping across the US, so people will see it at different times depending from where they are watching.
It arrived first on the west coast, so people watching from there were the first to see it.
This is the amazing moment the world first got a look!
The Great American Eclipse is now well and truly under way, with some amazing pictures coming from the US.
Pictures from Nasa show that once the Moon has completely covered the Sun and starts to move across it onto the other side, the light from the Sun starts to peek through again.
This creates a beautiful effect which is known as the diamond ring.
You can see from the pictures below why it is called that.
Here is one of the very first images from one of Nasa's special aircrafts showing a breathtaking total solar eclipse.
Take a look at that!
Well, sort of. A partial eclipse is now visible right on the west coast of the US, which is the first place where people will get to see this incredible solar spectacle.
This means that the Moon has started to move in between the Earth and the Sun, and people watching from this area are now able to see the Sun slowly being covered up.
It is about half an hour before people in Oregon will get to see a total solar eclipse. Watch this space, Newsrounders!
Space watchers in the UK will be hoping to see a partial solar eclipse soon, if the weather is clear!
If you want to try to spot it, you must make sure that you do so safely.
If you don't have special glasses, one way you can try to view the solar eclipse is using a special pinhole camera, which you can easily make at home.
If you haven't made one yet, there is just about enough time left to make one! Watch the video below to see how to make one.
It's not long to go now before the solar eclipse will be enjoyed by millions of people.
But how much do you know about this amazing space spectacle?
Test your knowledge with our quiz!
Millions of people across the US will be treated to an amazing total solar eclipse.
But - as long as the clouds move out of the way - we will only be able to see a partial solar eclipse here. But why is that?!
Watch the video below to find out why the eclipse looks different depending where in the world you are.
And don't forget to tune into CBBC at 4:20pm, when Martin will be speaking to our reporter Nada who is over in the US getting ready for the big moment.
We will also be speaking to children too to see how they're feeling about it.
Newsround is following a scouting group from the UK who have travelled over to the US to watch this amazing spectacle.
The Salisbury Scouts have gone to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
You can also see pictures here of people getting their special glasses and telescopes ready.
Today is the day that an amazing total solar eclipse is happening.
More than seven million people across the US are expected to witness the first total solar eclipse to sweep across the States from west to east since 1918 - so it's pretty exciting!
In the UK, we will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, if the weather is good.
That is because the shadow that the Moon will cast on the Earth is not going to fall directly on the UK.

Lee McIntosh, 20, attacked Kenny Drew outside a flat in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, in September last year.
He followed Mr Drew outside after the victim made a remark about McIntosh walking about with paper over his face.
McIntosh admitted assaulting Mr Drew to the danger of his life. At the High Court in Glasgow, he was remanded in custody after sentence was deferred.
The court heard how McIntosh had been invited to the party and was initially well behaved.
Mr Drew also turned up having earlier been at a nightclub.
McIntosh was later seen messing about with paper covering his face.
Mr Drew - who did not know McIntosh - made a remark, which he appeared to take exception to.
McIntosh later had another go at Mr Drew, which resulted in him deciding to leave the party.
McIntosh followed a "scared" Mr Drew out and repeatedly stabbed him. As the victim slumped to the ground, McIntosh yelled to others: "I've not got the knife - I don't want to go to jail."
The attacker fled, but was later traced by police.
The court heard Mr Drew is scarred for life as a result of the attack. He continues to suffer from depression and now finds every day tasks difficult.

Last week the Spaniard, who took over in March, said he had "positive" discussions with club chiefs.
"My heart is telling me yes, it is a great opportunity, city and club," the former Real Madrid boss told BBC Sport.
"But my brain is saying to analyse what is going on."
The Magpies, who will be in the Championship next season, produced arguably their best display of the campaign against a Tottenham side aiming to finish second.
Benitez's name was chanted by home fans throughout the game, as the players overwhelmed their more esteemed opponents. Newcastle also played with 10 men for the final quarter of the match after striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was sent off.
The 56-year-old manager, who has a relegation break clause in his contract, added: "I am really open to talking and see what happens.
"I have been in football all this time. You want to be sure people love you and if you work hard that they recognise that you are trying your best and I have this here.
"I knew that every day when I walk in the streets. Everyone is so positive and the atmosphere today doesn't surprise me too much. They were supporting for 90 minutes, I knew it would be like this and that is why I am so open to keep on talking."
Crich Tramway Village, which is home to the country's biggest collection of trams, said the damage was caused by insulation problems at their depot.
Museum bosses said the outbreak of mould was "heartbreaking and devastating".
The Derbyshire-based attraction said it needed to raise £200,000 to carry out improvements to the depot.
It's thought about "five or six" trams need attention following the winter mould.
Live updates and more from Derbyshire
Bosses at the museum, which reopens to the public at the weekend, said they believed the mould had affected the trams because there had been a warm and damp winter and moisture had got into the depot.
"Personally it makes me want to cry," Neil White from Crich Tramway Village said.
"We spend anything up to half a million pounds restoring something and then we put it away in conditions that you wouldn't want to.
"You say each vintage tram is worth like three vintage Ferraris, you wouldn't just spend your money on that and store them in the conditions that we have so far."
The museum was awarded £100,000 earlier this year by the government towards the cost of insulating the depot, which houses the trams, some dating back to the late 1800s.
It's thought they will need a further £200,000 to fully upgrade the 1960s building.
The Chiefs prop was sent off against Harlequins on Saturday after his shin struck Danny Care's head as he went to kick a loose ball at a ruck.
Baxter has already defended the 24-year-old Welshman, saying there was "no malice" and he went for the ball.
"Referees should have a choice on if it should be a red card or not," he said.
Baxter referenced an incident last season, when Exeter scrum-half Will Chudley was cleared of an alleged kick on Wasps lock Joe Launchbury.
"That was deemed, to the letter of the law by a disciplinary panel, to be no offence," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon before Francis' RFU tribunal.
"The law hasn't changed at all [but] World Rugby have instructed referees that they should now issue a red card. That to me is going from one extreme to the other."
Francis became the first Exeter player to be sent off in the Premiership following his dismissal in the final minutes of the 36-25 win over Quins at Sandy Park.
"There's a huge amount of ambiguity, and until we see something in writing that says 'this is what our referees have been told and this is how we expect them to referee', then I think it's putting referees in a difficult scenario," Baxter said.
"It would be nice to have a bit of clarity around what we are expecting from everybody."
Mr Ecclestone is accused of giving a $45m (£27.5m; 33m euros) bribe to a German banker who is serving a jail sentence for receiving the payment.
The veteran F1 chief has stepped down from the board of the company which runs the sport, Delta Topco, until the case concludes.
He will continue to run the sport on a day-to-day basis.
In a statement, Delta Topco said:
"The Board believes that it is in the best interests of both the F1 business and the sport that Mr Ecclestone should continue to run the business... but subject to increased monitoring and control by the Board.
"Mr Ecclestone has agreed to these arrangements."
Bavarian prosecutors allege that the payment to Gerhard Gribkowsky was to ensure that F1 was sold to a private equity group of Mr Ecclestone's choice.
He admits paying Gribkowsky, but denies bribery, saying he was effectively the victim of blackmail.
Mr Ecclestone has been defending himself in a separate £90m ($147m) civil claim in London's High Court.
That case was brought by a German media company, Constantin Medien, which claims it lost out financially when the share of F1 belonging to German bank Bayern Landesbank was sold in 2006 to private equity group CVC.
Full name: Bernard Charles Ecclestone
Born: 28 October 1930, St Peters, Suffolk, Great Britain
Net worth: US$3.8bn (£2.5bn)
Ecclestone - the man, the myths and the motors
Mr Ecclestone and Gribkowsky, who was on the board of Bayern Landesbank, were accused in court of conspiring to deliberately undervalue F1 when it was sold, in order that Mr Ecclestone would retain control of the sport.
The 83-year-old F1 boss has said that he made the payment because the banker had been threatening to reveal false details of his tax affairs.
A statement from Bavaria's district court said that a date for the criminal trial had not yet been set, but that proceedings were likely to begin in late April.
Mr Ecclestone is charged with bribery and incitement to breach of trust and will be obliged to appear at his trial.
The court statement says that the payments made to Gribkowsky were dressed up as consultancy contracts, and that both their source and their destination were obscured using corporate structures.
The payments were made between July 2006 and December 2007, it says.
Mr Ecclestone's German lawyer said on Thursday that the alleged bribery never took place.
The chief executive of F1 has ruled the sport for almost four decades. He is the long-time commercial rights holder of F1, but sold off a majority of the ownership in the 1990s.
In an interview with German financial newspaper Handelsblatt (in German), published on Thursday before the confirmation of his upcoming trial, Mr Ecclestone said he wanted to clear his name, which is why he had not reached an out-of-court settlement with either Constantin Medien or Bayern Landesbank.
He said it would have been better not to have made the payment to Gribkowsky, even if the banker had then triggered an investigation by the British tax authorities.
Asked if he would step down if the High Court judgement in the Constantin civil case went against him, he said there was absolutely no need for that.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the men were hurt when they responded to reports of a man making threats to another resident in Kingsbridge, Devon, at about 17:00 BST.
A 53-year-old man, named locally as Stephen Yabsley, was arrested on suspicion of assault.
Both officers sustained arm injuries and had operations in hospital.
The injuries were said to be non-life-threatening.
Armed officers from the force were involved in negotiations with a man at a house in Retreat Close, which ended at about 20:30 BST.
A spokesman said they "safely brought the incident to a close". Police said a total of 35 officers were involved in the operation.
The road was cordoned off and people in the "immediate vicinity" were evacuated from their homes.
One of the police officers was taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth and the other to Torquay Hospital.
But a popular acne drug was not found to increase the risk of suicide, despite previous findings.
The study of 5,700 people, in the British Medical Journal, was carried out at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden between 1980 and 2001.
Acne can have serious psychological effects, say experts.
Severe acne sufferers are commonly prescribed a drug called isotretinoin, also known as Roaccutane, Accutane, Amnesteem, Claravis, Clarus or Decutan.
It has been used since the 1980s to treat severe acne if a course of antibiotics does not prove effective.
But there have been reports linking isotretinoin to depression and suicidal behaviour.
So Dr Anders Sundstrom and his research team from Sweden studied suicide attempts before, during and after treatment with this drug for severe acne.
They found that 128 of the 5,700 patients investigated who were taking the drug were admitted to hospital for attempted suicide.
The risk of suicide was highest within six months of ending treatment - but the researchers say this is most likely to be because patients whose acne improved following treatment were distraught if there was no improvement in their social life, rather than anything to do with the treatment itself.
They stress that attempted suicide was a rare event - the figures suggest just one person out of every 2,300 individuals taking isotretinoin will make a first suicide attempt.
Dr Sundstrom said of his findings: "The underlying condition of acne is a more important factor for suicide attempts. We are not certain the drug adds anything."
Writing in an editorial in the BMJ, Australian acne experts John Sullivan and Parker Magin say that the Swedish research is important given the complexity of the issue.
"It is difficult to tease out the relation between mental health and isotretinoin because acne itself is associated with psychiatric morbidity, including depression."
They also say that the study shows GPs must closely monitor acne patients on isotretinoin.
"During and after treatment with isotretinoin (perhaps, especially, unsuccessful treatment), patients should be carefully monitored for depression and suicidal thoughts."
Dr Sarah Bailey, lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology at the University of Bath, said: "This is an important paper that strengthens the view that acne itself can have significant psychological effects and that there is a low risk of suicide for some acne patients.
"However, the controversial issue of increased suicide risk with isotretinoin use is not resolved by this paper, which the authors themselves acknowledge.
"Perhaps their most interesting and novel finding is that the risk of suicide is increased AFTER treatment has stopped and therefore it is essential to continue to monitor patients carefully."
The rags-to riches story of the chairman of Sahara, which became one of India's biggest business groups, has made him a household name in India.
The group, worth 682bn rupees ($11bn; £6.6bn), has businesses ranging from finance, housing, manufacturing, aviation and the media. It also has interests overseas - it owns New York's landmark Plaza Hotel and London's iconic Grosvenor House.
Sahara also sponsors the Indian hockey team and owns a stake in Formula One racing team, Force India.
With more than 1.1 million workers, the group is also India's biggest private sector employer.
Mr Roy is often in the news for his larger-than-life image, colourful lifestyle and considerable political connections.
He counts Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan among his friends and rubs shoulders with the likes of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
At the wedding of Mr Roy's two sons in 2004, festivities lasted nearly a fortnight. It was billed as the Indian marriage of the century, and it lived up to the hype.
Over 10,000 guests - a veritable A-list of India's power set, including business moguls, Bollywood idols, cricket stars and fashionistas - were airlifted to Lucknow by special chartered planes. Then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee also flew down to bless the newly-weds.
Critics say Mr Roy runs his company like a cult, referring to himself as the "chief managing worker" and guardian of the "Sahara parivar (family)".
The Sahara boss has an opulent lifestyle - he has a fleet of private jets and helicopters and one of his mansions is modelled on the White House.
Another residence - located in a private city he has built at a cost of tens of millions of dollars - is a replica of the Buckingham Palace.
According to reports, he owns a fleet of Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and BMWs.
The 65-year-old lives in Lucknow, the capital city of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, and is often named among the most influential businessmen in the country by Indian news magazines.
But at the moment Mr Roy is in the news for the wrong reasons - he has been arrested for failing to appear in court over refunds to millions of investors.
Two of his firms raised nearly 240bn rupees ($3.9bn; £2.3bn) through illegal bonds five years ago and authorities say he has failed to refund the money despite a court order. Mr Roy has issued a statement setting out his case and denying reports that he was avoiding court appearances.
Sahara also disputes the amount of money it has to pay back.
Alexander Cassidy crashed into Wayne Strickland's car near Livingston in July last year.
Cassidy, 29, from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, faced a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
His guilty plea to a reduced allegation of causing the incident due to driving without due care and attention, was rejected by the Crown.
A trial date was set for March next year.
It is alleged Cassidy drove a van dangerously and at "excessive speed" for the conditions on the westbound M8 on 20 July last year.
He is accused of not observing slow or stationary traffic before hitting the back of Mr Strickland's vehicle.
This is said to have caused Mr Strickland's car to strike a third vehicle which went into the back of a lorry.
The indictment states that Mr Strickland, a 49-year-old father, from Inverkeithing, Fife, was so severely injured that he died.
He was a business advisor with West Lothian Council at the time of his death.
Cassidy is due to stand trial on 14 March in Livingston. The case could last up to five days.
Fed up with poor Thai food when visiting other countries, Yingluck Shinawatra came up with the idea of a machine to rate food samples against authentically-prepared dishes.
The food robot was due to be unveiled in Bangkok on Tuesday.
It is part of a growing trend to use computers to analyse food.
The machine, dubbed e-delicious, has ten sensors which create a chemical signature for food, which is then measured against a gold standard recipe, as approved by 120 taste testers.
According to the website, the machine is composed of three parts:
"An electronic nose for measurement of smell by an array of 16 gas sensors, an electronic tongue that allows us to measure sourness, sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, and a central processing unit that gathers data and interprets the result."
Each test takes no more than 30 minutes.
Thai food is one of the world's most popular cuisines but, according to the website, "the flavours of Thai food in many restaurants and in hotels abroad are deviating from the authentic ones."
The government, which was ousted by a military coup in May, was so concerned about the idea of inferior Thai food that it set up the Thai Delicious committee and gave it $100,000 (£61,000) to build the machine.
Each recipe has had its chemical make-up recorded in a database to compare with other versions.
Food samples are inserted into the box to be analysed and are rated out of 100.
In the case of a Thai green curry, the dish will be tested to ensure it has the right mix of basil, curry paste and coconut cream.
The team from the Thai Delicious committee has also created an app with authentic recipes for chefs to use.
In a conversation with her "in her retirement", Mr Carr said the former UK prime minister had warned Australia against Asian immigration.
She said "if we allowed too much of it we'd see the natives of the land, the European settlers, overtaken by migrants", he said.
Lady Thatcher, 87, died on Monday after suffering a series of strokes.
Mr Carr made his comments on the Australian broadcaster ABC's Lateline programme.
He said he had been "astonished" at the comments by Lady Thatcher, which were made while his Malaysian-born wife Helena was "standing not far away" but was "fortunately out of earshot".
But he said he retained respect for the "boldness of her political leadership".
Mr Carr prefaced his comments by saying Lady Thatcher had been "the most significant" leader since Winston Churchill, forcing social democratic parties to "think more deeply about the function of the state". She had been "right in joining [former US President Ronald] Reagan and denouncing the old Soviet Union as an evil dictatorship", he said.
"On 100 other things I would pick arguments with her and I recall one conversation I had with her in her retirement where she said something that was unabashedly racist, where she warned Australia - talking to me with Helena standing not far away - against Asian immigration, saying that if we allowed too much of it we'd see the natives of the land, the European settlers, overtaken by migrants.
"I couldn't believe it. It reminded me that despite, yes, her greatness on those big questions, the role of the state, the evil nature of the Communist totalitarianism, there was an old-fashioned quality to her that was entirely out of touch and probably explained why her party removed her in the early 90s."
He went on to recall: "I remember one thing she said as part of that conversation, she said: 'You will end up like Fiji.' She said: 'I like Sydney but you can't allow the migrants' - and in context she meant Asian migration - 'to take over, otherwise you will end up like Fiji where the Indian migrants have taken over.'
"I was so astonished I don't think I could think of an appropriate reply."
Lady Thatcher will be buried with full military honours at London's St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday 17 April.
This year, it will outperform cities like Liverpool and Cork and two ships in one day is not uncommon - in 1999, that was the total for the entire year.
In 2017, the port will host a record 89 ships and recent, accelerated growth in the market has come despite delays in building a £15m cruise terminal.
However, it is worth stating that the 155,000 visitors they bring to Northern Ireland are day-trippers.
Therefore, spend could be viewed as relatively nominal, compared to those on short or long-term breaks, as the vessels sail in and out in one day.
As a proportion of Northern Ireland's overall tourism market, their number would equate to only about 6% of total external visitors.
Nonetheless, they provide a welcome boost to local attractions and coach operators.
Titanic Belfast, Giants Causeway, Hillsborough Castle and Mount Stewart are all said to hold "significant appeal" to cruise visitors.
As a cruise destination, the city is promoted in a partnership arrangement between Visit Belfast and Belfast Harbour.
They say the port can easily handle more cruise traffic and there is "no limitation" on the number of vessels that it can accommodate alongside cargo ships.
Plans for a dedicated cruise terminal, first proposed in 2013, have not been abandoned, but there have been major hold-ups.
Liverpool has a dedicated terminal beside its Royal Liver building.
Nevertheless, Belfast is still doing better - its 89 ships this year compares to Liverpool's 63.
Cruise tourism is a fast-growing sector and Belfast, with its rich maritime history, is determined not to be left behind.
The National Democratic Party (NPD) MPs were asked to remove shirts they were wearing of the Thor Steinar brand, which is popular among neo-Nazis.
After the MPs refused to take off the shirts, the session was halted and they were escorted from the chamber by police.
The deputies denied that they wore the shirts as a deliberate provocation.
Clothes by brands associated with neo-Nazis have been banned in Saxony's parliament since 2007.
"Dignity and order must be preserved in the building and in the plenary session," parliament spokesman Ivo Klatte said, adding that wearing such clothes was "clearly not allowed".
Seven of the deputies will be banned from the next three parliament sittings, assembly president Matthias Roessler said.
The state of Saxony lies in ex-communist eastern Germany, an area which has seen an increase in far-right activity in recent years.
The NPD entered Saxony's parliament in 2004, the first time it had won seats in any state assembly for almost 40 years.
The Thor Steinar label's stores have attracted protests from anti-Nazi activists.
In March, the label caused controversy by opening a shop called "Brevik" in town of Chemnitz in Saxony - similar to the name of the Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik.
The label reportedly defended the name, pointing out that its clothing has a Nordic theme and that its stores are named after places in Norway - in this case the town of Brevik, south of Oslo.
The Public Accounts Committee hearing is to go ahead in private, despite calls to cancel it by the head of the police and the minister for justice.
They argued the government spending watchdog was not the appropriate forum.
Sergeant Maurice McCabe claims there is corruption, with penalty points often being quashed for friends and family.
Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan had sought legal advice about the prospect of Sgt McCabe and another police whistle-blower appearing before the committee.
However, he withdrew the challenge after the committee agreed to hear evidence in private.
Sgt McCabe will not be allowed to name specific officers in his evidence, and there are restrictions on what he can say or be asked by committee members.
On Monday, the allegations were referred by Minister for Justice Alan Shatter to the Garda Ombudsman. He said he did not believe the committee could adequately address the controversy.
The carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and its task force is sailing south from the Norwegian Sea on its way to Syria.
It is not clear if it will pass the British Isles via the English Channel or west of Ireland.
British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the ships would be "man-marked" every step of the way.
"We will be watching as part of our steadfast commitment to keep Britain safe," he said.
It comes amid heightened tension between Russia and Nato.

Are we entering a new Cold War?

Russia's top spin doctor in nuclear warning
Nato has accused Russia of provocative military manoeuvres, especially in the Baltic region. Russian warplanes have stepped up patrols near Nato countries' airspace.
The UK's Ministry of Defence said the destroyer HMS Duncan had sailed from Portsmouth to join HMS Richmond in escorting the group as it moves south.
It also said another British destroyer, HMS Dragon, was due to meet two Russian corvettes travelling north towards the UK from the direction of Portugal.
The Russian naval task force is the most powerful to sail in northern Europe since 2014, Russian media has reported.
The Admiral Kuznetsov is the only carrier in the Russian navy. It can carry more than 50 aircraft and its weapons systems include Granit anti-ship cruise missiles.
The other Russian surface ships in the group are the nuclear-powered battle cruiser Peter the Great, two large anti-submarine warships - the Severomorsk and Vice-Admiral Kulakov - and four support vessels.
Russian armed forces channel TV Zvezda said several submarines would probably move from the Atlantic to escort the flotilla.
The taskforce will strengthen Russia's naval presence off the Syrian coast. It already has about 10 ships there.
The UK Commander of Nato's Allied Maritime Command, Vice-Admiral Clive Johnstone, said Nato and allied nations routinely monitored "activities of interest" including the presence of Russian vessels close to national waters.
"This is in the interest of supporting our overall maritime awareness and safety of navigation in sea lanes of communication," he said.
The city council voted for the ban almost unanimously, hoping to unclog roads and reduce soaring levels of pollution.
The council has also promised to increase public transport so that half the population are using it by 2030, instead of the current 12%.
But some residents think it very unlikely the bikes will go for good.
Council officials decided to put "immediate management measures" in place after a report found the number of motorbikes in Hanoi was set to grow at an "alarming" rate. Some studies suggest there are already as many as 2,500 motorbikes per kilometre.
According to the non-governmental group GreenID, the city recorded 282 days of "excessive" levels of PM2.5, which is harmful to human health, last year.
But despite this, resident Ngo Ngoc Trai told the BBC he did not think the plan would work.
"The city is too crowded while public transport hardly exists," he said. "For example, there is no underground system in Vietnam. Only in June did Hanoi pilot the first two-storey bus in some routes.
"Looking back at the history, I don't trust any long-term plan here. The government used to say Vietnam would become an industrialised country by 2020. Now everyone realises this plan has failed."
BBC Vietnamese journalist Ha Mi in London relies on a motorbike to get around when she returns to her home town, and knows how vital they are for everyday life. Indeed, even those with cars often use a motorbike to reach their vehicle due to the lack of parking in the city.
Asked if it will work, she shakes her head: she cannot imagine Hanoi's residents going along with the plans.
"When the government first said people have to use helmets people did not do it, so they had to scrap it," she said. Even now they have cracked down on helmet wearing, people still flout the rules, refusing to do them up properly, or wearing them like caps.
But in the end though, whether the ban comes into force or not may come down to something more undefined.
"I cannot imagine a Hanoi without motorbikes," she said.
The ban does not include cars, which, as wages rise, are an increasingly popular choice in Vietnam.
But they still lag behind their two-wheeled rivals. A report in the Thanh Nien News found there were 750 new cars sold in Vietnam a day in the first half of 2016, compared to 8,000 new bikes a day.
The military declared that Hit had been "completely liberated" by units of the elite Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS).
Since it began in mid-March, the assault on the town has been the focus of the government's wider campaign to regain control of Anbar province.
Hit sits on a key supply route linking IS-held territory in Iraq and Syria.
Iraqi military officials and the US-led coalition against IS believe that by clearing the town 150km (93 miles) west of Baghdad, they can build on other recent gains in the vast desert of Anbar.
CTS spokesman Sabah al-Numani told the AFP news agency that troops took complete control of Hit on Thursday, after clearing it of the last remaining gunmen.
IS militants in the town, between Ramadi and Haditha, put up heavy resistance to the assault. Air strikes by coalition warplanes were being called in by troops late into Wednesday night, CTS commander Gen Abdul Ghani al-Asadi told the Associated Press.
Gen Asadi said that in intercepted radio communications IS fighters were heard saying that "this is our headquarters and we will never leave this area".
More than 20,000 civilians fled Hit after the launch of the operation to retake the town last month, but thousands more were believed to be trapped inside during the last stages of the battle.
The offensive on Hit was reportedly delayed by a two-week sit-in protest in Baghdad by supporters of the powerful Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, as forces had to be pulled from Anbar to protect them.
The protesters demanded that Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi move ahead with a plan to replace ministers appointed on the basis of political affiliation with technocrats in a bid to tackle systemic political patronage that has aided corruption.
At the end of March, Mr Abadi submitted a list of non-partisan nominees, but it was rejected by the main parties, who put forward their own candidates,
Mr Abadi submitted a second list with their approval on Tuesday, triggering a sit-in in parliament by dozens of MPs, who demanded an opportunity to vote on the original list.
There were chaotic scenes on Wednesday as a brawl broke out during a debate over the reshuffle, and the speaker Salim al-Jabouri formally called for parliament to be dissolved.
On Thursday, a number of MPs held a vote of no-confidence in Mr Jabouri, a leading Sunni Arab politician and ally of the prime minister. But Mr Jabouri said the session lacked the necessary quorum and was marred by "many legal and constitutional errors".
The Manchester United striker, 29, who will win his 100th England cap against Slovenia at Wembley on 15 November, was named skipper by Hodgson in August.
England have won all three matches during Rooney's captaincy and are top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group.
Hodgson said Rooney has impressed, but added: "I worry that the responsibility is going to weigh him down."
The 67-year-old manager continued: "We do all we can, myself and the coaching staff, to ensure that won't happen with us."
Rooney inherited the armband from Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, 34, who retired from international football following England's disappointing performance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The former Everton striker, who made a positive impression on Hodgson when they first met, is now the figurehead as England rebuild for the European Championships in France.
Hodgson said: "I met a man who was burning to play, and that is the way he has been all along.
"Since he has been made captain, I think he has taken an even further step, both at Manchester United and with us."
Rooney was made captain of United at the beginning of the Premier League season by manager Louis van Gaal, who also warned of the burden of added responsibility.
Hodgson added: "At the moment I think he's coping with it well but we'll have to keep an eye on the situation, as will Louis, to make sure it doesn't weigh him down.
"I remember making the point fairly recently that he's really taken on this job as captain with enormous seriousness.
"He's studied and talked a lot with Steven Gerrard. He spends a lot of time with the younger players. And obviously with me he's very good. If there's anything he thinks I should be made aware of, he makes me aware of it."
Rooney became England's youngest player when he made his debut as a 17-year-old in a 3-1 defeat against Australia in February 2003 and is now ninth in the list of most capped players.
And Hodgson believes Rooney could play on until his mid-30s and overtake Peter Shilton's 125 appearances at the top of the list.
He said: "If we are generous and give him another five years, which is not beyond the bounds of possibility, he should beat Peter's record."
Rooney is also just six goals behind Bobby Charlton's England record of 49, but Hodgson does not believe that is his captain's focus.
"I'm not certain Wayne Rooney is a person who goes to bed at night dreaming of a record," Hodgson continued.
"I believe he just wants to keep playing and do the best job he can for England for as long as possible."
If England beat Slovenia in next Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier, Hodgson's side will go six points clear at the top of Group E.

Mark Sampson's side had lost their previous two matches to the USA in Tampa and Germany in Nashville.
Chances were rare on a difficult pitch, although France's Claire Lavogez hit the woodwork in the first half and Katie Chapman shot wide for England.
USA won the event courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Germany.
The hosts came from behind to win through two goals in the space of six minutes, scored by Alex Morgan and Samantha Mewis, after Anja Mittag had fired Germany into the lead at FAU Stadium, Boca Raton.
Next month, England face Belgium and Bosnia-Herzegovina in Euro 2017 qualifiers, looking to continue their 100% start to the campaign after two games.
Vice-captain Jordan Nobbs said before Wednesday's game that playing in the SheBelieves Cup would be "crucial" to their preparations for their qualifying campaign and, despite two defeats, the Lionesses had acquitted themselves well against the world's best teams.
They were narrowly beaten 1-0 by world champions USA in their first game before being edged 2-1 by Germany, finishing ahead of France in the table on goals scored.
England have not beaten France since 1974 and, certainly in the first half, it looked like their wait for an overdue win would go on as they struggled to deal with their opponents' pace on the counterattack.
However, they improved in the second half, effectively playing France at their own game with long balls forward.
The added pace of substitute Eni Aluko, who earned her 100th cap, started to cause the French problems but England could not get a second goal.
England boss Mark Sampson: "We were so close to the win against one of those big guns.
"It was a game of two halves. We had to grind out the first, but in the second half we were outstanding.
"This tournament has been a really good experience and we take a lot away from it."
The BBC takes a look at some of the unusual ways the city-state and its people have been paying tribute to its first prime minister.
Singaporeans are well known for their love of queuing, but the massive lines which formed to see Mr Lee as he lay in state at parliament were unprecedented.
Authorities said they were overwhelmed by the response, but in typical Singaporean efficient fashion quickly marshalled staff for round-the-clock viewings, erected tents and organised public transport through the night.
A cabinet minister even went on state media to reassure people that they were improving the queue system, while businesses donated water to those queuing and some florists reportedly gave out free floral tributes.
By Friday morning, officials were warning people the queue was 10 hours long and that they should pay tribute elsewhere.
Singapore has a tradition of dedicating new orchids - the national flower - to the great and the good. As expected, it announced this week the creation of the Aranda Lee Kuan Yew orchid. The national parks agency said it was a "vigorous and robust new hybrid" in a "bright greenish golden yellow with light tessellations and a tinge of white at the base".
"The stately flower reflects Mr Lee Kuan Yew's stature, not just as Singapore's founding father, but also as an international statesman," the agency said.
Mr Lee's namesake orchid is from the same strain as the one named after his late wife, the Vanda Kwa Geok Choo.
Not many would readily associate Singapore with a Scottish folk song, but on Wednesday as Mr Lee's body was carried from the presidential compound on a gun carriage, a lone bagpiper on the roof played Auld Lang Syne.
The two traditions were inherited from the British when Singapore was a colony. The bagpipes were played by a member of the Gurkha Contingent, a special team of soldiers from Nepal first formed in 1949 when the British Army posted Nepalese battalions to various colonies.
Singaporeans are food-obsessed, so popular Singaporean bakery chain BreadTalk decided to launch a new bun designed to honour Mr Lee - its Chinese name was a play on his surname, roughly translating to "Lee will never leave you".
The bakery said it was donating the proceeds to charity, but it came under heavy criticism. It quickly withdrew the product and apologised. Though many thought it was gimmicky, that did not stop it from being a hot ticket item, selling out in several outlets before the buns were binned.
Many on Facebook have changed their display picture to a black and white icon depicting Mr Lee's head in silhouette against a black ribbon.
One man even appeared to have tattooed it on his arm, while another stuck the image on his car bonnet.
Debate also raged on social media on whether Singaporeans ought to wear a black top or a white top to honour Lee on his funeral day, a reflection of the varying traditions of multi-ethnic Singapore.
Young Singaporeans are smartphone addicts, constantly taking photos, selfies and video chatting. But there was widespread criticism after images from the day Mr Lee's body was moved from his official residence to parliament showed a sea of cameraphones.
One man, Samuel Tan Weicheng, started a social media campaign urging people to promise not to take photos as Mr Lee's funeral procession passed by but instead to salute. His campaign had nearly 18,000 likes by Sunday.
He wrote: "I know it may be difficult for many to resist but I am confident we Singaporeans can do better than being slaves to our digital devices and saddled with social media!"
Written by local songwriter Dick Lee for Singapore's 1998 National Day parade, the song Home was sung by various choirs at Parliament House as the crowds paid their respects to Mr Lee. Clips of their performances, particularly one by the choir of St John's College in Cambridge, spread quickly online.
Mr Lee and his wife read law at other colleges in Cambridge, but one of their favourite spots was the Bridge of Sighs at St John's, said their son Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
One junior minister in Mr Lee's party drew criticism when he came up with a new workout to honour "LKY", who was known to be a fitness fanatic in his later years.
The workout involved repetitions of exercises like squats and burpees based on the numbers of Singapore's independence date, Mr Lee's age and the current year. Teo Ser Luck said it would help him and his workout friends "remember him in our own way". But he deleted his Facebook post after the critical response.
Clacton MP Douglas Carswell's message, apparently posted by his young daughter, went to his 28,000 followers and was retweeted hundreds of times.
An hour later, a further tweet stated: "That's the last time I leave the five year old in charge of the iPad".
Respondents included the Conservatives - his former party - which replied "No thanks" to the offer.
His initial tweet - which included a screenshot of the game - prompted replies from other users of the social network, questioning why he had posted the message or whether his account had been hacked.
Mr Carswell later responded to political blogger Guido Fawkes, confirming the first message had been posted by his child.
The original tweet has not been removed from the social network.
Last year, a similar message was posted from Mr Carswell's Twitter account, also inviting his followers to play Hello Kitty World.
Bruno Fernandes played as goalkeeper for Brazil's most popular football club, Flamengo, until 2010.
He was sentenced in 2013 to 22 years in jail for ordering the murder of his former girlfriend, Eliza Samudio.
The Supreme Court will meet on Tuesday to rule on prosecutor Rodrigo Janot's request.
The court ordered his temporary release in February on the grounds that he was appealing against the murder sentence.
Fernandes, 32, signed a contract with second division club Boa Esporte last month and has since played several matches. He has served less than a third of his sentence, taking into the account the time he spend in prison before his trial.
His early release has angered many in Brazil, including campaigners to end violence against women.
Ms Samudio had been demanding maintenance for their new-born child, known as Bruninho, which Fernandes refused to pay.
Friends of Fernandes confessed to abducting Ms Samudio, strangling her, cutting her body into pieces and feeding it to dogs.
Fernandes said his friends told him of the murder, but he denied ordering her killing.
In an interview with Globo Television last month, he said he was determined to rebuild his life.
"Even if there was life imprisonment in Brazil, that wouldn't bring the victim back," he said.
Fernandes said he would request a DNA test to confirm whether he was Bruninho's biological father.
The child is being brought up by Eliza Samudio's mother, Sonia de Moura.

Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) said officers would wear the devices to give them "a more complete picture of incidents".
The service said video would also help officers evaluate their performance.
But the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) warned that it could "compromise the neutrality" of firefighters and act as a disciplinary tool.
FBU executive council member Tam McFarlane said: "We have a level of trust with communities in deprived areas where we do a lot of public safety work.
"Our fear is that if we are to wear cameras it would automatically raise suspicions.
"With fires you could probably learn a lot from cameras but, if it was day-to-day activity, they could compromise firefighters' neutrality."
Mr McFarlane said video from body-worn cameras could also be used as evidence in disciplinary cases against firefighters.
But the union's secretary in Hampshire, Gary Jackson, said: "We don't have any concerns. They will increase safety and increase the learning experience."
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was the first in the country to be handing out body-worn cameras to officers.
The service said footage collected during a pilot scheme provided video evidence of a suspected arsonist and had been used in an investigation into a boat fire.
In May, a trial camera captured images of explosions at a fireworks store in Southampton.
HFRS operational technology manager Alex Rhodes said: "New body-worn cameras are going to help every firefighter be the best they can be and embrace the fact we are, as all fire services are, a learning organisation."
Assistant chief officer Andy Bowers said: "We will use them for reflective learning, training, incident analysis and fire investigation.
"They will make the public and firefighters of Hampshire safer."
Firefighters in Plymouth trialled head cameras in 2007 to monitor anti-social behaviour surrounding bonfire night, but the pilot was not extended. | A fire service has claimed to be the first in Great Britain to fully deploy helmet-mounted cameras. | 36,606,720 | 413 | 21 | false |
Staffing levels in hospitals are "unsustainable" and nurses "cannot continue in the conditions that they're working under", according to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
Garrett Martin, the union's deputy director in Northern Ireland, said its members should challenge election candidates on their views on two main issues - healthcare staffing levels and pay.
"Overwhelmingly, the messages that we're getting from our members relate to safe staffing," he said.
"[And] there is pay inequity with nurses and other healthcare staff in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
"We want to see that addressed, but we also want to see it in the context of reform and modernisation."
In October, Health Minister Michelle O'Neill unveiled her 10-year plan to reform a health and social care system that she said was at "breaking point".
But the RCN believes that a political stalemate after the 2 March poll would be detrimental to patients.
Mr Martin said the union would be "very concerned" by the prospect of a return to direct rule from Westminster.
"We want to see consensus to continue to get on with making some of the difficult decisions to make sure the health service is sustainable and safe," he said.
"We would be urging politicians to take the responsibility to do what's best for the interests of the people in Northern Ireland."
There are about 18,000 nurses in Northern Ireland, and Mr Martin wants them to engage with candidates before casting their vote.
"When the representatives are knocking on your door to ask what they believe is right in relation to safe staffing, in relation to nurses' and healthcare staff's pay.
"We want nurses to make their mind up as to who they believe and which party they believe would best help deliver on those priorities."
You never know what to expect when you're out on the canvass, and it can be a dangerous world out there.
We've heard of the perils of putting up posters and slotting leaflets through letterboxes, but here's a first for this campaign.
Alliance Party candidate Patrick Brown said he was on the receiving end of a wet welcome in Newcastle - and it wasn't the rain he was talking about.
Instead, he picked up a puppy and the excitement was all a bit too much for the pooch.
And the unwelcome gift came on Mr Brown's birthday!
We've been keeping a close eye on how the Stormont election hopefuls have been getting on out on the campaign trail.
And while the traditional method of knocking the doors is all important, there's no better place to get the message out there than on social media.
Some have been making better use of Facebook and Twitter than others, it has to be said, and topping the tweets is Ulster Unionist candidate Robbie Butler.
He's gone above and beyond the usual canvass group selfie, and posts daily video updates from his leaflet rounds.
But as he explained in this video, he took Tuesday evening off from hitting the doorsteps, choosing instead to give cosying couples a bit of peace on Valentine's night.
There were plenty of candidates who head out on the trail, however, and we suspect they couldn't quite claim to have received too much of a loving reception on that particular night of the year.
In less than two weeks' time, the five main political parties will go head to head in the The Leaders' Debate, and there's still time for you to get involved.

Antoin Duffy, 39, his cousin Martin Hughes, 36, and Paul Sands, 32, all denied plotting to kill Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair and Sam McCrory in Scotland.
They were convicted after a nine-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Duffy and Hughes were also convicted of terrorism charges. Two other men, Craig Convery and Gordon Brown, were found guilty of organised crime charges.
The court heard that Mr Adair and his best friend Mr McCrory were both former members of prohibited Loyalist terror organisations the UDA and its paramilitary wing the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF).
They were involved in the Good Friday agreement in 1998 which brought peace to Northern Ireland, and both have been living in Ayrshire for a number of years.
Irishman Duffy, who had been living in Scotland, was the driving force behind the murder plot.
Described as passionate about a united Ireland, he believed the peace agreement had sold out the Republican movement.
He initially planned operations from his cell in Castle Huntly open prison.
Every four weeks, when he received home leave back to his flat in Old Castle Road, Glasgow, Duffy talked to criminal associates in a bid to obtain weapons.
He also enlisted his cousin, Martin Hughes, and recruited fellow prisoner Paul Sands - a Facebook friend of Mr McCrory - who knew about McCrory's daily routine.
What the men did not know, however, was that MI5 had learned of their plans and had authorised the bugging of Duffy's flat and Hughes' car.
The trial heard that paperwork for the surveillance operation was so secretive there was no signature on it.
The surveillance began in 12 December 2012 and was later handed over to Police Scotland.
The court heard that Duffy believed Mr Adair and Mr McCrory were responsible for ordering the murders of dozens of innocent Catholics during the Troubles.
Evidence was presented that he wanted to shoot Mr McCrory using a pistol or revolver and then quickly target Mr Adair using an AK 47, which he dubbed "the big fella".
In a bugged conversation he was heard boasting to his girlfriend Stacey McAllister: "I'm trying to get a war started and get as many guns and explosives as I can."
A recording was also played from a conversation in Hughes' Mercedes Jeep, which travelled from Glasgow to the Ayrshire home of Mr McCrory on 1 October 2013.
On the tape Sands said: "There are so many places you could hit this guy. It's unbelievable.
"I mean I could go and and chap his door right now and we could probably put him in the boot if three of us could manage it, know what I mean."
Duffy then said: 'A sawn-off and a revolver as the back up.'"
As the Jeep approached the street in which McCrory lived, Sands was heard to say: "This is the road he walks every single day. You can't go wrong. It is a straight road."
There were then discussions about cameras at a nearby school and shops and the best vantage points to get their target.
Duffy went on: "I just need a quick look. I almost hit him a couple of years ago."
He then added: "We'll just drive up to him and...blast him. In his ear.
"There 's an AK that could possibly be getting made available for us with armour piercing rounds.
"The thing about that is that's it's too...high profile for this first. We want to get the fella out the blue and not have the other running scared."
Duffy's cellmate in Castle Huntly, Edward McVeigh, 27, revealed that Duffy hated Adair and talked of shooting him as he walked his dog or trained at the gym.
He said that Duffy was a Republican sympathiser who claimed he was a member of the Real IRA.
The trial also heard that Duffy even approached Celtic player Anthony Stokes in the Brazen Head pub in Glasgow on 1 September, asking him to get his father to pass a message on to someone in Ireland to obtain weapons.
Regulars reacted furiously to this and Duffy was thrown out of the pub.
In evidence Mr McCrory admitted that the killing of him and Mr Adair would be "huge scalps for dissident Republican groups."
Mr Adair said that in October 2013 he returned from holiday to be told by police that his life was in danger from dissident Republicans and to step up his security.
He added: "All that was supposed to be over, but from their point of view I would see myself as a target as a leader of Loyalism."
QC Derek Ogg, representing Duffy, claimed that his client was a fantasist, not a terrorist, and said he was addicted to the drug Tramadol and suffering from four mental issues, including post traumatic stress disorder.
Hughes' QC Gordon Jackson said his client had not agreed to murder anyone and was just trying to keep his cousin happy by agreeing with him.
Donald Findlay QC, representing Sands, said that his client's only involvement was in a discussion during the car journey in Ayrshire.
He added: "Mr Sands is a total idiot. He says that himself. He says that when he hears the tape of him in the car with Duffy and Hughes he cringes. He says what he says, but he wasn't going to do anything."
The jury, however, did not believe the three men's claims and convicted them of conspiracy to murder.
The hosts added 55 to declare on 507-8, as Keaton Jennings ended 221 not out.
It set Yorkshire 357 to win in 81 overs and Alex Lees and (74) Adam Lyth (50) put on 112 to raise hopes of a win.
But Lyth and Kane Williamson fell in successive balls to Barry McCarthy (2-27), while two wickets for Ryan Pringle (2-35) saw Yorkshire bat out a draw.
Second-placed Yorkshire are now level on 99 points with leaders Lancashire, who have won a game more, while Durham are four points behind in third.
Jennings reached his maiden double-century in the morning session, before Durham declared after passing 500.
His 416-ball stay at the crease contained 23 fours and lasted nearly 10 hours.
It gave Yorkshire a very tantalising run chase and they got off to a great start, with Lees and Lyth sharing a first-wicket century stand in 32 overs.
But McCarthy got rid of Lyth just after he had reached his half-century and Williamson followed for a golden duck.
Lyth was caught at first slip by Ben Stokes, who was on as a substitute with ECB approval as he recovers from his knee operation
Gary Ballance scored a quick-fire 32 but his dismissal saw Yorkshire slip from 149-2 to 179-5.
Tim Bresnan (27 not out) and Jack Leaning (22 not out) batted out 26 overs in a stand of 59, as both sides drew for the fifth time this season.
BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson:
"Durham have shown some real fighting spirit this season when the chips have been down.
"They did it to turn the game on its head and win at Warwickshire - and they fought back after a poor start in the draw at Notts.
"This time, they recovered from 105-4 in their second innings against Yorkshire to post a sizeable 507-8 declared.
"And while the eyes of the press were on Scott Borthwick ahead of his expected call-up by England, it was the now England-qualified Keaton Jennings who stole the show with a fantastic 221 not out.
"Although Durham couldn't press for the win, they gave it a great try and are still unbeaten in the Championship."
Hundreds of meteors will streak across the sky in the beautiful natural firework show, visible around the world.
The shower peaks in mid August but a full moon on August 7th means that this weekend may be the best time to see the natural wonder.
And it's not just the Perseid, two other meteor showers will be visible this weekend also.
The Alpha Capricornids Shower will peak tonight and then hang around a few more nights, and the Southern Delta Aquariids showers will peak Saturday and Sunday.
The Perseids are actually tiny pieces of the Swift-Tuttle comet that can be seen every year when the Earth passes through a cloud of the comet's debris.
They're bits of ice and dust, which can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a pea.
The fragments were left behind whenever Swift-Tuttle passed close to Earth - the last time was in 1992.
The meteors appear to come from a point in the constellation of Perseus, hence the name Perseid.
They hit the Earth's atmosphere at a whopping speed of 134,000 mph, but don't pose any danger to us on Earth.
The celestial show is expected to hit its peak overnight between 11-12 August but you can see it any night until then starting tonight.
Unlike some other cosmic events, spectators don't need special technology to watch the Perseids unfold.
It's best to find a wide open space away from tall buildings or trees, and with as little light as possible.
The more of the sky you can see, the better.
This year's shower could see 200 meteors an hour become visible in the night's sky, in an event known as an "outburst".
The 34-year-old victim was attacked in Glenrosa Link in the north of the city at about 01:15 BST on Sunday.
Police said he was taken to hospital and "remains in a stable condition".
Officers arrested two 26-year-old men a short time after the attack. They are being questioned at Musgrave police station in Belfast.
It's 8.45am on a Saturday and Singapore's Botanic Gardens are alive with people and activity.
Local walking groups chat furiously in Mandarin, while gaggles of women push prams, coffees in hand. No-one seems particularly deterred by the rising heat.
I'm here to join a brand new exercise group called Mom In Balance. It's a franchise business founded in the Netherlands that specialises in outdoor exercise programmes for pregnant women and new mothers.
As I sit and wait for others to arrive, a group of five or six women run by me, overtaking everyone in sight. They are being led by a tall blonde woman wearing a t-shirt that says Mom in Balance. I start to panic a little.
I've done a reasonable amount of exercise throughout my pregnancy, including some swimming and a (very little) bit of running. But there is absolutely no way I'll be able to keep up with the group I've just seen sprint past.
Thankfully, a heavily pregnant woman decked out in running gear comes and sits next to me. I'm at the right spot, she tells me, at the right time. The 8am class I've just seen run past is for mothers getting back into shape soon after childbirth.
The tall blonde instructor returns to take the 9am class - a group which is now made up of three or four quite visibly pregnant women, together with some others.
As we set off on our warm-up, we are already dripping with sweat. As it is far from usual to see groups of pregnant women exercising outside in Singapore, passers-by stop and stare.
"Don't worry, we're famous here," one woman says to me. "Some people even stop to take photos of us."
Despite well-documented studies that show the benefits of exercise during all stages of pregnancy, globally the prenatal exercise industry is relatively new.
In fact, while a mass of data is readily available on the $542bn (£418bn) world fitness industry, it is very difficult to find any about prenatal classes.
For example, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) reports extensively on the fitness industry, but has no statistics whatsoever on the prenatal sector. Nor could they find any for me, from any country.
However, GWI's director of research Beth McGroarty, says the sector is definitely now expanding strongly.
"Programmes are being added at existing fitness centres and there are more prenatal yoga, Pilates and other gentle workouts available," she says.
"And given the powerful growth in prenatal fitness programmes, one can assume there will be research on this market in the future."
Founded in 2006, Mom in Balance now has franchises in 11 countries, including the US, Japan and Germany, as it tries to meet increasing demand from mums-to-be.
While the bulk of its 7,000 members are in the Netherlands, founder Esther van Diepen, is aiming to see that figure hit at least 10,000 by the end of this year, as it continues to expand around the world.
Here in Singapore, the franchise is just four months old, with 75 active members. Jantien Kroese-van den Berg, a fitness instructor and the country's new Mom in Balance franchise owner, hopes to double those numbers by the end of the year.
At 150 Singapore dollars ($108; £83) per month for a variety of classes, Jantien says she is expecting to rely more heavily on Singapore's expat community than its locals for the initial growth in numbers.
Word of mouth, she hopes, will then see more Singaporeans joining, despite some cultural opposition to pregnant women doing exercises.
In Singapore, where the population is about 75% ethnic Chinese, together with minorities including Indians and Malays, it's very rare to see pregnant women en masse taking part in rigorous activity outdoors. Prenatal yoga and Pilates is popular, but not more vigorous exercise.
Jantien says: "There is sometimes a general feeling that you should do nothing because that might be better to hold on to your pregnancy.
"The Asian-born ladies in my classes - they all have to defend themselves to their families, even to their friends."
A 2015 research paper that analyses the differences in beliefs, attitudes and intentions towards prenatal exercise between women in China and Australia explains a little of what's behind this.
"In traditional Chinese culture, pregnancy is considered a vulnerable period that requires rest and recuperation, with many antenatal taboos, some of which may contrast with international guidelines on exercise in pregnancy," the report says.
"Two relevant taboos intended to avoid spontaneous miscarriage include 'not walking too fast' and 'not walking too often', which have been reported to be adhered to by the majority of Chinese women," it continues.
But Mom in Balance member Richa Nair, a Singaporean Indian, explains it's not only a traditional Chinese belief that prenatal exercise can be dangerous.
"My friends sounded a bit shocked when I described the exercises we do, but soon that turned to admiration," she says.
"With regards to my family, they are mostly horrified and believe this is a time to relax and slow down the pace of life. Their eyebrows shot into their foreheads when I told them about my prenatal exercising."
Dr Ann Tan, a leading obstetrician and gynaecologist in Singapore, says attitudes towards prenatal exercise are definitely changing, though perhaps more slowly in parts of Asia.
Like most medical professionals, though, she is guarded with her advice.
"Usually I don't like any high impact in the first trimester. I like walking, you can swim too. But no high impact stuff," she says.
"The second and third trimester depends very much on the lady herself. If she's perfectly well and she's been active all her life, then she can actually resume some of her exercise, but tail it down to about 60%."
Singapore-based personal trainer Aaron Rolley, the boss of International Fitness Consultants, has worked with pregnant women for about 20 years.
Charging 100 Singapore dollars for a one-on-one session, he has built a reputation as a leader in his field.
"Training during pregnancy is not about losing fat or going for a personal best," says Aaron.
"The workout for each mother will look very different, some will just stretch, foam roll and mobilise, while others will be doing chin ups and push ups. It depends on the individual and their training history."
Markets closed little changed, in spite of steep declines in supermarket chains, with Kroger down 9.2%, and Target and Walmart falling about 5%.
Shares in Amazon rose 2.4% while Whole Foods jumped 29% to $42.68, above the price of Amazon's bid.
Analysts said the deal was potentially a seismic shift in the sector.
The S&P 500 index held steady edging up 0.69 points to close at 2,433.15 in early trade.
The Dow Jones climbed 0.11% to 21,384.28, while the Nasdaq slid 13.74 points to 6,151.76.
A report from the US census also showed new housing construction slowed in May, a sign of economic weakness that pushed Treasury yields lower.
The 25-year-old hit the winning runs to send England through to Sunday's World Twenty20 final but was dropped for the final Test against Pakistan in October.
"He'll be a bonus but it would be a shame for him not to get in the England side," Croft told BBC Radio Manchester.
"He had a few cameos here last year and it was great. He's a match-winner."
Croft added: "He's probably not got the record that he wanted but he's one of those X Factor players who can take the game away from you.
"It would be great to get back in the Test side but if not we will obviously benefit from getting him back."
Following Ashwell Prince's retirement at the end of last season, Lancashire have a void in their batting line-up to fill.
"First and foremost the youngsters and the local lads are going to have to put their hands up. We've kept hold of Alviro Petersen, who is another quality Test player from South Africa," Croft said.
"By his terms he was probably a little bit down on runs last year but hopefully if he scores some of the runs Ashwell got then that will be a great help."
Lancashire, who this week announced an operating profit of £763,000, begin their first season back in Division One against Nottinghamshire on 17 April and could have England seamer Jimmy Anderson available.
"Jimmy is going to be here for two or three games at the start of the season," said Croft.
"Having the best spin attack in the country is matched by having Kyle Jarvis, Neil Wagner available too."
The 21-year-old has made just one senior appearance for the Rams, but has featured in three EFL Trophy matches for the Under-21s this season.
Brazilian-born Santos, a Bristol Rovers academy graduate, has also previously played on loan for Notts County.
"He's can play wide left or right, I think he'll excite one or two people," Eastleigh manager Ronnie Moore said.
"It's nice that we can draw someone here from a Championship club," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"There have been league clubs interested in him, who can't move for him until January, so we thought we would take advantage of the situation."
A judge rejected Camille Cosby's attempts to avoid testifying, after she claimed she was protected by a marital disqualification law.
The women claim Mr Cosby portrayed them as liars after they went public with their allegations against him.
He filed a countersuit alleging their claims were only for financial gain.
The 78-year-old is also seeking unspecified monetary damages and said the women inflicted emotional distress.
Mrs Cosby is also her husband's business partner and the couple have been married for more than 50 years.
Joseph Cammarata, a lawyer for the women, argued last month he should be able to question Mrs Cosby because he believed she had "information that's relevant to the litigation in this matter".
As well as throwing out her marital status disqualification attempts, Judge Magistrate David Hennessey also rejected claims the value of her evidence would be undermined by the "undue burden" it would cause her.
"The arguments do not outweigh the potential significance of Mrs Cosby's testimony, nor has Mrs Cosby provided any authority that they do," he said.
The comedian had also tried to prevent his wife having to testify by having his lawyers argue it was an attempt to put pressure on him by causing them both "shame and embarrassment".
Mr Cosby's accusers' legal claim alleges he and his representatives sought to tarnish their reputations after they went public with their claims of sexual misconduct.
Mr Cosby has repeatedly denied the accusations.
His counter legal claim contends the women "engaged in a campaign to assassinate" his reputation and character.
He has, however, admitted in court proceedings he obtained and gave women sedatives over the years, but he maintained the women took the drugs willingly.
Last week, prosecutors in Pennsylvania charged the comedian with an alleged sexual assault in 2004. It is the first time Mr Cosby has been charged with any offence after months of accusations by dozens of women.
He is currently on $1m (£675,000) bail.

International experts will begin their examinations on 8 April to determine whether the poet was poisoned in 1973.
The poet and left-wing activist died 12 days after a military coup replaced the socialist President Salvador Allende with General Augusto Pinochet.
The poet's family maintains that he died at 69 of advanced prostate cancer.
In 2011, Chile started investigating allegations by his former driver, Manuel Araya Osorio, that the poet had been poisoned.
Experts from Argentina and Spain will reportedly join observers from the International Red Cross on the exhumation works.
Spanish expert Francisco Etxeberria has told local media that he will be travelling to Chile.
"Then we will take the tests that could shed light on the case," Mr Etxeberria told Diario Vasco. "It's been 40 years, but we have the means to shed much light."
Mr Neruda's body is buried next to his wife Matilde Urrutia in Isla Negra, 120km (70 miles) west of the capital Santiago.
Neruda was a Communist and a friend of President Allende.
But the foundation that guards his legacy says it believes Pablo Neruda died of cancer.
Neruda was a fierce critic of the military coup, which he saw as a betrayal of his country.
His death is not the only one from that period to be re-examined.
In December 2011, after the remains of President Allende were exhumed, it was confirmed that he committed suicide, and was not killed by soldiers who stormed the presidential palace during the coup, as some had argued.
Police said a 46-year-old man died after the collision which happened at 17:30 GMT on Sunday on the B6039 Chesterfield Road, Hardstoft.
A representative from the force said the driver of the car, a blue Suzuki, had been interviewed by officers.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicles prior to it are asked to contact Derbyshire Police.
The 26-year-old was taken to hospital after the attack in Regency Square in Brighton at about 01:15 GMT.
Police were call to the scene amid reports of a fight between two men.
A man described as white, in his 20s, 5ft 7in tall and of slim build is believed to have run off towards the seafront. He had brown hair and was wearing a black t-shirt, police said.
The victim remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Witnesses are asked to contact police.
Coach Craig Fulton includes Lisnagarvey trio Neal Glassey, Sean Murray and Matthew Nelson plus Banbridge duo Jamie Wright and John McKee.
Other Banbridge players Eugene Magee and Matt Bell are also included.
Chris Cargo and Lisnagarvey's Paul Gleghorne are among nine of Fulton's Rio Olympics squad who are picked.
Absentees include injured Peter Caruth but John Jermyn has been named in the squad after being a fitness doubt.
The other newcomers to the squad are Monkstown's Lee Cole, Jamie Carr of Three Rock Rovers and UCD's Jeremy Duncan.

At the other end of the spectrum, Magee and Ronan Gormley, with nearly 500 caps between them, will provide experience for a tournament which will see Ireland facing Austria, Italy and Ukraine in their opening group.
Joining Caruth in dropping out of the initial extended 24-man squad are Callum Robson, Julian Dale, Luke Madeley, Drew Carlisle and Mark Ingram.
The Austrians look the main Group A threat with several of their players having performed admirably at the Junior World Cup in December.
Pool B see's France, Poland, Scotland and Wales with the French looking the side to beat.
Coach Fulton described his Irish squad as a "mix of exciting youth and senior experience".
"It's been a while since Ireland hosted a men's FIH tournament so we're looking forward to playing in front of a home crowd," added Fulton.
"The Stormont venue is looking good and the pitch is playing fast, and we're eager to start our campaign against Ukraine this weekend."
Ireland need a top-three finish in the eight-team tournament to book a spot in World League 3.
Ireland squad: David Harte (GK), Jamie Carr (GK), Jonathan Bell, John McKee, Ronan Gormley, Chris Cargo, Matthew Nelson, John Jermyn, Eugene Magee, Neal Glassey, Shane O'Donoghue, Sean Murray, Matthew Bell, Jamie Wright, Paul Gleghorne, Conor Harte, Jeremy Duncan, Lee Cole.
About one in every 20 children aged five to 16 has a conduct disorder - persistent and extreme misbehaviour.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines outline how to spot and treat these conditions.
They say parents should play a central role in this.
While all children can be naughty from time to time, the behaviour of children with conduct disorders is different.
They persistently misbehave - both at home and in school - and their actions can be extreme and harmful.
As well as stealing, fighting or vandalising property, they might hurt people and animals, for example.
Prof Steven Pilling, who helped develop the guidelines, said: "Children with conduct disorders are different. It's not a bit of tantruming or getting into trouble now and then. It's picking up the 14in TV and throwing it through the window."
He said it was important that parents be taught how to handle this type of behaviour.
"Firmness and saying 'No' is not the solution for these children. We need to get parents to switch the focus from being controlling and punitive to encouraging positive behaviour," he said.
About half of children with antisocial behaviour or conduct disorders not only miss out on parts of their childhood but also go on to have serious mental health problems as adults. Some go on to be repeated offenders.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE), who jointly developed the guidelines, say early intervention is essential to break this chain.
Prof Peter Fonagy, a professor of psychoanalysis at University College London who co-authored the guidelines, said: "All children can be naughty, defiant and impulsive from time to time, which is perfectly normal. However, some children have extremely difficult and challenging behaviours that are outside the norm for their age.
"Recognising and accurately diagnosing a conduct disorder is vital to ensuring children and their families are able to access the treatment and support they need to manage the condition."
Fiona is a mother of a child with a conduct disorder. She said: "It is not just the child who is affected by a conduct disorder; it can have a significant impact on their brothers or sisters, their parents, family members, teachers and other people they come into contact with.
"Real practical support and advice is needed to help parents manage their child's condition, such as what to say to calm the child when they are very distressed to avoid inflaming the situation."
I caught up with the former First Minister Rhodri Morgan in the blazing sunshine on Barry Island this week when he joined the man leading Labour's remain campaign Alan Johnson for an ice-cream and a walkabout.
Rhodri Morgan said: "We all have this terrible fear about what happened to the Scottish Labour party after appearing with Scottish Tories in the independence referendum.
"It was an absolute killer blow then. Wonderful for the SNP, killer for Scottish Labour.
"A fear that is deeply implanted now in every Labour person like me is do not appear on a platform with Tories unless you absolutely have to."
He also had plenty to say on the danger of the referendum campaign appearing to many traditional Labour supporters as a series of internal problems for the Conservative party, or as he put it in reference to the David Cameron versus Boris Johnson dynamic: "This is not about civil war on the playgrounds of Eton."
There is a sense that Labour voters are not appearing as engaged in the campaign as Conservative supporters, a feeling heightened by the dominance of Tories in most of the headlines.
There are clear fears within Labour that this is a danger. Jeremy Corbyn, who has been lukewarm about the EU, will be putting the case to stay in at a rally in Cardiff on Friday.
In the meantime, remain campaigners are continuing to warn of the potential economic dangers of a Brexit.
The latest is a warning from the Centre for Economic and Business Research, commissioned by Britain Stronger in Europe, saying that the potential creation of 6,000 jobs over the next 14 years could be at risk.
Just to be clear, this isn't saying 6,000 jobs would be lost, but instead it's saying that the 6,000 jobs that may be created in the future in the single market would be in doubt.
The problem is that it's saying that jobs could be lost before they are even created.
And it's that point which leave campaigners have latched on to, describing the figures as absurd.
There has been a barrage of economic warnings about a Brexit but relatively few with specific Wales figures.
That could begin to change. I understand that next week leave campaigners will give their projections on the population rise in Wales as a result of EU migration, and the corresponding rise in pressure on the NHS.
And there we have in a nutshell the two focal points from both sides in the debate: the economy for remain and immigration and pressure on public services for leave.
More than 90 people complained to the media watchdog and several hundred viewers also complained to the BBC over the episode screened on 6 October.
The BBC has defended it as part of the soap's "rich history" of portraying difficult storylines.
The broadcaster said it had been careful to avoid any graphic depictions.
The show's makers also contended that the attack was "implied and was not explicit".
Separately, Channel 5 has been censured by Ofcom over swearing on three shows - Big Brother, It Takes a Thief To Catch a Thief and and the Hotel Inspector Revisited, all of which were repeated during the daytime.
The broadcaster admitted that "human error" meant it had failed to broadcast a warning over offensive language prior to a screening of It Takes a Thief to Catch a Thief at 10:30 on 22 March, 2014.
The channel said that as a result of this error, it had reviewed its internal records to ensure that all pre-watershed versions of programmes were correctly labelled and reviewed by its compliance team.
All screenings were daytime repeats of evening shows and Ofcom ruled that the channel did not take appropriate steps to avoid frequent use of offensive language before the watershed.
Three people complained to Ofcom about a Big Brother episode screened at lunchtime on 7 August, which involved a conversation between five of the housemates - Chris, Ashleigh, Ash, Winston and Helen.
Ofcom noted 14 instances of different variations of the same swear word within a 50-second part of their conversation.
Channel 5 said that "none of the language identified was used in connection with violent or particularly aggressive behaviour.
"The tone of the conversation was light and in keeping with the kind of banter that was frequently heard in the House when alcohol had been consumed," the broadcaster added.
Northern Ireland's world number two is recovering from a stress fracture of his rib and had already withdrawn from next week's Dubai Desert Classic.
Four-time major winner McIlroy, 27, is in the early stages of rehabilitation and has been able to start putting.
His planned return comes just a month before the Masters.
He will aim to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta, the one major he has yet to win.
McIlroy complained about back pain during this month's South Africa Open, at which he lost in a play-off to England's Graeme Storm.
He played in Johannesburg with his back taped up and having taken anti-inflammatory tablets.
Former Zimbabwe international Jarvis, 26, took 62 wickets in the County Championship to help the Red Rose to promotion from Division Two.
Bailey, 24, established himself this season with 35 wickets, including 5-12 against Leicestershire in May.
Griffiths, 21, made his debut at T20 Finals Day as Lancashire secured the title against Northants.
"It is imperative that we have a group of strong and talented seam bowlers and all three have had an impressive season," said cricket director and head coach Ashley Giles.
The boys - aged between 11 and 12 - raised the alarm after the woman entered the water at Gypsy Brae at around 16:30 on Sunday, 20 September.
Police and coastguard officers then used information given to them by the boys to rescue the woman.
The boys identified the area where the woman was and provided footage of her entering the water as evidence.
She was taken for treatment and is now recovering following the incident.
Sgt John Brock said: "This incident could have quite easily had a tragic ending.
"Due to the swift and conscientious actions of these boys a woman's life was saved. Police Scotland commends them for their bravery and quick thinking.
"It is also notable that they learned these skills through their attendance at the Risk Factory, an initiative purposely designed to equip young people with the ability to use their initiative in crucial situations.
"Thank you to these five boys for demonstrating outstanding community spirit."
As a reward, 11-year-olds Wacka Ceesay, Andrew Bell and Kian McGee, along with 12-year-olds Tyler Jay Anderson and Aleks Czernecki, were given a tour of Drylaw Police Station.
The 26-year-old Glendronach single malt whisky was bottled in 2012 to mark the opening of Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire.
Experts believe the lot will go for a four-figure sum, with an estimate of £2,500 on the bottle.
It is being sold at McTear's Auctioneers in Glasgow on 13 January.
McTear's whisky expert Laurie Black said: "I suspect Mr Trump's imminent elevation to the position of 'leader of the free world' will have a significant bearing on the value of the 26-year-old GlenDronach, but the fact remains that this is also a quite stunning whisky in its own right."
The sale features in McTear's rare and collectable whisky auction, which also includes a cask of 43-year-old whisky from the closed North of Scotland Distillery for £50,000 and a bottle of 52-year-old Macallan 1950 that could fetch in excess of £9,000.
Karl Law, 34, from Fareham, Hampshire, did not return from a night out during his cousin Lee Cross's stag do in the Czech capital on Saturday 15 November.
A statement released by Czech police said there was evidence Mr Law had "consumed narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances extensively".
The claims have been denied by Mr Cross.
He said: "Obviously, Karl would have been under the influence of drink, but I've never seen him take drugs."
Friends and family who have remained in Prague to search for Mr Law, a builder, said they had now hired a private investigator.
They were also due to make a second appeal on Czech television station TV Nova to find him.
Police have confirmed two new sightings of Mr Law, on Sunday 16 November at the Palacky Square and the following day in the area of the National Theatre.
Prague police spokesman Tomas Hulan said: "In both of the cases he allegedly showed signs of intoxication of alcohol and some confusion."
Police have denied allegations that officers did not co-operate with the family in the search for Mr Law.
The family, who are walking the city centre and its outskirts wearing T-shirts printed with Mr Law's picture and handing out leaflets, said they had noticed police had "upped" their search.
Mr Cross said: "I'm just hoping and praying that he's OK; it's about time we found him and took him home.
"I don't want to leave here without him."
Hampshire police has confirmed its officers are in contact with counterparts in Prague and are helping to follow-up lines of inquiry in the UK.
Chief Inspector Jim Pegler, policing commander for Fareham, said: "We recognise that this is a very difficult and frustrating time for Karl's family and friends and will do all we can to assist them."
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman added: "We can confirm a British national has been reported missing in Prague. We are in close contact with the family and are providing consular assistance."
Friends and family in Fareham have held fundraisers to support the search for Mr Law in the Czech capital.
The charismatic, former NFL-playing pastor of Transformation Church doesn't want to upset the carefully choreographed racial balance of his evangelical congregation in Charlotte, North Carolina.
But as an African-American man, he sympathises with black voters who feel this election is really about race and class.
Two years ago Pastor Gray was pulled over on the highway by the police. He told me he'd done nothing wrong. The policeman, the pastor recalls, asked him brusquely: "What are you doing here?"
For Mr Gray that innocent-sounding question tipped him into a rage. He was a grown man, paying taxes towards the police officer's salary, driving on a highway also paid for with tax dollars, and driving home from preaching the gospel - he had as much right to be there as anyone.
But Mr Gray knew rage and indignation were not options. He told his 13-year-old son to put his hands up on the seat in front of him and answer the officer politely: "Yes sir, no sir."
Mr Gray adopted the same attitude. "I didn't say what was in my heart," he told me. "I said what I needed to get us home."
The indignity of that choice still smarts, for Mr Grey and for many African Americans. It's such a common experience that the phrase "driving while black" has entered American lexicon.
Mr Gray's story is a reminder of why race is such an important part of this election campaign and particularly so here in North Carolina.
When Charlotte, the state's booming financial centre, exploded in riots in September after a black man was killed by police, many African-Americans said the event simply exposed an existing reality.
Who is ahead in the polls?
48%
Hillary Clinton
44%
Donald Trump
Last updated November 8, 2016
Black voters still feel the Republican party just doesn't address their concerns over discrimination. In North Carolina, as elsewhere, these voters are overwhelmingly Democratic.
But ethnic and class lines are blurring here. This is a state that is changing fast.
It's seen an influx of newcomers. There has been a rapid rise in the Hispanic population, but a lot of well-educated whites from the Midwest have also moved here seeking jobs in the thriving urban centres of Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte.
Many of them lean Democrat.
But poor white voters tip North Carolina's rural areas towards Donald Trump.
These are people who used to work in textile mills that have now shifted jobs to Vietnam and Bangladesh.
Donald Trump promises to make American manufacturing great again and even if rural voters don't quite believe him they think he is more intent on trying than the established politician, Hillary Clinton.
As Sherry Chisenhall, the editor of the Charlotte Observer explained to me, it is a remarkable feature of this campaign that a white Manhattan billionaire can appeal to someone from a deeply rural area of a southern state and somehow make them feel "he gets me, he understand my struggle".
North Carolina is America's newest purple state.
It voted Republican in 2004, Democratic in 2008 and Republican again in 2012.
Donald Trump hopes it will swing red this year because it's almost impossible for him to win the White House if he doesn't win North Carolina.
Flash Day, 46, of Colchester, was angry about not being the sole inheritor of John Sales' house.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard he hired Ryan Hynes, 22, who stabbed Mr Sales 11 times with a "Rambo-style knife" - wounding him in the face, head, neck, chest, shoulder and back.
Hynes was jailed for 17 years and three months for the attack, which Mr Sales survived.
The hitman had admitted attempted murder and conspiracy to murder.
Live: For more stories from Essex
Day, who denied conspiracy to commit murder, was told he would serve at least 25 years in prison.
A previous hearing was told Hynes, of Long Road, Lawford, went into the garden of the 70-year-old victim's house in Hythe Hill, Colchester, on 10 November 2015 and carried out the attack.
Police described the knifing, which involved "10in (25cm) Rambo-style hunting knife", as "ferocious".
The pensioner managed to dial 999 and officers arrived to find him critically injured on his doorstep.
He was taken to hospital and put in an induced coma. He needed five operations and requires continuing medical treatment.
In May last year, a 17-year-old girl from Colchester, who had given Hynes an alibi, admitted perverting the course of justice.
She was sentenced to a 12-month rehabilitation order and a three-month curfew and supervision order.
The victim, aged in his 40s, was assaulted at Scarva Walk in Banbridge at about 16:00 BST on Friday.
A 20-year-old man is accused of attempted murder, assaulting police, theft and causing criminal damage.
Another man, aged 22, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and theft.
They are due to appear in court in Newry on Monday.
It comes after he dropped merger plans to cut 22 councils to eight or nine.
The 22 councils will remain as the "democratic tier" of local government, but "concerted collaboration" will be expected, the minister told AMs.
Former Cardiff council leader Russell Goodway warned of an "unfortunate fudge" creating unaccountable services.
Social care, educational improvement and educational improvement could be pooled along health board boundaries, with regional co-operation likely in transport and planning.
In a Senedd statement, Mr Drakeford said the plan would be to retain existing local authorities as the "front door" through which people access services, but with key services being delivered regionally.
"This will give local authorities more resilience in terms of staffing and finance and also ensure that services are planned and delivered on the right scale," he added.
Transport, planning and economic development could be run on a city region basis, while education improvement and social services could be aligned to health board boundaries, Mr Drakeford said.
He added that any councils wanting to "build their resilience further by voluntarily merging" would be supported to make it happen.
Further talks with councils, unions and other interested parties would take place leading to a "viable way forward" by the new year.
Ahead of the announcement, former Cardiff council leader Russell Goodway branded it as an "unfortunate fudge" and "the worst of all possible worlds".
"You're going to have seven indirectly elected local authorities instead of eight or nine directly elected," he told BBC Radio Wales, referring to co-operation within health board boundaries.
Speaking on Good Morning Wales, he said: "They're not directly accountable to the people that they serve - the voting public can't sack them because they don't know really who is in charge here.
"When you've got responsibilities like education and social care, there needs to be a direct relationship between those who are making the decisions and those that are receiving the service."
Dominic MacAskill, the trade union Unison's head of local government in Wales, said it was "sensible" for regionally-shared services to follow health board boundaries.
But he added that council workers and the public "want the assurance that councils will have the ability to deliver quality public services with a directly employed workforce and that people will have a democratic say over how services are provided".
Plaid Cymru's Shadow Local Government Secretary Sian Gwenllian accused Labour of "characteristic dithering" over the issue, but welcomed the prospect of a "U-turn" by scrapping plans to force "unpopular mergers".
She said her party wanted to see councils co-operate under a regional model, but claimed the plans to integrated health and social care were "not clear".
"Plaid Cymru wants to see them developed further in order to deliver a seamless service for patients," Ms Gwenllian said.
Welsh Conservative spokeswoman Janet Finch-Saunders said: "We need to be having a serious conversation about what services local authorities will be asked to provide in future and then develop a system to fit.
"Once again they're doing things the wrong way around."
The one clear advantage of this latest plan to reform councils will be the argument that it is achievable.
Proposals to dramatically cut the existing 22 local authorities to single figures proved to be overly ambitious for the previous Labour administration.
This is likely to have far greater cross-party political appeal at the Senedd, and will go down well with the councils themselves and the unions as it won't involve large-scale redundancies and upheaval.
The criticism will revolve around question marks over accountability and simplicity.
If the new regional partnerships are not judged to be performing well, how do you get rid of them?
It will also create an added tier of government, and inevitably greater complexity to a system that it is already unfathomable to many.
A final thought: if new joint cabinets are effective it will surely be a matter of time before people start asking the question about why there needs to be 22 separate local authorities.
And then we end up back where we started.
Marie Alphonsine Ghattas and Mariam Bawardy were among four new saints declared in Rome's St Peter's Square.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and over 2,000 Christian pilgrims from the region attended the ceremony.
The move is seen as a token of Vatican support for dwindling Christian communities in the Middle East.
On Saturday, Pope Francis met Mr Abbas at the Vatican, calling him "an angel of peace".
The promotion by Pope Francis to sainthood of these two women, born in Palestine when it was under Ottoman rule in the 19th Century, speaks volumes about his commitment to revitalising the diminishing Christian presence in the Middle East.
There was a large contingent of Arab Christians present in Saint Peter's Square for the ceremony, together with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and also a delegation from Israel.
Over the past year Arabic has been added to the five main languages used in Vatican information bulletins, and a new Vatican handbook in Arabic has just been published.
Veneration of the two new Palestinian saints will now be encouraged by the Vatican among Catholics around the world, not just in the Middle East.
Both are reputed to have performed miracles, according to research by church authorities.
Vatican boost for Christians in Holy Land
Mr Abbas' visit came just days after the Vatican formally recognised Palestinian statehood in a treaty.
The treaty states that the Holy See favours a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel and allows the Vatican to oversee aspects of Roman Catholic life in the areas President Abbas controls.
Israel expressed disappointment with the treaty, which uses the term "Palestinian state".
Marie Alphonsine Ghattas - who was born to a Palestinian family in Jerusalem - co-founded the Congregation of the Rosary Sisters, which today runs many kindergartens and schools.
Mariam Bawardy was born in Galilee to Greek Catholic parents from Syria and Lebanon.
A mystic, she is said to have carried out many miracles and to have experienced stigmata - wounds representing those suffered by Jesus on the cross.
Both nuns were educators who lived through tough conditions, overcoming male dominance in Ottoman society, poverty and ill-health while helping others.
They are said to have seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary and remained in close communication with her.
By granting these women sainthood, the Church is celebrating their good works but it is also showing support for Christians in the birthplace of their religion, the BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem reports.
The total number of Christians in Israel and the Palestinian territories has declined to less than 2% of the population.
This is partly because of growing Jewish and Muslim populations, but also because of the conflict and the chance of better opportunities abroad, our correspondent adds.
The Afan Lido was destroyed in a fire in 2009 and demolished in 2011.
Work to replace the complex is "on programme" says Neath Port Talbot council, with the main concrete works for both pools complete.
Gareth Nutt, director of environment, said: "The council is pleased with the progress that is being made."
He added: "With the striking new roof in position people are now able to see how the wave effect of the roof will look on completion."
The original Afan Lido was opened by the Queen in 1965 , and in its early days the venue hosted major concerts by Pink Floyd and Spencer Davis, and in recent years Coldplay and McFly.
BBC Sport selected 10 standout Premier League moments from this year and we asked our readers to rank their top 10.
For some - Leicester's title triumph and Jurgen Klopp's impact at Liverpool, for example - there were multiple moments we could have chosen, so we went for the one match that particularly defined that team's year.
The order of the top 10 was discussed on The Premier League Show on Wednesday, which you can watch again on BBC iPlayer.
Here's how the moments were ranked by you:
Leicester's Premier League title win will go down as one of the most memorable moments in football history, so it's no surprise 41% of BBC Sport users picked the Foxes as their top choice.
Many had been waiting for the Foxes' incredible run to falter, but doubters were turned into believers when Claudio Ranieri's side stunned nearest rivals Manchester City with a convincing 3-1 victory on 6 February to move five points clear.
And then, three months later, captain Wes Morgan and co were dancing around Jamie Vardy's kitchen as they watched Tottenham squander a two-goal lead to draw with Chelsea - a result which handed Leicester the title. Over 7,000 readers selected this as their second-favourite moment.
At number three is Liverpool's 5-4 win over Norwich from January, which is a prime example of what to expect from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool: exhilarating attacking play, wide-open defending, wild celebrations and missing glasses.
Norwich were 3-1 ahead in the second half, before having to recover to 4-4 in injury time, but Adam Lallana's late, late goal won it.
The England midfielder ripped off his shirt and everyone piled on manager Klopp, who lost his trademark glasses in the celebration melee.
Sunderland had been revived under Sam Allardyce and their 3-0 win over Everton in the penultimate game of the season meant his former side Newcastle and Norwich were cut four points adrift.
The Championship beckoned for Rafa Benitez's Magpies, while Allardyce went on to become England manager... for 58 days.
Jose Mourinho called himself 'The Special One' at Chelsea after winning seven trophies during his two spells in charge.
He received a warm welcome on his return to Stamford Bridge with Manchester United in October, but he left humiliated.
Pedro put the Blues 1-0 up after only 30 seconds and the horror show ended up finishing 4-0.
Teenager Marcus Rashford brought back heady memories of the Busby Babes and Fergie's Fledglings when he burst on to the scene in February.
The Manchester United forward - locally born and bred in Wythenshawe - scored twice on his debut against FC Midtjylland and, three days later, added two more as his side beat Arsenal 3-2.
Cue billions of internet searches for 'who is Marcus Rashford?'. The answer now? A first-team regular for United and England international.
On 10 May, West Ham finally bowed out of Upton Park after 112 years to move to the Olympic Stadium.
And their final game against Manchester United was described as a "blockbuster movie". And with good reason.
The visitors led 2-1 with 18 minutes left after Anthony Martial's double, but goals from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid gave the hosts victory.
And then came an extravagant closing ceremony, featuring fireworks, a light show, former players escorted around the pitch in London taxi cabs and Paolo di Canio in a purple suit.
Drama descended on tEtihad Stadium earlier this month. But while both sides clashed late on in ugly scenes, it was the significance of Chelsea's 3-1 win under new manager Antonio Conte that stood out.
This time last year the defending champions were in disarray and disharmony. Now, 12 months on the Italian has the Blues six points clear at the Premier League summit.
Twenty years ago in September, a Frenchman was plucked from Japanese side Grampus Eight and arrived in England as only the third foreign manager to take charge of a Premier League club.
Now, after two decades at Arsenal, 15 trophies, a new stadium and almost £700m spent on players, Arsene Wenger is the longest-serving - and most successful - overseas manager this country has known.
Wenger celebrated his anniversary at Turf Moor, where his side inflicted a cruel 1-0 defeat on Burnley, with the only goal of the game coming from Laurent Koscielny's slightly offside elbow.
With three La Liga and three Bundesliga titles under his belt, Pep Guardiola swaggered into the Premier League at Manchester City this summer and looked totally at home.
They really turned on the charm in their eighth win in eight matches, when they trounced Bournemouth 4-0.
City's winning run finally came to an end in September, in Guardiola's 11th match in charge, when they drew with Celtic in the Champions League. And it's not quite been the same since.
In Wednesday's Sportsday Live, we asked BBC Sport Online users to come up with their own personal 2016 sporting highlights.
Here's the best of them.
The 22-year-old scored 12 goals in 47 appearances for the Hatters last season, helping them reach the League Two play-offs.
He has moved to the ABAX for a "substantial fee", according to Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony.
MacAnthony also said Posh had turned down offers from Bristol Rovers for strikers Luke James and Tom Nichols.
James, 22, spent last season on loan at Rovers, playing 30 times, while 23-year-old Nichols scored 13 goals in 51 appearances for Posh last season.
MacAnthony added that the club are negotiating with a Scottish Premier League club over the sale of 22-year-old striker Shaq Coulthirst.
On the signing of Marriott, Peterborough boss Grant McCann told the club website: "He is like a young Craig Mackail-Smith in terms of his energy and his pace to run in behind and it is perhaps something that we have missed.
"I believe it is a good coup for us because there were a couple of Championship clubs in for him."

Fourteen defendants - aged between 32 and 46 - face a total of 97 charges. Nine of them are accused of murder.
It is the largest paramilitary murder trial in Belfast since the 1980s. There are almost 200 people in the courtroom.
The nine charged with murder are accused of being part of a UVF gang which killed leading UDA man Tommy English in October 2000.
Two brothers, David and Robert Stewart, are giving evidence against the 14 accused. In return, the two former UVF men got a reduced sentence for their part in the murder.
Thirteen defendants are in the dock - Haddock has been separated, sitting outside the dock surrounded by prison officers.
Two of his co-accused, Darren Moore and Ronald Bowe, were previously charged with trying to murder Haddock in 2006, but charges were dropped when he refused to give evidence.
Supporters of the friends staged a low-key protest outside Laganside courts against the use of so-called supergrasses.
Halloween murder
Gordon Kerr QC opened the case for the prosecution and took the court back to Halloween night in 2000 when Mr English was murdered.
He outlined the evidence the Stewart brothers will give to the court on how the murder was conceived, planned and carried out
Mr English was gunned down in front of his wife at his home in the Ballyduff estate in Newtownabbey, during a feud between the UDA and the UVF.
Both the UVF (Ulster Volunter Force) and UDA (Ulster Defence Association) are loyalist paramilitary groups responsible for the murder of hundreds of people during the troubles.
It will be the biggest and most expensive criminal trial to be held in Northern Ireland for many years.
The 14 defendants will be represented by 24 barristers and eight firms of solicitors and the trial is expected to last for 11 weeks.
The term supergrass was first used in Northern Ireland in the 1980s when a number of terrorist suspects were convicted on the evidence of former comrades.
However, after a series of appeals, the credibility of the witnesses was called into question and all those convicted under the system were released.
The trial beginning on Tuesday is being held under new legislation introduced in 2005, the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, which allows a suspect to enter a written agreement to give evidence against other alleged criminals.
The police investigation which led to the arrests followed a damning report by the former Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan in 2007.
She said a UVF gang based in the Mount Vernon estate in north Belfast had been involved in up to 15 murders and that Special Branch had allowed its informers within the Mount Vernon UVF to act with impunity.
The increase adds £31.59 to a Band D property.
Local authorities have been increasing the basic rate of council tax by up to 3% for the first time since 2007, however higher-band properties are paying more automatically after MSPs approved changes.
The 3% rise will see Band H properties in Shetland pay £551.25 more. | Nurses are being urged to use their vote in the Northern Ireland Assembly election, with a trade union saying Stormont's collapse has meant momentum has been lost in attempts to reform the health service.

Lord Darzi said the NHS should prefer providers who deliver the highest quality care - whether they are "public, private or not-for-profit".
His comments intensify a row within the Labour Party over outsourcing NHS care.
Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham recently said the private market was "not the answer".
But speaking to BBC Newsnight, Lord Darzi - one of the country's top surgeons - said the debate should focus on securing the best possible care - regardless of where it comes from.
"If the debate doesn't focus on the quality of care, then every patient and every clinician will know that the real argument about what matters has already been lost," he said.
He is the latest Labour Party member to speak out against Mr Burnham's apparent change in policy.
Julian Le Grand, a former senior policy advisor to ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair, and an architect of many Labour health reforms, said competition within the health service "seems to work".
He said Mr Burnham was at risk of wasting money if he ignored it.
"We learnt in the Blair government that you have to have pressure from outside if you're going to reform a poorly performing hospital," he said.
"That pressure can come from competition. It seems to work, it's a good thing to have and if Andy Burnham ends up pouring more money into the health service without that, that money is going to be wasted."
Mr Burnham has said a Labour government would reinstate the NHS as "preferred provider" of services to ensure hospitals worked together rather than in competition with each other
However, Mr Le Grande said the preferred provider policy was "daft".
"It's protectionist, it's going to protect the inefficient. It's going to protect the incompetence, it's going to protect the low quality service," he said.
"What we need is a healthy dose of competition in order to put pressure on reform, pressure on improvement, pressure on performance."
Earlier this month, Mr Burnham said the NHS was on "a path towards privatisation and marketisation".
He said if the NHS carried on with experimentation of the market it will "destroy everything that is precious"
Meanwhile, David Blunkett, a former cabinet minister under Tony Blair, appealed for calm within the party, telling Newsnight that now was not the time for "an unproductive battle between old and New Labour".
"We should be proud of the achievements of the past and visionary about the potential achievements of the future," the former home secretary said.
"This is a very different moment in time and the generation leading the party need our advice behind the scenes and our whole-hearted support in campaigning for success in the general election." | A former Labour health minister has told the BBC it is irrelevant whether NHS care is delivered by the private or the public sector. | 31,052,010 | 597 | 26 | false |
Warmer than usual weather curbed demand for electricity and gas, while output in the manufacturing sector continued to decline.
The Office for National Statistics said industrial output fell 1.1% in December compared with a 0.8% fall in November.
Manufacturing output fell 0.2% in December for the third month in a row.
The industrial output figures cover output in the manufacturing (the largest component of production), mining and quarrying, energy, water supply and waste management industries.
The ONS also estimated that industrial output in the fourth quarter saw a revised fall of 0.5%, as against previous estimates of a 0.2% decline.
Output from the oil and gas extraction sector fell 4.6% in December, the biggest fall since September, partly explained by the fall in Brent crude oil prices, which fell 16% in December alone and 35% in 2015 as a whole.
"The UK's economy expanded 0.5% in the fourth quarter, but this early estimate could easily be trimmed if poor construction output numbers on Friday follow the industrial data," Pantheon Macroeconomics economist Samuel Tombs said.
The second official estimate of UK economic growth in the three months to the end of December is due to be published on 25 February.
The manufacturing sector failed to contribute to UK economic growth in 2015 and the latest figures do not promise much of a recovery in 2016.
The industrial production figures come a day after the UK's annual traded goods deficit was shown to have widened to the biggest on record in 2015, at £125bn.
Wednesday's figures suggest the government's efforts to rebalance the economy, supported by a "march of the makers", have yet to bear fruit with Tuesday's trade figures showing a surplus of £90bn in services exports, primarily supported by the financial services sector.
"December's sharp drop in industrial production will fuel concerns about the UK economic outlook as well as the unbalanced nature of growth," IHS Global Insight economist Howard Archer said. | Industrial output in the UK suffered its sharpest monthly drop in three years in December, official figures show. | 35,540,128 | 423 | 22 | false |

After a 3-0 first-leg victory, they had to work for the win in Latvia and goalkeeper Joe Lewis saved a first-half penalty from Antons Jemelins.
He made further saves from Alans Sinelnikovs and Alexei Alekseev.
But the Dons wrapped up the tie when Jonny Hayes cut back for Adam Rooney to drive into the net and set up a tie with either Maribor or Levski Sofia.
It was Rooney's second of the tie and his ninth in European competition, seven of them scored against Latvian opposition after scoring five over two legs against Daugava Riga two years ago.
The striker now overtakes Gordon Strachan and Joe Harper in terms of goals scored by Aberdeen players in continental competition with only Mark McGhee, John Hewitt and Drew Jarvie ahead of him now.
The goal was reward for a much improved second-half performance from the team in general after a rather flat first half, although that still saw Rooney have a goal chalked off.

It was a professional, if unspectacular display early on with Aberdeen's only real moments of anxiety in the first half coming in the occasional mix-ups involving Ash Taylor and Mark Reynolds, but the Latvians weren't given many chances to fully exploit them.
It was pretty scrappy at times but Dons goalkeeper Lewis did not have a serious save to make in the first half until Ventspils were awarded a controversial penalty just four minutes from the break.
Taylor challenged Alekseev in the box and although the striker went down theatrically the Serbian referee Danilo Grujic pointed to the penalty spot leaving the Dons players and manager incensed.
Thankfully Lewis dived to his right to pull off a fine double save to push away Jemelins' spot-kick.
Just before that Ryan Jack's long range drive was touched onto the bar by Maksims Uvarenko and while Rooney pounced to net the rebound the assistant's flag was already raised.
That apart, Hayes glanced a header wide, Niall McGinn angled a drive off target while at the other end Ritvars Rugins shot wide and Girts Karlsons headed over the bar as occasional chances came and went.
Aberdeen certainly started the second half with increased pace and intensity, best shown when Hayes and Rooney combined in a sweeping move but Kenny McLean had to stretch too far to convert at the back post.
They played a lot more intelligently on the deck, pressing Ventpils back more effectively with the pressure bringing a free-kick that led to Uvarenko brilliantly pushing away McGinn's swerving 20-yard effort.
The standard of goalkeeping remained just as high at the other end though as Lewis made another crucial block to prevent Simonus Paulius giving Ventspils any hope of a win on the night.
That disappeared completely when Rooney anticipated the surging run and cross from Hayes and was in the right place to take full advantage from about 12 yards out.
Aberdeen could have had another couple as Ventspils wilted towards the end, with substitute Wes Burns causing problems and Graeme Shinnie was denied when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
Worle Community School in Weston-super-Mare was rated inadequate, and safeguarding was rated as ineffective, in an Ofsted report in April.
Following a monitoring inspection Ofsted has now said the school has made positive and significant changes under its new leadership.

In a letter sent to the school's head teacher, Ofsted said "significant, positive change" in the "standard of pupils' behaviour" and "policies, practice and culture of safeguarding" had been brought about in a short period of time.

The timing on triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty means the UK looks set to leave the EU by summer 2019.
Mrs May told the Tory Party conference - her first as prime minister - the government would strike a deal with the EU as an "independent, sovereign" UK.
Voters had given their verdict "with emphatic clarity", she said, and ministers had to "get on with the job".
In a speech on the first day of the conference in Birmingham, she also gave details of a Great Repeal Bill which she said would end EU law's primacy in the UK.
She attacked those who "have still not accepted the result of the referendum", adding: "It is up to the government not to question, quibble or backslide on what we have been instructed to do, but to get on with the job."
She told delegates: "We are going to be a fully independent, sovereign country - a country that is no longer part of a political union with supranational institutions that can override national parliaments and courts.
"And that means we are going, once more, to have the freedom to make our own decisions on a whole host of different matters, from how we label our food to the way in which we choose to control immigration."
Mrs May said a "truly global Britain is possible, and it is in sight", adding: "We don't need - as I sometimes hear people say - to 'punch above our weight' because our weight is substantial enough already."
Reacting to Mrs May's comments about Article 50:
The PM, who had previously only said she would not trigger Article 50 this year, ended speculation about the government's timetable on BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning.
She said it would be done by "the first quarter of 2017", marking the start of a two-year exit process.
The process of leaving the EU would be "quite complex", she said, but added that she hoped there would now be "preparatory work" with the remaining EU members so that "once the trigger comes we will have a smoother process of negotiation".
She added: "It's not just important for the UK, but important for Europe as a whole that we're able to do this in the best possible way so we have the least disruption for businesses, and when we leave the EU we have a smooth transition from the EU."
The PM also said June's vote to leave the EU had been a "clear message from the British people that they want us to control movement of people coming into the UK".
Theresa May has appeared dozens of times on Tory conference platforms before, but before she had uttered a word, this afternoon marked an occasion that will matter to the party's history.
She may not have been elected as prime minister, but with four years until the next general election, far from sticking to David Cameron's plan, she plans not to waste a minute implementing her agenda.
It will be far from easy - former ministers are already muttering about her direction. She has a tiny majority, and no individual mandate for her reforms.
But on the biggest challenge before her - taking the UK out of the European Union - Theresa May still is characteristically reticent.

Mrs May also promised a "Great Repeal Bill" in the next Queen's Speech, to remove the European Communities Act 1972 from the statute book and enshrine all existing EU law into British law.
The repeal bill will enable Parliament to amend and cancel any unwanted legislation and also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.
Mrs May said this was an "important step", adding: "That means the UK will be an independent sovereign nation, it will be making its own laws."
The repeal of the 1972 act will not take effect until the UK leaves the EU under Article 50.

The victims insisted they were taking a cow's carcass for skinning, as was their tradition.
Also in July, two Muslim women were beaten up by vigilantes over accusations that they had been carrying beef.
Speaking in the capital Delhi on Saturday, Mr Modi said he would ask state governments across India to investigate anyone linked to such vigilante attacks.
He said he believed "70-80% of them will turn out to be people who are involved in anti-social activities and masquerade as cow protectors to save themselves".
Up to now some commentators believed Mr Modi was staying quiet on the issue of vigilantes so he could maintain his appeal among Hindu nationalist voters, the BBC's Charles Haviland says.
Mr Modi was similarly criticised last year, when he took two weeks to condemn the lynching of a Muslim man over rumours he had stored and consumed beef.
The slaughter of cows is banned in several Indian states.
But the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government has come under increasing pressure from Hindu hardliners to do more to protect cows.
The majority of India's estimated 1.2 billion population is Hindu. However the country is also home to large Muslim, Christian and Buddhist minorities.
Matthew Hoare, 21, of Chartham, Kent died in January 2006 while working for Watling Tyres in Canterbury.
The company has pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court to health and safety breaches.
His mother Carolyn Hoare said: "I feel like my heart has been ripped out. There's not a moment I don't think about him."
Mr Hoare had been sent to fix a puncture on an earth mover in Sandwich when the tyre blew up.
In April 2013 an inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death.
In January 2015 it was announced Watling Tyres would face three charges of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act and Working Time Regulations.
Mrs Hoare said: "You live it every day - it doesn't go away. You go to bed thinking about it and you dream during the night.
"I'm living it every day - it's been hell."
Watling Tyres will be sentenced at a later date.
United created several good chances in the first half, with Juan Mata's deflected free-kick hitting the post.
Home keeper Hugo Lloris also denied Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie and Ashley Young as Spurs offered little.
Spurs's Andros Townsend saw two shots easily saved, but the hosts rallied late on with Ryan Mason firing over.
Mauricio Pochettino's team have scored late winners against Swansea and Leicester recently but, despite enjoying almost 65% of possession in the final 15 minutes, could not create any last-gasp drama against third-placed United.

United boss Louis van Gaal grimaced as he disappeared down the White Hart Lane tunnel, probably wondering how his side did not close the gap on leaders Chelsea and second-placed City, who both also dropped points on Sunday.
The Dutchman has been critical of the Premier League's busy Christmas schedule, but decided to name an unchanged XI from the 3-1 home win against Newcastle less than 48 hours earlier.
It was the first time in 85 Premier League games - since November 2012 - that the Red Devils named an unchanged line-up.
Despite the short turnaround, his players looked full of energy as they dominated the first half, moving the ball quickly - and with purpose - as they picked holes in the Spurs defence.
Mata's free-kick clipped the home wall and deflected on to Lloris's left-hand post before only Vlad Chiriches's desperate lunge prevented Falcao scrambling in the rebound.
Seconds later, Phil Jones thought his close-range header had crossed the Spurs line before Jan Vertonghen's acrobatic clearance, and although the United defender was proved right by goal-line technology, he was denied by an offside flag.
While the possession and territorial statistics were evenly matched, United continued to create the goalscoring opportunities.

Falcao shot tamely at Lloris, Van Persie could not convert when clean through and the France keeper brilliantly tipped away Young's curling shot.
But United appeared to tire after the break, failing to have a shot on target, as Spurs improved.
Knowing they would move into the top four with their fourth straight win, Spurs pressed higher up the pitch as the visitors were not allowed the time or space that they enjoyed in the first half.
Pochettino's men have struggled to score at White Hart Lane - netting just seven times in their last nine Premier League home games - and felt they could have been awarded a penalty when Harry Kane tumbled under Wayne Rooney's challenge.
But Spurs rarely troubled United keeper David De Gea as they continue to search for their first home league win against United since May 2001.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino:
"I think it's a fair result. Today our performance was good - it was a great effort from the players. It was a difficult first half against a Manchester United team with great players, but we believed and showed we were solid. We are improving with every game.
"Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. It's not new for me. We know the quality from Hugo.
"Maybe it was a penalty on Kane, from seeing it on the TV. But during the game it was difficult to see from my position if it was a penalty or not."
Elizabeth Hughes told the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) she had broken up with her husband in 2009.
She fraudulently claimed the benefits before telling the DWP they had reconciled in 2013.
Investigators found posts on Facebook describing her "bestest" husband.
Dundee Sheriff Court was told that none of the money had been repaid.
Depute fiscal Vicki Bell told Dundee Sheriff Court: "An investigation revealed there had never been a separation.
"Joint bank accounts operated with his salary being paid in and joint expenses going out.
"Holiday payments, TV licence and other household expenses were paid jointly.
"Her Facebook page had a photo of them on holiday together during the period of the claim.
"There was also a post on Facebook saying he was 'the bestest husband' posted during the period of the claim that she was single."
Hughes, 36, of Dundee, pleaded guilty to a charge under the Tax Credits Act.
Defence solicitor Larry Flynn said: "She is realistic enough to know that the starting point here will be custody."
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael told Hughes: "I regret that I don't think there's any other way of dealing with this.
"This was a fraud of £32,000 of public money."

Batting first, Afghanistan recovered from 56-5 to post 123-7, with Najib Zadran hitting a composed unbeaten 48.
West Indies, who had won their first three matches, slumped from 79-3 to 117-8 to hand Afghanistan their biggest ever win, but still top Group 1.
The result confirms that England will play New Zealand in Delhi on Wednesday in their semi-final.
West Indies - who rested Chris Gayle for this game - will play their semi-final in Mumbai on Thursday.
Afghanistan return home having lost their first three games at this stage, but they will be buoyed by their first ever victory over a Test-playing side other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.

It was a fully deserved win for Asghar Stanikzai's side, who had given South Africa and England major scares in their two previous matches.
They had failed to capitalise on reducing England to 56-6, but this was initially a much less promising performance as they lost early wickets to the spin of Samuel Badree and Sulieman Benn.
However, from 76-5 after 15 overs, they came to life, with Zadran swatting four fours and a six to give them something to bowl at.
On the same Nagpur pitch where New Zealand defended 126 against India, Afghanistan - playing four spinners - were always in the game.
After three early wickets, a partnership of 41 between Dwayne Bravo and Denesh Ramdin seemed to have rescued West Indies, but when Ramdin was out stumped, Afghanistan seized their chances, with Mohammed Nabi taking two wickets and bowling a nerveless final over to seal victory.
However, with only 10 teams due to participate at the 2019 World Cup, this could be the last we see of Afghanistan in a major tournament for some time.
The West Indies advance to the last four for the third World Twenty20 in a row, but they will have major concerns after another brittle performance by their batting line-up.
Having only narrowly chased 123 against South Africa, this time they came unstuck, with only Dwayne Bravo (26) and Johnson Charles (22) passing 20 as five wickets fell to spin.
Carlos Brathwaite hit two sixes to give them hope, but with 10 required off the final over, he was brilliantly caught by Najib at cow corner.
To add to the West Indies' worries, Andre Fletcher - who hit 84 not out against Sri Lanka - retired hurt and would seem to be a major fitness doubt for the semi-final.
But Darren Sammy's side will be confident in their bowling, which was once again excellent, with Badree's 3-14 the standout performance.
Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai: "Winning this match is very important. We needed one win in this tournament after missing two good chances to get one.
"Today the guys played really well. We thought we might be short 15 runs or so, but we still bowled very well and fielded very well, Najib especially."
West Indies captain Darren Sammy: "We're disappointed, but we're not going to let it dampen our spirits. They played well and we need to find a way to chase down those small totals.
"We have a semi-final and we're looking forward to that. We've done the most important part, which is getting through to the last four.
"We were just looking to win the match. It would have been good to win all four, but we understand that this was the only one we could afford to lose in terms of winning the trophy."
She was speaking as she launched her party's "alternative programme for government".
It sets out proposals for a series of bills which Ms Dugdale wants the Scottish government to introduce over the next five years.
The SNP said Labour's proposals had already been rejected by voters in May.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is due to reveal her legislative plans for the coming year when MSPs return on Holyrood next week.
Scottish Labour is currently the third largest party at Holyrood behind the SNP and Conservatives.
Launching her alternative programme - much of which was also included in her party's manifesto for the Scottish Parliament election in May - Ms Dugdale said the Scottish government should focus on reforming public services rather that the constitution.
Ms Dugdale also said the results of the independence referendum in 2014 and June's Brexit vote had both been "definitive" and there was no need for a referendum in either case.
It follows Owen Smith, who Ms Dugdale is backing to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, saying on Wednesday that "of course" he would not oppose a second referendum on independence if the SNP attempted to hold one.
But Mr Smith - who has called for a second referendum on the UK's EU membership - also said it would be down to Scottish Labour to decide the party's position on another independence referendum.
Ms Dugdale's alternative programme includes an Education Bill aimed at closing the attainment gap between Scotland's wealthiest and most deprived pupils by establishing a Fair Start Fund to help youngsters in deprived areas, paid for by increasing income tax on the highest earners.
It would also establish a breakfast club for youngsters in every primary school, and abolish charges for exam appeals.
Scottish Labour's other proposals include:
Ms Dugdale said Labour would offer "strong progressive opposition" over the next five years, adding: "We are the only party that wants what the Scottish people want - a strong Scotland inside the UK and maintaining our relationship with Europe."
She also branded the Conservatives as "Scotland's Brexit party" as she launched an attack on leader Ruth Davidson.
She said: "After years of constitutional debate, it is time for the first minister and all Scottish government ministers to focus on the job of reforming and investing in our public services and getting people back to work.
"As I said repeatedly during the election campaign, education is Labour's priority. Investing in the next generation so that they are prepared for the jobs that will drive the Scottish economy in the future."
Responding to her speech, an SNP spokesman said: "Labour have already presented their alternative programme for government in May's Holyrood election - where it was roundly rejected by voters and they slumped to a humiliating third place in Scottish politics.
"Meanwhile the SNP is getting on with governing for a historic third term, prioritising investment in education, record funding for our NHS, £100m in additional capital spending to grow our economy and a determination to protect Scotland's place in the EU."
In many areas across the country, there were delays, with some skirmishes also reported as contestants accused their opponents of rigging.
Mr Kenyatta admitted to reporters that not enough election materials had been provided.
The primaries are in preparation for August's national poll.
The election will take place nearly a decade after disputed election results fuelled violence that left more than 1,000 dead and 500,000 displaced.
However elections in 2013 passed off relatively peacefully.
Mr Kenyatta said his Jubilee Party had underestimated the number of people who would turn out for the nominations.
"Let us avoid pointing fingers," he said in a series of tweets.
Mr Kenyatta called on voters and contestants to be patient as the party prepared to repeat the vote in the affected areas.
The Jubilee party was holding primaries in 21 out of the 47 counties on Friday, most of them party strongholds.
Nominations in the capital Nairobi had already been pushed back to Monday. The remaining counties will nominate their candidates on Tuesday.
Parties must hold their primaries by Wednesday, the election authorities have said.
Last week, similar polls for the opposition Orange Democratic Movement led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga witnessed violence, particularly in the western Kenya region.
Mr Kenyatta is seeking a second term in office.
He is being opposed by a coalition of opposition parties known as the National Super Alliance, which is expected to announce its presidential candidate next week.
The band's much talked about new album is on pause, according to bassist Mikey 'Shoes' Shuman, who says they are taking a break.
There was a six-year break between 2007's Era Vulgaris and their 2013 comeback, ...Like Clockwork.
Mikey has told Gigwise that he's concentrating on his other band, Mini Mansions, for now.
It will come as a disappointment after frontman Josh Homme said there were new songs ready to go last year and they were hoping to hit the studio as soon as they could.
Mikey says he's getting ready to release a new album Mini Mansions instead.
"We were eager because we were in a good spot, having fun and the record had done really well," he told Gigwise.
"But we decided to take a break because we had been going so hard for so long, and we really worked on that record for a long time."
He said there were no hard feelings.
"It's not like we're sick of each other and don't want to do it. It's just better to step back for a second and come back once the world has had a little bit of a break from you."
Shuman also says fans can be reassured there is new material in the pipeline.
"There will be future stuff with Queens, we're just taking a break since we had a long, long two years of touring. We'll take a break to do other stuff."
Mini Mansions have been touring with Royal Blood and their new single Vertigo is a collaboration with Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys.
"Mini Mansions is my focus right now," said Mikey.
"I think music and working with different people is the kind of process where you gain things along the way.
"Whether it's a big band, a small band, a different production or crew - you learn something from everybody, well I do. "
He said Queens of the Stone Age were open to the idea too.
"It's a very open family and everyone is free to do what they want and bring different aspects about what they do to the table."
Mini Mansion's new album The Great Pretenders is out on Monday.

San Francisco based Captiv8 said internet "influencers" with a following of three to seven million people could also make $75,000 on average for a promotional post on Instagram.
A native advert on Twitter cost about $30,000 on average, it added.
The Advertising Standards Authority said these posts must be properly marked as advertisements.
Celebrities and their agents have in recent years found lucrative opportunities to endorse goods and services across social media and video websites.
Last week, Kim Kardashian published a video clip on Instagram in association with the hair vitamins provider SugarBear Hair.
The message began with the hashtag #ad - which denotes it as an advertisement - and read: "Excited to be partnering with @sugarbearhair to share their amazing hair vitamins with you! These chewable gummy vitamins are delicious and a favourite part of my hair care routine."
Such adverts can bring in serious money if your subscriber numbers are high, according to Captiv8, a marketing company that brokers social media deals.
According to Captiv8's data, which was given to the New York Times, "someone with three million to seven million followers can charge, on average, $187,500 for a post on YouTube".
It added that $75,000 was the average fee for "a post on Instagram or Snapchat", while $30,000 was the charge for a message on Twitter.
One digital marketing agency that spoke to the BBC said Captiv8's findings seemed "possible but a little high", while another said the number was "not surprising at all". Both asked not to be named.
Influencers with a more modest following on social media still stand to make meaningful income from native advertisements.
Personalities with 50,000 to 500,000 followers can make $2,500 per YouTube ad, and $1,000 for an Instagram post.
The Advertising Standards Authority, which regulates advertisements across TV, print and the web, says these promotional posts must be clearly marked.
"If a social media user has been paid to post something and does not have editorial control over the post, then it becomes an ad," an ASA official told the BBC.
"In this instance, they need to label the post appropriately and clearly state it is an ad.
"This label must be immediately obvious to the reader before they engage in watching or reading the post."
Gifts and other perks should technically be deemed as payments, it added.
The ASA regulates adverts produced and distributed in the UK only.
In 2012, it banned a Nike promotional campaign published on footballer Wayne Rooney's Twitter feed after ruling it had not been clearly "identifiable as marketing communications".
However, to this day the Tweet remains online.
Then two years later, the ASA blocked a series of YouTube videos that promoted a challenge to an Oreo biscuit "lick race".
Meanwhile, in July, Warner Bros reached a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, after the entertainment group was found to be paying YouTube personalities for promotional videos of its game Shadow of Mordor.

In an entertaining first-round tie, Halifax were good value for a replay and will perhaps feel unfortunate to have not advanced at the first attempt.
Captain Liam King spurned the best chance of the game during an end-to-end first half, firing over from just four yards following Tom Denton's knock-down.
Dagenham were far from their best. Sitting third in the National League, the Daggers' potent front three of Jordan Maguire-Drew, Corey Whitely and Oliver Hawkins were unable to click on a frustrating afternoon.
Maguire-Drew looked threatening from set pieces, testing Steven Drench on a number of occasions, as John Still's side searched in vain for a decisive breakthrough.
National League North representatives Halifax were grateful to Drench during the opening 45 minutes, denying Whitely from point-blank range twice.
Firstly the Shayman stopper was on hand to paw away the winger's goal-bound header before reacting instinctively to push Whitely's shot off target.
A real scrap emerged in the second half with both sides struggling to take control, meaning Dagenham will head north for a first-round replay on 15 November.
Report supplied by the Press Association.

Barnardo's runs a family holiday scheme in east Belfast which includes a free breakfast.
"During the long nine-week holiday families struggle with rising costs," said the charity's Nicola Hannigan.
The Trussell Trust, which operates a number of foodbanks in Northern Ireland, has also run similar schemes this summer in Lisburn and Londonderry.
The summer scheme run by Barnardo's is held at Tullycarnet Primary School.
It is aimed at children from the area who receive free school meals, and before the day's activity a free breakfast is provided.
The local Co-Op supermarket and Dundonald foodbank donate the food, which includes cereal, toast, fresh fruit and juice.
Parents also attend the scheme with their children.
Mum Claire Stevenson - who brings her three sons - said many found the summer break tough.
"One of the reasons people get free school meals is simply because they can't afford them," she said.
"They've got used to having this nice hot meal prepared for their children and now they have to prepare that for them at home."
"Some people just don't have the means."
"We are an area of serious under-privilege here and it's frightening to think that some children are hungry."
Barnardo's run the breakfast club three days a week at the scheme, and the demand has been high, according to Nicola Hannigan.
"We've had well up into the 90s, with a lot of families with children under the age of five," she said.
"Families have said they appreciate that they can get up and don't have to worry about that one meal a day."
"It is the most important meal of the day, so we thought it would be a good way to support them."
Families wash up their own dishes after breakfast, and parents can then stay with their children for the rest of the day's activities.
That also brings important benefits, according to Debbie McCord who attends with her daughter and niece.
"It gets mummies out and children mixing with other children," she said.
"Mummies that maybe don't know anybody can come down and interact with everybody else, so it's great for them and the children."
Earlier this year, some teaching unions expressed concern that increasing numbers of children were coming to school hungry.
According to Department of Education figures, 101,063 pupils were eligible for free school meals in 2015/16, with 82,002 of eligible pupils taking them up.
Parents who are working in low-income jobs or are on some benefits can apply for free school meals for their children.
Some children with special educational needs are also eligible.
The judges in the Great British High Street competition decided that Falmouth in Cornwall should be given first place in the coastal community category.
Prestatyn and the Lincolnshire resort of Cleethorpes were named runners up.
The competition attracted more than 900 entries.
It is run by the UK government's communities department.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said: "Our high streets are going from strength to strength as this year's Great British High Street competition shows.
"Town centres are being revitalised, with vacancy rates falling over the last year."
Salford are third in Super League but only 3,128 were at their last match.
Koukash said there were "no plans" to leave the AJ Bell Stadium but they are "looking to explore all opportunities".
The club say they will speak to fans through "face-to-face interviews, focus groups and a mass digital survey".
Former Salford player Robbie Hunter-Paul has been brought in by the club to "consult and drive this project ahead".
"We have by far the lowest home support and we need to see why that is," Koukash said.
"We fully deserve to be in the top four, but against Widnes (on Sunday) the home support level was just above 2,200 which is not enough to sustain a Super League club.
"The level of support is less than when I came in four years ago so something is not right and we need to find out why and what we can do to reverse the trend."
Salford's ground - which they share with rugby union side Sale Sharks - is just three miles from Manchester United's Old Trafford home and seven from Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.
Chief executive Ian Blease said to fans on social media he was "disappointed" with ticket sales and that the team "deserves better".
Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester before the research project was announced, he added: "I am not a politician, I won't spin it. It was a rally cry to get behind this team.
"I was voicing disappointment. Whether people took it as a negative, that is up to them. This city of Salford needs to get behind this team."
BBC Radio Manchester's Jack Dearden
Nobody is criticising the supporters Salford have got. They are having a great season, are entertaining and having the best season for a long time.
I can understand the project. Salford wouldn't be doing this right if they didn't explore opportunities to increase the support base. It might mean a really big decision being made in the future.
I would never dispute the support they get from genuine Salford fans.
But Salford are right in the middle of the M62 corridor. It is not necessarily the fans that support the club, it is those on the periphery that they need to entice.
The revised figure is more than £3.5m above the previous estimate reported by the health board late last year.
Deputy director of finance Graham Stewart described the level of savings required as unprecedented.
The figure equates to about 7% of the region's health budget and is substantially higher than the board has ever previously achieved.
The total includes an anticipated savings shortfall of almost £5m which is expected to be carried over from the current financial year.
Medical departments are being challenged to re-examine their approach to delivering efficiencies and identify new areas which could be reviewed.
The board has previously highlighted the costs of staffing medical vacancies and absences as one area of pressure.
A number of programmes being taken forward looking at reducing "waste and duplication" around drugs costs.
Getting rid of buildings the health board no longer needs is also being considered.
The decree applies to those who have fled the war-torn country and those still living there, Sana reported.
It does not include people who joined rebels in the civil war.
At least 70,000 men have avoided military service, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
More than 80,000 soldiers and pro-government militiamen have been killed since the start of the conflict in March 2011.
The Syrian army which is fighting rebels and jihadist groups, began a recruitment drive at the start of July to try to tackle its personnel shortage.
It has suffered setbacks in recent months in the north-western province of Idlib and the ancient city of Palmyra, which was taken over by Islamic State militants.
Deserters must turn themselves in within two months to be covered by the amnesty announced on Saturday.
A military source told AFP the decree "only includes those who defected and who did not participate in military activities after their defection or stain their hands with blood".
Syria has a conscript army with 18 months compulsory service. Deserters normally face imprisonment.
President Assad has issued similar amnesties for criminals in the past, but excluded the thousands of political prisoners.
Raymond Bell, 29, repeatedly kicked and stamped on David Black's head during the attack in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, on 1 November last year.
Mr Black was left in a persistent vegetative state and requires round-the-clock nursing care.
Bell denied the attack but was convicted of attempted murder.
Jailing him at the High Court in Livingston, temporary judge John Morris told Bell: "The jury convicted you of attempted murder and as you'll appreciate that's a very serious offence.
"In this particular case you'll also appreciate the consequences of your actions were very grave indeed for the victim.
"Although the victim is still alive he'll continue to have no quality of life whatsoever. In those circumstances, you'll appreciate only a substantial sentence is appropriate in your case."
Bell was also told he would be supervised for three years following his release from prison.
In a blow to the Scarlets' Pro 12 title ambitions, head coach Wayne Pivac confirmed that Shingler damaged his medial knee ligament in the dramatic win over Edinburgh last weekend.
"We had thought it was worse than it is, but it could be anywhere in the range of eight weeks," Pivac confirmed.
"It is unfortunate. Steve earned the right to start and he did well against Edinburgh before the injury."
Ulster host Scarlets in the Pro12 on Sunday, the first game Shingler will miss as the Welsh team battle to remain among the competition's main contenders.
Coach Pivac feels the Scarlets' victory over Edinburgh last time out could be a defining result.
"It could be a season changer for us. A defeat would have pushed us out of the top four. So it was a very, very good win for us," he said.
"It is pleasing to come out with the win in many tight games this season, at the death we have done especially well."
Pivac also confirmed that flanker James Davies is closing in on his comeback, having been injured since the end of November.
"James is running well, he has had another scan, which has been really positive and he is not far away," he said.
Bill payers switched providers 7.7 million times, saving potentially more than £200 a year, according to Ofgem.
However, looming price rises by some of the UK's biggest suppliers would test how competitive the market was, the regulator said.
Firms were not doing enough for about two thirds of customers, Ofgem added.
In the coming weeks, standard gas and electricity tariffs will go up at Npower, Scottish Power, Co-operative Energy and First Utility, while EDF will raise electricity prices.
Ofgem chief executive Dermot Nolan said the increase in customer switching should act as a "warning" to such suppliers.
"If they fail to keep prices under control or do not provide a good service, they risk being punished as customers vote with their feet," Mr Nolan said.
"While today's figures show good progress, the market is not as competitive as we would like."
About two thirds of energy customers remain on standard tariffs or pre-payment deals, which often offer far worse value, the regulator said.
Despite intense competition, multiple government and consumer group initiatives and soaring fuel bills, not enough people switch suppliers with any regularity.
Last year saw 7.7 million switches - but that's not 7.7 million households, since some people change gas or electricity providers separately.
It is progress, though. As ever the easier and quicker it is to switch the more of it will occur.
Small and medium-sized firms have put great store on the full roll-out of smart meters, which they hope will allow customers to switch in 23 hours, rather than the 21 days it still takes.
Half of households have never switched suppliers, proving that you can lead a horse to water....
Claire Osborne, energy expert at price comparison site uSwitch, said many customers could guard against bill hikes by swapping providers.
By shopping around and switching to a fixed deal, they could "protect against any more unwelcome price rises", she added.
It now takes three weeks to switch suppliers, down from five weeks three years ago, according to Ofgem.
Customer complaints about switching dropped 36% last year, suggesting companies are also managing the process better, the Energy Ombudsman said.
Lawrence Slade, chief executive of the trade association Energy UK, said the high rate of swapping showed "competition was working for more and more households".
"The industry is committed to ensuring the market works for everyone and is taking action to engage with loyal customers," he said.
Last week, British Gas, which is freezing gas and electricity prices until August, said it was facing strong competition from more than 50 suppliers.
Some energy providers have blamed rising wholesale costs for the increases.
The health board still has to find savings of £8.2m before the end of March to break even this financial year.
More than £10m of the projected deficit was due to costs incurred at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
However, in October NHS Highland had managed to bring this figure down to £6m.
The health board has been criticised for its financial situation in recent months.
Scotland's financial watchdog highlighted concerns about the accounts of NHS Highland in a report laid out in the Scottish Parliament in October.
Audit Scotland stated that weaknesses in financial management were a factor in the health board requiring a £2.5m loan from the Scottish government to break even last financial year.
The country's central bank said the problems faced by PrivatBank were mainly caused by its "imprudent lending policy" which led to capital losses.
Ukraine's president Petro Poroshenko has reassured PrivatBank depositors that their money is safe.
The bank is operating normally.
The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) declared PrivatBank insolvent on Sunday. The government subsequently backed the nationalisation.
PrivatBank is part-owned by the powerful billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, who also has big stakes in the media and energy industries and has frequently come into conflict with President Poroshenko.
Central bank governor Valeria Gontareva said they were confident the decision to transfer PrivatBank to state ownership was "the only possible way to protect deposits placed with this bank and rescue the financial system".
The 20 million Ukrainians who use the bank include 3.2 million pensioners, more than 500,000 students and 1.6 million socially vulnerable households.
The nationalisation also enables small businesses to continue trading and means 3.2 million public and private sector employees will continue to be paid.
The NBU launched a study of the banking sector more than two years ago.
The stress test on PrivatBank revealed that the bank had capital shortages, which, the central bank said "apart form the crisis-related factors, were caused by imprudent lending policy pursued by the bank".
The NBU said at the beginning of this month that the bank had a capital shortfall of about $5.65bn (£4.5bn) and about 97% of its corporate loans had gone to companies linked to its shareholders.
"Being aware of all the problems faced by PrivatBank and risks posed to the health of the financial sector and the economy as a whole we could not wait any longer," said Ms Gontareva.
Commenting on the decision to nationalise PrivatBank, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, said it was an "important step in [Ukraine's] efforts to safeguard financial stability".
"Ensuring that all banks operating in Ukraine meet capital and regulatory requirements is essential to maintain public confidence in the banking system and reinforce the banks' ability to support productive activities necessary for the prosperity of the Ukrainian people," she added.
It said the riff Led Zeppelin was accused of taking from Spirit's 1967 song Taurus "was not intrinsically similar" to Stairway's opening.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant said they were grateful to "put to rest questions about [its] origins... confirming what we have known for 45 years".
The case was brought on behalf of Spirit's late guitarist, Randy Wolfe.
During the trial, defence lawyers argued the chord progression in question was very common and had been in use for more than 300 years.
The plaintiff's lawyers had argued Led Zeppelin became familiar with Spirit's song after the two bands played on the same bill at a club in Plant's hometown in Birmingham in 1970, a year before Stairway to Heaven was released in 1971.
Spirit's bassist Mark Andes testified last week he met Plant at the show and played snooker with him afterward.
Plant insisted he had no memory of that night, saying that in all the "hubbub and chaos" it would be hard to remember a one-off meeting 40 years ago.
Plant partially attributed his lack of memory to a bad car crash on his way home from the club. Both he and his wife suffered head injuries in the accident, he told the court, after the windscreen of his Jaguar was left "buried" in his face.
However the jury rejected the defence Page and Plant would not have been familiar with Taurus, saying they had "access" to it.
The singer-songwriter also spoke at length about the creation of Stairway to Heaven.
He reiterated the assertions made by his band mates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones that the song had begun at the country estate Headley Grange and not the Welsh cottage Bron-Yr-Aur, contradicting decades of Led Zeppelin mythology.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said applications were now open for funded teacher education training places.
It has been warned some schools in Aberdeen may close because of a "crisis" in recruiting teachers.
The Transition Training Fund (TTF) was set up to help oil and gas workers made redundant, or at risk of redundancy.
Jobs lost as a result of the downturn in the UK oil and gas sector could top 120,000 by the end of this year, according to a report on Friday.
The scheme will allow "suitably qualified" oil and gas workers to be employed by Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire councils while they do their initial training. The TTF courses start in September
Mr Swinney said: "The north east has a highly-skilled oil and gas workforce and we want to utilise these skills and offer those affected by job losses with a positive career path.
"By becoming a teacher, they can use their knowledge and expertise to inspire the next generation of young people in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.
"We know that in some parts of the country, particularly the north east, schools are facing challenges recruiting teachers in certain subjects.
"That is exactly why we have made money available from the TTF to fund an innovative teacher training proposal.
"It will result in guaranteed employment for four years for up 20 people in the two local authorities."
Aberdeen is not the only part of Scotland to warn of difficulties recruiting teachers.
Other parts of the north east, Highlands and Islands and rural areas, including Dumfries and Galloway, have found difficulty filling posts.
The problems and issues are not simple and straightforward.
Nationally, there is an agreed number of places available in teacher training. The funding deal between councils and the Scottish government commits councils to maintaining teacher numbers.
In general, the problem is not so much the number of people who are qualified to teach across Scotland as the number of people who may want to work in some parts of the country.
Read more on this here.
Mr Swinney added: "We have been working closely with the University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council to ensure those interested can start as quickly as possible.
"I am delighted that people applying now will be able to start their training in the autumn."
Industry body Oil and Gas UK has estimated 84,000 jobs linked to the industry went in 2015, with 40,000 losses expected this year.
Aberdeen City Council has said there are 134 empty teaching posts in the city.
The council said consideration would have to be given to shutting the worst-affected schools after the summer unless the situation improves.
A leaked document says call handlers told patients ambulances had been dispatched, with no idea they were not.
It said it is impossible to conclude that patients were not harmed and has examined seven "serious incidents".
The South East Coast Ambulance trust said it has "not found the process impacted negatively on patients".
The ambulance service's council of governors met the trust's chairman, chief executive and non-executive directors on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
It was given further information on the grounds for concerns and the process that will follow.
Brian Rockell, South East Coast Ambulance's (Secamb) lead governor, said: "I am confident that the process outlined will allow the council to fulfil its statutory duties and be assured that a quality service is provided to our patients."
NHS England has confirmed plans to publish the leaked report on Thursday.
A Secamb spokesperson reiterated its previous statement that "the purpose of the process was to protect patient safety by ensuring that our most seriously-ill patients received the care they needed as quickly as possible".
It added: "There has been some suggestion that this resulted in less serious patients being harmed. We would like to make it clear that our investigations to date have found no evidence to support this suggestion.
The draft report examines a pilot project at Seacamb which was launched in secret by a clique of senior managers.
It was set up without the knowledge of 111 staff, board non-executives, the medical director or local commissioners of services. Secamb covers Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Brighton and North East Hampshire.
In the project, the trust decided to transfer certain 111 calls to the 999 system, thus gaining up to 10 additional minutes to assess patients' conditions.
In one case - known to be the death of a 60-year-old Horsham man who had suffered a cardiac arrest - there was a "missed opportunity" to improve his outcome, the report said.
It found: "We cannot conclude that patients were not harmed by the R3/G5 project, as all the facts are not known for the calls that went unanswered or for the callers who had significant delay by the re-triage process."
The report said the trust's efforts to check whether harm was done to patients were neither "appropriate" nor safe.
Patients Association Chief Executive Katherine Murphy said: "The reports today are truly shocking. There has been a complete disregard for patient safety through a policy that has put thousands of patients at risk."
Health regulator Monitor said the trust had not fully considered patient safety.
It has added a condition to Secamb's licence so that if insufficient progress is made, the leadership team could be changed.
Seacamb Chief Executive Paul Sutton has defended the project but also admitted: "These are serious findings."
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) spotted the powerful TOS-1 Buratino multiple rocket launcher in Luhansk.
Meanwhile, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France discussed peace efforts in Ukraine, with Paris and Kiev saying the pullout of light weapons would start on Saturday.
Moscow denies arming the rebels.
It also rejects accusations by Ukraine and the West that it is sending heavy weapons to the pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
However, the Kremlin admits that Russian "volunteers" are fighting alongside the rebels.
The OSCE, which is monitoring the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, said in a statement that it found the Buratino on a military training ground run by the so-called People's Republic of Luhansk in the village of Kruhlyk.
The rockets have two types of warhead - either incendiary, which can spread flames over tens of kilometres, or thermobaric, which sucks up oxygen to boost the explosion.
A spokesman for the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine told the BBC the discovery was particularly significant because of the damage the rockets could cause.
"This is a very destructive weapon which is fired indiscriminately," he said.
Russian-made Grad rockets have been used by both sides in the conflict, but the Buratino is a more powerful system.

Ukraine crisis: Russia tests new weapons
Ukraine 'can't stop Russian armour'
Ukraine's military previously said the Buratino - nicknamed "scorched earth" in Russia - had been used against government troops in rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
But the OSCE told the BBC the sighting on 25 September was the first it had on record.
Only Russia produces the system, according to defence analysis group IHS Jane's and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Russian troops used it in Afghanistan in the 1980s against the Mujahideen and in Chechnya against separatist rebels in 1999-2000.
Russia has sold a more advanced version - Solntsepyok ("heat of the sun") - to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Iraq.
However, experts say the Buratino was not exported to Ukraine before the conflict in the east of the country broke out last year.
In Paris, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday for the first time since they agreed a peace deal for Ukraine in Minsk in February.
The so-called Normandy Four meeting assessed all elements of the deal, including the staging of local elections in the rebel-held regions and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line of contact.
Mr Hollande said the pullout would start on Friday, with Mr Poroshenko later confirming this.
The government in Kiev and the pro-Russian rebels earlier finally agreed to withdraw weapons of less than 100mm calibre from the front line.
Mr Poroshenko said this process would then continue in stages and should be completed within 41 days.
The French leader also said the elections in the rebel areas must be held according to Ukrainian law, as envisaged in the Minsk peace deal.
This point was reiterated by Mrs Merkel, who also noticed "progress" during the talks.
Mr Poroshenko said that the four leaders had supported the idea of the elections based exclusively on Ukrainian legislation and in the presence of OSCE observers, who should be granted full access.
However, the rebels said before the Paris meeting that they still intended to proceed with staging local elections on their terms.
Kiev says such elections - to be held on different dates from the rest of Ukraine and not according to Ukrainian law - would be "fake".
President Putin's office did not provide details of the Paris talks, saying only in a brief statement that the participants "synchronised watches" on the implementation of the key points of the Minsk deal.
Alan Forsyth's double means the Scots will face Austria after finishing third in a pool topped by Ireland.
"It was an ugly win," Derek Forsyth told Scottish Hockey.
"It's a game we'll learn from, but we'll need to raise our standards up to where they were in our previous games if we want to progress."
Wales face Italy, Ireland play Poland, while France take on Ukraine in Thursday's quarter-finals.
France topped their pool by beating Wales 1-0, while Ireland finished top of the other pool after Matthew Nelson's goal secured a 1-0 win over Italy.
Ireland started their campaign off with a 9-2 hammering of Ukraine following by a shoot-out win over Austria after a 1-1 draw.
The Scots had lost 3-1 to France and also suffered a penalty shoot-out defeat after a 2-2 draw with Wales before beating the Poles.
They now face an Austrian side who beat Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw, lost that shootout with Ireland then beat Ukraine 4-2 in their pool.
"In the end, we won the match without playing as well as we know we can, so that's pleasing," said Forsyth ahead of Thursday's quarter-final.
"But we'll look to improve on this performance."
Alan Forsyth opened the scoring for the Scots against the Poles after only two minutes.
The Poles, who had lost 3-1 to both Wales and France, were denied by good saves from David Forrester before Dominic Kotulski equalised after half-time.
As the Poles pressed for a winner, Forsyth secured a victory with a solo goal.

She will be joined by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at the ceremony on the Queensferry Crossing on 4 September.
The £1.35bn bridge will open to traffic on 30 August, but it will close on 2 and 3 September to allow pedestrians to cross.
The opening ceremony will take place exactly 53 years after the Queen opened the Forth Road Bridge.
The new crossing will replace the existing road bridge as the main route between Edinburgh and Fife.
On the day of the Queen's visit activities will take place on both sides of the 1.7 mile bridge.
They will include a welcome address by the first minister and a blessing by the moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Scotland's Makar, Jackie Kay, will read a poem specially commissioned for the occasion and there will be live music performances.
Ms Sturgeon said: "It is very fitting that the Queensferry Crossing will be officially opened by The Queen, exactly 53 years to the day from when she opened the Forth Road Bridge.
"Importantly, this celebratory event will recognise the thousands of people who have been involved in the construction of the new bridge.
"The Queensferry Crossing is a symbol of a confident, forward-looking Scotland and - as well as providing a vital transport connection for many years to come - it is a truly iconic structure and a feat of modern engineering."
Source: Scottish government
The new bridge will be closed to traffic on 2 and 3 September to allow 50,000 members of the public walk across the bridge as part of the Queensferry Crossing Experience.
Around 250,000 applied for a ballot to take part in the one-off event.
A "community day" on 5 September will give another 10,000 people from local schools and community groups an opportunity to walk across the bridge before it re-opens to traffic, with no pedestrian access, on 6 September.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said "Scotland will celebrate a moment in history" when the Queen opens the bridge.
"At this unique moment, the country will become the world's first destination to have three bridges spanning three centuries in one stunning location," he said.
"It is a time to not only celebrate Scotland as a nation of pioneering innovation, design and engineering, but also give thanks all those who have worked tirelessly to create this unique new structure.
"People are fascinated worldwide by bridges, whether it's for their beauty, grandeur or breath-taking engineering prowess. The addition of the Queensferry Crossing consolidates the Forth Bridges as global icons of Scotland and we look forward to showcasing all three awe-inspiring structures to the world for many years to come." | Hatton Garden Safe Deposit, which had up to £200m of jewellery stolen in April, has gone into liquidation.

Among the board directors and estate agents who appear to have benefited from shell companies established by Mossack Fonseca are members of the German nobility, recipients of the German honours system and a number of brothel owners.
The story may have cracked open a network of global corruption. But it is a big story for Germany too, not least because the data was initially obtained by one of the country's leading newspapers and because Mossack Fonseca was co-founded by Germany-born Juergen Mossack.
Panama Papers reaction - latest
Q&A on Panama Papers
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Germans are named in the Panama Papers. So are the country's banks. Sueddeutsche Zeitung says "there is hardly a well known financial institution that doesn't appear".
And it is possible the revelations will shed light on one of the country's enduring corruption scandals.
Sueddeutsche journalists believe several former managers from manufacturing giant Siemens who were prosecuted for bribery a decade ago may have held on to some of their slush fund cash. The papers reveal that €3m ($3.4m; £2.4m) may have ended up in private accounts in the Bahamas and Switzerland.
Siemens has said it will investigate the matter and give a statement if new details come to light.
In a country where, as tax expert Stefan Bach says, "middle class people have a relatively high tax burden and working people have to pay their taxes", it is perhaps unsurprising that many are disgusted, if unsurprised, by the revelations.
"We cannot allow that one part of society works hard, sticks to the rules and pays taxes while another part of society cheats," Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel told one publication.
The German government wants a worldwide ban on offshore companies whose owners remain anonymous.
At a press conference on Tuesday, German Justice Minister Heiko Mass spoke about a planned new national transparency register that would oblige offshore companies to disclose the identity of their owners.
The new law has been planned for some time. The publication of the Panama Papers, Mr Maas said, proved how necessary such a move was.
But, when pressed, he admitted that Germany was in reality powerless to outlaw the creation of anonymous offshore companies. The government would, he said, urge further international cooperation and data sharing.
Plenty has changed since Russia last held elections to parliament. The oil price has plummeted and the economy has shrunk, Crimea has been annexed from Ukraine and Vladimir Putin has returned to the presidency.
It has also become far harder for his critics to stage a protest.
Putin mask dissident seeks Ukraine asylum
Spain hunts 'mafia-linked' Russians
Putin's inner circle
The turning point came after Russia's last elections.
It was 6 May 2012, and the latest in a wave of mass protests sparked by evidence of fraud at the vote.
The rallies had been peaceful for months.
But that day, protesters arriving at Bolotnaya Square were met by rows of riot police.
There was chaos, a crush and then clashes.
Prosecutors classed what happened as a riot and blamed the protesters, but Anna Gaskarova remembers things differently.
The young journalist says her husband had been trying to stop police officers arresting an elderly man when the officers turned on him.
A series of photographs show Alexei Gaskarov with a bloodied face. In one image, she is seen diving into the fray to try to help him.
Mr Gaskarov was arrested almost a year later, after investigators scrolled through video footage.
A well-known left-wing activist, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for rioting and assault, charges he denies.
To date, 18 protesters have been imprisoned.
"The Bolotnaya case was a good situation to arrest people from different political camps," Anna Gaskarova says, at her parents' home outside Moscow.
The investigation remains open, and two more men have been arrested since December.
"Everyone now is afraid. They understand… you can be a man or a woman, 20 or 45 years old, you can be of different political views, but you can all go to jail if you go to a demonstration," she says.
Russian officials deny the Bolotnaya case was a crackdown on dissent.
But in the wake of the clashes, Mr Putin approved draconian new laws against protests.
Now, even a silent picket is banned if more than one person takes part.
The fines for breaking the new rules have also soared, and anyone violating those rules repeatedly, faces up to five years behind bars.
Activists say they are increasingly refused official permission to demonstrate.
So when a small crowd gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of the clashes on Bolotnaya Square, they did not bother to apply.
As a result, they were joined by busloads of riot police.
The protesters milled quietly at first at the foot of a statue.
A man sang about the collapse of Communism, strumming on his guitar, as police officers in urban camouflage looked on.
"If I would be in authority, I wouldn't be afraid at all," veteran activist Serge Sharov-Delaunay shrugged, surveying the scene.
"I would let this meeting [happen]. I can't understand."
Then, on the edge of the crowd, a young woman produced a handwritten sign and held it up in silence.
Within a minute, police officers had surrounded her.
"Respected citizens, your actions have not been authorised," an officer told the crowd through a megaphone. "Please disperse immediately!"
In response, a protester began quoting Russia's constitution from his mobile phone - Article 31, which guarantees citizens the right to peaceful assembly.
Behind him, police officers were dragging protesters off by their armpits.
Alexei Polikhovich went to the rally that day but left before the arrests started.
He was released from prison last year after serving three years for rioting at the Bolotnaya protest.
He has always denied the charge and the very suggestion there was any riot.
Alexei says he has been cautious since his release, but he has not given up on politics.
"You start to follow these things, the political trials, the issue of political prisoners," he says, adding that what he had discovered had shocked him.
"The charges against us were unfair.
"But at least we were on Bolotnaya Square.
"Now, there is a new case, and he wasn't even there.
"That makes me angry," he says, referring to an anarchist professor arrested last December.
Like most of the Bolotnaya prisoners, A struggled to find work on his release.
But he recently joined the team at OVD-info, a group that describes itself as "monitoring political persecution".
"The idea is simple: that information protects," he says, at his new desk, inside the offices of the human rights group Memorial.
The data collected by OVD-info shows a marked increase in prosecutions it defines as political.
The group also notes a rise in prosecutions for political posts on social media.
Such changes concern Anna Gaskarova as she prepares for her husband's release in October.
"I'm not sure Alexei really understands what country he is going to live in," she says, as she puts together a food parcel for another prison visit.
"He can easily make some problems again, if he [does] things that are not allowed now. And it's a really big list of things."
Anna Gaskarova believes the tough new restrictions have scared many Russians off protesting and sent them into what she calls a "political coma".
But it was Alexei's political activism that attracted her to him in the first place.
"I am not sure that we will be just sitting at home when there will be any demonstrations," she says, as she stuffs cartons full of plump pancakes and cabbage rolls.
"We are not afraid, but we will of course try to understand what risk do we have not to get in jail again."
Jorvik Viking Centre, in York, closed on 27 December, after parts of the attraction were submerged beneath up to 3ft (1m) of water from the flooded River Foss.
A campaign to raise £1.5m towards the cost of rebuilding the museum has so far raised about £500,000.
The centre is expected to reopen in Spring 2017.
The museum, which is owned by the York Archaeological Trust, opened in 1984.
The city's Norse history was revealed in the 1970s when an archaeological dig at Coppergate found Viking streets buried below the modern pavement.
Ithaca said it had secured the equity from DKL Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of energy firm Delek Group.
The investment was made via a private placement of common shares.
The move gives Delek a 19.9% stake in AIM-listed Ithaca.
Aberdeen-based Ithaca is the operator of the Greater Stella Area development in the central North Sea. It includes the Stella and Harrier fields, which are currently in the process of being developed, as well as the Hurricane discovery and the "Twister" prospect.
First production from the Stella field is expected at the end of the second quarter next year.
The investment from Delek will be used to pursue "satellite" opportunities in the area, as well as strengthen Ithaca's balance sheet and cut its bank debt.
Ithaca chief executive Les Thomas said: "The investment provides a solid vote of confidence in the long term value of Ithaca by a successful oil and gas investor and provides additional flexibility to execute the financial and strategic priorities of the business."
The E! network says the show will come back in September 2015.
In February, Kelly Osbourne quit following a falling out with a co-presenter. Her replacement, Kathy Griffin, then left after just seven episodes.
E! said: "We look forward to taking this opportunity to refresh the show before the next awards season."
The show offers humorous, often cutting, critiques of what celebrities have been seen wearing.
It was originally hosted by the late comedian Joan Rivers and is executively produced by her daughter Melissa Rivers.
In February, Osbourne left the show after complaining about her co-host Giuliana Rancic's criticism of Zendaya. Rancic had suggested the actor's dreadlocks smelled of marijuana.
Rancic was forced to apologise after Zendaya said the remarks were "outrageously offensive".
After Osbourne left, comedian Kathy Griffin came on board.
But she left after just seven episodes saying she was uneasy being part of the show.
Speaking to US show The View, she said she felt forced to "comment about pictures of beautiful women in perfect dresses and say kind of bad things".
Despite E! saying the new season of the show would go ahead at the end of March - without Osborne or Griffin - it has now been shelved until September 2015.
E! says the show would "evolve" - but that co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski and executive producer Melissa Rivers will be back.

The report said
the situation of the Roma is on average worse than their non-Roma neighbours when it comes to jobs, education, housing and health.
The survey interviewed 22,203 Roma and their non-Roma neighbours.
Those surveyed resided in 11 EU countries with large Roma populations.
Ioannis Dimitrakopoulos, from the EU Agency on Fundamental Rights (FRA), which co-authored the report, says that Roma in countries like France, Italy and Spain share a common characteristic with Roma communities in Hungary, Romania and Slovakia - in that they were worse off than the majority non-Roma.
"That is precisely what we find most shocking. We would have expected to find significant differences, but from the responses of the Roma people themselves and their neighbours, we see few differences.
"One would have expected to see that their situation is far better in countries that have better conditions of life for their general population."
The report, which interviewed subjects in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Spain, was co-authored by the UN Development Programme.
Among its findings were:
The report said "swift, effective action" particularly in the field of education was needed to improve the situation.
FRA director Morten Kjaerum said education would "equip young Roma with the skills they need to escape the vicious cycle of discrimination, exclusion and poverty".
"The renewed Roma integration, however, will only bring sustainable results if [governments] engage with the local communities, Roma and non-Roma, building trust, developing social cohesion, and combating prejudice and discrimination," he said.
The findings are intended to be used to inform European policymakers on Roma.
FRA estimates that there are 10-12 million Roma in Europe.
The Senate is considering controversial changes to voting laws that will disadvantage so-called "micro parties".
The ruling Coalition, the Greens and independent senator Nick Xenophon support the changes.
But the opposition Labor party and micro party senators oppose them.
The debate, which is continuing this morning, is at this stage the ninth-longest in the history of the Senate.
Australia's complex system of voter preference distribution presently allows micro parties to secure Senate seats, even if they receive a very small percentage of the primary vote.
At the last election a clutch of micro party and independent senators, including Ricky Muir of the Motoring Enthusiasts Party and former rugby league footballer Glenn Lazarus, won seats in the senate.
These senators have frustrated the government by blocking legislation. Their presence in the Senate also affects the Greens, depriving them of the balance-of-power position they have often held in the upper house.
During the all-night debate, Labor senators consistently spoke off-topic to delay votes to nine amendments to legislation that would give voters greater control over where their preferences were allocated.
The marathon session produced some unusual behaviour among the senators.
Independent senator Nick Xenophon, who supports the reforms, showed up to one vote wearing pyjamas covered with pictures of monkeys and bananas. He was asked to change.
Labor senator Doug Cameron began quoting Monty Python during one exchange: "You empty-headed animal food trough wiper … I fart in your general direction."
And Glenn Sterle, also from Labor, compared the marathon debate to a colonoscopy.
Labor has vowed to fight the voting amendments, saying they will allow the government to more easily gain the balance of power in the Senate.
But the government says the move will give voters more power and prevent backroom deals.
"The only people who get advantaged by this reform are voters," Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said.
It is thought the 56-year-old will be named as the replacement for Rowan Williams, who steps down in December after 10 years in the post.
Bishop Welby became a bishop only a year ago when he took up the Church of England's fourth most senior post.
Downing Street sources have confirmed the next archbishop will be formally announced on Friday morning.
On Tuesday, leading bookmakers stopped taking bets on the succession after a run of bets on Bishop Welby.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Bishop Welby has agreed to accept the post. Bishop Welby said he was unable to comment on the speculation.
Bishop Welby was educated at Eton and Cambridge University, and then spent 11 years in the oil industry before studying theology at Durham. He was ordained in 1992.
He became Rector of Southam in 1995 and was later appointed canon residentiary of Coventry Cathedral. He left the area in 2007 when he was appointed Dean of Liverpool.
He took up the post of Bishop of Durham in November 2011 and worked as Rowan Williams' special envoy to Africa, attempting to build unity between Christian and Muslim communities in Nigeria.

Justin Welby will bring some unusual qualities to his new role. An old Etonian, he has significant experience in the oil industry and in managing complex processes and organisations.
He said he was called to become a priest following the death of his young daughter in a car crash.
Critics have said that the fact he's only been a bishop for a year may leave him vulnerable when dealing with the Church's various factions.
But he is skilled at conflict resolution, even at one point risking his own life when dealing with warring factions in Nigeria.
He's particularly concerned about the plight of the poor and the moral obligations of the City - so the government can expect him to be just as outspoken as Rowan Williams.
Bishop Welby is regarded by observers as being on the evangelical wing of the Church, closely adhering to traditional interpretations of the Bible with a strong emphasis on making the Church outward-looking.
Even within the evangelical community, however, there are significant differences of outlook on questions of doctrine.
The Rev Dr Giles Fraser - former Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral and the current parish priest at St Mary's in Newington, south London, said Bishop Welby was "the right man for the job".
He added: "I'm quite surprised that the church has had the courage to pick someone who's only been a bishop a short amount of time, but I am absolutely delighted that they have.
"He and I would disagree on a number of theological issues... He's very conservative on gay marriage and those sort of things, but very strongly in favour of women bishops which is good.
"Even though he comes from a very different part of the church from me - and this has got to be a sign of hope - I think it's a terrific appointment."
Dr Fraser went on to say that Bishop Welby's experience in Africa could help him "heal the divisions" within the church both at home and overseas.
His potential appointment has also been welcomed by Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the worldwide Anglican Communion and the current Bishop of New Hampshire in the United States.
Bishop Robinson told the BBC that he had met Bishop Welby earlier this year and found him to be an "immensely likeable and sensible man".
He added that Bishop Welby's appointment would show the Church of England was "thinking outside the box, which is exactly what is needed, and it would be a breath of fresh air for the Anglican Communion".
Christina Rees, who sits on the Church of England's governing body, the General Synod, said Bishop Welby, if he was chosen, would be a "visionary and strategic leader".
She told BBC News: "He's known to be wise, collaborative, a man prepared to take risks, someone extremely astute.
"He's worked in industry and commerce, in the oil business for many years. He's also known to be personally very warm and a man of prayer, deeply spiritual."
She added that she believed his business background means he is "well-equipped" to take the church "into the future".
Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Dr Williams said that his successor would need to be someone who "likes reading the Bible and likes reading newspapers".
It is believed the incumbent archbishop was referencing a quote from Karl Barth, a 20th Century theologian who said: "You have to preach with a Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other."
The Crown Nominations Commission, which nominates two candidates to the prime minister, who then advises the Queen on the appointment, held a three-day meeting in September to consider the contenders to be the next archbishop, but no announcement followed.
Dr Williams' successor will become the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, and the nominal leader of 77 million Anglicans worldwide - though conservative Anglican provinces, especially in Africa, have been setting up alternative organisational structures of their own.
About 3,000 holidaymakers were inside the leisure complex on Douglas promenade when fire swept through the building on 2 August 1973.
The disaster led to changes in fire regulations in the Isle of Man, the UK and around the world.
Mayor of Douglas Sara Hackman will lay a wreath during the service at the Summerland memorial at 10:00 BST.
A permanent memorial inscribed with the names of all the victims was unveiled in 2013 on the 40th anniversary of the fire.
A one-minute silence will also be observed during a separate ceremony at 19:30 opposite the Summerland site.
Organiser Tina Brennen said: "The perception is that we have forgotten or don't care and I know that is not the case.
"There are thousands of people on this island who remember vividly the fire but the perception is that we have forgotten it because there has been no annual commemorations.
"There are headlines in the UK press about 'an island's forgotten tragedy', an 'island's forgotten shame', and it is none of those things, and I feel that very strongly."
The body of Arnis Zalkalns, 41, was discovered in Boston Park, west London, on 4 October, four days after the teenager's body was found.
The coroner said a post-mortem examination found the cause of death was "consistent with hanging".
The inquest at West London Coroner's Court was opened and adjourned until December.
Convicted killer Zalkalns' decomposed body was identified by his dental records, the court heard.
Coroner's officer Lana Atkinson told the court: "Mr Zalkalns was found on 4 October and his body was found suspended by his neck in dense woodland in Boston Manor Park adjacent to the canal.
"A post-mortem conducted on October 6 found a conditional cause of death is consistent with hanging. There is no evidence of third party involvement."
The coroner's officer added police were still investigating the case.
Zalkalns had served seven years in prison in his native country for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death before moving to the UK in 2007.
CCTV captured Zalkalns cycling behind Alice on a tow path on the day she disappeared.
Alice, from Hanwell, in west London, disappeared on 28 August.
Her body was found wrapped and weighted down in a shallow stretch of the River Brent on 30 September.
Alice's inquest was opened and adjourned on 10 October.
Santos Lopez Alonzo, 64, arrived on a flight in Guatemala City handcuffed and flanked by security guards.
Prosecutors say he served in an elite army unit that massacred more than 160 villagers. He denies the charges.
Two other members of the unit are serving sentences in US prisons for immigration crimes.
Another was deported to Guatemala and is serving a 6,000-year sentence.
Speaking last week at a California immigration detention centre, Mr Lopez said he had guarded women and children during the massacre but had not taken part and had killed no one.
In an interview with the Associated Press, he said he feared he would be tortured in Guatemala in revenge for helping the US government prosecute one of his former comrades.
Mr Lopez, who was arrested in the US in 2010, had fought deportation but a federal appeals court last month refused to block his return.
After he arrived in Guatemala City on board a charter flight on Wednesday, lawyers for victims' families said they hoped he would be held accountable.
"We are very happy they deported him and that he must now face Guatemalan justice, above all, for the victims," said Francisco Vivar, an advocate for victims.
The massacre took place during Guatemala's 36-year-long civil war, which was ended in 1996 by a UN-sponsored peace agreement.
In December 1982, a squad of elite soldiers was sent to search for missing weapons in the village of Las Dos Erres. Instead they rounded up villagers and bludgeoned them to death before throwing their bodies into a well.
Mr Lopez insists he was assigned to stand guard while others carried out the killings.
An estimated 250,000 civilians were killed or disappeared in the bloody civil war.
A UN truth commission in 1999 established that the army and state security agents were responsible for more than 90% of the deaths.
Harrold, part of the British team that came fifth in the women's all-around final in Rio, will compete for a US college team instead.
She also secured team all-around gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, as well as silver in the individual all-around and bronze on the bars.
"I've grown more as a person than I ever thought I would," Harrold tweeted.
"Special thank you to all the girls in the GB squad," said Harrold, who first started competing for GB in 2010. "You've helped make the tough times manageable and the great times unforgettable."
The league has been suspended since 2014 season because of the security troubles in the country.
LFF chairman Anwar Al-Tishani said: "We had meetings with the heads of the clubs, official authorities, security officials, and the conditions look suitable to start the 2015-16 League."
On Thursday in Tripoli, the LFF conducted the draw for the season.
Twenty-one teams have been divided into two groups.
Group One includes nine clubs from the east, two of which will qualify for the final round. Group 2 will have 12 clubs from the west, south, and central regions, three of which will qualify for the final round.
The most recent league champions were Al Ahli from Tripoli, who the title for the 11th time in its history.
More than £41bn of infrastructure spending is planned in the North West over the next five years, compared to £15bn in Yorkshire and the North East.
Council leaders want the Autumn Statement to tackle the imbalance.
The Treasury said the figures are "not a fair reflection of the investment".
A spokesman said 550 infrastructure projects have been created in the North since 2010.
Analysis by BBC News has found that there is a disparity in the amount of money planned to be spent on infrastructure projects across the North.
Spending on infrastructure includes improving roads, railways and access to the internet and is seen as a way to boost the economy.
Some of the projects identified include spending £375m on the A1 in Yorkshire and £600m on building a new bridge over the River Mersey.
Per person spending in the North West is earmarked to be three times higher than in Yorkshire and The Humber and twice as high as in the North East of England.
"I don't think the Northern Powerhouse is working for everybody which is why people feel left behind," said Bradford Council leader Susan Hinchliffe.
"I applaud the idea of a powerhouse but what we need is help to ensure Yorkshire and the North East can catch up so everyone can achieve their potential."
The technology and betting company Sky Bet employs more than 1,000 people in Leeds making them one of the city's biggest employers.
Richard Flint said poor transport links are having a direct impact on his business and the wider economy.
He said: "When we surveyed potential employees we found 64% would consider moving to London for a job but only 34% would move to Leeds. The main reason why they wouldn't move to Leeds was the poor transport links and therefore the long commute.
"The reality is that people don't want to travel between Manchester and Leeds for work. So for us as a growing company we want to see transport across the North improved so we can attract and retain the best talent."
The Northern Powerhouse was a concept created by former chancellor George Osborne in 2014 as an attempt to "rebalance" the UK's economy away from being dominated by London and the South East.
"We do in the North East feel at times the government naturally focuses on Manchester and Liverpool so we do have to elbow our way into contention," said Dave Budd, the elected mayor of Middlesbrough.
"I hope the government's Autumn Statement reaffirms the idea of the Northern Powerhouse and that ministers realise that devolution for us is not just a paper exercise."
The regional figures on infrastructure spending are compiled from the government's National Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
The BBC's analysis has looked at projects specifically identified for each region and has excluded national projects such as HS2 rail as its potential benefits cannot be attributed to any one part of the country.
A Treasury spokesperson said: "These findings are completely misleading and are not a fair reflection of the level of investment we are making on roads, transport, and housing.
"In reality, over half of the projects in our pipeline are long-term and benefit more than one region, such as HS2 which is our bold vision for connecting up the great cities of the North."
Loye, who made seven one-day international appearances for England, enjoyed a 20 year first-class career for Northants and Lancashire.
The 42-year-old begins work in Bangladesh next month.
Loye told BBC Radio Northampton the job would be tough, but he had taken it on to evolve as a person and a coach.
"Life out there has its challenges, but that's part of the reason I wanted to go, and the biggest challenge will actually be leaving my young family for a couple of months at a time," he admitted.
"But it's something I need to do for my career, and I'm really excited about working with international players again."
Loye scored over 15,000 first-class runs for Northamptonshire and Lancashire, almost 9,000 List A runs, and 1,246 runs in T20 matches. He retired in 2011, though has continued to play for Buckinghamshire.
He continued: "It's the next generation of players they're hoping to produce for that country, there'll be one or two players on the fringe of the full Bangladesh team, I guess it's like an "A" team in England terms, and a few under-19s as well."
Loye has been working as a coach at Wellingborough and Oundle schools, as well as providing expert commentary on his former county side for BBC Radio Northampton. He will work under Bangladesh national academy director of coaching Paul Terry.
"Paul is someone I played against and who I know pretty well," said Loye.
"I played around the world for 20 years, at first class and international level, I recently completed my level four coaching as well, and hopefully I'll be able to use that experience and knowledge to help transform promising players into international players."
The court heard evidence gathered from a range of services as part of the prosecution case.
Hundreds of messages from social media, messaging and chat apps - respectively Facebook, Whatsapp and Snapchat - formed crucial parts of the evidence presented to the jury.
They demonstrated how Johnson groomed his victim before the offences, and how he continued to do so afterwards.
Adam Johnson sentencing: Live updates from court
These are some of the key messages from the case - we have re-created them based on what was heard in court.
On New Year's Eve 2014, Johnson responded to a Facebook friend request from the victim, who had "one enormous crush on him" and who "idolised him", according to the prosecution.
He recognised her from her profile picture. He accepted the friend request and messaged her to ask for her mobile phone number.
The court heard that "she was sceptical that it really was Adam Johnson" so to prove his identity to the victim, he posted a "Happy New Year" message on his Twitter account.
He gave her his mobile phone number and encouraged her to use the messaging service Whatsapp.
The FA's Player Essentials says: "Do not give out your contact details on social networking sites."
Whatsapp has more than 1 billion users. It offers a service similar to text messaging but is free to use.
Prosecuting the case, Kate Blackwell QC told the court: "What's clear through the WhatsApp messages is he guided her in a classic case of grooming. Grooming in its purest form."
The court heard that within an hour, Johnson was aware that the victim was only 15 years old.
A total of 834 Whatsapp messages were presented as part of the evidence against Johnson.
By 4 January 2015, a plan had been made to meet, but the victim was unable to do so on 5 January.
Johnson met the victim on 17 January 2015, in a car park behind a Chinese takeaway in County Durham. Johnson gave her a signed Sunderland shirt, as he had promised in earlier messages. He also signed her own Sunderland shirt.
The encounter lasted 15 minutes.
After dropping the victim off, Johnson continued to message her, making sexual advances.
They arranged to meet again on 30 January with Johnson having pursued her with a series of messages in which he made clear that he was looking for a kiss "and more" as a thank you for the signed shirts.
They met in the same location as on 17 January. The victim used Snapchat to record part of their initial conversation, to send to her friends as proof she was in the car with him.
Johnson was convicted of a sexual offence that took place during this meeting. The jury cleared him of a second charge.
After dropping her off, Johnson messaged her to say: "It was class," adding: "Just wanted to get your jeans off, LOL."
The girl replied: "Next time."
Records recovered from Johnson's mobile phone show he searched for "legal age of consent" days after this encounter.
The trial heard that by the beginning of February they were communicating via the Snapchat app. Johnson created a second account in an attempt to hide his activity from his partner, but by 20 February had forgotten his new username.
The Snapchat platform allows users to send messages to each other which are deleted shortly after being viewed by the recipient. As a result, prosecutors admitted that the police retrieved "very few Snapchat messages between the two" in their investigation.
However, an image captured from the victim's handset - showing her in a white bikini - was given in evidence, with one from the defendant in which he encourages her to "send one with the bikini off".
A third meeting was arranged through Snapchat - the victim was at school when he messaged her - but cancelled at the last minute.
By this time, rumours had started to circulate among the victim's friendship group. She discovered a "Facebook groupchat" conversation among school friends who had found out.
As more people were added to the conversation, messages she had sent to someone describing the encounter with Johnson were posted.
The court heard that this involved her being called a "slag". She broke down "in desperation and panic" and told her father what had happened.
He told her mother who insisted they went to the police.
Adam Johnson was arrested at home on 2 March 2015, on suspicion of sexual activity with a child.
He asked the police if this was in relation to the victim, claiming that he "only gave her a couple of shirts".
The court heard that when interviewed Johnson "was proceeding on the basis that, like him", the victim "had deleted all the WhatsApp messages and so, rather like the Snapchat messages, they would not be retrieved by the police".
The passengers, mostly Hindu pilgrims, had just alighted from a local train at Dhamara Ghat station and were on their way to a temple in Saharsa district.
An angry crowd is said to have beaten the driver and set two coaches on fire.
Rescue operations are under way and police reinforcements have been sent.
Senior state police officer SK Bhardwaj said it was difficult to say how many people had died as many bodies had been dismembered.
The incident took place at 08:40 India time [03:10GMT]. The pilgrims were hit by the Rajya Rani Express travelling on the opposite track.
Railway officials said the express train was travelling at high speed as it was not expected to stop at Dhamara Ghat station.
But after the accident, it stopped a few hundred metres away. An angry mob then pulled out the driver and severely assaulted him.
More police have been sent to the area but the region is extremely remote and inaccessible by road.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has expressed grief over the incident and ordered district officials to the scene.
India's state-owned railway network is vast - it operates 9,000 passenger trains and carries some 18 million passengers every day.
A government-appointed safety panel in its report last year said about 15,000 people were killed each year crossing train tracks in what officials describe as "unlawful trespassing".
The 22-year-old was found by police on patrol on the A451 in Kidderminster just after 05:00 GMT on Sunday.
He was lying between the bus depot island and Comberton Hill island and was taken to hospital, where he died.
Det Sgt Laura Wright from West Mercia Police said the man may have been involved in a disturbance at a nightclub.
She said: "We are keeping an open mind in relation to this investigation.
"Initial indications are that the man was in a collision with a vehicle but we are also considering that he was involved in an altercation.
"We are currently linking this incident to a disturbance outside the Tribe nightclub on Green Street, Kidderminster, which occurred at around 4.50am and we're keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this".
The man's family has been told and formal identification will take place later.
The show at the Fonda Theatre marked next month's reissue of the 1971 LP that includes Brown Sugar and Wild Horses.
The audience on Wednesday included Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, Harry Styles, Leonard Cohen and Patricia Arquette.
The concert at the 1,300-capacity venue sold out instantly.
"So this is our first show of our tour,'' Sir Mick Jagger told the crowd, according to the Associated Press. "Tonight we're doing something we've never done before... we're going to do the whole of Sticky Fingers."
The Stones played for an hour and a half, and used its encore to pay tribute to the blues guitar legend BB King, who died last week.
"He was one of our favourite guitarists," Sir Mick said, "a wonderful guy who played with us on a number of occasions."
The Stones kick off their North American Zip Code tour in San Diego on Sunday.
Buttler fell lbw to Taskin Ahmed for 57 to leave England 123-7, chasing 239.
"You don't have to run up to a guy. I'm disappointed to get out, but emotions were running high," said Buttler.
"I was a little bit disappointed in the fashion they celebrated. Mainly the way they celebrated by running towards me and giving me a bit of a send-off."
The umpires intervened in the confrontation which followed the dismissal as several fielders approached Buttler.
He added: "They were obviously delighted to get the wicket. Maybe I should have just walked away."
That animosity then appeared to spill over after the match, with vice-captain Ben Stokes seeming to confront Tigers opener Tamim Iqbal as other players shook hands.
Stokes later tweeted: "Congrats to Bangladesh on the win tonight, outplayed us, What I won't stand for is someone putting a shoulder to my team-mate at handshakes."
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza, who earned the man-of-the-match award for taking 4-29, said both sets of players needed to show self-restraint.
"Sometimes, a lot of things happen in the heat of the moment. But players from both sides should control themselves," he said.
The two sides meet in a third and series-deciding match in Chittagong on Wednesday.

The tournament, won for a fourth time by Germany, featured a record-equalling 171 goals, some shock results and was described by some as the best ever.
Blatter says Brazil outshone South Africa, which was awarded a mark of 9 after it staged the event in 2010.
There were fears surrounding security, transport and stadiums, but these proved largely unfounded.
Most of the drama of the 20th World Cup came on the pitch.
A 5-1 thrashing of holders Spain by the Netherlands set the tone, with underdogs Costa Rica, Algeria and Colombia all impressing in the knockout stages.
The eventual champions humbled hosts Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals, before a 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina saw them take the title.
There was controversy, too, with Uruguay striker Luis Suarez handed a four-month ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini
"As a footballer, such a punishment hurts," said Blatter at his final news conference in Rio. "But as Fifa president, I have to accept the decisions that are taken by our independent committees."
Blatter was booed at several grounds during the World Cup but said he had "to live with that".
However, he reacted angrily when one female reporter put it to him that Fifa, football's world governing body, is corrupt.

"Listen lady," he said. "When you speak about corruption, then you have to present evidence."
Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke described the World Cup in Brazil as "truly unique" and called on the hosts of future tournaments to take inspiration.
Russia will host the competition in 2018, while Qatar is scheduled to stage the tournament in 2022.
"The people from Russia and Qatar who have been in Brazil, they have learned a lot and they know what the challenge is," Valcke told the BBC.
"I'm sure the next two World Cups will be as beautiful as this one... different, but as beautiful as the one here in Brazil."
He added: "When you take the responsibility to organise a World Cup, you have to understand that you have to be the best and you have to deliver the most important event."
EDF will now make a final investment decision on the Hinkley Point nuclear reactor in September, France's economy minister Emmanuel Macron told French newspaper Journal du Dimanche.
Mr Macron said just last month a decision on the £18bn nuclear plant would be made in early May.
EDF, which is 85% French state owned, on Friday detailed plans to raise €4bn.
Up to €3bn in the expected rights issue, which will allow shareholders to buy new shares in the firm, will be provided by the French government.
The company said the "significant recapitalisation" would make it possible for it to go ahead with "its strategic investment programme including Hinkley Point C".
It also said it planned to consult with unions before announcing its decision - a 60-day process. Unions have criticised the cost of the project.
A decision on the nuclear plant had previously been expected at the end of March.
The Hinkley Point nuclear power plant could ultimately produce 7% of British electricity and create 25,000 jobs, according to EDF. It had been due to start producing electricity in 2025, but the delays to the investment decision mean many expect this date to slip.
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 project in exchange for a 33.5% stake.
But EDF has been struggling to find the cash for its remaining 66.5% stake.
Last month, the company's chief executive, Jean-Bernard Levy, said that the financial context was "challenging" and that he was negotiating with the French government to secure more funding.
The UK government has 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.
It has said it is "committed" to Hinkley.
The pair were found when police were called to St Ives at about 12:40 GMT amid reports of violence.

Each firm neglected to pay one worker the required amount and collectively owed staff £7,587.
The employers, who have all now repaid the outstanding wages, ranged from petrol stations and hairdressers to couriers and travel firms.
In 2013, the government revised rules allowing it to publicly name companies found to have breached wage laws.
On 1 October, the national minimum wage rose to by 20p to £6.70 per hour.
It stands at £6.70 per hour for adults, £5.30 per hour for 18 to 20-year-olds and £3.87 per hour for 16 to 17-year-olds. Apprentices are entitled to the minimum wage for their age group.
Those who do not pay the correct rates face fines of up to £20,000, as well as criminal prosecution.
The 10 employers who underpaid workers were:

The unit at Banbury's Horton General Hospital is currently midwife-led, rather than consultant-led.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had hoped to reopen the obstetric unit in January but now says it will not be until March.
Chief executive Dr Bruno Holthof said there was still a doctor shortage.
He said: "Across the NHS, hospital trusts are affected by a shortage of obstetric doctors, and unfortunately this has also hit recruitment for the Horton General Hospital.
"We are disappointed that we cannot return obstetric-led maternity services to the Horton in January as hoped and we will continue to advertise widely, offering an enhanced package to attract the candidates we need.
"Patient safety must come first, and of course we cannot run the obstetric-led service without the staff for it to operate safely."
The unit requires nine doctors.
A petition with 17,000 signatures against the downgrade plan was delivered to the board in August.
Midwives at the hospital submitted a collective grievance via the GMB union earlier this month, saying staff had not been consulted properly over the change and the impact on their jobs.
Mr Sadpara was the second Pakistani to summit five 8,000m (26,000ft) peaks in his home country, as well as Mount Everest, the Alpine Club of Pakistan said.
He had been suffering from blood cancer and other serious conditions.
"Pakistan has lost its hero today," Mr Sharif said.
"Sadpara's endeavours of winning laurels for the country will always be remembered in golden words."
Mr Sadpara leaves behind three sons and a daughter.
One of his sons, Arif, told the AFP news agency that his father died at around noon local time on 21 November, in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, near Islamabad.
Mr Sadpara's cousin, Esa Khan Sadpara, told the BBC the adventurer had been battling a range of conditions.
"We have been at the military hospital for 15 days. The doctors here discovered that his lungs had been destroyed by tuberculosis.
"They tried to bring the condition of his lungs and the liver under a bit of control before they could start the procedures for blood cancer, but Hasan did not last," he said.
"Hasan had suffered a severe bout of pneumonia four years ago, shortly after he climbed the Everest. Probably that started the rot in his body."
Esa Khan Sadpara said the chief minister of Pakistan's Punjab province, Shahbaz Sharif, had sent the family a cheque for 2.5 million rupees ($23,877; £19,147).
"We are also thankful to all the doctors who looked after us well and did everything they could save him," he said.
The mountaineer's family said he was 42, according to his national ID. Other reports have claimed he was some years older.
Politicians and the public shared their sorrow at the loss of the brave climber on social media.
Pakistan's former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote on Twitter: "Deeply saddened by the death of legendary mountaineer Hassan Sadpara. His legacy will remain with us forever. May Allah bless his soul."
"Rest in peace Hassan Sadpara. You will remain as an icon of courage of the people of #GilgitBaltistan and as a man of excellence," â€
Isleworth Crown Court heard Samson Haile spoke to the woman, 26, in a sexual way and touched her even though she asked to be let out of the cab
The same night Haile asked another female passenger to have sex with him. The woman, an off-duty police officer, linked the incidents.
Haile, of Lionel Road North, Brentford, was found guilty of sexual assault.
The court heard he engaged the first passenger in a conversation as soon as she got into his vehicle in Ladbroke Grove and continued to touch her until she escaped.
Uber said it was a "terrible incident" and "as soon as we heard what happened the driver was immediately stopped from using our service".
It added that Haile had passed the required criminal record checks all private hire and taxi drivers must go through before being issued with a licence.
As part of his sentence Haile was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order banning him from working as or applying to be a private hire driver in England or Wales.
He must also sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years.
The red kites at Gannochy made off with pants and socks from a nearby wild swimming spot.
RSPB officials made the discovery when they went to ring and record the kites' four new chicks.
The estate's gamekeeper Dave Clement said it was the second year in a row that the birds had taken garments from swimmers.
Mr Clement, a member of the Angus Glens Moorland Group, said it appeared that the kites had become more discerning in their choice of undergarments.
He said: "The licences ringer who went up the tree to the nest said there were Armani pants and another brand, as well as socks, which they must have pinched off the swimmers at the local gorge.
"It seems they will take anything to line the nest, then lay the eggs on top, and someone must have gone home minus some underwear.
"It is clearly working because the nest is very successful.
"Last year there were two chicks, now it's four, and there is clearly plenty of food for them on the estate."
"Given our history here, I believe that the United States has a moral obligation to help Laos heal," he said.
He referred to America's secret and devastating bombing of Laos during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s.
Some $90m (£68m) will be spent over three years for the removal of cluster bombs and other unexploded ordnance.
That compares to $100m spent in the last 20 years.
President Obama described Laos as the most heavily bombed nation in history. Eight bombs a minute were dropped on average during the Vietnam war between 1964 and 1973 - more than the amount used during the whole of World War II.
The US flew 580,344 bombing missions over Laos, dropping 260m bombs - equating to 2m tons of ordnance, with many targets in the south and north struck time and again.
Most devices dropped were anti-personnel cluster bombs. An estimated 30% of these munitions did not detonate.
Ten of the 18 Laotian provinces have been described as "severely contaminated" by unexploded ordnance (UXO).
Mine-clearing agencies estimate that about 288m cluster munitions and about 75m unexploded bombs were left across Laos after the war ended.
Cluster bombs scatter explosives across a wide area and often fail to detonate on impact.
They pose a significant threat to civilians because of both their impact at the time of use and their deadly legacy.
Launched from the ground or dropped from the air, cluster munitions consist of containers that open and disperse sub-munitions indiscriminately over a wide area.
Many explosive sub-munitions, also known as bomblets, fail to detonate as designed, becoming landmines that kill and maim indiscriminately.
They are difficult to locate and remove, posing a danger to civilians long after conflicts end.
Children are particularly at ris, as they can be attracted to the bombs' toy-like appearance.
The Convention on Cluster Munitions bans the stockpiling, use and transfer of virtually all existing cluster bombs, and also provides for the clearing up of unexploded munitions.
It has been adopted by 108 states, but not the US which, according to some estimates, spent as much on clean-up efforts in Laos between 1995 and 2013 as it spent in three days of bombing during the war.
Laos is likely to ask for an extension to its commitment to get rid of UXO when Convention member states next meet in August 2020.
The number of casualties from air-dropped explosive devices - mostly cluster munitions - in Laos since 1964 is estimated by the Landmine and Clustering Munition Monitor to be around 50,000 people. Of these about 29,000 people were killed and 21,000 injured. The overwhelming majority were civilians.
Today only a handful of people are killed and injured, the figures show.
But the threat posed by UXO stops villagers from getting to their farms and renders vast tracts of agricultural land useless until they have been cleared of munitions.
The president's announcement has been widely welcomed by aid agencies working to address the UXO problem in Laos, which include the Halo Trust, the Mines Advisory Group, Norwegian People's Aid, UXO Laos and Handicap International.
"Before the president's announcement I feared that the UXO operation in Laos would take hundreds of years," Mines Advisory Group country director Simon Rea told the BBC from Vientiane. "Now I am optimistic this can be reduced to decades."
"The president's announcement is extremely good news for us and for poor families in rural areas who lives are still blighted by UXO.
Likewise Halo Trust CEO James Cowan said the president's announcement will have a profound effect on the people of Laos.
"It will help them live and farm in safety on their land, as well as creating opportunities for development and infrastructure," he said.
"Explosive remnants of war have blighted their lives for far too long. It is a momentous step in Laos's journey towards freedom from the deadly debris of war."
"Today more than ever we are getting a much better grasp of the scale of the contamination," Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) Senior Advocacy and Research Advisor Lucy Pinches told the BBC.
"We are using survey triangulation data to place contaminated land into blocks or boxes which can then be systematically cleared of mines."
Aid agencies have also gained access to Pentagon bombing records so that they can identify which areas of land - mostly the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the south and the Lao communist party headquarters in the north - were bombed and likely to contain unexploded bombs.
"More partnerships in the last couple of years among international clearance NGOs has greatly helped in pushing this process forward," NPA Laos Country Director Jonas Zachrisson told the BBC.
But at the same time he cautions that "much of the country remains unsurveyed with limited data regarding the extent, scope and nature of the problem".
President Obama is the first US president to visit Laos and has adopted a noticeably conciliatory approach towards his hosts. He said that the US bombings had destroyed "villages and entire valleys, killing countless civilians".
His approach has been welcomed by Laotian President Bounnhang Vorachit as a way of enhancing mutual trust between the two countries after the devastating war.
The president in return has promised the government will step up its efforts to locate and return US servicemen missing in the war.
Police said 230 of the birds - worth more than £1,000 - were taken from a shed near Laurencekirk.
The theft is thought to have happened in the early hours of Friday.
Investigating officer PC Marc Camus, of Police Scotland, said: "Due to the number of ducks taken it is believed that a vehicle similar in size to a pick-up truck or a transit van would have been sufficient."
He added: "The breeds of ducks taken are not common and are difficult to source. The ducks may therefore be offered for sale to other poultry farmers.
"If anyone has any information about this incident they are asked to call Police Scotland on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
The 24-year-old IT analyst has admitted the crime, said police, for which he could face up to six years in jail.
Motorists were left in shock last week when footage from a Japanese porn film was displayed on an electronic screen in south Jakarta.
The video ran for five minutes on Friday before power was eventually cut.
However the clip had already been captured on many mobile phones and soon spread across social media.
The man, who was arrested in his office, allegedly carried out the prank after seeing login details displayed on the billboard.
"The suspect claims he worked alone," Jakarta Police Chief Muhammad Iriawan told news agency AFP. "But we are still investigating whether he was working alone, whether he had a particular motive or whether he was just fooling around."
Access to pornographic websites is blocked in Muslim-majority Indonesia, which has in the past also banned popular websites such as Tumblr and Vimeo for adult content.
The police chief previously told the Associated Press that the perpetrator could be charged under either the Electronic Transaction Law, which carries a maximum prison sentence of six years and a fine of 1 billion rupiah ($77,000; £60,000) or the Pornography Law, which carries a prison sentence of up to 12 years.
In the autumn of 2013, when I was making my documentary "How China Fooled the World" - which you can watch by clicking here - the prevailing view among Chinese business leaders and government officials is that China's growth "miracle" would go on and on and on.
So the film, which argued that the world's number two economy is heading for a sharp slowdown in growth and a possible crash, caused considerable grumpiness among China's authorities when it was broadcast.
And Beijing had shouty allies in the West's many bankers and investors, who have been long-term bulls of China. Goldman man (as it were) told me I simply didn't get it: China was and is unique; it would therefore be the one economy in history not subject to the normal rules of financial gravity.
What is therefore striking about my current trip to Shanghai, Beijing and Wuxi (a second tier city more-or-less the same size as London) is that the film's core argument is now conventional wisdom among officials and business leaders.
Pretty much everyone I met said that since the 2008 global financial crash, China had become dangerously dependent on debt-fuelled investment, in infrastructure, housing and heavy industry in particular.
They recognise that if China were to continue investing at a globally unprecedented rate of 50% of national income - greater than even Japan at its 1980s peak - and accumulating debts at an annual rate of more than 15% of GDP, there is a serious risk of a calamitous Japanese crash á la 1990.
So the new economic gospel among the Chinese elite is that growth needs to slow down, and is slowing down, because there has to be a reconstruction or rebalancing of the economy more towards consumer spending and technological innovation.
What shocked me (and I am not normally shockable) is that most business leaders and investors I met said that what they saw as a "transition" was proving painful - and would lead to the collapse of some businesses, especially in heavy industrial sectors where there is significant over-capacity.
And no one tried to persuade me that China isn't changing gears - from an annual growth rate of 10% before 2008, and 7% till recently - to a significantly lower rate of growth. You can see some of what China's company bosses said to me in a film I've made for News at Ten tonight.
Where there is disagreement is the level of what Beijing officials blithely call "the new normal" for growth: I heard 5%, 4% and 3% as being the probable base for the next decade.
To be clear, if it is any of those numbers, that represents a dramatic change both in the momentum China can provide to the global economy and to the annual increments Chinese people can expect for living standards.
So this "transition" is as significant - in a long-term sense - as any global economic event of the past 30 years. We have already seen some of the effects in tumbling prices for commodities and energy, as China's appetite wanes, and in the stagnation of living standards in its many client and competitor economies.
The prospects for commodity and energy producers, from Australia, to Russia and Brazil, aren't what they were. Other emerging market manufacturers, from Malaysia to Mexico, have much to fear from China's devaluation and redoubled attempts to use technology to improve productivity.
Perhaps half the world, in an economic sense, is damaged by this Chinese recalibration. And although there is a boost to living standards in consumer economies like ours - from falls in the price of energy and other imported goods - that windfall cannot compensate in the longer term for a world growing slower.
And the risk of a fully-fledged Chinese crash - tumbling prices of bloated property and shares, companies and municipalities unable to repay debts - is not de minimis.
The really big point for me is that the psychology of those making important economic decisions in China appears to have shifted fundamentally. Until this trip, what I always found exhilarating about China was the exuberance and optimism of everyone I met.
Now I encounter a sense of caution and mild anxiety. Which may represent a scaling back of lending and investing exuberance just in the nick of time. Or it could be one nudge from the kind of collective pessimism that triggers serious economic shocks.
Kim Jong-nam is thought to have been poisoned as he waited to board a flight in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
Local authorities are carrying out an autopsy to establish the exact cause of Mr Kim's death, but Pyongyang has reportedly objected.
Police have arrested one woman in connection with the death, but are still looking for other suspects.
According to reports, North Korea sent a number of representatives to the hospital where the autopsy was being conducted on Wednesday to ask for the return of the body.
Malaysia has yet to formally confirm that the dead man, who was travelling under the name Kim Chol, is Kim Jong-nam.
Malaysia has not bowed to the North Korean demands. One source told Reuters: "Malaysia said it won't be pressured into anything... we will stick to procedures."
Malaysian authorities also announced the arrest of Doan Thi Huong, 28.
Police said the arrested suspect, who was alone and in possession of a Vietnamese travel document, was identified from CCTV footage taken at the airport.
South Korean media have widely reported that two women, said to be North Korean agents, were involved and fled the airport in a taxi, though Malaysian police have not confirmed those details.
North Korea's foreign assassinations
A grainy image broadcast in South Korea and Malaysia shows a woman wearing a white T-shirt with the letters "LOL" written on the front.
Earlier, Malaysia state news agency Bernama reported that a woman from Myanmar was detained at the airport. It is unclear if that report was referring to the woman now under arrest.
If confirmed, this would be the most high-profile death linked to North Korea since Kim Jong-un's uncle, Chang Song-thaek, was executed in 2013.
The government of South Korea has said it is certain it is him, with its spy agency is said to have told lawmakers they believe Mr Kim was poisoned.
Kim Jong-nam was attacked on Monday morning while waiting at the budget terminal of Kuala Lumpur International Airport for a 10:00 flight to Macau, Malaysian newspaper reports say, quoting police.
Exactly how the attack unfolded is still unclear. Officials and witnesses have variously said he was splashed with a chemical or had a cloth placed over his face. Earlier reports spoke of a "spray" being used or a needle.
He died on the way to hospital.
It was not the first time Mr Kim had travelled under an assumed identity: he was caught trying to enter Japan using a false passport in 2001. He told officials he had been planning to visit Tokyo Disneyland.
The Tokyo incident is thought by some analysts to have spoilt Kim Jong-nam's chances of succeeding his father, Kim Jong-il, who died in 2011.
Bypassed in favour of his youngest half-brother for succession, Kim Jong-nam kept a low profile, spending most of his time overseas in Macau, mainland China and Singapore.
He later spoke out against his family's dynastic control of North Korea and in a 2012 book was quoted as saying he believed his younger half-brother lacked leadership qualities.
But he had said he was not interested in assuming the leadership himself.
North Korea's secretive first family
Unnamed US government sources have said they believe he was poisoned by North Korean agents.
South Korean spy chief Lee Byung-ho told South Korean MPs that Pyongyang had wanted to kill Kim Jong-nam for several years, but that he was being protected by China.
But some analysts question what motive Kim Jong-un would have to kill his estranged half-brother, given the risk of the operation and possibilities for embarrassment, and the fact that he was not seen as a threat to Mr Kim's leadership.
Still, Mr Kim was reportedly targeted for assassination in the past. A North Korean spy jailed by South Korea in 2012 is said to have admitted trying to organise a hit-and-run accident targeting him.
The secretive state has a long history of sending agents overseas to carry out assassinations, attacks and kidnappings.
Kathleen Sebelius was questioned by a House panel about the 1 October launch.
"You deserve better," Ms Sebelius said to the public, pledging the site would be repaired by the end of November.
The federal and state-run websites had been projected to enrol seven million uninsured Americans in the first year.
"I'm accountable to you for fixing these problems and I'm committed to earning your confidence back," Ms Sebelius said in sworn testimony in the House energy and commerce committee.
The 1 October launch of the federal and state marketplace websites was the culmination of more than three years of political combat in Washington over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law by Mr Obama in 2010 and known to both sides as Obamacare.
Sources: BBC reporting, news media accounts
Considered the largest overhaul of the US healthcare system since the 1960s, it aims to extend health insurance coverage to the estimated 15% of the US population who lack it. Those people receive no coverage from their employers and are not covered by US health programmes for the poor and the elderly.
But Healthcare.gov - akin to a shopping website for health insurance plans - has been plagued by glitches, especially long wait times to sign up and serious flaws on the back end where customers' data are processed and sent to insurance companies.
Ms Sebelius, appointed secretary of health and human services by Mr Obama in 2009, told the House committee in prepared remarks that more than 20 million people had visited the website since its launch, but acknowledged the experience was "frustrating" for many Americans.
The Obama administration has declined to say how many Americans have actually enrolled in new policies through the sites, rankling Republicans who accuse it of withholding vital information.
Ms Sebelius said the problems were "fixable" and that changes had already been made to improve the site's speed and reliability. She said the federal government was working with the numerous contractors who built the site, and that the Obama administration projected it would be fully up and running by the end of November.
The committee's senior Democrat, Henry Waxman, acknowledged "the launch of the new website has not gone well" but just as with a prescription drug programme for pensioners enacted under Republican President George Bush, the "early glitches will soon be forgotten".
"We should keep this issue in perspective - the Affordable Care Act is working," he said. "It has been improving the health security of millions of Americans for the past three years."
Republican committee chairman Fred Upton called the website "inept", saying that five weeks into enrolment, "the news seems to get worse by the day".
He also questioned why hundreds of thousands of Americans had received letters from their insurance companies saying their policies were being cancelled - despite past assurances from Mr Obama that people who liked their insurance plans would be able to keep them under the health law.
Ms Sebelius rejected that criticism, saying that people whose plans were dropped would have access under the new law to better insurance coverage at comparable rates.
And Democrat Frank Pallone, a supporter of the health law, called Republicans' concerns over the cancellation letters a "red herring" and said insurance companies were closing "lousy policies with high prices because they can't compete".
Some Republicans have called for Ms Sebelius' resignation over the issue.
They argue the problems with the website that prevent consumers from signing up reflect broader problems with the healthcare law.
Republicans view the health law as a costly and inappropriate government intrusion into the healthcare system, and have sought to undo or undermine it at every turn.
"Hold me accountable for the debacle. I'm responsible," Ms Sebelius told the committee after several members asked which contractors and Obama administration officials were responsible for issues.
Aside from establishing the healthcare.gov health insurance marketplace website and others run by the states, the law bolsters coverage requirements for insurance firms, mandates that individuals carry insurance or pay a tax penalty, and offers subsidies to assist in the purchase of the insurance. It also expands eligibility for the Medicaid government health programme for the poor.
Amid the fallout, the White House has said it will grant a six-week extension - until 31 March 2014 - in the healthcare law's requirement for individuals to buy insurance or face a tax penalty.
Mr Obama is scheduled to speak about the healthcare rollout in the state of Massachusetts on Wednesday afternoon. | The list of Germans named in the Panama papers makes for colourful reading.

The trial gave 655 patients with melanoma the drug pembrolizumab, which stops cancers evading the immune system's assault.
The data, released ahead of the world's biggest cancer conference, also showed 15% of patients had no sign of cancer.
Experts said the findings were exciting and "really a step forward".
The immune system is a powerful defence against infection. However, there are many "brakes" built in to stop it attacking our own tissues.
Cancer - which is a corrupted version of healthy tissue - can take advantage of those brakes to evade assault.
Pembrolizumab, one of a new class of immunotherapies, cuts the brake known as PD-1.
Promising early data on the drug means it is already being used by doctors around the world.
But the latest findings, to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual conference, suggest there is a long-term benefit.
Dr Caroline Robert, a researcher at the Gustave Roussy Institute in France, said: "Before 2011 advanced melanoma had a median overall survival of less than one year and things have changed a lot.
"What is really exciting is to see at three years the estimated survival rate is 40% and this is regardless of previous treatment."
Even patients that had tried other immunotherapies appeared to benefit in the trial.
However, patients did develop side effects including fatigue and a rash.
Dr Daniel Hayes, the president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, told the BBC News website: "This is frankly a pretty exciting abstract.
"This has been a bad disease, it's hard to treat, it's a sneaky disease and the mortality rates have been enormous so to see 40% of patients alive at three years is really a step forward.
"We're even wondering if we could use the word cure here, but it's going to take longer follow up."
Prof Peter Johnson, the chief clinician at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's fantastic news that the benefits of this drug can last for years rather than months for patients with melanoma who until recently have had limited treatment options.
"Pembrolizumab, one of several new drugs that works by unveiling cancer cells to the immune system, has already been approved for use on the NHS for patients with melanoma."

Leigh Halfpenny - who landed 20 points in all - kicked them into a 15-10 half-time lead, with Liam Messam crossing for the hosts' try.
The Lions forwards dominated the second half and they earned a penalty try when they took the Maori apart at a scrum.
Maro Itoje crossed four minutes later as the Lions laid down a Test marker.
Warren Gatland's side came into the game with two wins from four games, following Wednesday's 23-22 defeat by the Highlanders.
That made this a must-win game and Gatland went with power in a bid to neutralise the dangerous Maori attack.
And the tourists did just that with a combination of smothering defence and precise kicking pinning the Maori back.
A tight first half saw Messam pounce to score an opportunist try after George North had fumbled Nehe Milner-Skudder's grubber kick.
But that was a rare foray into the 22 for the Maori and the hosts barely got out of their own half after the break as the visitors' power up front told.
They scored in the 10 minutes the Maori were without Tawera Kerr-Barlow after the scrum-half was yellow carded for a dangerous tackle on Halfpenny.
Many of the Lions team that started the game in Rotorua played themselves into contention to start the first Test against the All Blacks on Saturday, 24 June.
It was no surprise that the Lions' two tries came from the pack.
They were imperious throughout the match, winning all of their scrums and line-outs.
The scrum brought the first try on 51 minutes as the Maori forwards, defending their 5m line, were forced to turn it illegally by the power of the Lions, with referee Jaco Peyper given no choice but to give the score.
Minutes later and it was another scrum, another score. This time Taulupe Faletau drove from the base but was held up just short of the line and lock Itoje, who had been outstanding all game, picked up and dived over from close range.
With his forwards excelling in the wet conditions, albeit against a disappointing Maori side, Gatland might be praying for rain in Auckland in a week's time.
Peter O'Mahony, who started as captain, was excellent in the back row alongside Faletau and Sean O'Brien and tour captain Sam Warburton will not be an automatic starter in Auckland.
With Owen Farrell an injury doubt for the first Test, England centre Ben Te'o produced the perfect audition to nail down the number 12 jersey.
The Worcester back was the visitors' most dangerous attacking threat, running for 70m in total and being able to break the gainline against a big, physical side.
His centre partner Jonathan Davies was another who excelled in the tricky conditions and both could start in midfield against the All Blacks.
Ireland half-backs Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton looked nailed on for the nine and 10 jerseys, while Halfpenny, with his metronomic kicking, will be hard to dislodge at 15.
While George Kruis looked one-dimensional in attack, his leadership of the line-out will be invaluable to Gatland, and Itoje's all-action game means he will surely start at lock.
Anthony Watson, despite being starved of possession, did enough to suggest he could start against the All Blacks, but doubts remain over North's form on the opposite wing.
Lions boss Warren Gatland: "It was pretty good. If you look at territory and possession we dominated things. A couple of stupid penalties in the first half but we managed the game well and squeezed the life out of them.
"We've been guilty of putting ourselves under pressure but we got some going forward - even the try they scored was a lucky, speculative kick through.
"We're benefiting from the experience of playing the quality of sides we are."

The Saturday team is unbeaten on tour and today's performance will have given them a huge shot of belief a week before the first Test. The fundamentals and foundations of the gameplan for the Lions were there for everyone to see, namely All Blacks boss Steve Hansen, who was an interested spectator in the stands.
Physicality, set-piece, line speed, work-rate and a top-notch kicking game are the hallmarks of a strong Gatland team, and these Lions are not going to deviate from what has brought him plenty of success before.
In saying all that, as impressive as tonight's victory was, you just know they'll have to be 10 or 20% better next weekend at least in order to win. Roll on next Saturday.

Manager Gordon Strachan says he was keen to arrange a warm-up match before the Euro 2016 qualifier against Republic of Ireland eight days later.
It is regarded as essential to keeping the players fit with the Scottish Premiership and the top two tiers in England having finished in May.
"The match will give us competitive match time," said Strachan.
"We are all looking forward to the next fixture in the European qualifiers and, given the June fixture arrives at a difficult time for ourselves and the Republic of Ireland, essentially between the end of the current season and prior to the start of next season, it is important we plan as meticulously as we can while realising that we won't know the full picture in terms of our squad's individual circumstances until May.
"We will ensure those [players] whose seasons finish in early May will have a fitness programme to work on over the break, those involved in play-offs have adequate recovery and maintenance, and those who may be involved in the Scottish Cup final or FA Cup final also have a programme tailored to their needs."
Qatar have won their last two internationals, both 1-0 at home, beating Algeria and then Slovenia to move up 37 places to 99th in the world rankings.
Scotland have moved up 10 places to 29th after last month's victories over Northern Ireland and Gibraltar, although the latter win did not count as their opponents are not recognised by football's world governing body.
Their rise up the rankings has boosted their chances of being included in pot two for the 2018 World Cup qualification draw, which is made in Saint Petersburg on 25 July.
However, that will depend largely on the result in Dublin as even a win over Qatar might not help their cause.
The 6-1 victory at home to Gibraltar took Strachan's side into third place in Euro qualifying Group D, just behind second-placed Germany on goal difference, before the visit to Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
The match against Qatar will have a 19:45 BST kick-off.
Qatar will use the FA's national football centre at St George's Park as their base for the match against Scotland and their challenge match against Northern Ireland on 31 May.
Saturday's vital 1-0 win over Aston Villa means Swansea are now 10-points clear of the bottom three with just seven games remaining.
However, Williams says he will be pleased when the campaign ends.
"This season has been a grind and the Villa game summed it up. It has not been enjoyable, to be honest," he said.
Williams admits the season has been unsettling, with Swansea sacking manager Garry Monk and appointing Francesco Guidolin, who has since suffered health problems.
"There has been a lot of changes, with the manager for example, so it is not ideal," Williams reflected.
"It is the kind of season you want to get out the way.
"Get safe, see where you finish and try and put everything right before next season.
"We will have a review at the end of the season and this one is an important one.
"For whatever reason, we've got it wrong this season.
"It is unacceptable for a club like Swansea to have a season like this, I believe."
Williams feels Swansea can get back to their best next term and ensure they get back to a more comfortable position, having finished ninth, 12th and eighth in their three previous Premier League campaigns.
"With the players we've got, at such a good club, we need to do better next season so there is a lot of talking to be done in the summer," he said.
"The pleasing thing is we've got through it.
"There are many reasons why (Swansea have underperformed) and we will all have to do a lot of reflecting, looking at ourselves.
"There has been a lot going on.
"The pressure is off us now a little bit. We shouldn't be content to be done with 36 points.
"We need to finish as strongly as we can and then it all looks a little bit better."

The 27-year-old tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone and Clenbuterol last month.
Wilson's test was conducted after she ran a time of 11.95 seconds for the 100m at the Bedford International Games on 12 June.
UKA say Wilson has the right to a full hearing of the case.
The provisional suspension came into effect on 9 July. It was issued by UK Anti-Doping, the independent body responsible for all anti-doping programmes and the management of violations and disciplinary issues in the United Kingdom.
Wilson, from Lincolnshire, could face a two-year ban if found guilty of doping.
This year she has set new personal best times in the 60m and 100m. She ran 7.25 seconds for the 60m at the European Indoor Trials in Sheffield in February, and 11.57 seconds for the 100m at the Inter Counties Championships in Bedford in May.
She also ran a wind-assisted time of 11.41 seconds for the 100m in Loughborough in May.
Wilson is coached by George Skafidas, and reached the semi-finals of the 60m sprint at the European Indoor Championships in Paris in March.
She ran 7.30 seconds in qualifying for the semi-finals, but did not progress to the final despite bettering her time to 7.28 seconds.
Clenbuterol is the same substance that Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador tested positive for during last year's Tour de France. He said the positive test was a result of eating contaminated beef.
Clenbuterol, similar to the asthma drug salbutamol, is used to treat breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator. It causes an increase in aerobic capacity, blood pressure and oxygen transportation, and speeds the rate at which fats are burned. It is officially classified as a sympathomimetic steroid.
Away from the track, Wilson works as a sport development officer for East Lindsey District Council, who said in a statement: "East Lindsey District Council is aware of the investigation announced today by UK Athletics in relation to international athlete Bernice Wilson.
"The council takes this very seriously, and will be discussing this fully with Bernice, but it would be inappropriate to discuss individual staffing issues with third parties."
Hamid Ali Khan, 12, a pupil at Fitzalan High School, died following the crash on Ninian Park Road, Riverside, Cardiff, in February.
The man, from Cardiff, has also been charged with failing to stop after a road collision and driving without insurance.
He is due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on 21 July.
A busy main road in Nottingham was closed for two hours when a large tree blew down and blocked it, causing bus services to be diverted.
High winds also blew down a tree at a school on the outskirts of the city.
The Met Office said gusts as high as 47mph had been recorded at Sutton Bonington in Nottinghamshire.
Dorcas Sukami was on a bus in Nottingham when a tree fell down blocking Hucknall Road at about 15:45 GMT.
"I'm actually really surprised nobody got hurt because the way that the tree fell it covered the whole of the middle of Hucknall Road," she said.
"A couple of the bus drivers were being held up and there was a lot of commotion."
A tree blew down at Woodborough Woods Primary School as parents were picking their children up, but no-one is believed to have been injured.
Highways England has advised people that driving in windy weather can be hazardous, and people should be particularly aware in northern parts of England.
Several roads have been closed for safety to high-sided and vulnerable vehicles, and drivers are being advised to plan ahead and allow plenty of extra travel time.
The suspension follows an appeal by a lawmaker for Lula's Workers' Party.
The MP argued that the prosecutor who called for the ex-president to testify had been "procedurally unfair".
Lula, who denies the corruption allegations, had been scheduled to appear at the hearing on Wednesday.
But late on Tuesday, a member of the National Prosecutors Council accepted the appeal based on alleged procedural errors.
The suspension will be in force until the council further examines the appeal in a general session.
Public prosecutors were going to question the former president about allegations of money laundering connected to property transactions.
Lula is facing accusations that he concealed the ownership of a beachfront apartment in the resort of Guaruja.
The three-storey penthouse south-west of Sao Paulo is estimated to be worth up to $550,000 (£385,000).
It was reportedly renovated for former President Lula's family by the construction firm OAS.
Lawyers for Lula said that while the former president's wife was given the option to buy the flat, they never purchased it.
It is now owned by OAS, which has been linked to a corruption scandal at state oil giant Petrobras.
The BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro reports that Lula is facing a wave of accusations that he used his influence to obtain favours.
But Lula's supporters say the attacks on him are aimed at tarnishing his reputation, amid rumours that he may run for office again in 2018.
He was Brazil's president from 2003 to 2011 and was succeeded in office by his political protege, Dilma Rousseff.
Ewart Shadoff, 28, hit a final-round 67, ending the tournament on 11 under for her best result of the year.
She tied for second with overnight leader Austin Ernst, Angela Stanford, Karine Icher and Sarah Jane Smith.
Spain's Ciganda, 26, was one shot off the pace heading into the final day, but a round of 68 clinched the win.
Her round included four birdies, an eagle and two bogeys and her victory comes four weeks after she won her maiden LPGA title in South Korea.
The tournament at Club de Golf Mexico is the penultimate event of a season that concludes next week with the Tour Championship in Naples, Florida.

A third of seats are up for grabs on both Harrogate Borough Council and Craven District Council. Votes are also being cast for the North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Across England elections are taking place for more than 120 councils and the London Assembly, four mayors and 36 PCCs.
Biggar will start against the Highlanders on Tuesday having shaken off his own head injury issue but feels he currently trails Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell in the fly-half race.
"It's a bit harsh for him to say he's third choice," said Andy Farrell.
"He got a head knock in the first game and hasn't had that much game time."
Biggar will partner Wales and Ospreys half-back partner Rhys Webb against the Highlanders on Tuesday having been forced off in the 22-16 defeat by the Blues by a head injury suffered in the first-half.

The 27-year-old was not considered for selection in the 12-3 win against Crusaders.
"The other boys have played since and played pretty well but Dan's in the hot seat on Tuesday and looking forward to it," Farrell added.

"I don't think it's a pressure situation.
"It's a group that needs to keep on building and the message to the boys this morning about Tuesday is we're building our plan, the things that we do behind the scenes as well as what we do on the pitch.
"That's team harmony, team systems, team togetherness, and Dan's in charge of that on Tuesday
"Dan has been smashing me all morning, so he's fine and ready."
Farrell believes the Lions will be in no rush to call up a replacement if Stuart Hogg is ruled out of the New Zealand tour.
The Scotland full-back collided accidentally with Conor Murray's elbow in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Crusaders.
Hogg is still waiting on the outcome of specialist examinations on his cheek, but defence coach Farrell believes the Lions boast a good array of alternative options.
Jared Payne will slot in at 15 for Tuesday's Highlanders clash, with Elliot Daly and Anthony Watson also comfortable at full-back - and Leigh Halfpenny also a specialist.
"Warren (Gatland) will give Stuart all the time he needs to make sure he's right," said Farrell.
In the suburb of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray they remember a younger teenager who would go and buy you a drink or a snack if you tipped him a euro.
He lived with his parents in a neighbourhood called Langevin, which is leafy if a little rough around the edges.
In the corner shop a family friend remembers Kermiche as a child, playing with his son who was the same age. "But they stopped talking when they hit 16," he recalled.
A man, who would only give his name as "John" said Kermiche was a "geek" who loved games consoles and the internet.

People in the town knew he had tried to go to Syria, earning him a prison sentence and a place on French intelligence's "S list" of terrorist sympathisers.
After his release he would only be seen in the mornings, when he wasn't under his state-imposed curfew.
"He would go around saying he supported Daesh," says John, using a derogatory name for so-called Islamic State.
But the fullest account of the killer's life came from a 20-year old friend who gave her name as Harmony Leroux.
She was crying when we met her but launched into a passionate defence of Kermiche.
She said they were "joined at the hip" for much of their lives, but that he started to ignore her in early 2015.
"He would walk by me in the street and blank me, like he'd been brainwashed," she said.
Harmony said her friend came out of prison on the day of the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March 2016.
She was surprised that the authorities released him at such a tense and emotionally-charged time.
"He came to see me straight after he got out. He gave me his perspective on things. I told him that you couldn't go round killing people in the name of God, that it says so in the Koran."
She believed that she and her friends had talked him into a more tolerant attitude. A fortnight ago they flicked through old college photos together.
"He seemed his old self again. He was respectful of women and full of life," Harmony said.
"But we just don't know why he then did what he did."
Richard McFarlane said the local authority had failed to consult on the trade on the increases.
He said the fare scales will have to be altered to those fixed in January 2013.
A total of 160 taxi drivers backed an appeal to the commissioner that sought increases higher than those proposed.
Highland Council had proposed raising some tariffs by 30p and a £6.50 supplementary booking charge by £1.
However, taxi operators said higher increases were needed to cover fuel and other costs.
In a written decision, Mr McFarlane said the local authority had not held the required consultation.
He said: "The focus has undoubtedly been on the Inverness operators."
The deputy commissioner said councillors had not had "sufficient information" to properly review the scales for all the different rural communities in the Highlands.
Clashes in places where so-called Islamic State (IS) was not present were a "source of deep concern", the US envoy to the anti-IS coalition tweeted.
Turkish forces have attacked what they say are Kurdish "terrorists" since crossing the border last week.
But the Kurdish YPG militia says Turkey just wants to occupy Syrian territory.
Ankara says it aims to push both IS and Kurdish fighters away from its border.
Turkish forces and allied factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forced IS out of the Syrian border city of Jarablus on Tuesday and have since pounded neighbouring villages held by Kurdish-led, US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Turkish military carried out 61 artillery strikes around Jarablus over the past 24 hours Reuters news agency reported on Monday,
Turkey has insisted Kurdish militia, which it regards as terrorists, retreat east across the Euphrates river.
The Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG), which dominates the SDF, says its forces have withdrawn, and that the Turkish action against the group was a "pretext" for occupying Syria.
The US Pentagon spokesman renewed Washington's call for the YPG to pull back over the river, which he said had "largely occurred".
He warned that unco-ordinated operations "provide room for ISIL [IS] to find sanctuary and continue planning attacks against Turkey, the SDF, the United States, and our partners around the world".
Turkish concern over Kurdish expansion increased after the SDF took control of the strategic Syrian city of Manbij from IS two weeks ago.
The liberation of Jarablus - the last remaining IS stronghold on the Turkish border - should have been cause for celebration for the US, Turkey and the groups fighting jihadist militants in northern Syria. Instead it's opened up a whole new set of potential conflicts between Turkey and the Kurdish militias, with the US stuck in the middle.
Washington has long seen the Syrian Kurdish YPG forces as among the most capable in the fight against IS and has supplied training and weaponry to them. But its Nato ally, Turkey, has taken a dim view of that backing.
Add to all that the recent coup attempt in Turkey - which Ankara believes the US was far too slow to condemn - and there's a significant risk of increased instability in a region already torn apart by five years of civil war.
The US always knew the coalitions it was putting together in this part of the world would be fragile - it will now have to use all its diplomatic might to hold things together.
Turkey has been fighting a Kurdish insurgency in its south-east for decades and fears Kurdish gains in northern Syria will fuel Kurdish separatism at home.
Turkish-backed forces moved towards Manbij, 20 miles (30 km) south of Turkey's border, on Monday, Reuters reported.
On Sunday, tens of people were killed in Turkish air strikes on Kurdish-held areas near Jarablus.
A monitoring group said at least 35 civilians and four militants had been killed, while the Turkish military said 25 people, all Kurdish militants, died.
US anti-IS coalition envoy Brett McGurk tweeted from a Defense Department briefing, saying the US "was not involved in these activities, they were not coordinated with US forces and we do not support them.
"Accordingly, we call on all armed actors to stand down and take appropriate measures to deconflict and open channels of communication."
The aggressive tumour was found in a 1.7 million-year-old toe from an ancient human ancestor.
The toe belonged to one of the early hominins, either Homo ergaster or Paranthropus robustus.
The researchers said the findings clearly show cancer is not a disease of modern society, as some people claim.
Tumours have been detected in remains before - a Croatian Neandertal who walked the Earth around 120,000 years ago was one of the oldest.
The new discovery was made in a toe bone from Swartkrans cave in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site near Johannesburg.
Data, published in the South African Journal of Science, showed the metatarsal had osteosarcoma - a rare and deadly form of bone cancer.
Meanwhile, the South African and British researchers also found a benign growth in the backbone of a two million-year-old Australopithecus sediba fossil from the Malapa cave.
Despite cancers being detected in a wide range of species, some people believe the disease is a uniquely modern problem.
Edward Odes, one of the researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand, said: "Modern medicine tends to assume that cancers and tumours in humans are diseases caused by modern lifestyles and environments. Our studies show the origins of these diseases occurred in our ancient relatives millions of years before modern industrial societies existed."
Dr Patrick Randolph-Quinney, from the University of Central Lancashire, told the BBC News website: "The idea that cancers are recent has come out of work on Egyptian mummies where they failed to find evidence of cancers in X-rays, which has skewed our reasoning on this."
However, he added that modern lifestyles do increase the risk of some tumours: "The rise of colorectal cancer with a Western diet, liver cancers from alcohol consumption, lung cancer and smoking are all diseases of modernity.
"There's lots of different causes of cancer and they change through history - if you were a chimney sweep in London you were likely to get lung cancer - a lot is context dependent with new diets and new toxins."
Hannah Birkett, from the Bone Cancer Research Trust, commented: "This discovery is really exciting for osteosarcoma and the field of primary bone cancer research as a whole.
"Modern lifestyles and environmental factors loom large in people's perceptions of the cause of cancer and this finding reconfirms the importance of considering other factors such as bone growth.
"This discovery will hopefully open new doors into investigating the cause of osteosarcoma further."

Michael Saunders, 61, was found dead at the side of the A49 between Leebotwood and Dorrington on 23 June.
Mark Anthony Baker, of Clarence Street, Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf, has been charged with causing death by careless driving.
He has been bailed to appear at Shrewsbury Magistrates' Court on 23 December.
He is also charged with failure to stop after a road accident and failure to report a road accident, a West Mercia Police spokesman said.
In an article published in a book by the Holocaust Educational Trust, the Most Reverend Justin Welby called anti-Semitism an "insidious evil".
He added: "It is a shameful truth that, through its theological teachings, the Church, which should have offered an antidote, compounded the spread of this virus."
The president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Jonathan Arkush, called the archbishop's words "powerful and timely".
In the article, Archbishop Welby said Christians should be "deeply repentant" for the fact that anti-Semitism had "infected the body of the Church.
"We live with the consequences of our history of denial and complicity," he said.
Christians' public attitudes to Jews have changed since the middle of the 20th Century.
Catholics still pray on Good Friday that Jews will convert to Christianity. But references to "perfidious Jews" and "blindness" - which once formed parts of Church services - have been removed.
Pope John XXIII intervened more than 50 years ago, ordering that the Latin word "perfidis", meaning "faithless", be removed.
The word was controversial because of its similarity to the English term "perfidious", which is used as a synonym for "treacherous".
And in 2008, Pope Benedict XVI altered the prayer used in the Tridentine rite, or extraordinary form of the liturgy, removing a reference to "the blindness of that people".
The Church of England's Good Friday liturgy now asks God to take "all blindness and bitterness of heart" from both Jews and Christians.
Mr Arkush said Christians had sometimes been to blame for anti-Semitism "permeating European thought" for thousands of years.
He said that in modern times, it became evident in the debate about Israel and the Palestinians.
"You have such incidents as anti-Israel Christians appropriating Jesus as a Palestinian and saying that Israel (or the collective Jew) is crucifying Jesus anew," he said.
"Such language is inflammatory and untrue."
Dr Ed Kessler, the director of the Woolf Institute in Cambridge for the study of relations between Christians, Jews and Muslims, said it was "too easy" to say that criticism of the state of Israel by Christians could always be anti-Semitic.
But he said the appropriation of Jesus in such a way could be perceived as anti-Semitism.
"Justin Welby's words epitomise a soul change in Christian-Jewish relations since the end of the Second World War and the Holocaust," he said.
"Christianity has shifted from what was, for the most part, an inherent need to condemn Judaism to one of a condemnation of anti-Judaism and warning about the ongoing threat of anti-Semitism.
"This shift has led not to a separation from all things Jewish but, in fact, to a closer relationship with 'the elder brother'."
Dons assistant Tony Docherty joins the national coaching team for this month's fixtures against Canada and Slovenia.
But there are no players from the Pittodrie club, who sit second in the Scottish Premiership.
"I'm disappointed but I seem to be saying the same thing after every squad, so I'm not totally surprised," said McInnes.
"I think they should be in it, some have a stronger case than others."
Last month, McInnes backed Kenny McLean and Ryan Jack for Scotland call-ups after Aberdeen routed Motherwell.
But Scotland coach Gordon Strachan, a former Dons star, who was at Pittodrie to watch the 7-2 victory, has chosen 15 other midfielders in a 30-man squad for the impending double-header.
"We've really developed Niall McGinn [Northern Ireland] as an international player, Jonny Hayes and Adam Rooney [both Republic of Ireland] have become internationals here," added McInnes.
"Danny Ward [Wales] came here and was an international, so we can provide the platform.
"There are other clubs, lesser clubs, getting their players capped [for Scotland]."
Jack, 25, and McGinn, 29, are both out of contract in the summer, along with defender Ash Taylor, while the manager said that second-choice goalkeeper Neil Alexander would be moving on.
"Hopefully, we'll have news after the international break," said McInnes of the negotiations, adding "conversations are ongoing".
Chairman Stewart Milne has indicated that he would like McInnes to extend to his stay in order to lead the club into a proposed new stadium in 2020.
The Dons boss is under contract until 2019, having been in the post for four years.
"It's clear how happy I am here and I do feel we still have a lot of work to do, we want to finish this season strongly.
"If the chairman wishes to talk about it, I'm happy to sit down with him but we have a lot of challenges ahead of us.
"The chairman is busy trying to drive home the stadium and training ground and I'm busy trying to drive home performances on the pitch."
The haul included plastic knuckle dusters and what are suspected to be printed gun parts.
If confirmed, the state's police force has said it would be the first time it had discovered 3D-printed firearm components in a home.
Australian authorities released a series of videos in 2013 highlighting the dangers of using 3D-printed guns.
"We've obviously got to get it through our ballistic experts but we can identify most if not all of the major components of a weapon," detective inspector Scott Knowles of Queensland Police Service told ABC News following the arrest of a 28-year-old suspect in Mudgeeraba.
"To us, it appears that they are complete weapons just requiring assembly.
"The technology's dangerous [because] the materials they're using aren't able to sustain the sorts of forces that come as a result of the weapons they're trying to discharge."
He added that the owner of the printer thought to have been involved had given the machine to the suspect to be calibrated, and was not aware that it was going to be misused.
Last year, Australia's Senate held an inquiry into gun-related violence, during which there were calls for the country's laws to be updated to take account of new technologies.
"We're going to have a situation where someone is going to be shot and injured with the use of a 3D device," warned Howard Brown from the Victims of Crime Assistance League at the time.
It was suggested that it be made an offence to own computer files that would allow 3D-printed weapons to be manufactured.
However, DI Knowles noted that Queensland's current laws were already adequate to prosecute a case if ballistics experts confirmed the 3D-printed parts involved were designed for use in firearms.
"With weapons and parts manufactured this way still being classified as a firearm under current legislation, people can also see themselves before the courts for manufacturing and possessing these items" he said.
3D-printed weapon arrests are still a relatively rare occurrence.
However, a Japanese man was jailed for two years in October after making guns with a 3D printer at his home in Kawasaki, Japan. It is believed he is the first person to have received a prison sentence for such an offence.
Yoshitomo Imura was arrested after he uploaded a video showing how he had created the weapons to the internet.
He told officers that he had not believed his actions had been illegal.
Tighter rules about who is eligible for the scheme are to be introduced, the Ministry of Justice said.
Prisoners will only be allowed out for a specific purpose, such as work experience, and day-release prisoners will also have to wear electronic tags.
Campaigners criticised the move, saying there had been only a few failures.
But the MoJ cited several of the cases in which there had been serious failings as being behind the move.
They include that of Ian McLoughlin, who was convicted of murdering Graham Buck in the village of Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, last July, while on day release.
McLoughlin, who had killed twice before, was sentenced to a whole-life order.
Another incident, which led to an offender being convicted of attempted robbery, also prompted the change, the department said.
Prisons minister Jeremy Wright said: "We're not prepared to see the failures of last summer repeated and public safety compromised.
"Temporary release can be an important tool in helping offenders reintegrate but it should not be an automatic right and we must do all we can to ensure it does not lead to a permanent blight on innocent members of society.
"The system has been too lax up to now and that must change.
"In future when prisoners are let out on licence I want to be sure they are tagged and strictly risk-assessed so we know where they have been and can be sure that they have been tested in the community under strict conditions before being released."
The MoJ said that, from now on, prisoners eligible for release on temporary licence would have to earn it by demonstrating the "right behaviour and a commitment to change".
It will no longer be considered an automatic right which is given when inmates are deemed suitable for open conditions.
There will also be a more thorough assessment of risks before temporary release is authorised.
For prisoners with a history of serious crimes, there will be a new "restricted" level where they will undergo stringent risk assessments by probation and other professionals.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "For a government committed to rehabilitation, justice ministers should feel ashamed that only a quarter of men, and fewer than one in 10 women, leave prison with a job to go to, and proud that their well-established release on temporary licence programme has worked over years to help thousands of prisoners go straight on release.
"Now, in the face of a thankfully few terrible cases, and for the sake of a tough headline, they risk destroying a programme that has proved its worth instead of investigating its few failures and learning from its many successes."
Unlike President Obama, who hesitated in 2013 when confronted with a clear violation of his red line, Trump did not seek allies, ask Congress for permission, or evidently worry about long-term implications.
President Trump, in brief remarks at Mar-a-Lago following a dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping, indicated that the strikes targeted the Syrian military forces that carried out the Idlib chemical weapon attack, an action he suggested "crossed a lot of lines".
The response sent a message, that the use of chemical weapons in Syria carried consequences.
While a dramatic display of military force, it is unclear what impact it will have on the ground. Fifty-nine cruise missiles are unlikely to change Mr Assad's no-holds-barred approach to the six-year old Syrian civil war.
As Mr Obama discovered after negotiating the removal of most (but evidently not all) of Syria's chemical stocks in 2013, it still leaves the Assad regime free to use conventional weapons, and chlorine barrel bombs, to continue his assault on the so-called moderate Syrian opposition and civilians, backed fully by Russia and Iran.
Given that reality, Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have already encouraged the president to go further and take Syria's air force "completely out of the fight".
Mr Obama feared just such a slippery slope. He chose to define America's vital interest in Syria more narrowly, defeating the so-called Islamic State without getting more deeply involved in another costly Middle East quagmire.
Ironically, until today, so did Mr Trump, who opposed military action in 2013 and was elected to fix problems in America, not Syria. As he acknowledged, he is now responsible for the situation in Syria. But beyond appearing decisive, it's doubtful he yet knows what to do about it.

EU proposals should be considered by the UK both as an EU member state, and in terms of their Brexit implications, the European Scrutiny Committee said.
Policies would affect the UK up to, and in some cases after, Brexit, it said.
The government has said it "will continue to negotiate, implement and apply EU legislation" until Brexit.
Prime Minister Theresa May formally began the Brexit process last week when she triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, meaning that, unless the UK and the 27 remaining EU member states agree to extend the deadline for talks, the UK will leave on 29 March 2019.
Brexit: All you need to know
Article 50: What happens next?
Is Whitehall ready for Brexit?
Until then, the committee points out, the UK continues to take its place in negotiations on EU legislation at the European Council and in the Council of Ministers.
Brexit Secretary David Davis has pledged to "exercise our influence over what we think is the best interests of the European Union until the moment we leave".
But the committee heard from the UK's former ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, who said, in the six months after the EU Referendum, he "saw a diminution of Whitehall attention and effort on day-to-day dossiers".
He also suggested that other EU member states may already be preparing for life after Brexit as new legislation goes through: "Others are, frankly, looking at opportunities in the next couple of years to land things in directives and regulation that they know are going to cause us difficulty."
The committee said all departments should consider new EU proposals both from the perspective of the UK as a member state and in terms of their Brexit implications. It said the government must give "proper priority to negotiations on existing dossiers" as well as "minimising the risk that changes to current EU law may disadvantage the UK after Brexit".
"The government may consider that there will be occasions when it feels it should vote against proposals it considers to be against the national interest, rather than allowing agreement by consensus," the committee said.
Commons Leader David Lidington warned that "an approach to negotiations on dossiers that enabled others to paint us as wreckers would not be helpful in the exit negotiations". The committee said while they would not want the UK to be seen as a "wrecker" it was "entitled to oppose [European] Commission proposals and to make their views known".
"We consider that it may now be appropriate for the government to be firm in its attitude to proposals it considers misguided and to be readier to vote against such proposals if it does not manage to negotiate satisfactory changes."
While recognising "clearly considerable" pressures in Whitehall and UKRep - the UK permanent representation to the EU - the committee raised concerns that "departments may not have been giving sufficient priority to negotiations on new and existing EU dossiers" which would continue to affect UK law until Brexit - and in areas like trade or EU energy policy, afterwards.
"It cannot start from the assumption that EU policy and legal frameworks are fixed. Rather than driving away from a fixed petrol pump, Brexit is analogous to disengaging from mid-air refuelling. Both parties are moving; the challenge is to separate them without either losing momentum."
Shadow Brexit minister Paul Blomfield accused the government of "failing to grasp and prepare for the complexity of the Brexit negotiations" adding: "The government is treating EU law and policy as fixed, when the committee is right to say it's evolving."
A government spokesman said: "We have been clear that we are a full member of the European Union until the day we leave and so we will continue to respect the rights and obligations of EU membership and engage with day-to-day EU business. "That is why ministers from across government have regularly represented the UK at EU Council meetings since last year's referendum."
The 48-year-old was taken to hospital after an altercation at The Grafton Hotel in Midland Road at 23:30 GMT on Saturday.
He died several hours later and an investigation into his death has been launched, Bedfordshire Police said.

The baby died in a maternity unit linked to the new Glasgow Royal Hospital for Children at the weekend after contracting Serratia marcescens.
The baby was premature and had "existing complex medical problems".
The bacteria are also present in five other babies in the maternity unit, and seven who have left hospital, but none is giving cause for concern.
Alan Mathers, chief of medicine for women and children's services at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC), said: "Our deepest sympathies are with the family of the baby who has so sadly passed away.
"Serratia marcescens can be naturally occurring in the gut and its presence on or in the body (colonisation) is not harmful in healthy people.
"However, given the vulnerability of premature babies, Serratia marcescens infections, where the colonised bacteria gets into the bloodstream, can occur."
Mr Mathers said that none of the five babies in the neonatal unit, who are colonised, was giving cause for concern.
He added: "Since the increase in incidence of Serratia marcescens colonisation cases was indentified as part of our routine surveillance we have been closely monitoring the situation in line with national guidance.
"Given that there are no other cases of infection and that all the appropriate infection control procedures are in place the unit will continue to admit new patients as normal.
"Our staff are in communication with the families to keep them fully informed."
NHS GGC said that it had identified a small increase in Serratia marcescens colonisation cases in July during "routine surveillance".
The neonatal unit where the baby died opened in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the former Southern General Maternity Unit.
It is now linked to the maternity unit at the Royal Hospital for Children, which is part of the £842m new "super-hospital" campus, which also includes the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
His departure is regarded as a blow to the government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
His centre-right Liberal Party (VVD) is trailing in opinion polls ahead of a general election in March.
Mr van de Steur is the third member of Mr Rutte's government to resign over the scandal.
Former Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten and his junior minister, Fred Teeven, resigned in 2015 after misleading parliament over the 2001 deal.
The affair revolves around a deal prosecutors reached with a drug trafficker, Cees Helman, worth €2m (£1.7m; $2.1m).
Mr van de Steur has been criticised for his role in answers provided to parliament over the issue.
He has denied advising certain information be withheld.
PM Rutte has also come under fire from opposition politicians.
The Freedom Party, led by anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders, is leading public opinion polls.
The Springboks star's leg was in a brace when he returned to Belfast with the Ulster squad on Sunday night.
However, Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss said on Monday scans had revealed "no damage of major proportions".
"We had really good news about Ruan earlier today," said Kiss.
"The scan just showed a couple of things that you would expect with a jar on the knee.
"We'll just need to see how the next 24 or 48 hours go and then we'll take a decision but it looks very positive."
The scrum-half, 32, will leave Ulster at the end of this season after the IRFU refused the province's request to extend his contract for another contract extension after seven years with the club.
Ulster need a victory to get their European hopes back on track after the concession of three late tries saw them losing Sunday's opener 28-13.
Kiss felt the turning point in Sunday's contest was just before half-time when prop Andrew Warwick knocked on when he seemed certain to score a second Ulster try which would have extended their lead to 15-3.
"If we put that try over the line, it's game over," added the Ulster boss.
"We've got to be a little more clinical and desperate to win those moments."
The Australian had no complaints with his team's commitment on Sunday but said the failure to clear their lines on a few occasions in the second half, when faced with Bordeaux pressure, had been punished.

"We were never going to put a big scoreline on them.
"We just gave them the access to our try-line for too long and when we tried to get out, we did it poorly a few times.
"That kept giving them a chance with their big forwards who hurt us."
Kiss knows that Ulster must regroup with a win in Saturday's second European game against Exeter to maintain realistic hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages with two games against French giants Clermont coming up later in Pool Five.
Clermont hammered the English Premiership side 35-8 at Sandy Park on Sunday as Exeter's early-season struggles continued.
Exeter reached last season's Premiership final but they have lost three of their opening six games in their domestic competition.
The 25-year-old centre-back had only scored six career league goals before joining the Pilgrims last July.
Asked if he could reach double figures, Bradley told BBC Radio Devon: "It's possible - I don't see why not.
"There are seven games to go, [so] maybe one more brace and a late one last game of the season - who knows."
Only forwards Graham Carey and Jake Jervis have scored more for League Two Plymouth, who are in second place.
All of Bradley's goals have been headers, with the winner at Doncaster on Sunday his sixth away from home.
"I don't know where the (celebration) knee slide came from. I felt my hamstring straight after it, I thought 'why have you done that'," he joked.
"It's a great feeling, and when you get that feeling you want it again, again and again.
"I think if we keep working on it and the deliveries keep coming in like they are, I see no reason why I can't score more."
In the final Old Firm match of the season Caixinha's men were dismantled by the champions, who sealed their biggest ever win at Ibrox.
"We played well but I am to blame, it is my total responsibility," Caixinha said.
"Things didn't go in the direction we were supposed to have planned so I am the man responsible."
Celtic, who have won five of the six Old Firm matches this season, with the other a 1-1 draw, took an early lead through Scott Sinclair's penalty.
Brendan Rodgers' champions were in confident mood and Leigh Griffiths doubled their lead before half time.
Callum McGregor and Dedryck Boyata extended the lead before Kenny Miller replied for Rangers, but Mikael Lustig curled in a late goal to restore the four-goal cushion.
Despite the manner of the defeat and the scoreline, Caixinha felt his side performed better than in last week's 2-0 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of the same opponents.
"The players tried to do their very best, they had a fantastic attitude and they raised their level," the Portuguese added.
"I saw more from my players this week than in last weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final defeat, the way we started the game was in that direction.
"You need to judge me all the time. From day one since I came here. I not a guy who puts the responsibility on others, I take it all the time.
"So judge me all the time. For things that are not going in the right direction I am responsible and I always will be."
The gulf between the sides was brutally evident for Rangers' fans and while Caixinha is confident of cutting the gap to their rivals, he admits major surgery is required in the summer.
"We need to make a lot of changes, we are very keen to reduce the difference," he said.
"It is possible to bridge the gap and we need to do it. That's what everyone is working hard towards."

However, South Korea's Kospi index bucked the trend, rising 0.3% to close at 2,041.88.
In the currency markets, the New Zealand dollar fell by 1% after the country reported its slowest pace of quarterly growth in two years.
New Zealand expanded by a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in the first three months of the year after a drought hit its farming sector.
The numbers were below market estimates and increased speculation that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut interest rates again next month.
Meanwhile, shares of AirAsia rose by more than 9% after the Malaysian budget carrier defended its financial and accounting practices after they were questioned by a research firm.
AirAsia's shares have fallen by about 30% after GMT Research issued a report on the company on 10 June.
A week-long curfew has been announced. Schools and many businesses are closed.
On Monday, hundreds of people set fires, looted stores and confronted police across the city.
City officials have been criticised for not responding more aggressively.
US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that the riots have unfairly overshadowed the peaceful protests about police use of force.
"There is no excuse for the kind of violence we saw yesterday," Mr. Obama said. "They are not protesters. They are not making a statement. They are stealing."
Volunteers and city workers began cleaning up affected areas on Tuesday morning. Smoke still rose from buildings set alight the night before.
Officials said about 200 people were arrested and more than 100 cars were set on fire on Monday. Fifteen buildings were destroyed.
African-American Freddie Gray, 25, died on 19 April after suffering injuries to his spinal cord and spending a week in a coma. The US justice department is investigating exactly where and when his spinal injuries were sustained.
Officials have suspended six police officers who were involved in the case.
Monday's clashes began hours after Mr Gray's funeral.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said it was very clear there was a difference between the "peaceful protests of those who seek justice" and the "thugs who want to incite violence".
National Guard commander Linda Singh said that up to 5,000 troops could be put on the streets.
"We will be out in massive force," she said, adding that armoured vehicles would be used, but the city would not be under martial law.
Extra police officers are also being drafted in from the Mid-Atlantic region.
Earlier, President Barack Obama said his administration would provide whatever assistance was needed.
Some looted and ransacked the city. Others waited for the chaos to subside - then started to rebuild.
Joseph Adeola stayed even after his store, Best Care Pharmacy, was robbed. He has invested in the neighbourhood and in the country, too. His family is from Nigeria, and he has tried to make a new life here.
Then the riots started. Looters and rioters ransacked sections of the city. Fifteen police officers were injured, and a state of emergency was declared.
National Guard officers are watching over some of the streets. They stand in a line near the harbour, chatting amongst themselves in the bright morning light.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan issued an executive order to "protect the lives and property of citizens being impacted by this public emergency".
He said calling in the National Guard was a "last resort" and that he had "not made this decision lightly".
Capt Eric Kowalczyk of Baltimore Police said the 15 officers were wounded by thrown objects including bricks and bottles. Two remain in hospital.
Police made at least 27 arrests on Monday.
A fire broke out at a newly constructed community building near a church in the east of the city.
Kevin Harris, a spokesman for the mayor, said the fire was at the Mary Harvin Transformation Centre, described online as a community-based organisation that supports young people and families.
Freddie Gray's death is the latest in a string of high-profile cases where black men have died after contact with the police.
Nationwide protests followed the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, last year.
The violence is an escalation of earlier protests. There were 34 arrests as peaceful demonstrations by about 1,200 people outside Baltimore's City Hall on Saturday afternoon got out of control.

"The engine was still running and petrol was coming out of the tank. I rang for the ambulance and fire brigade. They were here pretty quickly."
The deceased was the only person on board the single-seater ultralight aircraft, which was the subject of another AAIB investigation after its pilot was forced to land when the aircraft lost its propeller shaft during a flight in July 2013.

The stroll through 10 straight victories in Euro 2016 qualifying was commendable and offered warmth - but the cold shower inevitably came with the best opposition they have faced since that nadir in Brazil.
Spain's 2-0 win beneath the steepling stands of Alicante's Estadio Jose Rico Perez was as predictable as it was comfortable - so what can Hodgson and England take from the defeat?
England's effort can be described as "plucky" - rather in the manner of an inferior FA Cup minnow hanging on and hoping for the best against a superior opponent until resistance is eventually broken.
As far as the Fifa rankings can be taken seriously, England are ninth and many would regard that as generous given their failure at the World Cup and with a renewal built on the back of a favourable Euro 2016 draw.
In real terms, England are not a member of world football's elite and have not been for some time. They are strictly second tier.

This defeat, and the ease with which Spain inflicted it, may simply be the reality check that was always coming once England met a very good side. It was a night when their place in the game's order was emphasised.
It also put any growing optimism about England's aspirations in France next summer firmly into context. They can travel with hope but the lid should be kept on expectations.
Hodgson left captain Wayne Rooney out and the side carried an experimental air but perhaps this is simply where they currently stand, namely beneath that top level - look at how brutally Arsenal were exposed in that 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
If good can come of defeat, it was in getting a close-quarters look at the standards of possession, movement and quality England need to somehow achieve, or at least get closer to achieving, before next summer.
It was always suggested England may learn more from friendlies ahead of Euro 2016 than they would from the games that actually got them there. This was a case in point and if England take lessons away from Alicante, defeat will not have been in vain.
No-one would suggest for one minute that manager Roy Hodgson should throw caution to the wind against a team of Spain's creative talents - but this was simply too conservative, especially in a friendly.
England had hoped to hit Spain on the counter-attack but they sat too far back and it is hard to see the streetwise opponents they may meet at the sharp end of Euro 2016 being too troubled by the idea of Hodgson's side flooring them with a sudden, unexpected blow if this is their approach.
They had the appearance of a team that did not truly believe they could win, that they were naturally Spain's inferiors - an attitude even more likely to lead to defeat in a major tournament than it is in a friendly.
England do have flair and it will be a key component of Hodgson's job to harness it before next summer.
Would Hodgson "risk" Everton's gloriously gifted Ross Barkley if England were starting a Euro 2016 game tomorrow against a tournament favourite? A personal view is that he would not.
And yet Barkley was one of the England players who looked like he might flourish in the Spain side, his passing crisp and one turn and run in the first half drawing applause from the home fans.
Raheem Sterling, if he can get consistency, offers pace on the break while a defensive pairing of Chris Smalling and John Stones is young and rich in promise.
Why Hodgson did not use this partnership against Spain is a complete mystery. Manchester United's Phil Jones actually did reasonably well against Diego Costa but now is the time to be pairing Smalling and Stones against the best to bed them in, or at least discover how much they need to improve.
This was a missed opportunity on many levels.
England should have arrived in Spain with a confidence overload after their qualifying campaign and yet they were callow and timid.
Fortune favours the brave - and if Hodgson and England are not brave in France they will get nowhere.
Possession is nine tenths of the law - or so the old saying goes - and yet England remain guilty of criminal negligence when they most need to be obeying the adage.
It was infuriating, as it has been on many occasions watching England against superior opposition, squandering possession with alarming regularity. It has been one of their worst, and most lingering, flaws.
Not only is this demoralising for England but it is also tiring, making the late goals from Mario Gaspar and Santi Cazorla even more predictable.
One passage of play in the first half summed up England's predicament and its dangers. Fabian Delph, trying to find Sterling with a simple pass, over-hit it with a lack of finesse and Gerard Pique's shot was deflected just wide.
Possession is priceless at this level and this is something England do not seem to be able to come to terms with.
Spain moved the ball around at pace with precision while England laboured. Michael Carrick, celebrated for his use of the ball in possession at Manchester United, looked anonymous and horribly out of his depth - a symbol of their struggles in Alicante.
Once more, if the penny does not drop England's outside chances of making a mark in France will recede even further into the distance.
After the defeat in Alicante I took part in a Q and A on Match of the Day's Facebook page.
Here's a selection of some of the best questions and how I answered them:
Haytham Hendow: Based on tonight's performance, what is the future of the England football team, both at the Euros and next World Cup cycle?
Phil: Tough to base anything on one game Haytham, but this was a night when England were shown just how far they have to go. They cannot be regarded as serious contenders for a major tournament unless there is a dramatic, unexpected, improvement.
Paul Golding: Has there been a worse pool of players for an England manager to pick from since Graham Taylor's tenure? Could Tony Daley and Carlton Palmer make it into this team?
Phil: I think there is a decent pool of players to pick from Paul... I worry about the lack of a holding, defensive midfield player because Carrick can't have too many more chances and I hope England will be bolder than this, otherwise they have no chance in France.
Jolan Wright: Why is Fabregas turning up for Spain and not for Chelsea?
Phil: He certainly looked like a different player tonight didn't he? Maybe just a change of scenery and playing in a team that is not struggling badly.
Rick Fox: What changes to the England setup would you make?
Phil: I think Hodgson is selecting the best players available but the approach tonight was so negative. It looked as if he would have been elated with a draw. It was a friendly and while I'm not suggesting throwing caution to the wind, where was the boldness, the attacking intent? Nowhere - and that was disappointing. | The British and Irish Lions gained a confidence-boosting win as their power told against the Maori All Blacks in wet conditions in Rotorua.

England's unbeaten run stretched back 17 months to the damp day in Sao Paulo when two goals from Luis Suarez gave Uruguay victory and sent Roy Hodgson's side out of the World Cup. | 40,299,129 | 15,609 | 1,008 | true |
Graham Jenkins, who lived in Cwmafan, Port Talbot, died in his sleep aged 88 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease a number of years ago.
He was the youngest of the 13 children born to Burton's mother, Edith Jenkins. She died soon after he was born.
Mr Jenkins is survived by his wife Hilary, 86, and two sons Richard and Alun.
His funeral will be held at Margam Crematorium on Thursday.
Mr Jenkins's niece Sian Owen said: "We've had comments whether the crematorium will be big enough for the funeral.
"He was brilliant, kind hearted, a real gent."
Burton's daughter, Kate, is among those who will attend the funeral.
After the death of his mother, Mr Jenkins was brought up by one of his brothers, while Richard, who was the 12th-born child, was raised by his sister.
Mr Jenkins had worked as a market inspector in Port Talbot, manager of Afan Lido, and latterly as a sports organiser for the BBC in London.
He had also lived in Guernsey before moving back to south Wales.
On a local website, Mr Jenkins recalled competing against his famous brother in the Eisteddfod: "Rich won, even though I was told I had the sweeter voice, however Rich had the stage presence.
"I cried over this and Rich kindly shared his winnings with me. "
He also wrote that he acted as a stage double for Burton, adding, "at one time I had to kiss Elizabeth Taylor".
Burton, who was famously married twice to film star Taylor, died in 1984.
The 29-year-old surprisingly announced his retirement from cricket on Monday to take up a job in property finance.
Mommsen had latterly led the side, having played for the national team since 2010.
"I found myself not playing enough and felt that stunted our development," Mommsen told BBC Radio Scotland.
"The cricketing landscape is such that the opportunities have been quite limited in the last 12 months."
Scotland last played in September and had 19 scheduled matches across all competitions in 2016 - less than half that of England.
Mommsen believes more must be done to enhance cricket for those countries outside the Test arena.
"It is a slight concern," he said. "I think the ICC has made efforts to address this. I know recently we just won some funding.
"It needs a lot more collective effort from the member countries around the world to make sure that the game does continue to grow globally.
"We've made some fantastic strides in recent times and there's no reason why we can't keep growing as a national side."
Cricket Scotland declined to comment.
Former Leicestershire batsmen Mommsen was named associate cricketer of the year in 2014 and was the first Scotland captain to lead his side to victory at a global event, beating Hong Kong at this year's ICC World Twenty20.
"It is disappointing to be leaving," he said. "You could argue that, at 29, you're coming into the prime of your career. On one hand, I guess it is bitter-sweet for me.
"I know I could've given a lot more to the game and I would've loved to have given a lot more but I need to keep one eye on my second career, post-cricket."
Graham Smith admitted he was reckless, but the pain had made him desperate.
"There was a bit of blood and it stung a bit but I was confident in what I was doing," said Mr Smith, of Lancashire.
Aintree Hospital, Liverpool, where he underwent the original surgery, said he had been booked in for a consultation on Monday and it would contact him.
The suture was left in Mr Smith's abdomen during a bowel operation 15 years ago, but he did not bring it to the attention of the hospital until 2011, having noticed a length of the stitches protruding through his skin.
The hospital said a consultation had been cancelled.
"I tried to do it through the normal channels... but I had septicaemia," Mr Smith said.
"I didn't make the decision lightly - I was desperate, but I had to take control of it and I was not prepared to sit and die on a waiting list.
"I'm a specialist engineer. I do jobs people can't do, but I'm not a surgeon so don't try this at at home."
The tools he developed were adapted from titanium instruments given to him by a friend who is a dentist.
"I needed to modify them to undo some of the stitches - basically one of the stitches is what's called a surgeon's knot," Mr Smith said.
"It was a small lump of nylon protruding from my abdomen. It was only 8mm long with 12 really tight compressed knots.
"I couldn't just cut it off as it might have retracted and I would have been in real trouble so I had to undo these knots one by one and I had to make a few tools to allow me to do this."
Mr Smith added: "I'm a new man. For 15 years I have been hunched over and leaning to the left."
In a statement, the hospital said that before he operated on himself, Mr Smith was informed he could have an appointment with the original surgeon on Monday.
Asked about the advisability of Mr Smith's DIY surgery, the hospital trust responded: "We would always advise that any patient who has concerns such as these seeks clinical advice.
"We will be in touch with Mr Smith to discuss his care."
A spokesman for the Royal College of Surgeons said they would "strongly advise" against anyone performing a surgical procedure on themselves, or someone else.
"If you do try to perform self-surgery without surgical training, there is a high risk that the procedure could go wrong, or damage another part of the body. There is also a possibility of infection."
Tom Watson MP wants Daniel Morgan's murder in 1987 to be examined by the Leveson inquiry into media standards.
The case against four men charged with murder collapsed in March 2010.
The Leveson inquiry was told a senior officer on the case was placed under surveillance by the News of the World.
Mr Morgan, 37, originally from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, was found with an axe in his head in a south London pub car park in 1987.
The murder has been investigated on five separate occasions but no-one has ever been convicted.
Until his death Mr Morgan worked with Jonathan Rees, whose company Southern Investigations has been linked to alleged email hacking.
Mr Rees was one of five men accused of murdering Mr Morgan in 2008, but after almost two years of legal wrangling, the trial collapsed in March 2010 when "supergrass" evidence was deemed to be unreliable.
Mr Morgan's brother Alastair told BBC Radio Wales a judicial inquiry would help answer some of the family's questions about police failings over the case.
He said: "The police and the Crown Prosecution Service have told us there is no realistic possibility of anyone being convicted of Daniel's murder.
"We've been expressing concern over a number of the investigations over many many years, so the only way forward we can now see is a judicial inquiry.
"Six years ago they [police] reopened the investigation when we were calling for a judicial inquiry at that point.
"We were extremely sceptical about the possibilities of a conviction but our hopes were raised and ultimately dashed."
The murder of Mr Morgan was raised at the Leveson inquiry into media standards and ethics on Tuesday in evidence from former Metropolitan Police detective and BBC Crimewatch presenter Jacqui Hames.
She told the inquiry that she and her husband, Det Chief Supt Dave Cook, were placed under surveillance by the News of the World after he appeared on Crimewatch seeking information about Mr Morgan's murder.
Ms Hames told the inquiry that Southern Investigations had "close links" to Alex Marunchak, the newspaper's crime editor in the late 1980s.
In a statement, she said: "I believe that the real reason for the News of the World placing us under surveillance was that suspects in the Daniel Morgan murder inquiry were using their association with a powerful and well-resourced newspaper to try to intimidate us and so attempt to subvert the investigation."
Alastair Morgan said his family believed they too had been placed under surveillance following a critical development in the case in 1998.
"I was living in Scotland at the time, my partner was doing a journalism course in Scotland, my mother was in Wales, my sister was in Germany, and over the same weekend we all noticed very strange activities around our homes," he said.
"My mother was photographed, my sister was photographed.
"Last year I wrote to [News International chairman] James Murdoch asking him to investigate this. I haven't even received a reply to my letter."
News International said it had "no comment" to make on Ms Hames's statement to the Leveson inquiry.
MP Tom Watson will raise the issue of Mr Morgan's murder in an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Last August he called for an investigation into alleged links between Jonathan Rees and Mr Marunchak, believing they could shed some light on the unsolved crime.
At that time, Mr Marunchak denied having any contact with Daniel Morgan and all allegations of wrongdoing.
The British singer was speaking after the UK came 24th in this year's contest - the latest in a long run of poor Eurovision results for the country.
Young found fame when he won the UK's first Pop Idol competition in 2002.
Guy Sebastian, who won the first Australian Idol the following year, finished fifth in Saturday's contest in Vienna.
Asked if he would contemplate following suit, Young told BBC Breakfast: "No, I don't think so because it's going to be a bit of a poisoned chalice."
He added: "I don't want to do it. Please don't make me do it."
Meanwhile, Olly Murs, another TV talent show graduate, has ruled himself out after being tipped as a "perfect" contender by BBC Three Eurovision presenter Scott Mills.
"No, I wouldn't do Eurovision," Murs told Digital Spy. "I think it's always something I've found... new artists normally do it."
It's "not for me", he added.
The UK has only finished in the top 10 once since Jemini's infamous "nul points" of 2003. In 2009, Jade Ewan finished fifth with Andrew Lloyd Webber's song It's My Time.
As a result, it has proved difficult to attract top talent to the contest, with many record companies wary of the negative publicity resulting from a low placing.
Recent entrants have either been unsigned artists or classic acts such as Engelbert Humperdinck and Bonnie Tyler, whose reputations are assured.
The 2015 entry, Electro Velvet, consisted of Alex Larke, the singer in a Rolling Stones tribute band, and Bianca Nicholas, a former contestant on The Voice.
Their song, Still In Love With You, was submitted to the BBC as part of an open call to songwriters, with the final selection made by a "panel of experts".
It scored just five points.
The BBC last allowed the public to choose the Eurovision entrant in 2010, when an unknown singer called Josh Dubovie was sent to Oslo with a mid-tempo, Steps-lite song called That Sounds Good To Me.
The Essex-born singer came last, prompting the BBC to select the 2011 contestant internally. Boy band Blue subsequently came 11th with the ballad I Can.
A study by Eurovision fan site ESC Insight suggests that songs selected by committee tend to fare slightly better than those chosen in a televised vote. However, the difference is marginal.
It is not yet known how the BBC will approach the 2016 contest.
Trey Parker told The Los Angeles Times the show had fallen into the "trap" of mocking the US president in its episodes every week.
"We're becoming: 'Tune in to see what we're going to say about Trump.' Matt [Stone, co-creator] and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow," he said.
Parker added he and Stone want the show, which has been running for 20 years, to return to its roots.
He said the series should stick to the "bread and butter" of "kids being kids and being ridiculous and outrageous".
Recently, the show has seen teacher Mr Garrison campaign for president on the basis he would build a wall to keep out Canadians - a reference to the wall President Trump wants to build on the Mexican border.
Parker said: "We probably could put up billboards - 'Look what we're going to do to Trump next week!' - and get crazy ratings. But I just don't care."
"We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like, 'Dude, we're just becoming CNN now'."
CNN has been critical of Mr Trump since he was elected in November 2016.
Parker also said the US president is using the tools of a comedian to drive his support.
"The things that we do - being outrageous and taking things to the extreme to get a reaction out of people - he's using those tools. At his rallies he gets people laughing and whooping," Parker said.
"I don't think he's good at it. But it obviously sells - it made him president."
Donald Trump Jr responded to the interview on Instagram, writing: "Hahahahaha... South Park will lay off the Trump jokes to avoid becoming CNN... Amazing. This made my day."

In a joint venture between Bangor and a Chinese university, Bangor College will open its doors to 200 students in Changsha City, Hunan Province, in September.
It will offer courses in accounting, banking, finance and electronic engineering.
Staff will include lecturers from Bangor University and courses will be taught in English.
Students can study in Bangor, Gwynedd, for up to two years if they choose, or complete all their work in China.
The aim is to provide "a UK-style higher education experience" to undergraduates, and it is hoped to expand the range of courses in the future, as well as increasing the number of students to 2,000.
Prof John G. Hughes, Bangor University vice-chancellor, said: "This is a historic agreement for both institutions.
"It brings the excellent quality of higher education provided by Bangor University closer to students in China and also provides exciting opportunities for Bangor's students and academics to experience an exchange of learning and ideas in China."
The new college is a joint venture between Bangor University and the Central South University of Forestry and Technology (CSUFT), in China, and a signing ceremony was held in Bangor on Tuesday.
Xianyan Zhou, CSUFT president, said it was the result "of the successful co-operation between both institutions over the past four years".
"There has to come a point at which you say: 'Enough'," Mr Obama said.
Mr Trump has been sharply criticised for attacking the parents of a fallen US soldier who spoke out against him.
He has also been condemned for backing the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Mr Obama said he had had policy differences with previous Republican presidents and candidates - but added that he had never thought they could not function as president.
Barack Obama has been steadily upping the pressure on Donald Trump's Republican Party supporters. Last week, at the Democratic National Convention, the president said he didn't think the nominee was within the mainstream of modern conservativism.
On Tuesday he called into question Mr Trump's fitness to hold the presidency - his sharpest words so far - and questioned why the party leaders continue to stand by their man.
Those comments take dead aim at Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain, who all have issued statements distancing themselves from Mr Trump's recent feud with the parents of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq.
The irony, of course, is that Mr Obama's remarks likely make it more difficult for the party's top men to renounce their standard-bearer, lest they appear to be caving to their Democratic nemesis.
Instead, the squeeze will continue - and grow more politically intolerable with each new Trump controversy.
At last week's Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan - a Muslim whose son was killed serving in the US military in Iraq - criticised Mr Trump's plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the US.
Mr Trump responded by attacking the "Gold Star" family, the term for families that have lost a close relative in war. Democratic and Republican leaders as well as veterans' groups quickly condemned him.

How the ordinary can shake up politics
"The Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president and he keeps on proving it," Mr Obama said on Tuesday. "The notion that he would attack a Gold Star family that made such extraordinary sacrifices... means that he is woefully unprepared to do this job."
Mr Trump released a statement on Tuesday afternoon responding to "President Obama's failed leadership" but did not directly address the president's criticisms.
"Our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores," Mr Trump said.
Mr Obama also took to task Republican leaders who have frequently clashed with Mr Trump over this statements and policies about women, undocumented immigrants and Muslims.
"What does this say about your party that this is your standard bearer?" Mr Obama asked Republicans. "This isn't a situation where you have an episodic gaffe, this is daily and weekly where they are distancing themselves from statements he's making."
Top Republican leaders such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have been highly critical of Mr Trump, but the billionaire has retained their support.
On Tuesday, New York Representative Richard Hanna became the first Republican member of Congress to publicly say he would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Mr Hanna said Mr Trump's comments about the Khan family were the deciding factor.
Until recently, many Republicans opposed to Mr Trump had stopped short of supporting Mrs Clinton, saying they would vote for a third party or write-in candidate.
The UK network said only a small proportion of its 30 million subscribers had been affected.
The Down Detector site indicated the problem peaked on Tuesday afternoon, with customers in different parts of the country reporting issues.
EE said the problem had now been fixed. About 1,000 subscribers contacted the company to complain.
Many more may have been affected, but not everyone would have noticed the issue.
"Data services were affected for a small number of customers after one of our data centres experienced a power cut yesterday afternoon caused by a third party," said a spokesman.
"We immediately re-routed traffic to minimise disruption, and service was restored within a few hours.
"If any customers are still experiencing connection issues, they should switch their device off and on, or enable and disable Airplane Mode to resolve the issue.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
The Met Office said showers will fall as rain, sleet and hail at low levels, but as snow over hills, where several centimetres of snow may accumulate.
The warning is valid until 10:00 GMT on Tuesday.
Motorists have been warned to expect "difficult driving conditions". It comes just days after Wales was battered by 94mph winds.
A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in state media that the movie's release would be an "act of war".
He did not mention the title, but a Hollywood movie called The Interview with a similar plot is due in October.
Hollywood actors James Franco and Seth Rogen star in the action-comedy film.
Rogen, who is also one of the directors of The Interview, has since responded on Twitter saying: "People don't usually wanna kill me for one of my movies until after they've paid 12 bucks for it."
Franco and Rogen play a talkshow host and his producer who are invited to interview Kim Jong-un, and are subsequently recruited by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate the leader.
The film's teaser trailer, posted on Youtube, shows a lookalike actor playing Kim Jong-un, as well as fight scenes involving what appear to be North Korean tanks and helicopters, and a nuclear missile launch.
The North Korea spokesman was quoted by the state KCNA news agency as saying: "Making and releasing a movie on a plot to hurt our top-level leadership is the most blatant act of terrorism and war and will absolutely not be tolerated."
He added that the "reckless US provocative insanity" of mobilising a "gangster filmmaker" to challenge the North's leadership was triggering "a gust of hatred and rage" among North Korean people and soldiers.
"If the US administration allows and defends the showing of the film, a merciless counter-measure will be taken," the spokesman was quoted as saying.
Apparent evidence emerged last week supporting claims that North Korea is further developing its missile technology. Some experts said they had identified a new anti-ship cruise missile shown in a North Korean propaganda film. Other observers were more sceptical.
North Korea is holding three Americans in custody. The latest to be detained is said to be a tourist named Jeffrey Edward Fowle who reportedly left a Bible at a hotel.
Rogen recently said he was inspired by journalists' trips to North Korea.
He told Yahoo: "People have the hypothetical discussion about how journalists have access to the world's most dangerous people, and they hypothetically would be in a good situation to assassinate them."
He added that the film was originally about meeting Kim Jong-il, but they had to revise the script when he died in 2011 and his son Kim Jong-un took power.
David Smith, 51, of Belmont Close in Hassocks, West Sussex, was sentenced to 14 months in prison by the judge at Lewes Crown Court on Tuesday.
Middlewick House flats and the nearby area was cordoned off and a bomb disposal team was called after the discovery in January.
The road was evacuated for most of the day, Sussex Police said.
Smith was found guilty of making an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose and possessing an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose.
Police say the man, identified as Piero Parolari, works as a doctor in a hospital run by Christian missionaries.
He was attacked while cycling after morning prayers in north-west Dinajpur district, reports say. His condition is said to be serious but stable.
No group has said it carried out the attack, the third on foreigners in Bangladesh in under two months.
An Italian aid worker was killed in September and a Japanese citizen in October.
Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic State group but the government blamed the killings on local militants.
"Riding a motorcycle, unidentified attackers shot an Italian near the Dinajpur bus station in the morning," police told AFP news agency. The assailants escaped.
A local auto rickshaw driver told Reuters: "No one was attending to him, so with the help of two other people I rushed him to the hospital."
Mr Parolari is a 78-year-old doctor and has lived and worked in Bangladesh for 25 years, reports the bdnews24.com website.
Attacks on foreigners in Bangladesh are rare, but Islamist violence has surged recently.
Extremists have carried out a series of high-profile attacks on secular writers, hacking to death four bloggers - one a US citizen - so far this year.
A 24 October bomb attack on Shia Muslims in Dhaka killed one person and wounded at least 80 others.
The 33-year-old Canadian, who played for the Nottingham Panthers between his spells with Belfast, finished superbly for the final goal in Altrincham.
Darryl Lloyd had put the Giants into the lead with Mathew Sisca equalising.
Adam Keefe restored the visitors' advantage and Lloyd scored again to make it 3-1 for Derrick Walser's side.
The Giants are on the road again on Sunday night when they face the Sheffield Steelers.
The medical charity said the patients had arrived in three hospitals in the Damascus area on 21 August - when opposition activists say chemical attacks were launched against rebels.
But MSF says it cannot "scientifically confirm" the use of chemical weapons.
Both sides in the conflict accuse each other of using them.
MSF says staff at the hospitals described a large number of patients arriving in the space of less than three hours with symptoms including convulsions, dilated pupils and breathing problems.
It said many were treated with atropine, a drug administered to those with "neurotoxic symptoms".
"MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack," said MSF Director of Operations Bart Janssens.
But it added that the symptoms, as well as the "massive influx of patients in a short period of time" strongly suggest mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent.
"This would constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, which absolutely prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons," MSF said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights - a British-based group that monitors the conflict - estimated that 322 had died, 54 of them children.
In the immediate aftermath, casualty figures varied widely with opposition activists saying between several hundred and more than 1,000 had been killed.
Correspondents say MSF's statement adds to mounting allegations that chemical weapons were used in suburbs to the east of Damascus and in an area to the south-west on 21 August.
Unverified video footage posted soon afterwards shows civilians, many of them children, dead or suffering from what appear to be horrific symptoms consistent with a chemical attack.
Rebels and opposition activists accuse forces supporting President Bashar al-Assad of carrying out such attacks.
But state TV accuses the rebels, saying barrels of chemical weapons were found as troops entered previously rebel-held districts.
The international community is split on the issue. Russia and Iran, both allies of Damascus, have separately accused the rebels of using chemical weapons.
But France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Saturday that all available information indicates that the government of Bashar al-Assad was responsible.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has also said he believes this was "a chemical attack by the Assad regime".
In phone call on Saturday, US President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron reaffirmed their "grave concern about the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime against civilians near Damascus on Wednesday", the White House said.
The two leaders agreed to continue consulting closely on the incident and on possible responses by the international community to the use of such weapons, it added.
The UN disarmament chief Angela Kane has meanwhile arrived in Damascus to press the Syrian government to allow access to the sites of the alleged attacks.
A team of UN weapons inspectors has been in Syria since 18 August to inspect three sites, but Damascus has not yet said whether it will allow them to expand their visit.
The UN says more than 100,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Assad began more than two years ago.
Junior Dian, 24, died in hospital after his heart stopped while he was playing for Tonbridge Angels on 7 July.
Double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes was at the team's ground in Kent to support the screening programme.
"Some people have an underlying defect that they are are not aware of, and screening is very important," she said.
"You think you're young, you're healthy, you're fit - yet you're collapsing or dying of a heart problem."
About 200 people will be screened this weekend, with hundreds more expected to attend sessions in Gillingham and Sevenoaks in the coming months.
The Football Fightback screening campaign was spearheaded by Jim Maddams, whose 17-year-old son Jack, who also played for Tonbridge, died eight years ago.
"My son was young and in peak fitness but he went to bed one night and didn't wake up," he said.
"He had an electrical condition in his heart he didn't know about we and he passed away in his sleep.
"We don't want tragedies like this to happen to anyone else."
One of the players screened and given a clean bill of health was James Folkes, who was playing in the game against Whyteleafe in Surrey when his friend Mr Dian collapsed in the non-league pre-season game.
"It was very frightening because before the game he said he felt good," he said.
"It was a big shock that something like that could happen."

This was famously shown by psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s.
In the new study, subjects in pairs were paid to deliver mild electric shocks to one another.
If they were instructed to administer the shocks, they sensed more of a delay before the jolt was delivered, compared to when they made their own decisions.
Researchers regard this timing judgment as an indicator of how responsible we feel for our actions.
When we switch on a light, for example, we know we are in control and we usually perceive the effect as instantaneous, even if there is a lag.
By contrast, the new findings suggest that if we are following orders, that joined-up perception drifts a little and our sense of "agency" is genuinely reduced.
"A useful marker of the sense of agency... is the subjective compression of the interval between what I do - and what I make happen," said Patrick Haggard, senior author of the study, which appears in Current Biology.
"Most previous work had been based on just asking people whether they felt responsible; that's a little bit tricky, because people tend to report what they think they should say."
He and his colleagues wanted to test whether being bossed around produces a real, measurable change in how people perceive their own actions.
What is the psychological underpinning, if any, for the claims of Nazi defendants at the Nuremberg trials that they took no responsibility because they had orders to follow?
It was in the wake of those trials that Dr Milgram's experiments achieved notoriety. Volunteers obediently ramped up the shocks they were giving to a "learner" in an adjoining room - actually an actor - whom they could hear protesting and, eventually, in obvious distress.
Those findings were taken as a powerful illustration of our propensity to decouple ourselves from our choices, if someone else - in that case, a commanding man in a white coat - is giving the orders.
They are a touchstone of psychology courses worldwide and were the subject of a recent film.
"Milgram's interest was really focused on whether people will obey an instruction or not. But he did not really focus on what it feels like when people do follow instructions," Prof Haggard, from University College London, told BBC News.
In Prof Haggard's key experiment, subjects could choose to give their co-participant a "painful but tolerable" electric shock - or not - by pressing one of two keys.
Each shock would add 5p to their fee for taking part, and each pair took turns so that both subjects knew exactly what the shocks felt like.
"Pressing either key on the keyboard produces a tone, and the participant's task is to report, in milliseconds, how long they think the interval between the key-press and the tone was," Prof Haggard explained.
That interval, in reality, varied randomly between 200, 500 and 800 milliseconds.
"That gives us our implicit measure of sense of agency."
Crucially, a scientist was also in the room and for half the trials, she firmly told the participants which key to press.
"The interesting result is that people perceive the interval between the action and the tone as longer, in the condition where they've been given a coercive instruction, than in the condition where they decide for themselves what to do," said Prof Haggard.
"Coercion produces some subjective experience of distancing. Instructions really can change the way we feel about what we're doing."
The team also recorded brain activity during some of the experiments, using electrodes on the top of the scalp (an electroencephalogram or EEG).
These measurements revealed subtle differences between how the brain responded to the sound of the tone, depending on whether the subject had been ordered to act or not.
"We take this as showing that coercion has a surprisingly powerful effect on the brain, reducing the extent to which the brain processes the consequences of our actions," said Prof Haggard.
Dr Molly Crockett is a social neuroscientist at the University of Oxford. She said the new findings were interesting and novel - particularly because previous studies of coercion had largely relied on people self-reporting their feelings of responsibility.
"You can imagine that explicitly, if someone wants people to think they're a better person, they would report, 'Oh yeah, I totally didn't feel responsible when someone asked me to do this bad thing,'" Dr Crockett said.
"But on this implicit measure, which people are unlikely to be able to manipulate, you still see a signature of reduced agency - which is really cool."
Asked about the implications of his findings, Prof Haggard said there was no reason to give any credibility to the so-called "Nuremberg defence".
"We always need to be sceptical of that defence - of somebody who says, I was only obeying orders," he said.
"Because very often, people have a secondary motive for saying that. They think they can avoid punishment.
"Secondly, just because somebody feels they are not responsible, doesn't mean they are not responsible. Society might still want to hold them accountable."
Instead, he suggested, the results emphasise the power - and the responsibility - of those who are giving orders.
"I think we need to hold people who give orders even more accountable. Because the people who execute those orders may not feel as responsible as one might like."

Eligible devices include tablets and PCs running Windows 7 or newer.
Microsoft has been criticised for heavy-handed tactics in promoting the upgrade.
In May, the software giant was accused of a "nasty trick" when it changed the pop-up box encouraging users to upgrade so that clicking to shut it down meant the upgrade was scheduled rather than rejected.
A Californian woman successfully sued the firm after she claimed that an automatic Windows 10 update left her computer unusable.
In June, Microsoft said that is was going to offer "clearer options" for users considering the upgrade.
To date, around 300 million devices worldwide have upgraded to, or are using, Windows 10.
Most experts agree that upgrading should bring benefits to users.
Windows 10 offers access to Cortana, Microsoft's virtual assistant - the first major operating system to offer this feature.
The virtual assistant can find restaurants and create calendar events and also syncs with the Cortana app on any phone.
The system is designed to look the same on laptops, phones and tablets, and has a new browser called Edge.
Most agree that the operating system is easier to use and a vast improvement on Windows 8, which was heavily criticised.
It has the same tile-based system used by Windows phones - and reintroduces the Start Menu, which was missing from the previous operating system.
The update requires quite a bit of free disc space to install, so some may need to uninstall space-hogging programs.
Microsoft has published a list of the most common upgrade and installation issues and advice to try to fix the problem.
Annette Jump, an analyst with research firm Gartner, said there were pros and cons to upgrading.
"Consumers can continue to stay current on Windows going forward, as Microsoft is looking to deliver Windows more as a service in future,"
She also listed improved security as a reason to upgrade but warned it may not be worth it for all: "If you have an old PC - older than three years - you will likely have very low specs on the device and will not be able to benefit from many new features."
Reports by Syrian state media and an opposition monitoring body spoke of hundreds of people being killed and abducted.
However the activists told the BBC there had been no killings or abductions on a large scale.
The IS attack took place on a government-held area on Saturday.
The focus of the reports is the village of Baghiliya, on the north-western outskirts of Deir al-Zour.
Large parts of the city have been besieged by IS for the past year.
At least 135 people were killed in the attack on Deir al-Zour, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights - the biggest organisation tracking developments on the ground - reported earlier.
Syrian state media put the toll even higher, saying about 300 civilians had died.
One activist told BBC regional analyst Sebastian Usher that IS went into Baghiliya - an area of farms - with lists of pro-government fighters.
Around 20 were arrested and some killed, he said.
Some families were rounded up by IS and taken away to another area.
However this was not on anything like the scale suggested by the Observatory of 400 family members being abducted.
Syrian government forces backed by Russian airstrikes are reported ot have mounted a counter-offensive.
The UN recently warned of "sharply deteriorating" conditions in parts of Deir al-Zour, one of a number of towns under siege as a result of Syria's five-year civil war.
What's happening in Syria?
More than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in almost five years of conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a brutal civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State.
Why are civilians under siege?
All parties to the conflict are using siege warfare, encircling populated areas, preventing civilians from leaving and blocking humanitarian access in an attempt to force opponents to surrender. Shortages of food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel have led to malnutrition and deaths among vulnerable groups.
Where are the sieges?
Government forces are besieging various locations in the eastern Ghouta area, outside Damascus, as well as the capital's western suburb of Darayya and the nearby mountain towns of Zabadani and Madaya. Rebel forces have encircled the villages of Foah and Kefraya in the northern province of Idlib, while IS militants are besieging government-held areas in the eastern city of Deir al-Zour.

All over Europe, refugees and other migrants continue to pour over the borders.
Hungary declared a new record of more than 10,000 people arriving in one 24-hour period.
Austrian officials say they are swamped by asylum applications. There are calls for a parliamentary debate on "Austria in a State of Emergency".
So what progress - if any - did EU leaders make at their summit in Brussels on Wednesday night?
That depends on what you believe the true aims were of the official host, European Council President Donald Tusk, and the de facto shepherdess of the meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Did they solve Europe's migrant crisis in an evening? No.
Did they cool frayed tempers and focus minds? Yes.
Is that enough? Clearly not.
Is it in any way significant? It is.
EU summit official statement
How is crisis dividing EU countries?
Has Merkel's strategy played into hands of French far right?
As Mr Tusk publicly pointed out, Europe has lost control of its external borders and millions, not thousands, of refugees and others in search of a better life are interested in crossing them.
Nothing can be achieved while EU prime ministers and heads of state exchange insults, threats and unilaterally slam national borders shut.
Breaking bread, sitting down for a meal together, is a time-honoured way for feuding family members to put their differences aside - for a moment at least - and remember that they are supposed to be united.
The whispered pre-summit instruction in everyone's ear had been, "Play nice!"
And certainly the tone, in front of the cameras at least, was markedly more conciliatory when EU leaders arrived for their "informal dinner".
UK Prime Minister David Cameron spoke of a comprehensive approach; Viktor Orban, the normally fiery Hungarian leader told me everyone had to co-operate and Angela Merkel insisted, "What we cannot say is Europe cannot deal with this. I say it again and again, we WILL do this!"
EU leaders do actually agree on a number of key issues:
But common resolve is one thing. Effective, immediate action is quite another.
And some of the leaders' goals are more realistic than others.
At a press conference after the summit, the German chancellor spoke of the need to talk to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad as part of a new European push for peace in his country.
The conflict has now reached Europe, and Germany in particular. It is the European country of choice for Syrian refugees.
In the past, Germany has joined other Western leaders in calling for President Assad to step aside. So these talks would be delicate and controversial, they will not happen overnight and their chances of success are limited, to say the least.
Then there's the question of building what is often dubbed Fortress Europe - or what Donald Tusk described last night as "closing Europe's doors and windows".
In other words, stopping the mass flow of refugees and other migrants in to Europe.
Throwing aid money at refugee camps in the Middle East is unlikely to stop people coming.
It is not, in the end, a question of better food and blankets.
Syrian refugees yearn for the safety and security they believe Europe provides. That is why so many risk their and their children's lives to get here.
Turkey is the main departure point for Syrians trying to move to Germany and EU leaders agreed last night that better relations with Ankara was key.
Currently, ties between Turkey and the EU are strained.
Amongst other things, Turkey tried desperately to woo the EU for years in the hope of joining the club, only to be repeatedly rebuffed.
Now, courting the Turkish government and persuading it to clamp down on migrants heading for Europe is likely to be complicated and costly. And not just in terms of money.
For a start, Turkey wants EU and US support for a buffer and no-fly zone in northern Syria by the Turkish border.
Better securing Europe's own borders is another vexed question.
As a stopgap measure Hungary has angered many of its European partners by building razor wire fences and legalising the use of rubber bullets, tear gas and imprisonment to deter migrants.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is looking at forming a pan-European frontier agency, but that would mean countries like Italy and Greece losing national sovereignty over their borders, effectively handing them over to Brussels.
They are not overly keen on that idea.
Greece is already smarting from the terms of its financial bailout agreement, policed by Brussels.
Despite honourable intentions, in terms of taking action to make an immediate difference on the ground, last night's summit was a miserable failure.
In the anxiousness to avoid a punch-up there was also one screaming omission from the leaders' debate: what to do with the spiralling number of refugees and other migrants already in Europe?
The avoidance of the topic was all the more glaring as the summit came hot on the heels of EU interior ministers forcing through a quota system for 120,000 asylum seekers, despite angry protests from Central and Eastern European countries.
Its idea of a permanent quota system, with numbers automatically divided more equally across the continent, remains deeply unpopular in many countries.
But Europe cannot hide from the issue. Unaddressed, it will test relations between EU countries to breaking point.
The 51-year-old was last seen leaving his home in the Powys town of Talgarth for a run on Tuesday at 09:00 GMT.
Mountain rescue teams, firefighters, police and a drone searched for Mr Skeen, who had recently moved to the area from Bristol.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the body has not yet been formally identified.
"But family (of Mr Skeen) have been made aware of the development," a spokesman added.
Former colleagues of Mr Skeen, who had worked for South Western Ambulance Service, had volunteered to help Longtown Mountain Rescue Team search the Talgarth area on Saturday.
The burst on Friday is affecting 50,000 customers in counties Louth and Meath.
Irish Water has said it could be the weekend before supply returns to normal. It is liaising with Defence Forces to provide alternative supplies.
Northern Ireland Water dispatched tankers on Monday evening to help transport water to those affected.
Speaking to RTÉ, Irish Water managing director Jerry Grant said the complexity of the piping meant it had not been possible to carry out the repairs in the normal timeframe.
In a statement on Monday, the company said it hoped to complete the repair by Thursday.
It added that when the water main is repaired it could take a number of days before full supply is restored.
Water rationing is in place but Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda has been prioritised in order to maintain supply to patients.
Temporary water stations have been set up as shops have been running low on bottled water.
The burst main is located over four metres underground.
It is linked to the Staleen Water Treatment Plant, which supplies drinking water to Drogheda and its surrounding areas.
Irish Water said the burst main was 50 years old and warped.
The mayor of Drogheda, Labour councillor Pio Smith, said Irish Water must plan for future problems.
Speaking to the BBC's Good Morning Ulster, Mr Smith said it was known that the pipes needed to be replaced.
"They had a burst last year as well," he said.
"So even fixing this now on Thursday, I don't necessarily think that it's going to be the end of the problem."
Mr Smith also said he had asked Irish Water to meet with politicians from the affected areas.
"At that meeting we'll be asking questions in relation to what happened, was the contingency plan they had envisaged suitable for what happened and what the future holds."
In order to manage the remaining water, a programme of rationing will continue in the affected areas.
A rolling schedule of supply re-commenced for parts of Drogheda at 09:00 local time on Tuesday.
Thirty-three tankers have now been deployed to replenish temporary water stations.
Irish Water said there are 86 stationary water containers in place across counties Louth and Meath. Eight thousand 5 and 10 litre foldable water containers will be distributed throughout the affected areas.
In a statement, NI Water said it was happy to assist Irish Water.
"Over the last number of years NI Water has worked with other utilities to identify ways in which we could provide mutual support and aid during periods of severe weather or other unforeseen situations," NI Water said.
"This agreement has worked very well in the past and can be a great help to a company when they need it most."
The rationing plan for Tuesday can be found on the Louth County Council website.
Consumers have been asked to bring clean containers and to boil water taken from these stations before use, as a precaution.
But the venue made perfect sense to Irish singer and songwriter, Andy Irvine.
His career has spanned five decades, and as a member of the folk band Planxty he achieved widespread success in the 1970s alongside Christy Moore, Dónal Lunny and Liam O'Flynn.
Since then he has travelled the world, a troubadour of traditional music, playing the mandola, bouzouki and harmonica.
His new solo album, Abocurragh, reflects his globetrotting experiences.
"It was made mainly in Dublin but a lot of people were recorded in Hungary, in Norway, Australia. The album had been around the world before it came out," he said.
The album is named after a townland about eight miles from Enniskillen, although his home is actually in the adjoining townland, Ballysooragh.
"I didn't think Ballysooragh was a great name for an album," Andy explained, "so Abocurragh looked much more attractive and there's about three houses up there too."
To launch his new album, he has returned to his home on County Fermanagh.
He has shunned the glitzy hotels and city-based celebrities and chosen instead to perform in a hay shed.
The idea for the "Silo Pit Session" came from Andy's landlady Janie Crone who owns the farm with her husband John.
The family has been busy transforming the farmyard into Northern Ireland's newest music venue.
She said: "We would normally round bale but we've actually square baled so seating is bales of hay.
"You can see we've just used bales of hay along the back of the silo pit and covered it in black stuff to try and make it look at least more like a stage."
What will the acoustics be like in the barn which is more used to the sound of bleating lambs?
"It's a tin roof so it has been very tinny but we've had some good advice," said Mrs Crone.
"As soon as the hay came in, it acts like furnishings in a house so that kind of echo sound has gone so we're hoping for the best. We just don't need rain on the tin roof!"
The venue is perfect for Andy Irvine as it is a short walk from his house.
"Sitting on bales of hay it will be very rural and it's just next door to me, so if I get tired I can go and have a lie down between songs," he added.
Several hundred people arrived for the gig and made themselves comfortable on the bales of hay.
It was an intimate performance of songs from the new album and from Andy Irvine's 45 year musical career.
It may have been a bit cold, but the acoustics were excellent and, to Mrs Crone's relief, there was no rain falling upon the tin roof.
Adrian Ismay, 52, was seriously hurt after a booby-trap device exploded under his van in Belfast on 4 March.
It is understood he died from a heart attack after being rushed back to hospital on Tuesday morning.
Chief Constable George Hamilton said police would have to wait for medical evidence before confirming if his death would be treated as murder.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out on Wednesday and Det Ch Insp Richard Campbell, the senior investigating officer in the case, said the results would inform the course of his inquiry.
"I think we need to be careful and see where the evidence takes us in this investigation," he added.
A dissident republican group widely referred to as the new IRA said it carried out the attack.
The organisation said Mr Ismay was targeted for training officers at Maghaberry Prison near Lisburn, County Antrim.
Well-placed prison sources said some dissident republicans in the prison celebrated the news of Mr Ismay's death, taunting prison officers by smoking cigars in the exercise yard of their wing.
Mr Ismay, a father-of-three, was discharged from hospital a week ago and police said his injuries were not as serious as first thought.
On Tuesday, Det Ch Insp Campbell said Mr Ismay's death had come as a "real shock to the investigation team, but much more so to Adrian's family and friends".
The detective appealed for information on two cars that police believe may have been used by the bombers.
"The first one is a red Citroen C3, registration SKZ 6662, which I believe was used by those planting the device at Hillsborough Drive [at about 02:20 GMT on] Friday 4 March," Det Ch Insp Campbell said.
"The second vehicle is a silver Skoda Fabia, KFZ 2352, which I believe was used before and after the incident by those involved."
He said police understood that a man was dropped off from the Skoda in Pilot Street, near Belfast docks, at about 03:00 GMT on the morning of the bombing.
Both cars were seized by officers immediately after the attack.
Police have asked the public for help in tracing the movements of the vehicles before the explosion.
Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster said she was "personally devastated" by Mr Ismay's death.
She tweeted: "Can't believe the news. I was texting Adrian before we left for the US. He was doing well. My thoughts are with his family."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said those who had targeted the officer had no support for their actions.
Justice Minister David Ford and Sue McAllister, the director general of the Northern Ireland Prison Service, paid tribute to Mr Ismay.
"Adrian Ismay gave over 28 years of service to prisons in Northern Ireland and he was greatly respected by all those who knew him," they said in a joint statement.
It was understood the prison officer worked at Hydebank Wood young offenders' centre in Belfast.
A man appeared in court last week charged with attempted murder in connection with the bomb attack.
It follows a referendum in 2014 in which voters narrowly backed introducing quotas on workers from EU countries.
The measure makes no mention of quotas but sets out guidelines for employers.
The new law was a compromise which sought not to antagonise the EU, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.
Although Switzerland is not a member of the EU, it enjoys access to the free trade area.
Brussels had said the imposition of quotas would violate the bilateral agreements over free movement of people which are a condition of access to the single market.
But it offered a cautious welcome to the bill on Friday, with European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas telling reporters: "At first glance, the law really seems to go in the right direction."
Brexit fuels Swiss anxiety over new deal with EU
The compromise bill angered the conservative Swiss People's Party (SVP), which wants specific caps on immigration. Its deputies held up posters with slogans complaining that "mass immigration continues!" following the vote.
Not necessarily, writes Imogen Foulkes. The referendum in 2014 called for quotas. This bill is a very long way from that - all it does is ask employers to consider jobseekers already in Switzerland, and even then only if unemployment in certain sectors or regions is much higher than the national average.
The SVP argues this is a betrayal of voters' wishes, but at the same time the party is not threatening a referendum to block the new law. That's because the original majority in favour of quotas was tiny, and in the years since it took place immigration to Switzerland has stabilised, even fallen somewhat.
What's more the Swiss are determined not to lose access to the single market, and Brussels has made it clear that imposing quotas could cause that. Even the suggestion of quotas had consequences - Switzerland was thrown out of various Europe wide research and exchange programmes as soon as the 2014 vote result came in.
So a new referendum starting the whole worrying debate all over again is unlikely to find favour.
BUT, if Switzerland's booming economy falters, if unemployment and immigration rise, it is likely the Swiss People's Party will seize the opportunity, and go back to the voters again, this time with a demand not for quotas, but to get out of free movement of people altogether.
Right across Europe the issue of free movement of people is under scrutiny, our correspondent says.
Immigration was a key factor in Britain's vote to leave the EU. Everyone wants to know just how much wiggle room there is in Brussels' oft-repeated dictum that free trade and free movement go together, and that countries (EU member or not) cannot have one without the other.
The Swiss proposal is very modest and would be unlikely to satisfy those voters in the UK who want complete control of the borders. On the other hand millions of EU and Swiss citizens now live and work outside their own home countries. Hundreds of thousands of Germans, French, Swiss, Austrians and Italians commute daily across borders to go to work.
They are used to the freedom to look for jobs across the continent, and any move that might curtail that freedom, even the Swiss compromise, may meet opposition.
The stadium and training facilities would be built at Kingsford, close to the Aberdeen bypass, near Westhill.
The ground would have a capacity of 20,000. The club believes the new stadium is vital if it is to achieve a sustainable future.
However, there has been some protest. Opponents are to deliver information packs to local residents.
In July last year, the Say No To Kingsford Stadium group vowed to continue its campaign despite saying it was facing online abuse.
Aberdeen FC said the club condemned any such abuse.
The Dons had been considering a relocation to Loirston, to the south of Aberdeen, but the proposal was marred by planning difficulties.
Chairman Stewart Milne has described Kingsford as "an ideal location for supporters".
St Richard's Hospital, in Chichester, is using local anaesthetic, instead of general anaesthetic and morphine during surgery.
Hospital staff say that some patients who have had full hip replacements are up and walking within hours.
Time spent in hospital has fallen from seven days to less than four.
The patient is injected with local anaesthetic into their back and affected joint.
Dr Cathryn Eitel, consultant anaesthetist, said: "Patients can expect to be up and about the day they have the surgery.
"They will all be able to eat and drink on the day of their surgery and they will no longer have to have fluids attached to them."
The operation takes an hour-and-a-half, during which the patient is awake, though can be sedated to make them feel "woozy".
Mark White, senior physiotherapist, said the surgery had been a "big change".
"People are feeling less dizzy, less nauseous and having less pain," he said.
St Richard's said other hospitals around the country have also stopped using morphine, but it is the first to develop a specialist system involving operating staff, physios and recovery nurses in the procedure.
Paul Scott, 63, of Wickenfields, Ware, arranged for groups of men to visit a house to rape a young boy on many occasions.
Judge Stuart Bridge told him Luton Crown Court had heard an account that was "depraved and harrowing".
He said: "You were cold, callous and calculating."
Judge Bridge added: "Some of the men involved finally told you it had to stop and called you a monster. They were absolutely right."
The boy told investigators he had been given something to make him sleepy before the abuse took place.
Scott had pleaded not guilty to seven charges involving the rape of a child under 13. He was found guilty of six of them after a trial in October.
He pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Marion Smullen, for the defence, said Scott had been on remand at HMP Bedford when riots broke out, and his wing had been targeted by rioters.
She told the court: "Obviously he is going to prison for a very lengthy time and it will not be a soft option for him."
During the trial the jury heard the offences spanned a number of years, possibly as many as three, ending in 2009.
They came to light when the boy made a complaint earlier this year.
After the case, Det Sgt Colin Nelson said Scott "showed no remorse for this horrific and vile sex abuse".
Scott had been jailed in 2011 to three years and nine months in prison for making, possessing and distributing images of child abuse.
Beijing's defence budget has risen each year for two decades to become the world's second-biggest, behind the US.
It is developing an aircraft carrier, a stealth fighter jet, and missiles that can shoot down satellites.
The US promised to bolster its presence in the region last year, in a move seen as countering China's dominance.
Washington, which spends about $740bn on defence each year, already has bases housing thousands of American troops across the region.
The BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing says Chinese officials remain wary about growing American influence in the region, and believe Washington wants to encircle China.
China's emerging military might has especially worried its near neighbours.
China has long-running territorial disputes with Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, and has also positioned hundreds of missiles for a potential attack on Taiwan, which it views as part of its territory.

The world's military balance
Announcing the new budget, Li Zhaoxing, an official with China's parliament, sought to calm concerns over the spending programme.
"China is committed to the path of peaceful development and follows a national defence policy that is defensive in nature," he said.
"China has 1.3 billion people, a large territory and long coastline, but our defence spending is relatively low compared with other major countries."
As a proportion of its GDP, China's official military budget is far lower than either the US or the UK.
But foreign experts have estimated that Beijing's actual military spending could be as much as double the official budget.
During 2011, China carried out its first test flight of a stealth fighter jet, and the first sea trial of its aircraft carrier.
Both pieces of equipment remain years away from active deployment.
Beijing is also building new submarines and ships, and developing a range of anti-ship ballistic missiles.
The armed forces, known as the People's Liberation Army, boasts more than two million personnel - the biggest military in the world.
The international team compared DNA from 1,400 people with bacterial meningitis and 6,000 healthy individuals, Nature Genetics reports.
They found differences in a family of genes involved in the immune response seem to make people more or less susceptible to the infection.
It is hoped the findings will lead to the development of new vaccines.
The researchers were looking at meningitis caused by the Neisseria meningitidis bacterium, which leads to swelling of the lining of the brain and blood poisoning.
It is not the first time researchers have attempted to find out if some people are more likely to catch meningitis because of their genetic make-up.
But results have previously been unclear, probably because of the small number of people studied.
In the latest study, researchers first scanned the whole genetic code of 475 British patients with meningococcal disease and 4,700 healthy individuals.
They found a clear difference in a small set of genes known to be involved in the immune system response.
When they looked again in two other European populations they found the same result.
The genetic differences found means that, in some people, the bacteria is able to evade the immune system and cause infection, while other people' immune systems are better equipped to fight it off.
The genes encode for a protein called factor H, and factor H related proteins.
Where there are flaws, the meningococcal bacteria is able to bind to these proteins to prevent the immune system from recognising it - almost like a Trojan horse - enabling it to get a foothold.
Study author Professor Michael Levin, an expert in international child health at Imperial College London, said the findings would be particularly useful in developing a vaccine against meningitis B, which is now responsible for most cases in the UK.
There is already an effective vaccine against meningitis C.
"It seems that the genetic differences in factor H between people is what determines susceptibility or resistance.
"It suggests it may be an important protein to include in vaccines, and factor H is already one of the candidates for meningitis B vaccine."
He said the results will also help scientists better tailor vaccines to be effective in the whole population.
It may also open up avenues for improving treatment once people have bacterial meningitis, he said.
Sue Davie, chief executive of the Meningitis Trust, said: "This exciting work has thrown new light on factors that play a part in determining why some people get meningococcal disease and others do not.
"Further work will be needed to establish just what the genetic differences are in the genes which actually cause this susceptibility to invasive infection, but this is a promising start."
At a news conference in the Russian republic of Dagestan, where she now lives, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said America had taken her children away from her.
She also reiterated she was sure her sons were not involved in the attack.
It is being reported that her elder son was added to a terrorism database 18 months ago at the CIA's request.
Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded when two devices exploded at the Boston marathon on 15 April.
"I would prefer not to have lived in America. Why did I go there?" Mrs Tsarnaeva said at Thursday's news conference in Makhachkala, Dagestan.
By Steve RosenbergBBC News, Makhachkala
The parents of the two suspected Boston bombers remain convinced that their children are innocent and that they have - for some unknown reason - been framed. The news conference was a chaotic and emotional affair. Zubeidat Tsarnaeva descended into tears as she said she was "sure" her children were not involved.
She dismissed the evidence presented so far and denied that her youngest son Dzhokar had told investigators anything. Mrs Tsarnaeva also spoke about an Armenian man called Misha, a convert to Islam who became a family friend back in 2007.
She said her elder son Tamerlan had "respected him very much" for his adherence to Islam. But she denied their son had become radicalised after his six month visit in Dagestan last year, saying she saw no change in him on his return.
"I thought America would protect us. America took my kids away from me... I'm sure my kids were not involved in anything."
Her elder son, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed a few days after the bombing during a shootout with police.
His younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was captured and charged in connection with the attack.
The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, has said he will travel to the US on Thursday or Friday. The family wants to take the dead son's body back to Russia.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva has said she is still undecided whether to go, AP news agency reports, because she was charged with shoplifting in the US last year and fears arrest if she returns.
In questioning from his hospital bedside, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being treated for gunshot wounds, he has reportedly said he and his brother were angry about the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2012, his older brother spent six months with relatives in Dagestan, which has an Islamist militant insurgency.
But congressmen said on Wednesday after closed-door briefings that the brothers are not believed to have had direct contact with a militant organisation.
In other developments:
Meanwhile, there are questions as to whether the authorities did enough to prevent the bombings.
US media report that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was added in 2011 to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (Tide), at the request of the CIA.
The database contains as many as 745,000 entries; individuals on that list are not necessarily on the so-called terrorist watch list.
The FBI investigated after Russian authorities alerted US counterparts to the activities of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, saying he had become a follower of radical Islam.
About six months before the CIA requested his name be added to Tide, the FBI asked the Russians for more information about the elder brother but received none, and closed its investigation.
US officials said earlier that their intelligence community had no information about threats to the marathon ahead of last week's attacks.
After a classified briefing at the House intelligence committee on Wednesday, Democratic Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger said he believed the FBI was not at fault. | The last surviving brother of the late Hollywood actor Richard Burton has died, his family has confirmed.

In the Lotto ad, people were asked where they would go on a getaway if they won a large sum of money, with Gina Parkin then making the comment.
After apologising for the off-the-cuff remark, she was invited to see what the Lincolnshire seaside town had to offer.
After an extensive tour, Ms Parkin described it as "the best of British".
On her only previous trip, she said the town's nightlife had been "a bit too boozy and raucous for my liking".
Town mayor Danny Brookes accompanied Ms Parkin, her boyfriend and a group of friends as they ticked off some of Skegness's top attractions.
The 40-year-old from Leeds said: "I've had an absolutely amazing weekend, they did everything to try and win me over and they have.
"It was all first class; we were treated like royalty and everyone was so lovely and just super friendly."
Ms Parkin recently returned from 18 months of travelling the world, visiting 21 countries, but said feeding the tigers at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park rivalled the best things she had experienced on the trip.
She said: "When I got back from travelling I had a renewed sense of respect for Britain in general, it was like I was seeing everything again with new eyes.
"I felt a bit bad; Skegness is a beautiful, traditional seaside town with its bright colours, deck chairs - it's the best of British, we should be very proud of it."
The Lonely Planet travel guide described the resort as "the ABC of the English seaside - amusements, bingo and candy-floss, and added that "culture vultures will probably run a mile".

The Ocean Full Of Bowling Balls, Paula and Birthday had previously only been available to read at two American university libraries.
The first title, in particular, is of importance, as it inspired elements of The Catcher In The Rye.
A scanned copy of the stories was uploaded to a file-sharing website this week, and rapidly spread online.
The collection, titled Three Stories, features a plain black cover, and also contains a letter from Salinger to his publisher Little, Brown and Company, discussing proof copies of his works.
David Ulin, a book critic with the Los Angeles Times, said that at least two of the stories in the collection were "the real deal".
"I've never read The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls," he wrote. "It's part of a collection of Salinger material at the Princeton University Library and available only to scholars who are supervised as they read.
"I have read the other two stories, however, at the University of Texas' Ransom Center, and the versions of them in Three Stories are the real deal."
"The Ransom Center is relatively free with its manuscripts; visitors can even have photocopies made, although they are prohibited from circulating the work.
"It's more difficult to imagine how a manuscript was copied from the Princeton Library, but in this digital age, I have little doubt that it could be done."
Salinger's only published novel, The Catcher In The Rye is a tale of teenage angst which has gone on to become one of the most influential American novels of the modern era, selling more than 65 million copies.
The Ocean Full Of Bowling Balls is a prequel to the story of its idealistic outcast, Holden Caulfield, and recounts the death of his younger brother Kenneth - renamed Allie in the subsequent novel
It was originally scheduled to appear in Harper's Bazaar, but Salinger withdrew it before publication.
Following the success of Catcher In The Rye, Salinger released a collection of short stories and several novellas but stopped publishing in 1965 and withdrew from public view - although it is believed he continued to work.
Living in New Hampshire, he protected his privacy fiercely until his death in 2010, aged 91.
In 1982, he sued to halt the publication of a fictitious interview with a major magazine.
And in 2009, he took court action to stop the US publication of a novel by Swedish writer Fredrik Colting that presented Holden Caulfield as an old man.
In his final interview, given in 1980, he said: "There's a marvellous peace in not publishing.
"When you publish, the world thinks you owe something. If you don't publish, they don't know what you're doing. You can keep it for yourself."
He had given instructions that his unpublished stories should not be seen for 50 years after he died.
However, a documentary released earlier this year claimed five works would be made available between 2015 and 2020 - among them The Last And The Best Of The Peter Pans, a sequel to Catcher In The Rye.
The appearance of Three Stories was first mentioned on discussion site Reddit, and later reported by Buzzfeed - but the provenance of the collection is unclear.
A paperback version was recently sold on auction website eBay, and is thought to be one of 25 copies printed privately in Britain in 1999.
However, the version that was shared online has a different cover to the one listed on eBay.
The user who distributed the scan, on invitation only file-sharing site what.cd, wrote an anonymous message saying they would "confirm and, with that, take responsibility to the claim that these are accurate to the originals".
"It took me many weeks of research to find that this book existed, and many more weeks to acquire it," the anonymous user added. | Three short stories by JD Salinger, which the reclusive author did not want published, have been leaked online. | 25,150,548 | 853 | 27 | false |

The former Tory prime minister said the debate should not be on whether money is spent on aid - but how it is spent.
Mr Cameron made the comments in an article for the Guardian, in which he revealed he is to chair a high-profile commission on overseas development.
The group will research fragile and conflict situations globally.
Spending on foreign aid rose to about £12bn when Mr Cameron was prime minister, and, writing in the Guardian, he said: "My view is clear: aid works."
International Development Secretary Priti Patel has warned that major multinational aid funding may be cut unless it provides better value for money, although the government remains committed to the 0.7% target.
To address concerns about value for money in aid spending at a time of austerity, ministers want to spend more of the money not only relieving poverty but also promoting Britain's strategic interests.
'Mass migration'
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale said this £700m "empowerment fund" could be used by the Foreign Office and other departments to help developing countries counter the threat of Islamic extremism or the clout of Russia.
In his article, Mr Cameron said that between 2011 and 2015, Britain had helped vaccinate 67 million children, saving at least 1.2 million lives from diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea.
"Such financial help doesn't benefit just the countries that receive that aid: money spent on international development is an investment in our own security," he said.
"Because if we don't tackle poverty abroad, the results are visited upon us at home.
"Mass migration, epidemics such as Ebola, climate change and pollution - none of these things respect national borders."
Mr Cameron, who stepped down as prime minister after the UK voted to leave the EU last summer, said he had decided to become unpaid chairman of the new Commission on State Fragility, Growth and Development, with Oxford University and the London School of Economics, to research what made a state fragile.
"As prime minister, I made sure that half Britain's aid spending went to the most fragile states," he said.
"Today, state failure is increasing and nearly half the world's poor people will soon live in fragile states and regions."
'Soft power'
His commission, which will be co-chaired by Donald Kaberuka, the special envoy of the African Union Peace Fund, and Adnan Khan, the International Growth Centre's research and policy director, will be joined by eight commissioners from around the world to address what makes states fragile and keeps them that way.
The group will take evidence from witnesses ranging from military commanders in Afghanistan to aid workers in Syria, in the hope of "generating the most cutting-edge recommendations that governments, donors and NGOs (non government organisations) can put into practice".
This includes looking at the role small, medium and big companies can play - and how governments can create a tax base so they can pay for their own development.
"From defeating fascism and communism to spending 0.7% of our national income on aid - the only major economy to do so - Britain has always led the way when it comes to making this a safer, fairer, more prosperous world," Mr Cameron said. | David Cameron has defended his decision to spend 0.7% of national income on overseas aid as prime minister, calling it "an investment in our own security". | 39,139,434 | 714 | 32 | false |
Researchers from the UK, Germany and Austria studied the northern bald ibis, tracking precisely how this species - like many large birds - maintains a "V" formation when migrating.
They found that birds took it in turns to take the very energy-depleting lead.
This allowed every bird to take advantage of extra lift produced by by the wings of the bird in front.
The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Lead researcher Bernhard Voelkl from the University of Oxford's department of zoology told BBC News that he wanted to know how the birds worked together to deal with the "very high cost" of migration.
"These birds go from Austria to Italy - a journey of 1,500km (930 miles)," he explained. "Mortality is really high - 30% of juveniles don't survive the first migration."
The researchers were able to track each bird in a flock, thanks to a unique conservation project by the Waldrappteam in Austria, which has raised northern bald ibises, and trained them to migrate behind a microlight aircraft.
The aim of this unusual project is to bring the northern bald ibis back to Europe; the birds were wiped out by hunting, so the team is retraining the birds to navigate a migration route that has now been lost.
Data loggers containing GPS-based tracking devices, that the team fitted to each bird, meant the scientists could track their exact positions.
Careful analysis of how and where the birds shifted position as they flew, showed that birds were working in pairs, repeatedly swapping around between follower and leader.
"What we saw was that, for each bird, there's a very clear correlation between the time it spent in front, and the amount of time it followed another bird," said Dr Voelkl.
"So the time bird A is in front of bird B correlates almost exactly with the amount of time it's the other way around; they're taking it in turns."
The researchers had expected that the birds would be co-operating in some way, but were surprised that the pattern was so clear and that the mechanism was so simple.
"It's crucial because these migrations are very tough for the birds," said Dr Voelkl. "And by reducing the amount of energy they use, they can really increase their [chance of] survival.
"They don't have to watch all the other birds in the flock - they just have to match to one other bird, so it's very simple, but also robust."
Dr Voelkl thinks this "pairwise matching" as he refers to it, is likely to be used by many more bird species that undertake exhausting annual journeys.

A key part of the Children and Social Work Bill is being axed after Lord Laming, who chaired the Victoria Climbie inquiry, joined a campaign against it.
He met Education Secretary Justine Greening to oppose the changes.
Labour had described the plan as a "dangerous proposal".
The legal duties in question were laid down in several acts of Parliament and related to nearly all the social care services children receive from local authorities
They cover statutory rights on child protection, family support, rights in children's homes and fostering, support to care leavers and services for disabled children, among other areas.
The idea was that councils could have applied to set aside specific rights in order to try out new ways of working.
And this sparked concerns that child protection services could become open to privatisation.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We have listened to concerns raised about introducing the power to innovate, which would have meant councils could test new approaches in order to support the country's most vulnerable children.
"In recognition of this we are not taking forward that particular aspect of the bill."
An amendment, tabled by Labour and backed by Ms Greening, will be added to the bill in the report stage.
Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: "It is an unprecedented climbdown for the secretary of state to sign Labour amendments removing the flagship policy from her own bill just days before the Commons could debate it."
She said Ms Greening had been "reduced to sneaking out this humiliating announcement in the middle of the night in the hope that no-one will notice."
Earlier, amendments made in the Lords, stripping out clauses of the bill related to innovation, were taken out in the Commons.
The change of heart followed a meeting between Ms Greening and Lord Laming, the former Lord Chancellor, Lord MacKay, and the chief social worker, Isabelle Trowler, among others.
About 50 organisations publicly opposed the proposed exemptions - including the British Association of Social Workers, The Care Leavers' Association, Women's Aid, Liberty and the National Association of People Abused in Childhood.
Carolyne Willow, director of Article 39 - a group formed to oppose the bill - said it was an enormous relief that legal protection for vulnerable children and young people would stay intact across the country.
"I hope children and young people get to hear that so many care leavers, parents, carers, social workers, academics, children's homes, parliamentarians, lawyers, paediatricians, charities, trade unions and campaigners fought for their rights for months, and that ministers admitted a mistake and did right by them."
After talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jeddah, they pledged to provide military support and humanitarian aid, and to halt the flow of funds and foreign fighters to IS.
Mr Kerry told the BBC they were "full-throatedly ready" to combat the group.
However, Russia warned the US against expanding its campaign of air strikes from Iraq into neighbouring Syria.
The Russian foreign ministry said any such action, without the backing of the UN Security Council, would be "an act of aggression" and a "gross violation" of international law.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama set out his plans to "destroy and degrade" IS and revealed that he had authorised air strikes in Syria.
Mr Kerry has been tasked with building a broad coalition against IS, also known as Isis or Isil.
On Thursday, ministers representing Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates offered their support.
A joint communique declared a "shared commitment to stand united against the threat posed by all terrorism".
It added that participants had "discussed a strategy to destroy Isil wherever it is, including in both Iraq and Syria".
"The region recognises the danger that has been unleashed and they are full-throatedly ready to deal with that and that is why they committed today to take the actions they have committed to," Mr Kerry told the BBC.
Nato member Turkey was also at the Jeddah meeting, but did not sign the communique. Mr Kerry downplayed the move, saying the important US ally was dealing with some "sensitive issues" but remained "very engaged and has been very involved".
Analysis: Barbara Plett-Usher, BBC News, travelling with John Kerry
John Kerry was exhausted by his marathon day of meetings but pleased at its result: the Arabs' embrace of Barack Obama's strategy to combat Islamic State. It's crucial to the plan that Arab governments see this as much their war as America's.
Not everything went according to script. Turkey didn't sign the communique - because of "sensitive issues", said Mr Kerry, presumably the 49 Turkish hostages held by the militants - but was "very engaged". The Saudi foreign minister seems not to have heard that his country agreed to host the training of Syrian rebels as leaked by US officials.
But Mr Kerry was focused on the big picture: the region has recognised the danger in its midst and is ready to join the fight against it, he said; military officials will sort out of the details of who does what.
Turkey has reportedly been reluctant to take a prominent role in the coalition, partly out of concern for the 49 Turkish citizens being held hostage by IS.
Mr Kerry also rejected accusations that President Obama is responsible for the rise of IS because he failed to take action against the group earlier in the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"I think over time people will realise the outgrowth of this is really the responsibility of Assad himself," he said. "He has been the magnet that attracted foreign fighters."
Mr Obama has asked the US Congress to approve a bill seeking $500m (£308m) to fund an increase in the training and arming of "moderate" Syrian rebels so that they can take the fight to the jihadist group.
The Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, has given his support to the move, telling reporters: "At this point in time, it's important to give the president what he asked for."
In Iraq, the US has carried out more than 150 air strikes against IS.
On Thursday, aircraft attacked jihadist positions near the strategically important Mosul Dam in support of Iraqi security forces. The Pentagon said two machine-gun emplacements and a bunker were destroyed.
The US has also sent hundreds of military advisers to assist Iraqi government and Kurdish forces, but has ruled out sending ground troops.

888,246 poppies have been planted by people at the Tower since July this year, including politicians and members of the Royal family.
The exhibition was created by artist Paul Cummins and was created as part of the build up to Armistice day, to help remember those who fought in World War One.
Each ceramic poppy represents the life of a British or colonial soldier who died fighting in the Great War.
Martin went to visit the exhibition and find out why it has been so popular.
Ex- Saints player Tim Sparv gave Danish visitors FC Midtjylland the lead with a low strike just before the break.
Southampton improved after the restart and Rodriguez netted from the penalty spot after Kian Hansen tripped James Ward-Prowse.
Maya Yoshida had a header tipped on to the post by Johan Dahlin late on.
And the Midtjylland keeper saved a header from Steven Caulker, who also had a goal ruled out for a push, as the Danes ensured they go into the return leg in a strong position.
That takes place in Denmark next Thursday - with the winners progressing to the group stage.
Ronald Koeman's team breezed past Vitesse Arnhem 5-0 on aggregate in the third qualifying round but FC Midtjylland presented more of an attacking threat.
Goalscorer Sparv was a Southampton academy graduate and played in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final alongside Theo Walcott.
The Finnish defensive midfielder never made a senior appearance before his departure to Swedish side Halmstad in 2007.
But that did not prevent him from refusing to celebrate as his left-foot effort crept past Maarten Stekelenburg into the bottom corner.
Former Burnley striker Rodriguez was among four changes from the side which lost 3-0 against Everton in the Premier League.
Rodriguez ruptured his anterior cruciate knee ligament in April 2014 and only returned to training in May but managed to send the keeper the wrong way as he finally found the net again.
"I've been waiting for it," said Rodriguez afterwards. "I want to score as many goals as possible so it's good to get the first one."
Clearly still finding fitness after a return from a long-term injury, he was replaced by Shane Long with 15 minutes remaining and could be rotated when Saints travel to Watford in the Premier League on Sunday.
Saints striker Sadio Mane has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford - but he started against Midtjylland.
And after the game boss Koeman was adamant that there will be no more departures from the club before the transfer window shuts on 2 September.
"There will be no more players sold this summer," said the Dutch boss, who has seen Morgan Schneiderlin and Nathaniel Clyne leave the club this summer.
"There's no bid for any player. Not for Sadio Mane, not for Victor Wanyama.
"Write what you want to about the rumours, nobody is going to leave Southampton."
For Danish champions FC Midtjylland the tie represented a second chance to progress in Europe this season having already been knocked out of the Champions League third qualifying round by Apoel Nicosia.
The Danes have earned themselves a reputation as the "Moneyballers" with majority shareholder Matthew Benham instrumental behind the use of analytics and specialist coaching to drive the Wolves from the Jutland peninsula forward.
Benham, chairman of Championship club Brentford, has brought the same philosophy to the Bees and was partly behind his decision to part ways with manager Mark Warburton last season in favour of Dutchman Marinus Dijkhuisen.
A number of Brentford shirts were visible among the small travelling contingent of 190 supporters with tickets for the tie, which were available to buy on Brentford's website.
Despite the midfielder being substituted in the closing minutes as Koeman brought on Juanmi in search of a winner, the England Under-21 midfielder played a pivotal role throughout.
His combination with Graziano Pelle forced the penalty while his delivery from set pieces also created Southampton's best chances on the night.
He must feel he has staked a claim for a more regular starting berth.
Christopher Gorman, 54, had been keeping the animals in his back yard.
He was also found guilty of leaving the dogs in an unsuitable environment where they were living among excrement. Gorman was reported to the Scottish SPCA by concerned buyers.
Sentence at Airdrie Sheriff Court was deferred.
Sheriff Derek O'Carroll said Gorman had refused to accept responsibility "for any and every shortcoming in care for the dogs which he was responsible for".
He said: "Many dogs, including puppies, had suffered unnecessarily some to a great extent and that was wrong and that was illegal."
He said one dog had suffered so badly it had to be put down.
Sheriff O'Carroll described the offences as so serious that a jail sentence was a possibility.
The Crown said Gorman had assets of more than £1.2m.
A Scottish SPCA inspector told BBC Scotland Gorman had been operating an "unlicensed pet shop"
He said: "This was not just someone failing to look after an animal, this was someone who had in excess of 40 dogs and pups of high value in his back garden.
"He gave them absolutely no regard for their welfare."
He said the dogs were given no veterinary treatment despite obvious health issues, including injuries from fights with other dogs and viruses such as Conjunctivitis.
The animal welfare charity said it had cost in excess of £100,000 to look after the dogs since they were removed from Gorman's home.
Outbound coach Luis Enrique watched his Barca run Celta ragged with great interplay in attack and high pressing.
Messi made it 1-0 when he ran 45 yards and slotted in, before Neymar scored with a superb dinked finish.
Barca increased their lead with strikes from Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti before another solo effort from Messi.
Relive the Barcelona's brilliant display at the Nou Camp
It was a performance which Barca are renowned for but one that has been rarely seen this season. If they produce a similar display against Paris St-Germain on Wednesday then they have a great chance of overturning what seems an insurmountable 4-0 deficit.
Messi sent Barcelona on their way in the 24th minute.
The Argentine's turn as he set off for goal was reminiscent of countryman Diego Maradona's when he scored that dazzling solo goal against England at World Cup '86. Messi had fewer defenders to navigate past, with Gustavo Cabral and Sergi Gomez failing to dislodge the ball from the diminutive forward before he fired past Sergio Alvarez.
Neymar then produced the best finish of the night when he converted Messi's through-ball with the deftest of touches.
Rakitic slotted in the third in the 57th minute when Rafinha's heavy touch in the area fell into his path before defender Umtiti grabbed his first in Barcelona colours with a poked finish from Messi's square ball.
The Barcelona magician then capped of a great night for both himself and his team when he cut inside from the right and sold a dummy before firing in through the legs of Facundo Roncaglia.
Enrique's side lead by a point from Real Madrid, who defeated Eibar 4-1 earlier on Saturday. Real also have a game in hand on their bitter rivals.

Ahmet Yasar, the businessman who posted the image, told the BBC it was taken within the last four weeks by a friend who works as an airline captain.
Mr Yasar said the falcons were flying to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia for what is thought to be a hunting trip.
"The picture was taken on board an Airbus flying from an unknown origin to Saudi Arabia," Mr Yasar told the BBC.
"It is quite common for airlines in the Middle East to transport birds for hunting purposes. In this case each falcon is estimated to be worth about $8,000 (£6,435)," the Turkey-based businessman said.
"The picture I posted has gone viral attracting interest from all over the world," he said. "It is thought the birds were to be used to hunt geese."
Mr Yasar said the airline captain who took the picture did not want to be named.
The popularity of hunting in the Middle East was clearly seen in December 2015, when gunmen kidnapped at least 27 Qatari hunters - including members of the ruling family - in a desert area of Iraq near the Saudi border.
Iraq - like Saudi Arabia - is one of several countries frequented by wealthy practitioners of the ancient sport of falconry as they search for prey that either does not exist in their own countries or which has been almost hunted to extinction there.
Their favoured prey is the Asian houbara bustard, akin to a small turkey, and to find it and other similar species, Gulf hunters often travel to Morocco, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
BBC Nature - Birds of prey
How a shy but beautiful bird became a foreign policy issue
They take with them their prized falcons, typically peregrines, sakers and lanners, which are expertly trained to home in on their quarry at high speed.
Falconry was an important skill for Bedouin hunters in the harsh deserts of Arabia and Syria and has been around for thousands of years.
It is the latest stage of reforms begun when President Raul Castro took over from his brother, Fidel in 2008.
Raul Castro has been trying to stimulate Cuba's stagnant economy but has faced resistance from Cuban Communist Party hardliners.
With the restoration of relations with the US last year, Cuba is also opening up to foreign investment.
The government currently allows self-employment in several hundred job categories from restaurant owners to hairdressers.
The Cuban economy has been stimulated by many of these becoming small businesses and employing other workers.
The latest reforms were published in a 32-page document detailing the party's plan for economic development, and approved by Congress.
It did not specify what the new status for "private businesses of medium, small and micro size" would entail.
Neither did it mention if businesses would be given additional rights such as the ability to import supplies or export products.
But analysts say the new status is a sign of the government's recognition that private enterprises will have a significant role in the future, although the main means of production could remain in the hands of the state.
The man, who is yet to be formally identified, was found at a house on Weelsby Street, Grimsby, shortly before 05:00 GMT on Sunday.
The 50-year-old was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.
The three men, aged 53, 42 and 24, were released on bail pending further inquiries.
Humberside Police said its investigation was continuing and the force expects to release the identity of the dead man later in the week once his family, who live overseas, have arrived back in the country.
Operating profit rose from £1.3bn to £1.5bn while sales increased by £1.3bn to £17.9bn.
Sales were helped by the delivery of Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.
The company's chief executive, Ian King, said the group was well placed to continue to generate attractive returns for shareholders as "defence budgets recover".
In recent years, the company has seen a squeeze on defence spending.
BAE is also expanding into provision of cyber security for major corporations, including banks and telecoms.
BAE's cyber and intelligence division consists of the US-based Intelligence & Security and Applied Intelligence in the UK. Overall the division's sales increased by 3% to £1.8bn.
Applied Intelligence saw sales rise by 31%, 13% of which was as a result of the acquisition of cyber security company SilverSky, with the rest coming mainly from commercial customers in the UK.
BAE predicts sales will continue to go up as cyber security becomes increasingly important for both governments and commercial organisations.
In its statement BAE said it had delivered another year of "solid performance" and "resilience in markets constrained by wider economic pressures".
It highlighted, in particular, the increased Typhoon deliveries to Saudi Arabia, plus sales from the trading of equipment on the European Typhoon programme, as well as more naval business.
In the UK, BAE said government commitments to "protect defence and security spend, in a still tightly constrained UK economic environment, were helpful".
As part of its Strategic Defence and Security Review in November 2015, the government said it would continue to invest in expanding the capabilities of BAE's Typhoon fighter jets and extend the aircraft's service life until at least 2040.
And in the US, the government announced plans to increase spending on defence in both 2016 and 2017 and BAE says it expects to benefit from that.
"Defence markets have been tough for years, but may now see some improvement as austerity eases, says Steve Clayton, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"Defence companies will never be redundant, we fear, but we may be at an inflection point, where their traditional weapon platforms, tanks, jets, subs and missiles, are less important than data processing and surveillance capabilities.
"Cyber security, both national and commercial is an area BAE is keen to grow, but it is not yet big enough in the business to drive the overall group forward on its own," he adds.
Earlier this week, BAE announced the appointment of Charles Woodburn to the newly created role of chief operating officer, with the expectation that he would take over as chief executive in about 18 months.
Shares in BAE closed up 1.14% on Thursday.
Southampton Itchen candidate Kim Rose said he had used the passage from the Nazi leader's autobiography in reference to an "undemocratic" EU.
Mr Rose was previously questioned by police for providing sausage rolls at a campaign event.
He said he saw Europe "turning into exactly what Hitler wanted in 1942" under the EU.
Mr Rose used a quote while speaking during the election event, held at Southampton's Asda superstore.
It read: "The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions.
"In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."
Mr Rose said his party is pushing for an EU referendum.
"I gave my quotation of Adolf Hitler to prove my point: that the EU is undemocratic," he said.
"We can't vote for a new lot of people in there if we're not happy with the way they're running it."
Mr Rose was recently called in for police questioning over allegations he tried to influence voters by giving away sausage rolls at a party event featuring snooker star Jimmy White, though no further action was taken against him.
Electoral Commission rules state food and entertainment cannot be provided by candidates to "corruptly influence" votes.

Russia's Sports Ministry says it is investigating the fights. Mr Kadyrov features them on his Instagram page.
The mixed martial arts contest in Grozny resembled professional boxing, the boys gesturing to an excited crowd.
Mr Kadyrov's boy fighters are Akhmad, aged 10, Eli, nine, and Adam, eight.
"We will find out about this situation, and request information on it," said Russian Deputy Sports Minister Pavel Kolobkov.
Mr Kadyrov is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has ruled Chechnya since his forces, helped by massive Russian firepower, defeated separatist rebels in 1999-2009.
His much-feared militia, called the "Kadyrovtsy", have been accused of kidnapping, torture and other human rights abuses.
Mr Kadyrov watched the martial arts bouts sitting next to Alexander Zaldostanov, another political ally of Mr Putin. Nicknamed "The Surgeon," Mr Zaldostanov heads a nationalist biker gang called the Night Wolves, fiercely loyal to the Kremlin.
The boy fighters in Grozny did not wear helmets or other protective gear. Their fights included blows to the head.
The head of the Russian Mixed Martial Arts Union, Fyodor Yemelianenko, condemned the competition, saying it was "unacceptable and cannot be justified".
Mr Kadyrov posted boastful comments along with the Instagram video clips, such as: "Little Adam showed that he's a real Lion!... The opponents had strong fighting spirit and will, but Adam won a confident victory and won the champion's belt. Congratulations, Adam!"
In Russia's parliamentary and regional elections last month Mr Kadyrov won in Chechnya with 98% support.
Cardiff led at half-time thanks to Peter Whittingham's exquisite free-kick.
Daniel Pudil's low strike brought the visitors level but they were thwarted by a stubborn defensive effort.
Wednesday are now sixth in the table, while Cardiff are up to 22th but still in the relegation zone.
Carlos Carvalhal's side had their eyes on the play-off places following Sunday's Yorkshire derby win at Huddersfield, while Cardiff had started Warnock's reign with a stirring derby victory of their own against Bristol City on Friday.
Whittingham had given Cardiff the lead with a casually taken penalty on that occasion, and he was similarly insouciant as he curled a delicate free-kick over the wall to put them ahead against Wednesday.
The visitors enjoyed as much as 78% possession in the first half but they were shackled by their industrious opponents, who could have scored a second goal moments before half-time when Sean Morrison's header was cleared off the line.
Wednesday were sharper after the break and the introduction of Fernando Forestieri - who scored the winner at Huddersfield - brought pace and invention to their attacks.
Carvalhal's side struck after 55 minutes, Gary Hooper's fizzing cross finding its way to Pudil, whose low shot hit Cardiff goalkeeper Ben Amos on its way into the net.
They continued to dominate possession but found it difficult to create clear scoring opportunities against a resolute Bluebirds defence which dropped deeper to frustrate their opponents.

The 36-year-old made a half century to help beat Hamsphire by six wickets in his last scheduled county game of 2016.
The West Indies batsman scored 177 runs in five outings, after making 328 runs in three Somerset appearances in 2015.
"The mind is willing but the body says 'you've got to take a break'. There is too much stiffness on this body at this time," Gayle told BBC Radio Bristol.
"But we'll see how well I can actually manage that, how long I can actually last and go on to entertain the fans around the world.
"I'm looking forward to heading back home now. It's been a wonderful hospitality and atmosphere.
"Apart from the first game which was very, very cold - that was the only game I didn't really get a score. The weather played its part but we have no control over that."
After scoring just five runs in his first T20 Blast appearance of this summer, Gayle had said he "needed to get acclimatised" as quickly as possible.
He did not rule out a return later this season if Somerset - who now lie fifth in the South Group, two points behind leaders Glamorgan - reach the final.
"It's a possibility, we're looking forward to it and we'll see what happens, so you never know," he added.
"Hopefully the guys make it to the final and we can actually get a change to get a trophy.
"Somerset (will) always have a place in my heart.
"I like all the fans interacting, even when the ball just trickles to me and I pick it up, they cheer for that. It's fantastic when you have that sort of impact on people."
They could be inside or outside the grounds of existing jails, according to the prisons inspectorate (HMIPS).
Figures from SPS show the number of prisoners over the age of 60 in Scottish jails has risen by a fifth in the past year.
It is spending £1m a year on social care packages for elderly inmates.
The HMIPS report "Who Cares? The Lived Experience Of Older Prisoners In Scotland's Prisons" said the number of inmates over the age of 60 had risen significantly in recent years and would continue to do so.
It said there was a pressing need for a clear strategic approach to tackle the challenges of responding to increasingly complex health and social care needs of older people in prison.
"This may require the development of non-traditional units for at least some older prisoner whether within, or outside the grounds of existing establishments," the report concluded.
In 2016 there were 280 prisoners in Scottish jails aged 60 or over. In July 2017 there were more than 340, with two-thirds serving four years or more, including life terms.
The oldest male in a Scottish prisoner is 85, the oldest woman is 73. The majority of elderly prisoners have been convicted in historical sex abuse cases.
The report said this group of prisoners had distinct needs for suitable accommodation, social contact and activities, but too many were not having their needs met in a satisfactory way.
One said: "I'm 72 and on the top bunk. I'm a lot fitter than my co-pilot, that's why I'm up there. I am a bit worried that I could fall and hurt myself when I'm trying to get in and out of my bed."
A staff member, quoted in the report said: "You've got no idea how difficult it can be trying to place some of the elderly prisoners.
"At times when we are trying to figure out where to put somebody we are literally having to make an assessment as to who can and who cannot make it up and down to the top bunk. Surely it's not right to put a 72-year-old in the top bunk?"
The Chief Inspector of Prisons in Scotland, David Strang, said the report highlighted the challenges of responding to the increasingly complex health and social care needs of older people in prison and emphasised their distinct needs for suitable accommodation, social contact and activities.
He said: "Many expressed their fears of growing old in prison and the possibility of dying alone. There is a clear need for such basics of life as suitable activities and social contact.
"I hope that this report will lead to effective change in the treatment of older prisoners in Scotland."
Former justice secretary Kenny MacAskill has advocated the creation of "secure old-folks' homes" to deal with the problem.
The HMIPS report makes no recommendation for change, but said the issues caused by the increase in the elderly prisoner population cannot be addressed by the SPS alone.
It said: "There is a pressing need for a clear strategic approach to a subject which has grown incrementally in importance, but without any specific strategy."
Mr Strang said: "Most older prisoners didn't want to be separated on the grounds of age from younger inmates. But in many cases they need extra support which can't easily be delivered within the mainstream prison system.
"There is a need to deliver care which is more in keeping with the reality of prisoners' situations than their own perceptions, but we are not advocating how that can be achieved.
"We are saying innovative and different solutions should be found, and this is a challenge for the Scottish government and SPS."
The SPS already provides specialist facilities and training for staff who manage distinct prisoner populations such as sex offenders, young people in custody, female offenders with babies and dementia awareness.
The report said creating separate provision for older prisoners in particular locations would enable SPS to make suitable adaptations to the environment and create teams of staff who were dedicated and trained to work with the elderly.
Tom Fox, SPS head of communications, said neither prison staff nor the health care staff who work in prisons were trained to provide social care.
"At present we are spending just under £1m buying in social care for those in our care. It's a significant cost," he said.
"What we have to do is develop a coherent strategy across the entirety of the estate to ensure the people in our care receive the support and services that they need."
Responding to the HMIPS report, Peter Dawson, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "This report highlights the challenges of providing effective care and a constructive regime for an increasingly elderly and frail prison population. It is a challenge which the Scottish Prison Service cannot meet on its own.
"Prison staff should not be expected to do the jobs of nurses and care providers. A comprehensive strategy is needed to ensure health, social care and criminal justice agencies work together to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of people growing old behind bars."
The NHS is planning to cut services at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton, claiming they are unsustainable.
Last month the health secretary rejected calls for an independent review of the plans, saying a public consultation was appropriate.
The consultation is expected to start at the end of July or early August.
The preferred option of NHS Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is to replace overnight children's care at the Friarage with a day care assessment unit, and to have midwife-led maternity services instead of consultant-led.
It would mean pregnant women at risk of complications travelling to hospital in Middlesbrough, 22 miles (35km) away, to give birth.
Dr Vicky Pleydell, the CCG's chief clinical officer, said: "The case for change is clear, and it would not be safe for the service to remain as it is currently.
"The number of sick children requiring inpatient care and number of high-risk births are too small to support the size and experience required of medical teams to ensure a safe and high-quality service.
"Our preferred option would mean that the vast majority of children's and maternity services at the Friarage would be retained and women would still be able to choose the Friarage for low-risk births.
"We aim to start the consultation as soon as we have a project team in place."
Dorset Police took a call from the coastguard after the unidentified object was found on Highcliffe Beach at around 13:30 GMT.
Photographs of the object have been sent to bomb disposal experts for guidance.
Police say there is no risk to the public at this stage and are awaiting further information about the object.
The former Spice Girl has taken up her new role for the organisation's Aids campaign.
She said she'd been inspired by a trip to South Africa.
"This is the beginning of an important journey for me. As a woman and a mother I have a responsibility to support other women."
She missed the opening of her first clothing store in London to attend the news conference in New York.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly's press conference, she said: "Why has it taken for me to get to 40 years old to realise, I need to stand up?
"I need to use what I have to make a difference.
"Every woman out there has the right to health and the right to give her children a healthy future.
"Children, babies, should not be born with HIV, and we can stop that. We are very, very close to stopping that which is why I'm sitting here now. We can't give up, we have to keep going, we are so close."
She joins a list of high-profile celebrity goodwill ambassadors that has included Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson.
Victoria Beckham's involvement with charitable organisations is nothing new considering the work husband David has done with Unicef, Comic Relief and the Red Cross.
However, this is the first time she's taking the front seat with a charity and, judging by the smile on UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibe, the UN is glad to have her on board.

Born to a Zimbabwean mother and a Scottish father, he was much-loved by his many aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides.
His death in the Tavistock Square bus explosion on 7 July 2005 was a huge loss to his many friends and large family, none more so than his parents.
"To his mother, he was simply the best son in the world," the inquest into his death heard.
To his father, Jamie was a best friend, the statement from his parents read.
Born on 19 December 1974 in south London to Pairose Bond and Glaswegian David Gordon, Jamie moved to Harare with his mother and sister when he was four.
His father visited several times as Jamie threw himself into school, scouting, horseriding and BMX.
More than a decade later, he returned to Britain to finish his education at Eaglesfield secondary school in Shooters Hill, south London.
Out of school, he joined the scouts and formed a band with friends, playing guitar and singing at several gigs.
At the inquest, his parents told of Jamie's changing face.
He went from "the exuberant child who seemed to fear nothing, to the long-haired, rock star teenager, all hair, nail varnish, black mascara and guitars, to the mature, but still quirky young man", they said.
In the words of his father, Jamie "wanted to be a rock star, but fell into financial administration".
But it was only after some fun in Ibiza that, in 1997, he put on a suit and moved into the City. That same year, Jamie's older half-brother, David, died of a brain haemorrhage.
For several years Jamie worked in finance in Old Street, east London.
It was a job that he normally reached by taking an overground train from Enfield in north London, where he lived with his fiancee Yvonne Nash, to Liverpool Street, before walking the final three-quarters of a mile to his office.
But on the night before the London attacks, Mr Gordon, 30, had stayed at a friend's house after a leaving party. His route to work the next morning led him to take the number 30 bus that exploded in Tavistock Square.
At his side for seven years was his devoted girlfriend, who had, six months before his death, become his fiancee.
"It sounds very cliched, but he was my soulmate, my best friend," Ms Nash said in the wake of the attacks.
"We complemented each other. I took a back seat and was the organiser, while he was just happy to entertain everyone."
At the inquest, his parents said: "Jamie was a funny, tolerant and charming young man who could be irritatingly late, but rarely ever shortchanged any of us.
"His loyalty and humour saw him through many tight spots and his continual growth made it easier for us to accept the changing world we lived in.
"The essence of Jamie left an indelible mark on all who met him and, to this day, on the important dates, both friends and family gather to remember him."
The film star and his lawyer wife Amal want to erect the cameras on poles up to 5m (16ft) high in the grounds of their manor house in Sonning Eye, on the Oxfordshire-Berkshire border.
Eye and Dunsden Parish Council initially raised concerns over privacy and the CCTV system's visual impact.
But the planned height of the poles was reduced and the complaint was dropped.
South Oxfordshire District Council says planning permission has now been granted as the CCTV system will not be detrimental to the special architectural and historical interest of the listed building.
It is located on an island in the River Thames on the county border between Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
The Hollywood star bought the property in late 2014.
Most of them had hidden the migrants in their own cars, prosecutors say.
Car and van drivers, instead of lorry drivers, are increasingly being recruited by smuggling gangs.
The deputy prosecutor for the Calais region's main court said she saw between five and 10 smugglers from the UK every month.
Julie Colaert told the BBC's File on 4 programme that people from the UK now made up a quarter of those brought before the court - second only to smugglers from Eastern Europe.
"In the last two years we have seen more and more English smugglers," she said.
"Trafficking gangs are employing them to take people across in their own cars.
"The migrants pay a lot of money because it's sold as guaranteed passage to the UK."
She estimated that up to 100 people from the UK had been convicted by the court in the past 12 months.
She gave an estimated figure because, she said, in France it is illegal to record statistics by nationality.
In the most recent case, Basir Haji, from Preston in Lancashire, was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
He was caught at the Calais ferry terminal with two Iraqi men hiding in the boot of his car.
He admitted agreeing to smuggle them to the UK for £500 (698 euros).
The Iraqi men told the police that their families had each paid £4,500 for them to be transported to the UK.
Haji was convicted of trying to facilitate the entrance of foreign citizens in circumstances incompatible with human dignity.
Haji spoke to the BBC before he was taken to a prison south of Calais.
"I'm in debt. That's why I did it. I've been playing a lot of money in the casino," he said.
The judges suspected Haji may have successfully smuggled migrants into the UK on a previous day trip to Calais, in April.
Haji told the court there were three men above him in the smuggling network.
And he told the BBC he believed the head of the gang was based in England.
Julie Colaert said that the number of Britons charged with smuggling migrants across the Channel had increased significantly in the last two years.
In the past criminal gangs had hidden migrants in lorries, but now the use of private cars and vans was more common, as people believed they were less likely to be stopped or searched.
Europol, the European Union's law enforcement agency, has confirmed that organised criminal gangs and opportunistic individuals based in the UK are involved in smuggling illegal immigrants into the country.
The French lawyer who represented Basir Haji at his trial said the recruitment of people smugglers had evolved in recent years.
Emmanuelle Osmont said that mafia organisations were now targeting students with financial difficulties, and bar owners and shopkeepers whose businesses were struggling.
The criminals start by presenting people-smuggling as a means of making extra money.
"The first approach might be in a café," said Ms Osmont.
"They make friends... and bit by bit they become interested in them, asking them about their personal and professional situation.
"It can take weeks, but when they have formed enough of a bond, they present the human trafficking as a way of helping friends or family fleeing war or persecution."
The drivers recruited by the gangs earn between about £2,100 and £2,800 per trip.
Many may make one trip without being caught, but are stopped on a second or third attempt.
The sentences they receive range from six months to two years in prison.
According to Ms Osmont, the recruits know that their behaviour is illegal but are told that the risk of being caught is minimal.
But working with these mafia gangs, who are armed and dangerous, is risky in itself.
"They threaten people and their children. Once you start working with them, they'll never let you go," Ms Osmont warned.
File on 4: Ticket to Hide is on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 BST on Tuesday, 23 June and available later via BBCiPlayer.

Adam Szurgocinski, 26, died in hospital after being attacked at a property in Jubilee Road on 14 September 2014.
Mateusz Halabura, 25, Pawel Wegorzewski, 20, Rafal Palinski, 29, Jaroslaw Owczarczyk, 32 and Sebastian Gurski, 30, from the Doncaster area, pleaded guilty to manslaughter midway through a trial at Leeds Crown Court.
They were charged with murder before.
Police said Mr Szurgocinski suffered a brain haemorrhage after being subjected to "a sustained physical attack".
Det Insp Sean Bird, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "Questions about what happened to Adam that day have not been answered, as none of those accused have offered any explanation prior to admitting their guilt."
The force arrested 16 people on suspicion of murder in the months that followed Mr Szurgocinski's death.
A sixth man, Dariusz Bogusz, 32, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice in February.
All six men will appear at Sheffield Crown Court for sentence on 6 May.
Heavy summer rains have caused rivers to swell across a vast area.
In Paraguay, the most affected country, President Horacio Cartes declared a state of emergency, freeing up $3.5m (£2.3m) in relief funds.
The Paraguay river in the capital, Asuncion, is just 30cm (12in) away from overtopping its banks.
That could lead to widespread flooding in the Asuncion area.
And it could affect thousands of other people who live by the Paraguay - the country's main river - the authorities said.
Nearly 200 electricity pylons have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds.
Four people were killed in the country by fallen trees.
In northern Argentina, some 20,000 people have been evacuated.
At least two people have died in the floods, which have mostly affected the provinces of Entre Rios, Corrientes and Chaco.
In the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, nearly 1,800 families in dozens of towns had been forced to leave their homes.
Heavy rain began to fall in the region on 18 December, swelling the Uruguay and Quarai rivers.
South of the Brazilian border, in Uruguay, thousands of people have been made homeless in the past few days.
But most of them have now returned home.
Dry weather is forecast for the Brazilian-Uruguayan border region in the next few days, but in Paraguay and Argentina water levels are still expected to rise.
Kevin Wilson, who was previously mayor of Tiverton, admitted illegally obtaining benefits totalling almost £4,000.
The 55-year-old was given a 10-week suspended jail sentence at Exeter Crown Court.
Councillors are only disqualified from serving if they receive a three-month sentence or longer.
Wilson's lawyer said it was an "issue for his constituents" whether he remained as a councillor.
The former Liberal Democrat councillor - who is now an independent - admitted two charges of making false representations to obtain £3,866.81 in housing and council tax benefits.
Wilson, of Besley Close, Tiverton, had told the court he ran into serious financial problems after he split up from his wife.
He received a 10-week sentence, suspended for two years, and was ordered to pay £260 costs and carry out 200 hours of unpaid community work.
Sentencing Wilson, the judge told him the offences were "significantly aggravated" because he had held a public role as a councillor and was a former employee of Devon County Council.
Financial pressure was "absolutely no excuse for dishonesty", the judge said.
Prosecutor Martin Meeke said that, under the Local Government Act, Wilson could only be forced out of office if he received a sentence of more than three months.
Lee Bremridge, defending, said Wilson's £398 monthly allowance as a councillor was his only income other than benefits.
Mr Bremridge said: "He maintains his position as a councillor by reason of his constituents and is due for re-election in 2015."
The council confirmed that Wilson could remain a councillor for now and said it was "his prerogative to remain on the council unless he chooses to resign".
A spokesman said: "It is up to the electorate to decide if they want to vote for him again."
Lord Heseltine has torn into Boris Johnson, saying his behaviour and comments in the EU referendum campaign show he is "losing his judgement", "feeling the strain of the campaign" and sinking his own chances of ever becoming Conservative leader.
He told me: "I think that every time he makes one of these extraordinary utterances, people in the Conservative Party will question whether he now has the judgement for that position."
As Boris Johnson might say: "Cripes!" But that doesn't quite begin to cover it. This criticism will sting because even though Boris Johnson insists it is not the case, many of his Tory colleagues believe his calculation to join the Out campaign was entirely because he wants to be the next leader of his party.
For Lord Heseltine, who of course had similar ambitions but was thwarted in the end, to suggest his decision and subsequent behaviour will in fact kill his chances will really hurt.
The decision before all of us is far bigger than any individual Conservative politician's career.
But the level of bitterness inside the Tory party is hard to ignore. There are only five weeks until we'll all make our choice.
For the country and the Tory party the real disruption might only begin on 24 June.

The Crime Survey for England and Wales indicates overall crime has fallen in recent years, but the Wales-only figures show there has been a rise.
The survey reported 469,000 incidents in Wales, up from 401,000 in 2011.
Most of the increase in Wales happened in the past year and has been driven by a hike in the number of violent crimes.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales is a survey of households conducted by the Office for National Statistics, which asks people if they have been a victim of crime.
This picks up many crimes that are not reported to the police.
The figures fluctuate from year to year but in recent years more people in Wales, according to the crime survey, have been a victim of crime.
Despite the increase, the recent level of crime is half that experienced 20 years ago, when in 1995 there were 903,000 incidents.
Last month, the latest data for England and Wales combined showed a 16% fall in crime compared with the previous year's survey, representing the lowest estimate since the survey began in 1981.
The other main source of official crime statistics is the data collected by police forces on the number of recorded crimes.
According to this measure, the number of crimes reported to the police in Wales was 175,888 in the year to June 2014 - up 1.3% from 173,614 a year earlier.
The reliability of police recorded crime figures were questioned in a parliamentary inquiry earlier this year.
In response to the figures, a Home Office spokesman said the survey sample was not designed for regional level analysis.
"The change in the year ending March 2014 Crime Survey figure for Wales (compared with a year earlier) is not statistically significant," he said.
"Because of the small sample size at a regional level, changes in regional figures derived from the survey can be volatile from one year to the next meaning it is difficult to interpret trends."
Street's wife says he died on 27 February at a hospital in Las Vegas after a short illness.
He sang with Temptations members Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin in the 1950s but didn't join the group until 1971.
As part of the group, Street had number of hits including the Grammy award-winning song, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, he was the first member of the band to be born in the city with which they became synonymous.
His death comes only 10 days after his band mate, Otis 'Damon' Harris, who died on 18 February aged 62, after a 14 year battle with prostate cancer.
Cindy Street, told CNN: "They're dancing up there in heaven, him and Damon."
He performed with the band until 1993 when he left due to alleged personal tensions with Williams.
Street went to hospital five days before he died, suffering from back pain and breathing difficulties. Doctors found he had a clot in a lung.
He is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters.
The Rugby Football Union said Marler - who immediately deleted the remark - was "extremely apologetic".
Dwyer had claimed England were scrummaged illegally during the win over the Wallabies on Saturday.
Marler asked to miss the tour to Australia to "recharge his batteries" after a difficult season.
In April, the Harlequins prop was fined £20,000 and given a two-week ban for calling Wales prop Samson Lee "Gypsy boy" during the Six Nations.
He was suspended for a further two weeks for kicking Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy in his first game back.
The RFU said the warning would remain on Marler's disciplinary record for five years and could be used in any future proceedings.
Eddie Jones' side will seal England's first series win in Australia if they win the second Test in Melbourne on Saturday.
Undergraduate maths, for example, contains few topics imagined after 1950.
That John Nash made ground-breaking contributions in mathematical areas as diverse as games, geometry and topology, and partial differential equations therefore establishes his place in history.
Much more striking, though, is the continuing resonance of his ideas.
Just last week, as Nash was in Oslo collecting the prestigious Abel Prize, colleagues of mine began applying his famous concept of equilibrium to help address one of society's much more contemporary problems - that of supplying electricity cheaply, reliably and cleanly.
Great new mathematical ideas have a balance to strike - they must be precise enough to allow detailed conclusions to be drawn, and yet sufficiently loose that they can be useful in a wide range of problems.
Nash equilibrium is just such an idea, and was a fundamental contribution to the nascent mathematical theory of non-cooperative games - situations where one player's fortunes depend on the actions of others, and everybody tries to do as well for themselves as possible.
Nash's definition of equilibrium was definitely loose enough: "A configuration of strategies, such that no player acting on his own can change his strategy to achieve a better outcome for himself."
Indeed it had so much slack that John von Neumann, the originator of game theory, reportedly told Nash in person that his work on the concept was "trivial".
Crucially, though, the Nash equilibrium offered something truly new - the ability to analyse situations of conflict and co-operation and produce predictions about how people will behave.
In addition to its obvious range of applications in politics and economics, the depth of the idea is illustrated by the traction it gained at the Rand corporation, the top secret US Cold War think tank.
While Rand had already identified game theory as a promising secret weapon against the Soviet Union, before Nash their analysis was "zero sum".
In other words their existing version of the theory was one of pure conflict in which the two sides shared no common interests.
There was a growing appreciation at Rand that this assumption was not realistic.
Since Nash's equilibrium concept is wide enough to allow the analysis of non-zero sum situations in which some goals are shared, he was immediately hired by Rand on completing his PhD in 1950.
Nash's other mathematical contributions should not be underestimated.
Indeed he always considered himself to be a pure mathematician, in contrast with the applied nature of game theory.
In the 1950s, Einstein's theories on the relationships between time and space led to a growing interest among mathematicians in high dimensional geometry.
In this context Nash's Embedding Theorem resolved a long-standing open problem among pure mathematicians, and the manner in which he proved it caused no little incredulity and controversy among his contemporaries.
His major contribution to the theory of differential equations may have led to the award of the prestigious Fields Medal, had his contemporary Ennio de Giorgi of Pisa not proved the same result just months earlier by different methods.
Nash's famous equilibrium, though, has grown to be perhaps the most important idea in economic analysis and has found application in fields as diverse as computing, evolutionary biology and artificial intelligence. More recently it has been used in studies of corruption and also name-checked amidst the Greek financial crisis.
It has of course been criticised, questioned and varied. Perhaps fittingly for an equilibrium, though, it is the balance between precision and generality which has made this beautiful and natural concept endure.
Prosecutor John Lloyd QC said Jill Goldsmith's wounds proved she was murdered at their home next to Northamptonshire Police HQ in March.
Adrian Goldsmith, 49, admits causing fatal injuries but denies murder.
He has told Stafford Crown Court his actions were in self defence.
The jury has heard he came home to find his wife waiting for him, and that she came at him with a knife.
He claimed he hit her with a variety of objects because she was attacking him, and had attacked him on previous occasions.
Mrs Goldsmith, also 49, was found with multiple head wounds in a pool of blood.
In closing arguments, Mr Lloyd QC asked the jury to reject any claims of self defence.
The jury heard a letter written by Mr Goldsmith, in which he said his wife compared him to Jekyll and Hyde.
Mr Lloyd said he agreed with the statement, and Mr Goldsmith was a "commended, hardworking officer and, we say, murderer all wrapped up in one".

Macedonian soldiers raised a new fence on the southern border with Greece on Saturday to manage the migrants.
Dozens of migrants, stuck in Greece after Balkan countries imposed tougher entry conditions, threw stones.
Reports suggest that Macedonian police briefly entered Greece and fired stun grenades on the rioters.
Macedonia's interior ministry says 18 police officers were injured, with two hospitalised. Some 20 migrants were treated for head injuries and breathing problems, aid groups told Associated Press news agency.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says 105,000 migrants have passed through Macedonia after arriving in Greece this month.
721,217
between 1 Jan - 25 Nov this year
217,936 in October
34,442 in whole of 2014
388,130 Syrians arrived between January and October this year
Throughout 2015, close to 720,000 migrants - mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - have arrived in Greece.
The IOM says most then travel onwards through Macedonia. The most popular route for migrants sees them move further north towards Germany and Scandinavia.
Macedonia insists it is not closing the border completely. A government spokesman said the fence would simply redirect people to official crossing points.
But those border crossings will not be open to all. Macedonia is allowing through refugees only from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Other nationalities are being stopped.
There have already been protests in response. Hundreds of people from countries such as Morocco, Algeria and Pakistan ripped up a barbed wire barrier on Thursday. Others have protested by sewing their mouths shut.
Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia have all implemented similar restrictions based on nationality.
Many of those refused entry to Macedonia from Greece are from Iran, Pakistan and Morocco.
One Moroccan man denied entry into Macedonia was taken to hospital with severe burns on Saturday after climbing on top of a train carriage and touching a live wire.
Soon after, the first clashes were reported. Footage showed migrants chanting "Open, open" as the fence was erected, before stones were thrown.
Close to 250 people were involved in the clashes on the Greek side of the border, AP reports, with some 800 people stranded.
"I have been here for 10 days with my two sons," one Iranian woman, Fatemeh, said. "We have decided to return to Athens and see what we will do."
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.
Earlier this week, inspectors said they had safety concerns about inmates at HMP Hewell, with vulnerable prisoners self-harming to address basic issues.
The anonymous officer also told BBC News cells were rarely searched.
A prison spokesman said staffing levels were set using a national benchmark but it was recruiting new officers.
He added that intelligence-led cell searches were now more common practice.
The prison officer highlighted several areas of concern among workers.
"The staff don't feel safe and there's not enough of them," they said.
"We've been cut back. In order to run a prison safely and securely you need the staff, and that's been totally taken away.
"Staff don't feel able to challenge prisoners properly... there's no consequence for bad behaviour.
"They don't feel backed up by management or by other staff around them."
The officer said mandatory cell searches were no longer conducted and they were "rammed" with contraband like mobile phones and weapons.
Use of synthetic cannabis was "rife" and targeted searches were "few and far between", they said.
The prison governor had made some changes but "did not believe he is understaffed", the officer said.
In its report earlier this week, HM Inspectorate of Prisons said there had been one murder and six suicides since its last visit and incidents of self-harming and bullying were high.
It found up to 40% of cells at the prison near Redditch were overcrowded, while access to basic services such as clothing, cleaning materials and mail were all poor.
The report mostly criticised the closed prison, which houses 1,100 inmates, with another 200 at the open section.
The Howard League for Penal Reform said Hewell had seen frontline officers cut from 330 in August 2010 to 170 by the end of June this year.
In a statement, Governor Nigel Atkinson said Hewell did have some job vacancies, which meant that "at times certain aspects of the prison regime may be restricted" but all work was risk assessed.
Regarding cell searches he said they were conducted based on "a more targeted approach", "deploying resources appropriately and proportionately, based on intelligence".
The blaze in a disused building in Nicholas Street began early on 25 November and burned for several hours.
Wayne Bardsley, 51, and James Evans, 57, had taken refuge in the building because they kept being moved off the streets, a friend told the BBC.
CCTV images of a man police want to speak to have been released.
Det Ch Insp Amber Waywell said, following an investigation, Greater Manchester Police "now believe that this incident could be suspicious".
"[We] have launched a murder investigation to establish how these men tragically lost their lives," she said.
She said officers wanted to hear from anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV "immediately".
"We also believe that members of the homeless community may have been in or near the building before the fire started. They could hold information that will be critical to our investigation," she added.
The women, aged 33 and 54, were charged under the Children and Young Persons Act after the girl was found on the corner of Abbotsford Drive on Sunday.
They had been due to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court, but were released after the Procurator Fiscal decided there was insufficient evidence.
The case has been referred to the Children's Reporter.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "After full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the report, the Procurator Fiscal decided that there was insufficient evidence of criminality to take proceedings against them."

Woods, 40, has not played competitively since August and has had three back operations in the last 18 months.
On Tuesday he tweeted a clip of himself hitting a ball into a virtual screen and wrote: "Progressing nicely."
Love said: "If he can play 10 or 12 tournaments in a row, I think he can get his game back and make our team."
Woods, who has spent a record 683 weeks as world number one, is now ranked 445th and his agent Mark Steinberg recently denied reports that the 14-time major winner had suffered a setback with his rehabilitation.
A winner of 79 PGA Tour events, Woods is one of Love's vice-captains for the Ryder Cup at Hazeltine as the US attempt to halt a run of three successive defeats, and has targeted becoming the first playing vice-captain in the history of the event.
"Tiger is very adamant he can handle both roles," Love told BBC World News. "I think Tiger will work hard enough, if his body will allow it.
"If he keeps stopping and starting - and the injuries keep piling up - it's going to be tough for him, but he's very determined. We've seen that."
Woods played only 11 events in 2015, carding his worst round as a professional with a 13-over-par 85 at the Memorial Tournament in June.
He missed the cut at The Open and PGA Championship but, in his final event before injury, he posted rounds of 64 and 65 in finishing in a tie for 10th at the Wyndham Championship.
"We've underestimated his injuries," Love said. "He has really been held down the last few years, but he can play.
"Get him out there on the golf course and he still wants to do it. He just needs a full season, like any athlete, to get himself straightened out."
The Ryder Cup runs from 30 September to 2 October.
Fast bowler Amir, 23, was jailed for his part in a spot-fixing scam during the 2010 Test series in England and banned from cricket for five years.
He returned in September and is playing for Chittagong Vikings in Bangladesh.
Hafeez refused to play with Amir in the Twenty20 competition, saying: "I can't share the dressing room with someone who hurt my country's integrity."
The all-rounder, 35, said he had no "personal issues" with the bowler, who would be eligible for selection for Pakistan's squad to tour England next summer.
He added: "If any other team makes me an offer then I will play the league and I have no problems facing Amir as I have played against him in the domestic matches, but I can't be in the same team."
Asked what his stance would be if Amir was recalled by Pakistan, Hafeez said: "We will look at it when it happens. It's premature to say anything now."
Amir, then 18, pleaded guilty to bowling no-balls at pre-arranged times during Pakistan's fourth Test against England at Lord's in 2010.
He served half of a six-month jail term, while team-mates Mohammad Asif and captain Salman Butt served six and seven months respectively.
Hafeez said: "They were just banned and went away from the fields. It was us who had to bear the brunt.
"We had to restore Pakistan team's integrity, restore the confidence of the world.
"We had to suffer the taunts of the fans and after 2010 every act, every defeat and every mistake of ours was seen as suspicious, so we overcame that tough time and will not allow it to happen again."
Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq said he supported Amir's inclusion in the Bangladesh league.
"He has been playing domestic cricket in Pakistan so it's a tournament where he can share the experience of some of the international players and see where he is at the moment," said Misbah.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said Amir, Asif and Butt should be "given a second chance".
Speaking to pakpassion.net, the 75-year-old said: "Give them a proper chance, get fit, play well and if they are still good enough then give them a chance in the Pakistan team.
"Nobody should hold anything against, or favour, any of the three in any way."
Amir claimed 4-30 for Vikings in Dhaka on Sunday in his first match outside Pakistan in five years.
The Pakistan Cricket Board told Butt and Asif they must complete a "rehabilitation process" before they will be considered for selection.
The families have already been able to claim £70,000 from the fund which has raised £18m following the 22 May bomb.
Its trustees have decided the victims' relatives could be eligible to receive a further £180,000 from the fund.
The total payments mean more than half of the money raised will be paid out with no conditions attached.
Trustees must now decide how and when to distribute the rest of the money, including awards to those who were seriously injured in the attack.
"We will now spend some time looking at how we will distribute the rest of the funds. This will be a complex and sensitive process as we will need to assess the long-term impacts of the attack," said Councillor Sue Murphy, chair of the trustees.
She said: "The city and the world responded with such extreme kindness, generosity and solidarity in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena attack."
Ms Murphy added: "We have raised more than £18m and we were conscious that we had to get some of this swiftly to those with immediate needs.
"We have therefore given around a third of the total to the bereaved families and £3.5m to those who were hospitalised after the attack."
The decision follows an earlier announcement from Manchester City Council about a second charity, set up to pay for victims' memorials.
The authority said it would complement the existing We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
An advisory group of civic and business leaders is being formed to advise the council on all memorial-related issues and will include consultations with the victims' families.
The council said this advisory group would be "crucial in determining the form and location of any permanent commemorations".
Its first meeting will be in early September.
In the video, they promise to host parties there, saying: "Oscar built this house to entertain".
Pistorius family spokeswoman Anneliese Burgess described the footage as "bizarre" to the South African press.
David Scott and Kagiso Mokoape have apologised after giving the South African TV channel Netwerk24 a tour.
However, the pair told the Rekord newspaper they had been assured that they were not being recorded.
"They came to the house to interview us to promote our business. We were relaxed and giving our own opinion as they told us they were not recording," Mr Scott said.
Mr Mokoape told the paper that the purpose of the video had been to send out a positive message that people "should enjoy and celebrate life".
The business partners give the TV channel a tour of the house, including the bathroom where Ms Steenkamp died, whilst holding cans of beer.
At one point Mr Scott says: "This is definitely an entertainer's house."
In another part of the video he told the channel: "Hot girls can invite themselves."
Mr Scott also said they intended to decorate the house "in honour of what happened here".
A version of the video is still on the network's English language website.
During the video, Mr Scott opens the toilet door, through which Ms Steenkamp was shot four times, to show where she died.
While in the bathroom, Mr Mokoape says "I feel bad for Reeva's parents".
The bathroom has since been refurbished.
An online poll by the South African website IOL found that readers were closely split on whether it would be distasteful to hold a party at the house.
The South African parole board is due to decide later this week whether to release Pistorius on house arrest.
He was convicted of manslaughter last year but cleared of murder.
The appeal against his acquittal on murder charges is to be heard next month.
The Olympic athlete insists he mistook his then girlfriend for an intruder.
Police said two of the men required medical treatment in Rochdale on Saturday, with one, aged 34, in a serious condition in hospital.
It follows three separate incidents of men becoming ill after taking legal highs in the town on Friday.
A 33-year-old man remains in an induced coma after taking the legal high.
Police reiterated warnings about the danger of taking legal highs 'Annihilation' or 'Cherry Bombs' which it said are different forms of psychoactive substances.
Greater Manchester Police's Det Sgt Louise Ashurst said this further highlights "a worrying trend that more people are taking these dangerous substances".
"They might not be illegal but they are very dangerous and can cause you serious harm and we currently have two men in hospital in a very serious condition."
"We believe that some of the substances that are being taken are called 'Annihilation' or 'Cherry Bombs' which might make them sound appealing but the potential consequences make taking them not worth it.
Police said symptoms to watch out for include:
The Ibrox club confirmed on Sunday that Finn Johansson has been given the role of Caixinha's 'local' assistant.
Johansson, a Rangers player from 1997-2000, played alongside Paatelainen with Finland and for him at Hibernian.
"Jonatan will be a great addition to the Rangers coaching team," Paatelainen told BBC Scotland.
Johansson was most recently an assistant with the Finland national side, having also worked as under-20s coach at Motherwell from 2012-2015.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He fought off competition from fellow former Rangers players Barry Ferguson, John Brown, Alex Rae and Kevin Thomson, with Caixinha looking to add some local knowledge to his backroom set-up.
Paatelainen, who signed Johansson for Hibs in 2009, is convinced the 41-year-old has the character and qualities to succeed.
"JJ is a smashing guy," Paatelainen added. "He was a very hard worker when he was a player.
"I haven't worked with him as a coach but I have spoken to him about coaching, and as a player he was always a good listener.
"I'd regard Jonatan as an honest, very loyal person who has experience of playing at the top level.
"JJ is a guy who will be very easy to work with and whatever Pedro Caixinha asks him to do, he will do it. He will be a pleasure to work with.
"It's a great move for JJ to improve and get experience of coaching at such a great club."
Johansson joined Rangers as a 21-year-old and flourished under Dick Advocaat, scoring 21 times in his 71 appearances.
And Paatelainen insists his countryman will relish a return to Ibrox.
"Jonatan is a Rangers man through and through so he will really enjoy working for a club that is so close to his heart," he added.
Steven Lawless and Adam Barton both hit the woodwork either side of half-time for the visitors.
Chris Erskine finally broke the deadlock when he turned and rifled a shot past goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
However, they were denied three points when Sammon's innocuous shot slipped through the fingers of Thistle goalkeeper Tomas Cerny.
Five years ago today Kilmarnock won the Scottish League Cup final at Hampden by beating Celtic.
As they celebrated the anniversary with the trophy displayed at half-time, they also recorded what could prove to be a vital point in their quest to secure their Premiership status for another season at least.
Killie enjoyed plenty of first half possession, had a good few chances and showed an inventive side from a succession of corner-kicks.
Interim boss Lee McCulloch and his coaching staff have obviously been rehearsing options on how to create openings from set-pieces and they were proving handful for the visitors to defend.
From one, Scott Boyd's header from Jordan Jones' delivery was superbly tipped over the bar by Cerny.
From the next corner Jones, worked it short to Greg Taylor before his cross found Kris Boyd who set up Sammon, but as he stretched to score from close range the ball was deflected over the bar by Thistle's Christie Elliott.
Killie were also creative in open play. Jones had a left foot strike which flew wide of Cerny's post as the home side looked for the breakthrough before Kris Boyd blasted over from 16 yards on the angle after being released by a neat pass from Rory McKenzie.
Thistle had two first half chances. A Lawless strike which hit the crossbar after he latched onto a Scott Boyd clearance and a Niall Keown header from an Erskine free kick which went wide.
But they made a more impressive start to the second period. Ryan Edwards turned well on the edge of the area before shooting wide then, Erskine sent a powerful volley the wrong side of the right hand post.
The pendulum had swung and next to try his luck for Thistle was Barton who blasted in a left foot shot which struck the inside of the Killie 'keeper's right hand post before bouncing clear.
The goal eventually arrived and Erskine delivered it as he swivelled 10 yards out before turning his left foot shot beyond Woodman.
But the home side responded well as Sammon claimed the equaliser with a 25 yard effort which beat Cerny. It was the striker's fourth goal for the Ayrshire side since joining on loan from Hearts.
Kilmarnock interim manager Lee McCulloch: "On the first half performance you could easily say we deserved the point. Then up until about 75 minutes Partick Thistle were very good and we thought we'd weathered the storm.
"But we've allowed no real pressure on the ball, the cross comes in and Erskine's allowed to take a touch, turn and good finish, but he's a good player.
"So we decided to change it and go two up top and we finished the game better, but overall I'll take the point.
"We made some minor changes to the preparation. We even got the dressing room changed a little bit - added a bit of colour to that - anything to get rid of this home form that's not been good enough."
Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "I thought the referee could have helped us out because we knew they were going to block. Kris Boyd gets free twice in the box and you now why he's free, it's down to good movement, but they were blocking our centre half and the officials didn't help us out.
"The second half was much better. The rain certainly helped the pitch and allowed us to pass the ball. I thought we deserved to win it mainly based on the that second half, but just disappointed with the error at the end.
"I don't think you're ever safe until you're in the top six [after the split]. We saw it last year with teams getting dragged back in, so we'll just focus on our next home game which is Ross County and try and get the three points there."

One of the highlights is And Now It's Dark, an exhibition of American night photography featuring Jeff Brouws, Todd Hido and Will Steacy.
Diffusion - Cardiff International Festival of Photography - Looking for America runs until 31 October 2015.
It was launched in 2014 and is based on a technology developed by a British teenager that compressed other news outlets' reports into shorter articles.
Yahoo was reported to have paid £20m for the tech and offered its creator Nick D'Aloisio a full-time job, but he opted instead to go to university.
The closure marks one of the first cuts made since Verizon bought Yahoo.
The telecoms company paid $4.5bn (£3.6bn) for the internet services firm in a deal that was completed on 13 June.
Yahoo News Digest was a past winner of Apple's software Design Award and it has been installed more than 9.5 million times onto iOS and Android devices worldwide, according to the market research firm App Annie.
Twice a day it presents each user with a digest of six to eight major stories made up of text, images and graphics, telling the reader they are "done" when they have all been flicked through.
The Next Web tech blog has described Yahoo's decision to retire the service as "shooting itself in the foot by doing away with the best app it's ever built".
Users are now met with a message saying that they should download a different app, Yahoo Newsroom.
"This is something that has been on the roadmap for a while and is an opportunity for users to get the same great news coverage but the added bonus of being able to join the conversation with a passionate community and world class editors," said a spokeswoman for Yahoo.
Newsroom acts as a wider news aggregation service that also lets users post articles they have seen elsewhere and discuss them with others.
"Yahoo News Digest was particularly popular with the tech-savvy part of the population," said Sameer Singh from App Annie.
"But Yahoo Newsroom is probably a better fit with Verizon's current advertising strategy."
Yahoo Newsroom was launched in the US in October. However, a link provided to the service does not work for users elsewhere - including in the UK - because it is not available worldwide.
Mr D'Aloisio originally said he would combine his degree in science and philosophy at the University of Oxford with time working on maintenance of the News Digest app.
However, the 21-year-old split with Yahoo more than two years ago and has since had one of his academic papers published by a peer-reviewed journal.
A friend told the BBC that Mr D'Aloisio did not feel he had any comment to add.
One of the heroes was goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, who saved all four penalties in the shootout.
In her latest BBC Sport column, 'Mad Dog' discusses how it feels to become a national hero, to be tweeted by Dermot O'Leary and to get a free curry...
Winning gold is something I have dreamed of, but I don't know if I ever thought it was truly possible.
I knew we were good enough to win gold but sport is sport and it doesn't always go your way. I just wanted us to perform as a group and show what we are about. If a medal came our way, then great, Thankfully it did.
Since landing back in Britain, everything has started to hit home. We've been in a bubble for three weeks; we had no idea what was going on at home.
After winning gold, the first thing my brother texted me was, 'Maddie, you're trending on Twitter', not 'Well done on the gold'.
My social media pages were going mad. I had to sign out quickly. It was too much and it was stressing me out. A few nights ago, Dermot O'Leary, the TV presenter, messaged me. I was thinking, 'What is going on?'

BBC television's viewing figures for the Olympic final were something like nine million, which is incredible. I am glad I didn't know that before the game. It would have made it even more daunting.
Coming back home and seeing the number of people in the airport, little kids with hockey sticks and team kits... that was the moment when it hit home. They seemed to be in awe of us and wanted to be us.
But the biggest shock has been finding out that people know what I look like. If they recognise me and I am the one with the helmet on my head, it is a good sign for the sport.
This is the start of something quite special for hockey. Barely anyone knew what the game was or were talking about it about it before we won. That is our number one goal achieved, just getting our sport out there. The medal is a bonus.
I learned to play by going to a hockey club, picking up a hockey stick and deciding that was for me. Now, however many years later, I am an Olympic champion. It can happen to anyone.
I will be down at the club this week for the first time. I can't wait to see the buzz. That is where, more than ever, I will realise we have really done it.
I was a little bit nervous going into the final against the Dutch. I knew I would be busy and would have a role to play; I just prayed it would go well.
I made an early save, which was key. Then there was the penalty miss by Maartje Paumen. I have not seen that girl miss in years, so I thought that was a sign. I was just loving it and couldn't wait to make another save.
Things continued to go our way. It was like that throughout the tournament. There were key moments against key teams. It was like it was written for us.
We beat the Netherlands on penalties last summer to win European gold, so I remember thinking I would much rather be in our camp as soon as it went to the shootout. They had to be nervous and you could see it. They couldn't look at me; their heads were down.
I loved it. I wasn't nervous in the slightest and everything went my way. The ball kept hitting me, whether it was my head or my foot. I have never kept a clean sheet in a shootout, so that was a personal achievement.
I don't remember what happened when we won. I think I turned to my family; I was in a state of shock. Someone jumped on me. It was all a bit of a blur.
I can't wait to watch the game back. I heard some radio footage the other day and that gave me goosebumps. More than anything, we wanted to put on a show, an advert for women's sport and hockey in general.
After the game, our management team organised a party at a rooftop bar that our friends and family could come to. They had been out for the two weeks but we had barely seen them. It was so good to spend some time with them.
We were up there till 2am and a few of us cracked on into town. I lost an entire night's sleep that night - I was just too excited.
The second night we had a party with other Olympians at Team GB's Rio headquarters, British House. It was legendary. It seems wherever we go we leave a mark. Hockey girls certainly know how to party but there are some tired bodies at the moment.
On the way back to Britain, it was surreal to be on a plane full of Olympians - and I made the most of it. Everyone was mingling. I was sat there chatting to the Brownlee brothers; Adam Peaty was there; Max Whitlock was there.
I share a house with Lily Owsley in Maidenhead. We got in and went to our local curry house. We took our medals to show them and they fed us for free.
Then, when some of us were on a train, we couldn't get a seat. As we were walking up and down the carriages, a lot of people were tweeting that there were three Olympic medallists who had nowhere to sit. Then a train manager came out and got us into first-class.
I am going to the Netherlands soon to play for SCHC. It will be slightly awkward - and I am a bit scared they won't let me over the border. My medal will have to come with me. If I get any stick, I will have to pull it out.
I am excited to get over there. It is a good opportunity for me to improve because it is the biggest league in the world and allows me to play club hockey full-time. But, come November, I will be ready to have a rest.
I also need to make sure I do that in the build-up to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. I have only been GB's number one since 2013. It has gone very well but I want to go on and do so much more.

Kate Richardson-Walsh, our captain and most-capped player, has retired. She has achieved so much in hockey, she is respected by so many and can, without doubt, lead a team at any level. I hope to see her in the GB coaching set-up.
She has been a legend in our sport and it is so sad to think I will never play alongside her in a GB shirt again. We will face off against each other in the Dutch league, which will be fun.
We couldn't have been prouder when she was asked to be GB flag bearer at the closing ceremony in Rio. Good luck to whoever fills her shoes. It will be tough to do.
We have a team Whatsapp group and everyone has been posting 'good morning' messages at 4am because we are all still jet lagged.
Within seconds of the first message, Susannah Townsend was saying she missed everyone. We had only been apart for four minutes. That is classic Susannah. We all tell her she is needy but we wouldn't change her for the world.
It may be a very exciting time but it is also sad. As a group, we will never be together like that again. As nice as it is to get away from everyone for a little bit, there are some Olympic blues already.
We were warned that this would happen when all the media calms down. I will be back to the real world and I will be thinking, 'Where are my team-mates?'
I remember our coach telling us that the biggest challenge after winning is winning. We need to not only keep the legacy going, but now, more than ever, we need to keep picking up medals.
We have a home World Cup in 2018. That is a fantastic opportunity to carry on and show what we are about.
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission says the development gap between rich and poor five-year-olds must halve for a more equal society.
It notes that only half the poorest children are deemed ready for school compared to two-thirds of others.
The poorest pupils are still lagging behind by the time they take GCSEs.
The commission notes the poorest pupils are still half as likely to get five good GCSEs as their wealthier peers.
This, in turn, affects their chances of going to more selective universities, the report says.
The commission, chaired by Alan Milburn, calls for more stretching objectives for the early years and a new national definition of school readiness.
This would encourage early years staff to focus more on preparing young children for school, it says.
Launching his annual report on the state of the nation, Mr Milburn said: "The gap between rhetoric and reality has to be closed if the prime minister's One Nation objective is to be realised.
"Current signs of progress do not go nearly far or fast enough to address the gulf between the divided Britain of the present and the One Nation Britain we aspire to become."
His report calls for a "major new focus" on narrowing the attainment gap and highlights how low ability wealthy children often overtake their brighter, poorer peers during school.
The commission also calls for a rethink of teacher pay and the funding of teacher training.
It argues that in order to attract quality graduates "new teacher pay should be improved to compete with other graduate employees".
Fees for initial teacher training should be scrapped and new incentives should be introduced to encourage teachers to move to challenging schools on a trial basis, it suggests.
The report claims there is a growing social divide by income and by class.
"Looking at earnings, the income share of the top 10% has increased from 28% to 39% since 1979, while the income share of the top 1% has more than doubled from 6% to 13% over the same time period," it says.
It adds: "At the very bottom of society there are more than one million children living a life of persistent poverty.
"They are excluded from sharing in the many opportunities that life in modern Britain affords."
A government spokesman said it was committed to an "all-out assault on poverty".
"Our investment in childcare is helping parents get into work and give their children the best start in life, while the pupil premium and school reforms are ensuring every child gets a good education."
The spokesman said work was the best way out of poverty, adding that the number of workless households was at a record low.
He highlighted plans for the new National Living Wage, three million more apprenticeships by 2020, and the funding of 30 hours of free childcare for working parents each week.
The pupil premium, extra cash targeted through schools at the most disadvantaged children, was also highlighted.
"We are absolutely committed to building one nation where nobody is defined by the circumstances of their birth," said the spokesman.
The Child Poverty Action Group said: "Nine school children in every class of 30 is in poverty now and the projections are bleak, with an extra 1.5 million estimated to be below the poverty line by 2020 on current policies."
Kevin Courtney, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "Setting targets for narrowing the educational attainment gap without addressing its real causes and providing the resources to tackle those in partnership with schools is an abdication of responsibility.
"Once again schools are being left to pick up the pieces on their own."
Sand sculptors Remy and Paul Hoggard are using about 80 tonnes of sand to create the sculpture, which will depict King John at Runnymede in 1215.
The art work will stand 4m (13ft) tall and 9m (30ft) wide and is part of the anniversary event, Festival800.
Other events, celebrating democracy and freedom, are also taking place.
Mr Hoggard, who along with his Dutch wife has created sand sculptures all over the world, said this was one of his most adventurous projects in terms of size and scale.
The artist, who is originally from Beverley, East Yorkshire, but now lives on a farm in Bulgaria.
Magna Carta was a peace treaty between King John and the barons who were in revolt against him and it set out the principles of freedom under the law.
Only three of the 63 clauses in Magna Carta are still in law.
One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another relates to the privileges enjoyed by the City of London and the third is generally thought to have established the right to trial by jury.
One of the four surviving copies of Magna Carta is displayed at Lincoln Castle.
Festival 800 runs from 28 August to 6 September at venues across Lincoln and features performances from the likes of Billy Bragg and the Levellers.
There will also be comedy, poetry, street theatre, lectures and debate, organisers said.
Eamon Bradley, who is 28 and originally from Melmore Gardens, had denied a total of six charges.
On Thursday, he was acquitted of three charges of possessing grenades with intent to endanger life or cause damage to property.
The jury was unable to reach verdicts on the three other charges.
The trial is now over and the Public Prosecution Service must decide if there is to be a retrial on the three charges.
These allege that Mr Bradley attended a terrorist training camp in Syria where he received instructions on the use of AK47 assault rifles and in two machine guns as well as instructions on the use of a grenade.
He was charged with committing those offences in Syria between 31 March and 30 September 2014.
A decision on whether there will be retrial will be announced by the PPS next month.
The case at Londonderry Crown Court, which lasted 12 days, was the first of its kind in Northern Ireland.
Inclusion on the index would have been a major step forward for Beijing as it attempts to open up its financial markets and attract foreign capital.
Regulation worries and accessibility for global investors were some of the reasons behind MSCI's decision.
MSCI is world's biggest stock index provider.
China has in recent months increased its efforts to reform its often volatile stock market, but MSCI said global investors were looking for more.
"International institutional investors clearly indicated that they would like to see further improvements in the accessibility of the China A shares market before its inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index," Remy Briand, global head of research at MSCI, said.
The index provider said on Tuesday that China's authorities had demonstrated "a clear commitment" in bringing accessibility of their A shares market closer to international standards.
It also said it was looking forward to the "continuation of policy momentum in addressing the remaining accessibility issues."
However, analysts said they were not particularly surprised by MSCI's decision.
"It really was fifty-fifty regarding the inclusion," Catherine Yeung from Fidelity Investment told the BBC.
"What's important to note is that while we have seen some significant improvements in terms of how foreign investors access domestic Chinese stocks, [but regarding] the criteria that was set last year, a lot of it still needs to be fulfilled," she said.
Ms Yeung said what was very interesting was that MSCI said the inclusion of A shares could occur within the next year "outside of the normal review period which falls every June".
"So if we see further developments in terms of regulation, in terms of how we access the market as investors from a foreigner perspective, then indeed we could see inclusion," she said.
"But don't forget, it's likely to be a partial inclusion, let's say 5%, and inclusions do take years to actually be implemented.
"So this is very much a long-term story."
Serving soldier William Dempsey left bags of weapons at Carlisle station after getting off a train to Glasgow.
He collected them from James Ashdown in Kent. They were destined for Barry Kelly and Craig Colquhoun in Scotland.
They have all now had their jail terms reduced by judges sitting at London's Criminal Appeal Court.
All four were charged with three counts of conspiring to sell a prohibited weapon, one of conspiring to buy a shotgun without a certificate and one of conspiring to buy ammunition without a certificate.
Dempsey, 30, and Ashdown, 33, of no fixed address, were each jailed for eight years in October last year after they admitted the offences.
Ashdown was also given another three years for an unrelated drugs offence.
Kelly, 35, from Darvel, Ayrshire, and Colquhoun, 29, from Barrhead, near Glasgow, were jailed for nine and seven years respectively, after they were found guilty of all five counts.
However, the Criminal Appeal Court has now reduced those terms.
Judges said the original sentences did not make enough allowance for the fact that the maximum term for the offences was 10 years.
Mr Justice MacDuff, sitting with Lord Justice Fulford and Mrs Justice Elisabeth Laing, reduced Dempsey and Ashdown's sentences to six years and eight months.
Colqhoun's was cut to five years and 10 months and Kelly's to seven-and-a-half years.
Allowing the appeal, Mr Justice MacDuff said that, while these were serious offences which deserved a sentence higher than the upper limit, the rules could not be broken.
He added: "The overall criminality would justify - in our view as well as that of the judge - a starting point higher than 10 years, certainly in respect of these four appellants.
"But that, of course, is exactly what has been cautioned against in previous rulings.
"One cannot just circumvent the statutory maximum."
The club hope they can expand their Football in the Community scheme to try and develop players in the area.
The club had a category three status academy, but its director Geoff Harrop left the club earlier this month.
"We would like to put on record that we did not create this situation," the club's new owners said in a statement.
"We are extremely sorry for all the young boys who have been in the system and the dedication shown by these talented youngsters, and their families, has been outstanding at all times."
The club closed their academy back in 2004, but decided to bring it back in 2009.
But one of the coaches who is losing his job says the club may struggle to be allowed to re-open it again if times change.
"The Football League will be reluctant to let the academy open again as it's the second time it's happened at Torquay," Kevin Nancekivell told BBC Sport.
"But the decision's been made and we'll have to move on. My biggest concern now is to try and find clubs for the scholars, they're all good players and they'll get league clubs with no problems at all," added Nancekivell, who has also worked as an academy and first team coach at Plymouth Argyle.
One of his colleagues, former Gulls and Scotland Under 21 midfielder Craig Easton, believes the decision is short-sighted.
"It's a devastating decision to take and I'm not sure it's the correct one," he told BBC Sport.
"Four players were offered professional contracts this season, there was almost a fifth, and looking down the age groups there were a few coming up.
"There were certainly assets there coming through the youth department, really good players, that Torquay United aren't going to get the benefit of.
"The financial situation isn't great, but those kids coming through would have helped Torquay United in the future."

The game was first announced in 2014 but suffered delays and a legal challenge over its name from satellite television broadcaster Sky.
It will reach the UK on Wednesday, and PC gamers across the rest of the galaxy on Friday.
BBC Click's Marc Cieslak spoke to its creator Sean Murray, to find out how the game's enormous universe was developed.
The 33-year-old victim was seriously injured in the attack at a property in Dunluce Avenue.
He was taken to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) by ambulance.
A spokesperson for the Belfast Health Trust said he was in a stable condition.
Aaron Gray-Block was refused entry on Saturday night despite having a valid business visa and all necessary documents, the group said.
It added that no formal reason was given by immigration officials and he was not officially deported.
A senior government spokesman said officials were looking into the matter.
KS Dhatwalia told the AFP news agency that officials had seen the media reports of the alleged incident.
Greenpeace said Aaron Gray-Block was on his way to meetings in India when immigration officials stopped him at Bangalore airport on Saturday night and put him on a flight to Kuala Lumpur without explanation.
His passport was seized and returned to him once he landed in the Malaysian capital, the environmental group said in a statement.
"Our colleague has a valid business visa, and yet he was prevented from entering India with no reason given," Divya Raghunandan, programme director of Greenpeace India, said.
"We are forced to wonder if all international staff of Greenpeace will now be prevented from entering the country?"
Greenpeace has been involved in a long-running dispute with the Indian authorities.
In April, India blocked the group's bank accounts, accusing it of violating tax laws and working against its economic interests.
In a major victory for the environmental group, the Delhi high court ordered the government to unfreeze two Greenpeace bank accounts last month.
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.
India accuses the 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 laws.
His comment was in reference to EU rules requiring a bank's HQ be where it has the bulk of its activities.
Mr Carney would not say if he was for or against a post "Yes" currency union.
The SNP welcomed Mr Carney's "neutrality" but the pro-Union Better Together campaign said the party's position on currency was not credible.
The banking boss was giving evidence to Westminster's Treasury committee.
Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom asked him: "If Scotland votes for independence and joins the EU are you saying that RBS would have to move to the UK, the remaining UK?"
The governor replied: "It's a distinct possibility but I shouldn't prejudge it.
"It depends on their arrangements as well, if they were to adjust more into Scotland the mind and management of the institution."
The BBC's Robert Peston has reported that the relevant European directive, Council Directive 95/26/EC of 29 June 1995, had never been tested in the courts.
Mr Carney also told MPs that any "informal adoption of sterling" by an independent Scotland without a currency union would mean the country losing the lender of last resort facilities of the Bank of England.
Conservative MP David Ruffley asked if the Bank would support RBS and Lloyds if an independent Scotland adopted the pound with no currency union.
Mr Carney told the committee that the bank "can act as lender of last resort to branches and subsidiaries of foreign banks" but it did not have to.
The governor described a currency union as a "political question which the major political parties have ruled out" but added that the Bank of England had "done work on these issues" and "was well appraised of the potential risks".
He said his own speech on the subject in Edinburgh in January, when he talked of countries which are involved in a currency union having to cede some sovereignty, was a "technocratic assessment".
Mr Carney added: "At no time have I said that I do not support or that I advocate a currency union."
Ms Leadsom asked whether Scotland would have to adopt its own currency before joining the euro, as an alternative to continuing to use the pound.
Mr Carney said it was a matter of "European law" and whether the remainder of the UK without Scotland was regarded as a continuing state in the EU, but said he took the views of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso as a "starting point".
He continued: "Scotland would have to apply to join the European Union [and] that application, as for any new application to join the European Union, would include a commitment to join the euro in the fullness of time."
Mr Barroso has said that it would be "extremely difficult" for an independent Scotland to join the EU, a claim the Scottish government has described as "pretty preposterous".
Voters in Scotland will decide whether it should be an independent country in a referendum on 18 September.
A spokesman for the pro-Union Better Together campaign said: "What people in Scotland need is clarity from Alex Salmond about his Plan B for what would replace the pound.
"Would we have to sign up to the euro, as Mark Carney said, or would we set up an unproven separate currency?
"No doubt Alex Salmond's response will be the same as every other time an expert has questioned his plans - Mark Carney is wrong and only the first minister is right. It simply isn't credible."
SNP Treasury spokesman Stewart Hosie, a member of the committee, said: "I am pleased the governor took this opportunity to confirm the Bank of England's neutrality on the issue of Scottish independence, and that his Edinburgh speech was a technical assessment of currency unions, not a judgment on independence.
"Mark Carney was clear that the issue he wanted to get across was the nature of the stability arrangements which are required for the formation of a successful currency union.
"I am pleased that the Scottish government's Fiscal Commission Working Group have described in detail a blueprint for such a successful currency union."
The group, chaired by economist Crawford Beveridge, recently reiterated its view that a formal currency union was the best option for an independent Scotland, saying it had "clear advantages for the rest of the UK".

An estimated 1.5 million migrants work in Qatar, many in the construction boom fuelled by Qatar's successful bid.
Qatar denies exploiting workers and says it has implemented a range of labour reforms.
Qatar's migrant worker population is expected to reach two million within the next two years, Amnesty says.
"Too little has been done to address rampant migrant labour abuse. Qatar's persistent labour reform delays are a recipe for human rights disaster," said Mustafa Qadri, Gulf migrant rights researcher for Amnesty.
Amnesty said Qatar had failed to make changes in several key areas, including giving workers the freedom to change jobs, to leave the country and the right to join unions.
A May 2015 report by Amnesty identified nine fundamental migrant labour rights issues.
In Tuesday's report, Amnesty says Qatar has seriously failed to address five of them, including:
The kafala system currently only allows workers to leave the country or switch jobs with the approval of their employer, and this will not change after the reform comes into force.
Late payment of wages is a widespread problem that leaves migrant workers and their families back home in desperate situations, Amnesty says.
Qatar's labour ministry has declined to comment on the statement, the AFP news agency reports.

"I have expressed only 10% - 90% is still inside. I don't think I will be able to do it, I think I have to take that with me to my grave," he told an interviewer last March.
His peers and admirers marvelled at the energy of this indefatigable painter - artist Anjolie Ela Menon says he "ran ahead of all of us - he had such energy".
So much so that he declared five years ago that he planned to work on "three major projects": histories of Indian civilisation, "other civilisations" and a history of "cinema which is close to my heart".
Husain was a protean maverick who embraced the free market, took to making cinema, angered Hindu radicals at home with his provocative work, gamely took leaving India in his stride, accepted Qatari nationality and loved fast cars, including a red Ferrari that he owned.
When his admirers in India got worked up about his self-imposed exile, he calmly told an interviewer: "Nothing is stopping me; I can return tomorrow. But please know I remain an Indian painter whether I am painting in Paris, London, New York or Qatar."
Husain was born in Pandharpur in Maharashtra in western India in 1915. His father was an accountant in a textile mill. His homemaker mother died when he was two years old.
Her passing made a strong impression on him "as seen in his portrayal of his mother", writes Najma Husain in her book, Husain's Art.
His artistic abilities were noticed by the family with his easy mastery of the Arabic calligraphy he had to learn as a young boy. Husain would sell his school books to buy painting materials and he loved to paint landscapes.
A self-taught artist, his impulses were awakened by the street art and the colours and sights he would observe as he rode his bicycle as a boy.
Husain travelled to Mumbai (then Bombay) from his home town as an 18-year-old to chase his dreams of being a filmmaker.
However his first job was painting cinema signboards to support his wife and family.
Working on billboards and hoardings helped him paint using bold lines and deep colours on large canvases when he turned to painting murals and large works of art.
He embraced the street around him, living in bazaar lanes where prostitutes and street vendors peddled their wares.
Husain rose to prominence as a painter in the 1940s.
Following India's independence he joined the Progressive Artist's Group, a bold new breed of artists like Francis Newton Souza, SH Raza and Akbar Padamsee.
The group wanted to break free from the traditions and sought freedom in content and technique.
Their bold themes were considered anarchic as they brought Indian elements to Expressionist styles and Cubist forms.
Artists were considered an elite group who enjoyed the patronage of the royals in pre-Independence India. Husain's arrival on the art scene soon after Independence in 1947 was hailed as both anarchic and liberating.
Until his last he was considered a maverick, instantly recognisable with his uncombed mane of hair. He chose to go barefoot, like most poor Indians, twirling an oversized paint brush at posh parties and coffee shops.
Husain remained a painter who enjoyed street art, and the colour and popular forms of art.
But he was most captivated by the cinema and loved the moving images that had an impact until the very end of his career.
His first film Through the Eyes of a Painter was made in 1967 and won a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
The Bollywood-loving artist also made films in Hindi that celebrated Indian women, especially peasants and women in traditional dress.
His series of lithographs and oils on Madhuri Dixit, a Bollywood diva of the 1990s, were very popular. He directed the film Gaja Gamini as a tribute to the actress in whom he said he had found a muse.
He also directed a film, Meenaxi - A Tale of Three Cities. The lead was played by another Bollywood actress, Tabu, whose grace Husain said inspired him to make the film.
Husain belongs to the elite club of Indian painters like Tyeb Mehta and SH Raza whose works have sold for more than $1m.
In 2008, Husain's Battle of Ganga and Yamuna sold at Christies for $1.6m even as protesters lined outside the auction house condemning him.
His critics accused him of selling out to the market, but Husain remained unfazed.
He would paint a mural as a gift after a good meal at a small roadside cafeteria in Calcutta and also draw huge crowds to his painting of a mural set to Indian classical music that was bought for an exorbitant amount.
Towards the end of his life Husain was attacked and reviled by right-wing groups and people who found his paintings of bare-breasted Hindu goddesses offensive.
He was dejected and left the country following court orders targeting his properties across India.
But he never showed any bitterness towards his homeland. "What has happened with me is a small thing. We remain a free country," he told an interviewer last year.
Husain's enduring legacy would be of a liberal who embraced all forms of beauty and colour around him. India's streets and culture remained his enduring inspiration.
"Is your life like a red Ferrari?" an interviewer asked him as he took to the wheels of his favourite car some time ago.
"You can say so," said Husain of a life lived to the brim.
Sudha G Tilak is a Delhi-based writer on art and culture.
The three are Richard Usher, Rohan Ramchandani and Chris Ashton,
They worked at, respectively, the banks JP Morgan, Citigroup and Barclays.
The charges are a follow-up after those banks, along with RBS, paid $2.5bn in fines in May 2015, after pleading guilty to conspiring to rig foreign exchange rates.
In a statement the US Department of Justice said the three men were charged over their "alleged roles in a conspiracy to manipulate" the price of US dollars and euros in the foreign currency exchange spot market.
"We previously secured criminal convictions of the financial institutions involved in the misconduct," said Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Bill Baer.
"Today we seek to hold accountable the individuals who conspired on their behalf."
According to the indictment, between December 2007 and January 2013 a group of traders known as "the Cartel" or "the Mafia" including Mr Usher, Mr Ramchandani and Mr Ashton, "conspired to fix prices and rig bids for the euro-US dollar currency pair".
The DoJ statement also said the former bank traders were alleged to have "gained an unfair advantage on their counterparts by committing corporate fraud involving the manipulation of the foreign currency exchange".
Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said: "Whether a crime is committed on the street corner or in the corner office, no one gets a free pass simply because they were working for a corporation when they broke the law."
"Today's indictment reiterates our commitment to holding individuals accountable for corporate misconduct," she added.
In March 2016 the UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) closed its criminal investigation into allegations of price-rigging in the foreign exchange market.
It was set up in 2014 to look into allegations of "fraudulent conduct".
The SFO said it had concluded "based on the information and material we have obtained, that there is insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction".
At the time it said it would continue to liaise with the Department of Justice over its investigation.
The May 2015 fines paid by the banks were part of a second wave of regulatory sanctions against big international banks for rigging forex rates, almost every day, between 2007 and 2012.
Earlier, in November 2014, six banks were collectively fined £2.6bn by UK and US regulators over attempts by some of their traders to manipulate foreign exchange rates.
In that case, the rate-rigging which the authorities uncovered had been going on since 2008.
Chris and Colin Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, won £161m when their numbers came up on 12 July last year.

Speaking as they celebrated the anniversary of their win, they said it was a "privilege" to be able to support causes close their heart.
Mr Weir said: "It has been quite a year, exciting and challenging in equal measure, but we couldn't be happier.
"There is still an overwhelming sense of good fortune - we were incredibly lucky and will never forget that.
"But, a year on, the biggest change in our life is that we can now support causes close to our hearts in a more meaningful way.
"It is a privilege to be in a position to see a situation where help is needed and be able to do something about it."
The couple helped raise funds for local 15-year-old tennis hopeful Ross Wilson to attend a tennis academy in Barcelona and 15-year-old race driver Gregor Ramsay to attend the European and Italian F3 European Abarth.
They have also donated money to help refurbish sports facilities for the National Sports Training Centre Inverclyde and the Largs Thistle Community Club, and helped secure the future of the Waverley, the world's last ocean-going paddle steamer.
Mr Weir added: "What we've done in the last 12 months is to achieve a balance between enjoying our new life to the full with recognising the real difference we can now make to others' lives.
"We are currently in the process of setting up our charitable trust, which will support individuals, groups and charities across Scotland who are struggling to gain funds from the more traditional or mainstream grant makers.
"For us, that seems the best way for us to go on sharing our good luck."
The new Lib Dem leader told the BBC that he wanted to occupy the "vast middle ground in British politics that's largely been abandoned".
He added that he had worked with Mr Macron in the past and the two "had a very similar approach".
Sir Vince became Lib Dem leader on Thursday after no-one opposed him.
His predecessor, Tim Farron, stood down after a disappointing general election in which the party increased its number of MPs from nine to 12 but saw its vote share fall to 7.4%.
Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron won the French presidential election in May with 66% of the vote, defeating far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and ending the decades-long dominance of French politics by the two traditional left-wing and right-wing parties.
In June, his La République en Marche (Republic on the Move) party and its MoDem ally won a majority of seats in France's National Assembly.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, former Business Secretary Sir Vince said Mr Macron, who was previously economy minister in Francois Hollande's government, "was my opposite number in the French government and we talked often and had a very similar approach".
He added: "His basic message to the French people, who were very tired and disillusioned by the traditional right and the traditional left, is that you need something else which is moderate, middle of the road, certainly for reform. And that's exactly the formula that I and my party can offer."
He said that, in the UK: "The Tories have effectively been taken over by hard line anti-Europe zealots and equally, we've got the Labour Party in the hands of the hard left.
"What I call the centre ground of moderation and common sense has largely been abandoned and we should occupy it."
At 39, Mr Macron became France's youngest president.
Sir Vince, who is 74 and has been involved in politics since the 1970s, was asked how he could offer "something new and refreshing".
The Lib Dem leader observed that US President Donald Trump and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn "may have different policies but they're my generation".
He added: "Novelty for its own sake seems to me to have little merit." | Clashes between riot police and migrants angry at being prevented from entering Macedonia from Greece have left up to 40 people injured.

Elin Jones said the party's three point "Cancer Contract", would help give the NHS the "fundamental change" it needed.
The plans renewed a pledge that patients would get a cancer diagnosis or the all clear within 28 days.
Welsh ministers warned the policy could result in patients being misdiagnosed or waiting longer for treatment.
In October, 81% of patients diagnosed with cancer began treatment within 62 days, well below the 95% target and down from 85.6% in September.
In December, Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething announced 100-day plans had been drawn up by health boards to improve cancer services and waiting times.
On Tuesday, Ms Jones said Labour ministers had not met their own performance targets for the NHS over the past five years.
"We think there needs to be fundamental change there, and that's why we're putting forward interesting and radical proposals for the future of the NHS," she told BBC Wales.
Plaid also promised a "new treatments fund" would improve access to new cancer drugs "based on what your doctor prescribe not your postcode", as well as one-to-one support for all patients before, during and after cancer treatment.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "The majority of people diagnosed with cancer are diagnosed within the first half of the 62-day pathway but the length of time to diagnosis can vary for clinical reasons - lung cancers can be very difficult to diagnose, for example.
"We would reject any idea that would potentially lead to patients being misdiagnosed, not being diagnosed at all to meet a new target or any proposal that would lengthen the time patients wait to start treatment."
The Welsh Conservatives accused Plaid Cymru of producing a "pale imitation" of their Cancer Patients Fund.
China's Tian built a 3-1 lead at the interval, aided by a break of 106.
World number 11 Walden levelled at 4-4 with breaks of 92, 80 and 86, but Tian made a 70 and 64 to seal victory.
There were wins for world number one Mark Selby and world champion Stuart Bingham, while Marco Fu made a 137 in a 6-2 win over Matthew Stevens.
In the first professional tournament to be held in Daqing, Selby, seeking his first title of the season, enjoyed a 6-3 win over Mike Dunn and Bingham eased to a 6-1 win over Steven Hallworth, closing out victory with a run of 80.
Michael Wild, who recorded a shock 6-0 win over world number seven Judd Trump in the qualifying round, lost by the same scoreline to Sanderson Lam while, in the wildcard round, 1997 world champion Ken Doherty, 46, scored a 6-2 win over Chen Zifan.
Barry Hawkins came from 3-1 down to beat Chris Wakelin 6-4 with a break of 112, while two-time former world champion Mark Williams saw off Ian Burns 6-3 with a best effort of 93.
Last year's runner-up Mark Allen beat fellow Ulsterman Joe Swail 6-4, Chinese prodigy Zhou Yuelong beat Martin Gould 6-2 and Anthony McGill top scored with 84 in a 6-0 whitewash of Sean O'Sullivan.
The 23-year-old has fired four goals in his last three games for Arsenal, after his £16m move from Manchester United.
It is the perfect riposte to those who have suggested the frontman isn't clinical enough, including United manager Louis van Gaal.

"If you are getting goals and a run of games in your preferred position, your confidence will grow," Welbeck said.
Asked to explain why he allowed Welbeck to join Premier League rivals Arsenal on transfer deadline day, Van Gaal had pointed to the striker's record in front of goal.
"He played three seasons for the first team, but he doesn't have the record of Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney, and that is the standard," the Dutchman said.
Welbeck netted 29 times in 142 United appearances, compared to Rooney's 217 goals in 445 matches and Van Persie's 48 in 78 games.
But the striker was used out of position for the majority of his time at Old Trafford, often playing on the wing.
At Arsenal, he is leading the line and says that has made all the difference.
"Obviously people can say I have not scored enough goals, but you stick the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score," said Welbeck, who hit a Champions League hat-trick against Galatasaray on Wednesday.
"Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don't really see me playing in a forward position too often.
"But now I am getting into these positions I want to be sticking the ball in the back of the net. I am sure it's the same with every other striker."
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said he had been impressed with the manner in which Welbeck has started his Arsenal career.
"You can see that he's improving," said Wenger. "That is very positive and there's a lot more to come from him,"
Arsenal face Premier League leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, before Welbeck turns his attention to England's Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia.
The striker led the line in England's opening qualifier last month in Switzerland and scored both goals in a 2-0 win.
Strachan's side remain fourth in the Group F table after Saturday's 2-2 draw with leaders England.
"It definitely is a possibility," said former Scotland winger Nevin of their chances of finishing group runners-up.
"The manager's getting the best out of the group he's got. Is anyone better than him around? I doubt it."
The eight best runners-up in Europe's nine groups go into the play-offs to reach the finals in Russia.
But Strachan's side presently lie four points behind second-top Slovakia and three off Slovenia.
"Slovakia play Slovenia next and if they draw and everything else goes to plan, i.e. England win all their games, then Scotland have to win all their games," said former winger Nevin.
"So it is a possibility and Strachan knows it is that much of a possibility - not a certainty, not even a probability.
"But, if you play with the heart the way Scotland did at the weekend there, there is a chance, but it is no more than that."
It was expected that Strachan's future as head coach would again be questioned had they lost to England.
However, Nevin thinks the former Celtic boss continues to do a good job even though Harry Kane's stoppage-time equaliser was another blow to Scotland's qualification chances.
"I don't think he'll want to stay when we're finally out of it and he suggested that," Nevin added.
"You don't generally get more out of that group than he gets out of them - phenomenal work-rate, great spirit and keep on fighting until the end.
"Look at the amount of late goals Scotland have already scored in this campaign, not just the two against England.
"Any managers in any sport, in business, you name it, what's your job? You maximise what you can get out of the personalities you've got there.
"He does that 100%. Is there anybody else in the wings we should be playing?
"Well, there's nobody out there that's any better. There's some that are similar to the players that we've got."
Meanwhile, Nevin thinks Leigh Griffiths' two goals against England - the first time he has found the net in 13 internationals - should settle the question of who should be first-choice striker.
"He worked his socks off in that game and he was up against decent players," Nevin said.
"Given the opportunity, he will probably score goals. He missed a couple of chances, but let's forget about them because those two free-kicks were absolutely astonishing.
"It didn't surprise me that he scored them, but what was really disappointing was that it didn't surprise me that Scotland also blew it at the end as well. We've done it so many times before."

Michael Riggon, of West Bromwich Street, Caldmore, Walsall appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Mr Riggon, 53, is also charged with actual bodily harm and is due before the same court on 3 August. He has been remanded in custody.
The incident was one of the first successful submarine rescues - after a further 48 men onboard were saved.
The vessel, K13, was taking part in its final sea trials when seawater entered its engine room, causing an explosion.
Among those who died were workers from Fairfields shipyard in Govan, which had built the vessel.
A total of 80 men were onboard K13 as it prepared for a final dive.
Although the manoeuvre began well, the captain, Lt Cmdr Godfrey Herbert was unable to settle the vessel on an even trim, and at a depth of 20ft (6m) the boiler room reported that the compartment was flooding.
K13 eventually settled on the bottom of the loch, 50ft (16m) below the surface.
The torpedo room was completely flooded and 31 men in the engine room were drowned.
An Admiralty Inquiry later heard from divers who reported finding four 37in (94cm) ventilators over the boiler room open, indicators in the boiler room set open and the engine-room hatch undone.
Cdr Francis Goodhart, who was an observer on the vessel in preparation for his own submarine's completion, volunteered to attempt to escape to the surface to organise a rescue.
But as he left the conning tower, he was blown by high-pressure air against the super-structure, and killed, leaving Lt Cdr Herbert to raise the alarm.
Cdr Goodhart was posthumously awarded the Albert Medal in Gold For Gallantry in Saving Life at Sea.
But it took a total of 57 hours before an airline could be attached to the sunken vessel, giving the survivors vital oxygen, and allowing the submarine's bow to be raised.
Rescuers then cut a hole in the hull to allow the remaining 48 men onboard to be freed.
Sunday's ceremony is organised by the Submariners' Association (SA) and held every year at Faslane Cemetery which is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
SA chairman Jim McMaster said it was important to remember both the dead and the skill of those who carried out a successful rescue.
He said: "It is right and proper that we remember those who have gone before us, the brave men who earned the reputation we enjoy today.
"It is natural that we commemorate those 32 unfortunate men who died in this accident but we should not lose sight of the fact that this was also a very successful submarine rescue for 48 men.
"Even by today's standard, this is a major achievement."
K13 was raised from the Gareloch in March 1917 and returned to service seven months later as HMS K22.
Since the tragedy, no Royal Navy vessel has borne the number 13.
Colin Kerr, director of external relations for CWGC, said: "CWGC has looked after the graves of the men of the K13 for a hundred years. This is what we do.
"It is very important to us that attention is still paid to these men and that their graves are visited and their lives remembered."
During the ceremony, submariners past and present will pay their respects, along with relatives of some of those who died.
It will end with a march to the grave of Cdr Goodhart.
Rear Adm John Weale, head of the UK's Submarine Service, said: "The men who perished in K13 were, in many respects, pioneers who pushed the boundaries to gain an operational advantage over potential adversaries.
"Today's submariners recognise that the submarines they operate are not only safer, but also more effective, because we have learned from the experience of our predecessors.
"In this respect, the special bravery, ethos and comradeship of submariners and the submarine service endures."
The 26-year-old South Korea international has featured just three times for the R's this season, with his last appearance coming on 28 November.

The result moves Carrick up to 10th place in the table and blows the Premiership title race wide open again.
"It's a massive three points for us, but only if we kick on from this.
"Nobody expected us to get anything out of the game but we stood up and fought for everything and the goals we scored were absolute quality," said Haveron.
"We have to be clever in recovering between now and Saturday. We'll try and go into the Glentoran game in the best shape we possibly can."
The Carrick boss singled out on-loan Linfield player Adam Salley for special praise after the game and admitted that a melee late in the game, which saw Haveron and Crues midfielder Josh Robinson sent-off, marred an otherwise successful night.
"Adam ran all over the place - he has been absolutely fantastic since he came on loan from Linfield. This goal caps the performances he has been putting in.
"The end soured things a little bit. Years ago a player would have got away with a tackle like that but when you go off the ground with your studs showing. even if you get a little bit of the ball, it is reckless.
"There was a bit of a melee but certainly no punches thrown. I'm not sure what the referee sent me off for but hopefully they will take a a look at it and review it."
Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter preferred not to comment on the melee in the dying minutes but lamented that his side "did not do what they were meant to do" as they saw their lead at the top of the table reduced to five points.
"One or two of our players had an off night. You can't leave yourself vulnerable at the back the way we did - we made terrible mistakes to allow them to score their goals.
"We threw ourselves at it trying to pull it back and gave it our all but it was not good enough on the night. Carrick worked incredibly hard, threw themselves at every single ball and ran out worthy winners.
"For our part, we have to move on quickly and we have another game on Saturday to look ahead to."
"He left us a few months ago but he still brings his dirty washing round," said Arthur Benton, who - along with partner Ann - was Iorfa's landlord during his formative years in the Championship club's academy.
"My washing machine was broken at one point so they were doing [the washing] for a spell," replied Iorfa, 19, with a smile. "I still take it over every now and again. Just my white stuff, so that it doesn't get stained."
Perhaps Arthur and Ann should start stocking up on polish for Iorfa's shiny new trophy. His performances in January earned him the Football League's Young Player of the Month award.
Iorfa started all four league matches in an unbeaten month for Wolves, who conceded just two goals in those games, both coming in a 2-2 draw at Bolton on 31 January.
Clean sheets against Blackburn, Blackpool and Charlton helped Kenny Jackett's side return to play-off contention after a poor run of form, and further cemented Iorfa's first-team place just a month after his Wolves debut.
Iorfa told BBC Sport: "I've seen some of the other players that have won it and they are all good young players who have been doing really well.
"For me to be in that list of winners is very good and I'm very happy. It's been a good few months for me and I just want to push on from here."
In an era in which youngsters move across the country and, in some cases, the continent to sign for their chosen team, having a stable environment away from football is crucial to a player's progression.
Iorfa, the son of a former Nigeria international of the same name who played for several English clubs including Queens Park Rangers and Peterborough, grew up in Southend before being spotted by Wolves at the age of 15 and relocating to Wolverhampton.
Any anxiety about leaving Essex so young soon disappeared, and after a few months at another lodging, Iorfa moved to the place he would call "home" for more than two years.
"The club put me with Ann and Arthur and I was with a few other lads from the same youth team," he said. "They looked after me really well and I'm really grateful to them because everything they did for me was to help my football.
"I was 15 or 16 when I moved away and it was something similar to home, which is good and it helps you settle in.
"All the players welcomed me. That helps as well. If I'd gone somewhere I didn't like and I didn't get along with people, it would have been a bit of a struggle, but everyone was really nice and the club has been very good as well."
Wolves head coach Jackett added: "The support system set up in our academy for our young players is very important. It's important at the club, but it is also just as important for when they are away from the club.
"Whether it's family, friends, or the landlords and landladies, the support system in place behind the scenes is vital. At Wolves, this is something that the staff work very hard at, making sure the players are all settled."
A loan spell in League One with Shrewsbury Town last season gave Iorfa his first seven appearances in senior football. "It toughened me up and got me used to what men's football is about," he said.
A four-game losing run prompted Jackett to hand Iorfa his Wolves debut against Bournemouth on 6 December.
On that day, few were more proud than Benton, a long-time Wolves supporter who follows the team home and away.
"This is about the 12th season that we've had kids with us," he said. "The only one that's really made it at Wolves out of all of them is Dom, and he's come on leaps and bounds.
"All of a sudden, he's got in the first team and he looks like he's been there for ages.
"You want him to do well. You are proud, more for them than yourself, because you've seen them develop and you've helped to nurture them. And also, you've got to thank Kenny for giving him a go."
Wolves are proud of their record of developing young players. Robbie Keane and Joleon Lescott are among their previous success stories, and several more have been given their chance at Molineux since Jackett was appointed in the summer of 2013.
Jackett rebuilt his squad, having inherited a group that had suffered consecutive relegations from the Premier League to League One.
Youngsters such as Danny Batth, Jack Price, Lee Evans and Ethan Ebanks-Landell helped Wolves surge to the League One title last season and have pushed them to the brink of the top six this term.
Iorfa and fellow defender Kortney Hause are the latest teenagers to get their chance in the senior side and Jackett remains committed to the policy of promoting youth.
A new state-of-the-art academy facility costing around £7m, which was officially opened late in 2014, should ensure the ex-Millwall boss will continue to have plenty of young talent at his disposal.
"We are a club that produces its own players and we want to carry on doing that," he said. "A lot of people work very hard behind the scenes at developing these players and helping to bring them through.
"When I came into the club, I felt that a new group was needed and that will continue to have to move on - it is very important for us. Giving these younger players the chance and the opportunity to play first-team football is key."
As for Iorfa, who is stunned and delighted that he already has his own terrace chant at Molineux, the aims for the remainder of the season are clear.
"Keep doing well, keep improving and stay in the team," said the England Under-20 international. "Hopefully, as a club, we can all make it into the Premier League.
"There are about 15 games left and we're about five points outside the play-offs. The last few results haven't been the best but we're a good enough team. If everyone performs to their best ability, we should be fine."
The policy at Archbishop Sentamu Academy has been designed to stop students from avoiding learning during class hours, the school said.
But angry parents are outraged at the move, with some saying it could damage their children's health.
The school said pupils can use the toilet if they have written permission or a doctor's note.

John Manolasses, who has a daughter at the school, said: "She gets upset when she has to hold it in.
"She has been having pain."
He said the school should rethink the policy.
"If they definitely need to go they should go," he added.
Another parent, Catherine Glover, said she was also concerned about her daughter's health.
She said: "She is getting poorly because of it.
"I want her to do well in school and I do not want her off school with bladder problems."
Another parent posted on social media: "My child goes here and I said if she's refused toilet at any time she walks out, it's a basic human need, it's not like they are asking for snack breaks."
Executive principal Andrew Chubb said only four parents had contacted him with concerns about the new policy.
He said: "It would seem to us that the vast majority of our parents agree it [the policy] is sensible.
"This rule is about making sure children have the maximum amount of time learning and making sure there is the minimum disruption to learning in classes."
Mr Chubb said students had plenty of opportunities outside lessons to use the toilet and pupils with a medical reason would not be refused permission.
The school has more than 1,400 pupils, aged between 11 and 18.
The 29-year-old former Manchester City trainee joined the Dons from Brentford in May 2014 following a successful loan spell at Pittodrie.
The right-back, who has scored 13 goals in 161 appearances for Aberdeen, had been linked with a return south to be closer to his family.
But after signing a three-year contract he told RedTV: "I am happy to be here, so the new deal was very welcome."
And he added: "The reason I am staying is because of the way I have been treated by the club and the fans. I have been looked after very well.
"I am glad the club and the manager have faith in me and that they want me to stick around."
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes hopes Logan can remain a favourite of the Dons support.
"It is clear how much he enjoys it here at Pittodrie and how much affection he has for the supporters," said the Dons boss.
"I am sure the fans would join me in applauding the commitment he has shown."
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned "evil people" were conspiring against Egypt and urged Egyptians to trust him.
He said the islands of Sanafir and Tiran always belonged to Saudi Arabia.
And he said the probe into Giulio Regeni's killing was being carried out with "utmost transparency".
His comments, broadcast live on state television, came after a week in which he had faced intense criticism on both issues.
President Sisi's announcement that Egypt would hand over Sanafir and Tiran was made during a rare visit by Saudi King Salman in which he pledged billions in aid and investment to Egypt.
The decision sparked fierce anger among commentators.
Mr Sisi said that Saudi Arabia had asked Egypt in 1950 to protect the two islands, situated at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba, from Israel.
"We did not surrender our rights, but we restored the rights of others," Mr Sisi said. "Egypt did not relinquish even a grain of sand. All the data and documents say nothing except that this particular right is theirs."
He went on to say: "Please let us not talk about this subject again. There is a parliament that you elected which will debate the accord. It will either ratify or reject it."
On the subject of questions over the killing of Giulio Regeni, Mr Sisi condemned the Egyptian media for focusing on speculation circulating on social media and Egyptians for believing it.
The body of Mr Regeni, which showed signs of torture, was found dumped near Cairo on 3 February.
The 28-year-old student had been researching trade unions, a politically sensitive subject in Egypt, when he went missing in Cairo on 25 January.
"The moment his death was announced, people from among us said the security services did it," he said. "We do this to ourselves.
"There are people of evil among us working on sabotaging our achievements by promoting lies. And by sharing what they promote, we have created a problem for Egypt," he went on to say.
Egypt insists a criminal gang was behind his death, but the claim was branded "implausible and risible" by a number of academics who have been pressing the UK government to intervene in the case.
A petition demanding clarification on "what action it will take to ensure a credible investigation into Giulio's murder" has now been signed by more than 10,500 people meaning the government must now provide an official response.
Italy recalled its ambassador to Egypt last Friday after Cairo refused its request for phone records for the areas where Mr Regeni went missing.
More than 300 of the posts are aimed at qualified accountants, as well as graduates, in the company's new financial advisory service.
The other 500 jobs be graduates recruited for "staff augmentation" teams in PwC's global client businesses.
The average salary is £21,000.
The jobs represent an investment of over £40m, including an Invest NI grant of more than £4m.
It is the latest in a series of major investments by professional services firms in Belfast.
In September, Deloitte said it would create 338 jobs at its 'digital hub', currently based in the city's Gas Works.
Earlier this year, EY said it was adding almost 500 jobs to its Belfast operation.
PwC in Northern Ireland already employs over 1,000 people, and has increased by more than 300 over the past two years.
The Belfast office has a number of centres of excellence which support the wider global business in areas such as data analytics and cyber security.
Paul Terrington, PwC regional chairman, said the decision to locate two new projects in Northern Ireland "reflects our confidence in the high standard of the local graduate pool".
"Over the years we've benefited from strong local talent, recruiting both accountancy graduates and graduates from other disciplines," he said.
First Minister Peter Robinson said the investment was "a tremendous boost to the Northern Ireland economy and is another significant vote of confidence in Northern Ireland's talent".
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said local graduates would be "the foundation" for PwC's business activities worldwide.
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.

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. | The future of the Welsh NHS will be Plaid Cymru's "top priority" in May's assembly election, its health spokeswoman has said.

The woman was not asked to plead in the Pietermaritzburg magistrates court and will be held in custody until the case continues on 26 October.
She was arrested after an agent posed as a buyer, a police spokesman said.
The 19-month-old boy has been handed over to social workers.
"Someone alerted us to the advert. We made contact with the young lady and met with her undercover on Tuesday," Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi told the BBC.
"We had told her that we would make the cash transaction she asked for. We arrested her as soon as we met with her," he said.
After the woman was charged, the case was postponed to allow the police more time to investigate.
Gumtree has been co-operating with investigators, the police said.
Brig Mulaudzi said the initial advert was immediately red-flagged by Gumtree, and removed.
He said a second advert was then placed, with the heading: "baby car seat" and placed in the Baby and Kids sale section. | A 20-year-old woman has been charged with human trafficking in South Africa after allegedly trying to sell her child for 5,000 rand ($380; £250) on advertising website Gumtree. | 34,549,278 | 236 | 45 | false |
He has made much of the company's work in Africa and bringing down that continent's drugs bill. GSK's research capability is widely regarded as some of the best in the world.
So, the pain of the allegations coming out of China must be particularly acute.
The contents of the emails sent by the person (or people), known as "gskwhistleblower", to GSK alleging corruption among Chinese sales teams makes for sobering reading. What is striking is the amount of detail, with email addresses, precise drug names and internal projects all written about by someone who clearly knows the business well.
Whether what they say is right, of course, is another matter.
Two emails sent in January and May last year talk of "aggressive sales tactics", "bribery" and wrongful payments made to thousands of doctors. The emails offer to provide more information.
Following a series of questions sent by the BBC to GSK yesterday, the company responded with its fullest account yet of what it believes has - and hasn't - happened.
"The issues relating to our China business are very difficult and complicated," it said.
"GSK takes all whistle-blowing allegations very seriously and actively encourages whistle-blowers to come forward if they have concerns.
"Investigations into the allegations made in January 2013 about GSK's business in China were conducted over several months with the support of external legal and audit advice.
"Some fraudulent behaviour relating to expense claims was identified, and this resulted in employee dismissals and further changes to our monitoring procedures in China. However, this investigation did not find evidence to substantiate the specific allegations made in the emails."
The key for Sir Andrew's reputation is how he handled the allegations once they came to his attention.
GSK says it used both in-country and international investigators - freeing them from the allegation that the Chinese arm of the business (accused of systematic corruption) was simply investigating itself.
I understand that a report was completed by May or June 2013 that did find irregularities, but nowhere near the scale alleged in the email.
The fact that Peter Humphrey, the investigator hired by GSK to look at the separate issue of a covert video recording of a senior GSK China executive, Mark Reilly, having sex, found that the allegations were "credible" does not help Sir Andrew.
Mr Humphrey, who is now in detention in China, appears to have had limited access to GSK material beyond that pertinent to the tape - the existence of which was first revealed by The Sunday Times last weekend.
Which raises the question - if he was investigating the sex tape which was part of the overall allegations against GSK in China, why wasn't he given the other incendiary emails earlier in the process?
Mr Humphrey sent a message from prison - seen by the BBC - which says that he feels "cheated". GSK has some serious questions to answer about how it treated Mr Humphrey, who is facing trial next month, possibly in secret.
It wasn't until the Chinese authorities announced their own investigation into allegations of corruption within GSK in July that the business made any public comment.
Asked about this lengthy delay, GSK said: "We inform the financial markets in relation to all material matters following internal and external legal advice. We are confident we have satisfied all our disclosure requirements."
So far, GSK's share price has hardly flickered since the allegations became public. Investors will be waiting to see the level of any fines the Chinese authorities might impose before voting with their wallets.
And whether anything uncovered reveals wider spread issues about GSK operates. Don't forget, in 2012 GSK was fined $3bn in America for fraudulently promoting drugs for unapproved use and failing to report safety data to the Food and Drug Administration.
The company insists it has radically changed its processes since then - both in America and China.
And it appears that at present the board is satisfied with how GSK's executives are handling the investigation.
China is a small part of GSK's global operations, accounting for about 3% of its revenues.
It is well behind the other big foreign players in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical sector. Astra Zeneca and Pfizer, subject of a takeover battle earlier this year, are the leading foreign drug providers in the country.
But GSK does want to keep hold of its licence. The Chinese three tier market (research and development, manufacturing and consumer) is an increasingly valuable one.
Sir Andrew does not want to pull out. He must hope that the Chinese authorities' findings come quickly and do not reveal anything which the company failed to uncover.
The legislation, proposed by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, is designed to tackle the impact of "irresponsible camping".
Camping is to be outlawed between Drymen and Rowardennan from 1 March to 31 October every year. The law comes into effect from 1 June 2011.
Those found breaching the by-laws could be fined up to £500.
The ban will be policed by park rangers and officers from Central Scotland Police.
A public consultation on the plan was held by the national park last year. Of the 286 responses, 60% were in favour of the ban, the park said.
The new seasonal laws make it an offence to camp in tents or other shelters in the nine-mile stretch between Drymen and Rowardennan, outside designated camping areas.
But the authority has said it has no plans to ban camping in other parts of the national park, which contains 21 Munros.
In a separate announcement, Scottish ministers also gave Stirling Council permission to ban people drinking alcohol in the same area as the camping ban from 1 June.
Work has now started on a new "informal" campsite at Sallochy, which will be managed by the Forestry Commission Scotland.
Dave Morris, the director of Ramblers Scotland, who campaigned against the by-laws, said he recognised a compromise had been made by making the ban seasonal.
"We are pleased that it's not an all-year ban," he said.
"But we think it would be much better if they made the by-laws apply in July and August only, so that outwith those months we could have seen what the difference was."
He said Ramblers Scotland would monitor the situation closely, adding: "Part of our reservations are fears that they would push for by-laws elsewhere. We would oppose such proposals."
But national park chief executive Fiona Logan said she did not believe there were any other areas of the park where similar bans would be "appropriate".
"We really want responsible people to come to the park and enjoy themselves," she said.
"This is about tackling anti-social behaviour and not penalising West Highland Way walkers or those people with a backpack on."
Ms Logan said the measures had been welcomed by local residents who had complained for many years about informal camping on the Lochside.
But she told BBC Scotland that the by-laws were not permanent and could be revoked if the park was confident the problems had been successfully tackled.
"We would like not to have these laws in three years," she said.
Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham said east Loch Lomond had come under "increasing pressure" from litter, camp fires and anti-social behaviour.
"These measures are designed to protect and preserve the beauty of the area whilst still providing access for responsible campers," she said.
The by-laws will be reviewed after three years.
Named under privacy laws as Michael P, 40, he admitted making a signalling error and then dialling the wrong emergency number.
His lawyer said he also admitted playing on his mobile at the time.
Michael P told survivors that he was aware he had "burdened himself with huge guilt".
"I would like you to know that my thoughts are with you," he added, in a statement read by lawyers.
Those who died in the crash at Bad Aibling on 9 February were all men aged between 24 and 59. Another 89 passengers were injured.
Prosecutors said Michael P had been playing the fantasy game "Dungeon Hunter 5" on his phone when he allowed the two trains on to a single-track line.
The court heard from one police official that the controller had regularly played on his smart phone while on shift, even though it was banned. Analysis of his phone records showed that his mobile use often corresponded with his working hours.
"He played almost every time," the official said, according to Germany's DPA news agency.
Although the line has a safety mechanism, prosecutors say the controller mistakenly disabled it, sending two commuter trains towards each other. When he tried to warn the train drivers, he then pressed the wrong alarm button, they say.
Michael P is accused of involuntary manslaughter and faces five years in jail if found guilty.
Some of the injured as well as the relatives of those who died were present when the defendant entered the court, wearing a hood to cover his face.
A lawyer representing some of the families described the confession given to the court as a tactical move, because what he had admitted was already proven.
"The really burning question remains unanswered," said Peter Duerr; how intensively had he been playing with his mobile phone at the time, and to what extent had he been distracted?
Although investigators did look into the role of the controller at the time of the disaster, it was only when they sifted through his phone data that he was fully investigated.
The record figure is eight times more than what was recovered over the previous decade, the Justice Ministry has reportedly said.
Officials say their policy of negotiating plea bargains with suspects has helped them recover assets.
Much of the money had been diverted from the state oil company Petrobras.
Dozens of executives and politicians have been arrested or are under investigation on suspicion of overcharging contracts with the company as part of an inquiry known as Operation Car Wash.
Part of the diverted money, authorities say, had been used to pay for bribes and electoral campaigns.
It is believed the scheme had cost Petrobras $2bn (£1.2bn).
By contrast, between 2005 and 2014, Brazilian officials managed to recover $15m (£10m), newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported (in Portuguese).
From the amount repatriated in 2015, $95m (£66m) was linked to the Car Wash investigation.
The money had been diverted to Switzerland and returned to Brazil, the report said, adding that most of it was expected to be returned to Petrobras.
The party, which was formed six months ago, said it would field candidates in elections starting next Spring.
Leader Sophie Walker said Parliament could have equal representation of men and women within a decade if parties prioritised women in safe seats.
She attacked other parties for thinking they could "dole out" equality.
The party, the brainchild of broadcaster Sandi Toksvig and journalist Catherine Mayer, says it is prepared to work with other parties to secure genuine equality in society but has challenged David Cameron "to put us out of business" by implementing all of its ideas.
At a policy launch in London, Ms Walker, herself a former journalist, said many of the problems facing women were a product of the fact they were not "equal decision makers", whether in politics, business or other areas of public life..
"We have made some progress but the path to shared power is taking too long to pave," she said. "So we have concluded that as a temporary measure quotas are necessary."
It was lamentable, she said, that women still made up less than a third of the Commons - 191 of the UK's 650 MPs.
"We will put Parliament into special measures for two elections. Political parties should field women in two thirds of seats, including two thirds of safe seats. We can have a 50:50 Parliament in a decade."
She also called for 75% of new peers to be women and for all publicly listed companies to have a 50:50 gender ratio on their boards and executive committees by 2025.
The party has called for action to tackle the "exorbitant" cost of childcare, which it says is stopping at least 600,000 women from either returning to the workplace or working the full hours they want to.
It has called for government-subsidised childcare to be available to all parents at the end of their parental leave, a £6.5bn commitment it says could be paid for by introducing a single rate of tax relief on pensions.
"We want women to realise their potential and we want to do that by providing a system of childcare that does not cost the earth and does not have to be waited for," Ms Walker told party supporters.
Among its other priorities are to challenge gender stereotyping in schools, to tackle discrimination against older women, to increase the rate of prosecutions for domestic violence and to make the purchase of sex a criminal offence.
"Our country has a gendered culture where men are seen as entitled to dominate and the media portrays women as sex objects," she said. "The acts of everyday sexism that permeate our culture must not be trivialised, they must be challenged and they must be defeated."
Ahead of Tuesday's launch, the party released a report suggesting women earned £245bn less than men each year in the UK.
Ms Walker accused the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems of treating equality as a political football, saying it "seems to me that they are more interested in claiming the right to deliver equality than actually deliver it".
Inside the offices of Mr Bushnell's latest start-up - Brainrush - a handful of young men are eagerly banging away on keyboards late on a Saturday afternoon. Ego doesn't seem to be much in evidence here - at least yet.
While the firm, which was created in 2010, has grand ambitions to transform US education via games, Mr Bushnell remains best-known as the man behind a very different gaming enterprise - Atari.
Now 72, he co-founded Atari, one of the world's first video game companies, back in 1972. It introduced the concept of personal computing, albeit in game form, to millions of households around the world.
Mr Bushnell is also the man who was initially behind Chuck E Cheese's, the ubiquitous pizza and gaming restaurant chain that has been the site of many a US child's birthday party (this author included).
But despite all of those early successes - and actually, partly as a result of them - the crumbling office that Mr Bushnell now finds himself in is no deliberately shabby-chic LA decision.
After his breakout success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mr Bushnell made several missteps that eventually led to some entrepreneurial failures and financial ruin.
"When I was 35, I was insufferable. I thought I could do no wrong and I got really sloppy," he says.
Now, Mr Bushnell has a habit of referring to his own entrepreneurial journey as if it were a never-developed Atari game.
Mr Bushnell has been a serial entrepreneur from a young age.
He founded a television tube repair business as a teenager that was successful partly because he took advantage of his older customers' penchant to underestimate his technical prowess by undercharging them for his services - but overcharging them for parts.
Later, he worked at amusement parks while putting himself through university to get an electrical engineering degree.
He chalks the creation of Atari up to a bit of good luck: "I was probably the only electrical engineer that understood television, and understood the coin-operated game business [from the amusement park] in 1969," he says.
By combining the popularity of arcade games as well as the nascent personal computer industry, Mr Bushnell and his partner Ted Dabney found success with games such as Pong, Asteroids, and Centipede, which were played, initially, on the Atari 2600 console.
And unlike today's efforts - in which blood and gore in games is both the norm and a scourge - Mr Bushnell said the company believed firmly that it could be successful without resorting to murder.
"We felt that, you could blow up a tank, you could blow up a plane, but we didn't want violence against a human being," he says.
Mr Bushnell also emphasises that the popularity of Atari's games was primarily due to his ability to find and hire talented, creative workers, including one you may have heard of - Steve Jobs.
"I've always valued passionate employees over anything else, and, it turns out that there's a huge percentage of the population that are actually dead - they don't know it, but, in terms of their processes, they're just waiting to be buried," says Mr Bushnell.
But Mr Jobs, like a lot of his earlier employees, had passion and as a result, "was an extremely hard worker".
"He would sleep under his desk at night, and wake up in the morning ready to go," Mr Bushnell remembers.
That unfortunately did come with a bit of a downside: "I think part of the reason [Steve] smelled bad was 'cause he wouldn't necessarily go home every day."
When Mr Bushnell decided to sell Atari to Warner Brothers in 1976 for an estimated $30m (£19m), (a move intended to expand the firm's offerings, but one Mr Bushnell says he now regrets), he carved yet another path, becoming the first of a still-growing list of 20-something Silicon Valley millionaires.
"I want Jobs and [Bill] Gates and [Mark] Zuckerberg and all of these guys to thank me for blazing some of [those trails], because it was much easier once there were several notable successes from [people] in their twenties," he says.
But with that success came hubris.
By the mid 1980s, both Chuck E Cheese and Atari had basically imploded - as had Mr Bushnell's fortunes. Later efforts, including uWink, an entertainment complex featuring food and games as well as robotic assistants, failed to take off.
But Mr Bushnell remains undeterred, and says he still thinks he has another successful effort in him. He says he's taken inspiration from his children - some of whom have eschewed university in order to immediately start their own entrepreneurial endeavours.
"How many companies have you started by the time you're 18? If the answer's zero, I wouldn't invest in you," he says of their entrepreneurial verve.
He thinks that biotechnology and virtual reality will be game changers - in addition to his efforts to revolutionise schooling in the US by capitalising on research into cutting edge brain science in order to both personalise education and to make courses more adaptable.
He basically wants to make education as addictive as Atari's old video games.
"An interesting life can't be all violins and flowers," he says.
"When you lose a game of chess, you don't go and jump off a bridge, you reset the pieces and do it again.
"It's a game!"
They relate to nine residents at the Brithdir Care Home, near Bargoed, between 2004 and 2006.
They include failing to prevent pressure sores and delays in seeking advice about an infected feeding tube.
A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel is yet to decide whether the nurses will face sanctions.
Rachel Tanta, Rachel Pritchard, Tembakazi Moyana, Beverley Mock, Daphne Richards and Susan Greening had been accused of more than 150 failings.
Other failings found proved at a hearing on Friday included failing to keep adequate records, failing to set up care plans and failing to ensure a resident was prescribed antibiotics for pressure sore when a GP said they were necessary.
There was also no record made of a resident vomiting and no contact made with a dietician in relation to it, the panel found.
A total of 18 failings were proved against Ms Tanta, a registered nurse. Five were proved against Ms Mock.
Twelve were proved against Ms Pritchard in her roles as clinical nurse manager and later nurse director.
Twenty eight were proved against mental health nurse, Miss Moyana.
Fourteen were found proved against against Ms Richards in her roles as registered nurse, acting manager and later bank nurse.
There were also nine proved against Ms Greening, who was a registered nurse and later care home manager.
A further hearing, on a date yet to determined, will be required before the disciplinary panel can decide whether the failings in each nurse's case amount to misconduct and whether their individual fitness to practise is impaired.
Any sanctions they face will then be fixed.
Last year, an NMC panel found seven misconduct charges proved against Christine Hayes, the director of nursing at the Caerphilly Local Health Board between 2003 and 2006.
She was found to have kept moving people to the home despite knowing of serious concerns over standards, and was struck off in January, this year.
Concerns were raised about Mrs Hayes' actions during a major investigation by Gwent Police into allegations of neglect in care homes, called Operation Jasmine.
The £11.6m police inquiry collapsed when the former owner of the Brithdir home, Dr Prana Das, was declared unfit to stand trial as a result of a brain injury suffered in a violent burglary.
The home - which has 40 residents with dementia, mental infirmity and learning difficulties - is now under new management.
The man told a court he awoke in his tent to find Mr Talbot making a sexual advance during a school trip to southern Scotland in the early 1980s.
He told a jury he found Mr Talbot, then a teacher at his school, stroking his hand in a sexual way.
Mr Talbot, 67, of Greater Manchester, denies assaulting several boys on school trips between 1978 and 1981.
He also denies a further charge of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards a boy aged 12.
Six of the incidents are alleged to have happened on camping excursions in Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, and three on boating trips on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness.
The 51-year-old witness, who now lives in Australia, was giving evidence on the third day of the trial at Lanark Sheriff Court.
He said Mr Talbot was a biology teacher at the school in the Manchester area where he was a pupil. He said he went on a camping trip to the St Mary's Loch area in the Borders in the 1980s, which was led by Mr Talbot.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told how the group put up their tents and then went to a pub.
The witness, who was 15 at the time, said he had three or four pints of shandy and beer, and became "merry".
When they got back to the camping area, he went to his two-man tent, in which Mr Talbot and another pupil were also due to be spending the night.
"I think I had been asleep and then I was aware that my hand was being stroked in the tent," the witness said.
"The only person who could be doing that was Mr Talbot next to me.
"I can recall (doing) something to the effect of pulling my hand away and rolling over and saying 'I don't understand you'," he said.
He told depute fiscal Imran Bashir the stroking was in a "sexual way" and added: "My feeling at the time was it was a sexual advance."
The witness said he felt "pretty embarrassed" about what had happened, adding: "I think I felt I'd been very naive about what other people had said about him, that there was actually some truth in it, it wasn't just rumour."
He said he did not report the incident at the time because it would have been "my word against his".
Mr Talbot's media career later developed and he left the school, jurors heard.
"I remember thinking it was a good thing that he'd taken himself out of the place where he was tempted into doing things that were inappropriate," the man said.
Alan Gravelle, defending, asked whether school gossip about Mr Talbot had influenced his perception of what happened.
"I would say 'no'," the witness replied.
Mr Gravelle also suggested any contact may have been inadvertent and accidental.
"There's nothing in my mind that would concur with that," the man added.
The trial continues.
The Freedom 90 had been en route from Ryde to Southsea on Saturday evening when the "major fault" occurred, forcing it to return to the island.
Images appear to show a red rudder hanging off the back of the craft.
Operator Hovertravel cancelled all services on both of its vessels while safety checks were carried out.
Its unaffected craft resumed service at 16:15 on Sunday on a revised timetable.
The damaged vessel is due to be moved to Woolston in Southampton for repair work.
A spokesman said: "An initial investigation into the propeller damage on Freedom 90 indicates that a foreign object caused the propeller blades to break.
"Freedom 90 will be moved to Woolston for repair work and will return in approximately three weeks."
Hovertravel said all passengers and crew disembarked safely after the incident and there were no reported injuries.
It apologised to customers affected by the service cancellations.
Bugatti's Veyron supercar was considered an auto-engineering masterpiece; not just carmaking, but science.
Then someone at Bugatti's owner Volkswagen decided that they should try to do better.
The result is the Chiron, unveiled at this week's Geneva Motor Show to the sort of adulation and hyperbole that greeted its predecessor 10 years ago.
While environmentalists weep, petrolheads rejoice - the world now has a new fastest production car.
"The challenge was to be better than the previous car in every dimension," company president Wolfgang Durheimer tells the BBC.
At €2.4m (£1.86m; $2.6m) each - plus taxes and delivery - the Chiron is nearly twice the price of the Veyron.
"My brief for this car was the shortest I ever had in my career. It was four words: Just do the best," he says.
With 1,500 horsepower and a top speed of 261mph (420km/h) the Chiron is 3mph faster than the Veyron. The Chiron, though, has a speed limiter. Without it, it could reach 285-287mph, Bugatti says.
The car can do 0-62mph in fractionally under 2.5 seconds, although there is no official figure yet as more speed tests are planned.
The car is lighter, but also wider and longer - only by millimetres, but that's a radical change in size for a design engineer trying to maximise performance.
"The engine is more lightweight than the Veyron. But it has more power. And I don't mean just a little bit more power," says Mr Durheimer.
"We increased the engine by 300 horsepower. This is the power of a standard road car. We achieved that order of increase."
Like the Veyron, the Chiron has an eight-litre W16 engine - four banks of four cylinders - but has received a power boost of 25% compared with its predecessor.
But this 25% increase in power doesn't translate into a 25% increase in speed. This is because at very high speeds wind resistance increases significantly, explains Professor Will Stewart of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
"To go twice as fast you need eight times the power," he says.
So greater use of lightweight titanium and carbon fibre materials helped increase the Chiron's power-to-weight ratio.
"I think that every single component on the car was re-developed or considered for re-development," says Mr Durheimer.
The single biggest challenge was how to package all that power and technology into something that also looked like a Bugatti and was comfortable to drive, says Mr Durheimer.
"A supercar is basically flat on the bottom and curved on top, so air going over the top goes faster, creating lift - the Bernoulli effect," says Prof Stewart.
"But you don't want lift, so you put a big aerofoil on the back to keep the car on the road. But that creates drag - the enemy of speed."
So to meet these challenges, Bugatti has created an all-new chassis suspension system, which adjusts depending on the driving conditions.
There are five modes, working in tandem with various aero-stability features - flaps, spoilers, diffusers - all designed to makes the Chiron glide through the air more efficiently and cool the engine and brakes.
Even the rear spoiler is dynamic, automatically adjusting its position to suit the driving conditions.
The car also needed a new cooling system to dissipate the extra engine heat. The Chiron has 10 radiators, and pumps that circulate 60,000 litres of air and 800 litres of water through the engine each minute.
If one feature gets too much "freedom" the final product becomes unbalanced, says Mr Durheimer. And yet, "if you want to be the best, you also cannot compromise."
The Chiron's greater power and speed meant building a new braking system.
The front and rear brake discs are now 20mm larger and 2mm thicker. But, being made of carbon-silicon material, they weigh less.
The discs are gripped by lighter titanium piston callipers, eight at the front and six at the rear.
And the tyres had to be redeveloped, too
"It was another big challenge. All the energy performance connects to the road through the tyres. We knew that if we wanted to go faster we needed a completely new tyre," Mr Durheimer says.
Michelin, which had pushed the boundaries of tyre technology for the Veyron, was brought in to work on the Chiron.
Neither Michelin, nor any carmaker, had facilities to put the tyres through the necessary endurance and safety tests.
"We had to use aircraft test benches to monitor performance," Mr Durheimer says. The result is a tyre 14% wider at the front, and 12% at the back, offering better braking, acceleration and wet-weather grip.
After VW's diesel emissions scandal last year and subsequent cost-cutting, there were reports that the Chiron project might be canned.
But Mr Durheimer says this was never on the cards, especially as "dieselgate" broke when the Chiron's development was already far down the line.
Even so, he had to draw up a business plan showing that the Chiron, based on sales capped at 500, would make a profit - unlike, it is widely reported, the Veyron.
"A serious business does not sack a project that is going to make a positive overall contribution to the business," he says.
Prior to the Geneva show, 170 Chirons had been sold, with the first batch due to be delivered this autumn. Several are delivered at a time, so no one can claim "I was the first".
But where can these mega-rich owners legally and safely test such a car to its limits?
"There's nothing theoretically difficult about going faster," says Prof Stewart, "but it's our ability to control a vehicle at those speeds that is the issue. In an emergency, it might be better to hand over control to an onboard computer."
But for the the auto-engineer, the joy is having the freedom to push the boundaries, Mr Durheimer says.
"It is part of human nature to cross boundaries and set new records… to fly even further into space and to enter new realms.
"The Chiron is the result of our efforts to make the best even better."

Billing grabbed the only goal when he reacted quickly to volley in from close range with eight minutes left.
Reading goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi saved a first-half penalty from Rajiv van La Parra to keep the scores level.
But home pressure told late on, with the Royals now four points behind Town.
Wins for Brighton on Saturday and Newcastle on Monday meant a draw would have seen both sides lose ground on the top two, and they appeared mindful of that in an entertaining and open first period.
The Terriers, who have now won 11 of their past 13 league matches, created the best chance when Izzy Brown was felled by Liam Moore, but Van La Parra's spot-kick was well saved.
Nahki Wells and Elias Kachunga also wasted good opportunities for the hosts.
Reading's best chance saw a Roy Beerens shot brilliantly pushed onto the bar by Danny Ward, who also made a couple of smart close-range stops to preserve his clean sheet.
Huddersfield boss David Wagner:
"We have only had one penalty this season and we are not used to it!
"What concerned me was after we missed the penalty our body language was not good and for 10 minutes Reading were on top and Danny Ward kept us in it.
"We spoke about it at half-time and I told the players they could still go out and win it in the second half.
"Both teams had good chances but we had more and that's why we deserved the three points."
Reading boss Jaap Stam:
"I am very proud of what we have done. It's disappointing that we did not get at least a point.
"All the teams in the top six are playing each other and if we can keep winning we will get there.
"We have played against a good side in Huddersfield and there is not a lot of difference between two teams who want to play good football."

A Tigers side shorn of their World Cup stars lie 11th in the Premiership, having lost five of their six games.
Cockerill told BBC East Midlands Today. "We are one win from seven [in total] and I am very aware of it.
"I go to bed with that thought and wake up with that thought but there comes a point where enough is enough. All I am interested in now is how people react."
Although Friday's LV= Cup tie against Gloucester would normally see a mixture of fringe and young inexperienced players in the line-up, many of Leicester's international stars are set to feature.
But Cockerill said his big-name players were desperate to get stuck back into the domestic schedule.
"They are glad to be back and some of them have had a more difficult time than others," he added. "But when you have been away from home for a long time you feel more at ease.
"Those guys feel a little bit indebted to the club, we've got them to Test-match rugby. Clearly we have suffered a little bit because of that and they want to come back and help us out of the situation we are in."
And while former England international Cockerill knows his side's predicament is in no small way down to the international call-ups and injury problems at Welford Road, he feels it's time to move on.
"I understand it and know the ins and outs and you have to realistic," he said.
"It's hard and we have to all stick together and show our true colours.
"It will come round. We have to believe in what we do. I believe in the people who work for us and play for us.
"We have to keep our bottle and not throw everything away that's been so good for the last few years.
"We can still be in the top four and do very well in Europe this year."
Tigers forward Tom Croft insists helping the club get back to winning ways will not take much.
"The boys coming back are not knights in shining armour. The side that was there was perfectly capable," Croft told BBC East Midlands Today.
"The majority of games we have lost we have been in the game in the last minutes so the talent is there, it's just closing out those games and scoring in the attack zones when we get there.
"The boys coming back will bring a bit of new life and excitement around the club.
"The boys were saying there is renewed buzz and that is a great thing to have at this time of year.
"Gloucester on Friday is a massive game just to kick-start our season and make a statement to rest of the clubs that Leicester Tigers are not a club that will roll over and we will fight to get back on track."
Barra McGrory QC says he is mystified by claims that he did not act impartially when he brought charges against a small number of ex-soldiers.
They are facing prosecution over killings during the Troubles.
A number of unionist and Conservative MPs have claimed cases involving the army are being unfairly prioritised.
"That is just not correct, that is inaccurate," Mr McGrory told the BBC.
"We have taken decisions in three army cases recently, one was not to prosecute and in the other two prosecutions have been initiated.
"In the overall context of what we do these are a tiny number of cases. We receive 40,000 files a year, we take over 2,000 cases a year to the Crown court, and we are talking here about three cases.
"Even in terms of legacy cases, the reality is that we have prosecuted more legacy cases connected with paramilitary cases than we have in respect of military cases."
Mr McGrory says a number of cases involving former soldiers were coming to court now because of inquests and referrals from the Attorney General for Northern Ireland.
He rejects suggestions by some MPs and national newspapers that he cannot be impartial when making decisions about army cases because of his previous career as a solicitor, when clients included Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and other senior republicans.
"Mystified is about the mildest way I can put it," he responded.
"Anyone who is informed about these matters would know that as a professional lawyer you represent anyone who seeks representation from you.
"I have been a professional lawyer for 30 years, during which period I have represented loyalist paramilitaries, republican paramilitaries, members of the DUP, the Official Unionist Party, members of Sinn Féin.
"I have represented a broad cross-section of people, so who I have represented in the past really has got nothing to do with it."
Some politicians have suggested the government should introduce emergency legislation to prevent the prosecution of former soldiers for Troubles-related killings.
A London-based law firm representing a number of ex-members of the army has also called for an independent inquiry into the decision making process.
I asked Mr McGrory if he viewed the criticism as an attempt to influence his decision making and to put pressure on him not to prosecute former soldiers.
"If they are not trying to influence me then they are certainly being personally insulting, and they are questioning my integrity," he says.
"But what concerns me more about that is that it is insulting to this office and to the lawyers who work here and do their work day and daily with absolute integrity and to the best of their ability.
"So I am personally offended by the remarks, but I am more offended on behalf of the individuals who work for the public prosecution service and who do a fantastic job, so I think those who are making those comments ought to think a bit carefully before they speak in such a way."
Critics have also questioned how the director of the PPS could decide to charge former soldiers when one of his predecessors said there was insufficient evidence to merit a prosecution.
They have suggested Mr McGrory reached a different conclusion based on the same evidence.
"That's just inaccurate," he says.
"In each of the three soldier cases this office has examined, there has been new evidence.
"Whether that be evidence which has been forthcoming following an inquest and referred to me by the coroner, pursuant to the powers available to the coroners, or new evidence obtained by the PSNI in the context of its investigations, or in any other context through ballistics or forensic evidence which has emerged through a variety of routes since the original decision was taken.
"Anyone who has said this is a re-taking of a decision in respect of which nothing else has changed is quite simply wrong."
She will leave the AOL-owned site to run a new venture, Thrive Global, she said on her Twitter feed.
"I thought HuffPost would be my last act. But I've decided to step down as HuffPost's editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global," she said.
Thrive Global is described as a project designed to combat workplace "burnout".
In a media release, Ms Huffington, 66, says it is "a corporate and consumer well-being and productivity platform".
Profile: Arianna Huffington
Across all nine international Huffington Post sites, there are 81m monthly unique visitors. It launched its UK edition in 2011.
Tim Armstrong, AOL chief executive, said that thanks to Arianna, the Huffington Post was a "firmly established and celebrated news source".
The Huffington Post was launched on 9 May, 2005, pulling together liberal-leaning news reports, and as an alternative to conservative news aggregators such as the Drudge Report.
She launched the site with the American businessman Kenneth Lerer and other investors.
The site offers news, blogs, and original features, and covers politics, lifestyle, and entertainment.
"The journey of the last 11 years has exceeded my wildest expectations," Ms Huffington said, referring to the HuffPost, as it is also known.
"When I decided to create Thrive Global, I thought it would be possible to build a start-up and continue as editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post. Today, it's clear that was an illusion," she added.
"As Thrive Global moved from an idea to a reality, with investors, staff, and offices, it became clear to me that I simply couldn't do justice to both companies. Change is desperately needed if another generation is to avoid the burnout that all too often comes with success today."
Arianna Huffington was born Arianna Stassinopoulos in Athens in 1950. She left her native country to study economics at Cambridge University, where she became president of the Cambridge Union.
She moved to America and in 1986 married Texas oil billionaire Michael Huffington. She played a major role in his election to the US House of Representatives in 1992 as a Republican candidate and in his failed bid for a Senate seat two years later.
By this point, Ms Huffington had made a name in her own right as a figure in the Republican establishment and a key supporter of Newt Gingrich and other right-wing figures.
But she left the party in 1996, and divorced her husband the following year, as she moved on a journey to the left.
In 2011, AOL acquired The Huffington Post for $315m, and made her president and editor-in-chief.
The double-decker and Vauxhall Insignia collided on Petersburn Road, near Dunrobin Primary, Airdrie, at 08:40.
The pupils, from Caldervale High School, and a four-year-old girl who was in the car, were taken to Monklands and Wishaw Hospitals as a precaution.
The 65-year-old bus driver and the 30-year-old car driver, both men, were not injured in the collision.
It is thought that the 17 school pupils were being treated for minor injuries.
There were no details of any injuries to the four-year-old girl.
Petersburn Road remains closed while police investigate the crash.
It is understood that the bus carrying the pupils was travelling from the Chapelhall area.
Leaders need to decide how the UK will work with other EU countries in the future, and how things like trade and immigration will work.
As part of these discussions, a place called Gibraltar is being talked about.
Read on to find out more about Gibraltar and why it is significant in politicians' conversations about Brexit.
Gibraltar is a place in Europe, on the south coast of Spain.
Even though it is on land joined to Spain, it is part of Britain. This means it is what is called a British overseas territory.
It has someone called a chief minister who is responsible for governing it and deciding how things like tax will work.
The UK government is in charge of how Gibraltar deals with other countries and how it is defended.
Even though it is quite small, it is an important place. There is a military base there, as well as a port and an airstrip.
Gibraltar is being talked about because - as part of Britain - Brexit (when Britain exits the EU) is going to affect it.
Gibraltar has been ruled by Britain for just over 300 years.
Spain and Britain have argued for many years about who Gibraltar should belong to.
This is called a row about sovereignty - this means an argument about which country should be in charge of a place.
There was a vote in 2002 about whether or not Britain and Spain should share Gibraltar. But almost everyone (99% of people living in Gibraltar) said they didn't want that to happen, so Gibraltar remains a part of Britain.
Its chief minister Fabian Picardo has said: "Gibraltar belongs to the Gibraltarians and we want to stay British."
So now that the UK is leaving the EU, this means that Gibraltar will no longer be a part of the EU either.
Discussions need to take place about what relationship Gibraltar will have with other EU countries, like Spain, which it is right next to.
One of the main issues that will affect Gibraltar is about its border, which it shares with Spain.
The EU has also just said that Brexit decisions affecting Gibraltar would be run past the Spanish government. The UK doesn't agree with Spain having the final say.
So the relationship between the UK, Spain, Gibraltar and the EU is making the headlines.
We do not know yet.
The EU has said that the Spanish government would be consulted about Brexit decisions around Gibraltar.
But the UK government doesn't think Spain should have a say, because Britain is in charge of what happens with Gibraltar.
Even though people in Gibraltar voted strongly to stay in the EU in 2016, they voted strongly to carry on being part of the UK in 2002.
The UK government has said it will protect Gibraltar and work closely with it to make sure it gets the best possible outcome from Brexit.
The Prime Minister Theresa May has also said that discussions about who Gibraltar belongs to will not be part of the Brexit conversations.
Its big internal lab has detected nitric oxide (NO) - oxidised nitrogen - as it analysed dust and rock samples.
The compound was very likely released from the breakdown of nitrates during the heating of the powders.
If nitrates are the source, it would add to the evidence that the planet had the conditions necessary to sustain life in its distant past.
Nitrogen is essential for all known forms of life, but it needs to be in the right form to be useful.
On Earth, specialist soil microbes "fix" the not-so-useful nitrogen in the atmosphere into nitrate (NO3) - a nitrogen atom bound to three oxygen atoms - which can then be processed by other biological systems.
There is no evidence that the nitrates suggested in the Curiosity lab experiments were produced in this exact same way.
A more probable scenario, say rover scientists, is that the nitrates resulted from other conversion processes that involve lightning and meteorite strikes
The team saw the signs of the nitrates in scooped samples of surface dust and in samples drilled from mudstones.
These mudstones have already demonstrated that the ancient crater in which Curiosity sits had rivers and lakes, with water and a chemistry that would have been habitable.
Last week, rover scientists reported the possible detection of a fatty acid in the robot's drilled samples.
Fatty acids are key components of the cell membranes found in all life forms. But again - just as with the nitrates - there are non-biological routes to their production. Of itself, a detection proves nothing.
The nitric oxide result is reported by Jennifer Stern and colleagues in this week's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Anthony Culley, 56, was found lying face down with a stab wound to his chest and a deep laceration on his arm.
Lesley Culley, of Unsworth Way, Oldham, told a 999 call operator she did not know what had caused his bleeding.
The 58-year-old was jailed for six years after pleading guilty to manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court.
Greater Manchester Police said she had called emergency services on 8 December 2016 over two hours after the pair left the pub, claiming he had fallen down after drinking all day.
She told the call operator she did not know what had caused his wound or what he had hit when he fell over.
However, a post mortem examination found the stab wound had been delivered with "severe force".
Culley admitted manslaughter on the grounds of loss of control, a defence which the police spokesman said was "supported by a number of psychiatric assessments".
Stephen Glynn, 46, left Derek Laidlaw with a broken nose and bruises to the head during the assault in Failsworth, Oldham, on 2 July.
Glynn, of Massey Avenue, Failsworth, had previously admitted assault causing actual bodily harm.
He was sentenced at a hearing at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
The court heard the pensioner had returned from a family celebration to find a pizza box on his car and Glynn outside his partner's home.
Glynn pinned him against the wall and punched him repeatedly during the confrontation, the jury heard.
The attack only stopped when Mr Laidlaw's partner of nine years, Marsha Jackson, stopped a van passing by and Glynn left the scene.
The defendant pleaded guilty on 11 July, during a hearing at Tameside Magistrates' Court.
Janet Commins was killed in Flint, with a man previously imprisoned after admitting her manslaughter.
North Wales Police said Stephen Anthony Hough, from Flint, was arrested in Essex on Sunday and had not previously been held in connection with the case.
He is due to appear before Llandudno magistrates on Wednesday.
Janet's family is being supported by officers, while the force has also made a referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Det Supt Iestyn Davies said: "There have been significant developments to assist police investigations of this nature in the past 40 years and significant changes in the way we approach murder investigations.
"This man has not previously been arrested in connection with the 1976 investigation.
"A dedicated team of officers have been working on this investigation and, as a result, further evidence has come to light which has caused us to review all the circumstances surrounding the initial investigation."
The girl, named locally as Victoria Resetnjova, was shaken "like a rag doll" by the dog in a park - where they are banned - in Chatham, Kent.
She is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
Her parents said: "The incident has ruined our lives and the lives of our two children."
Kent Police said the dog had been found to be a "pit bull type", which officers said was a banned breed under dangerous dog legislation.
Firearms officers shot it dead after being called to the park at 17:26 BST on Tuesday.
A man, teenager and woman, all from Chatham, were arrested on suspicion of offences under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
They have now been released pending further inquiries.
The family statement added: "We would like to thank all the emergency services and others who helped our daughter by giving first aid at the scene.
"We are also grateful for the continued support of the hospital where she is being treated.
"We ask that people now respect our privacy and give us time to focus on the wellbeing of our family."
The child was taken to a London hospital with life threatening injuries.
Eyewitnesses described the attack as "terrifying".
Amanda Ayres, 52, who called for an ambulance after seeing the attack, said: "I can't get her face out my head - her lips were blue.
"The mum came over screaming and fell to her knees when she saw her little girl. The whole dog's face was covered in blood."
Her daughter Katy Ayres, 31, added: "It had her head in his mouth and was shaking her, treating her like a rag doll."
Robinson, 36, had to be restrained after the incident which happened as the teams left the pitch.
"He knows what he said to me," Robinson told Charlton's website.
Robinson was manager of MK Dons, the club who resulted from Wimbledon FC's relocation from South London in September 2003, between 2010 and 2016.
Tom Elliott scored a late equaliser before being sent off as AFC Wimbledon denied Charlton victory in an ill-tempered League One derby at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
"We get stick, it's part of the game, but when an employee of the other club says something like that, it shows the class of the person," added Robinson.
"Certain aspects of it were disgusting and shouldn't be part of any industry.
"In no walk of life should what was said be said.
"It was always going to be hostile with the fans. It's part and parcel of the game."
However he did pay tribute to other members of Wimbledon's staff and added: "To be fair, their staff and everyone else in the building has been brilliant since then. Credit to them and I have got a lot of respect for the way they conducted themselves."
AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley said that the club had been let down by a member of staff.
"No matter what tensions there are in the game nobody should take it upon themselves to abuse people and take the law into their own hands. It's wrong," he told BBC Radio London.
"Hopefully the club will do the right thing and deal with it in the right way."
Charlton are 13th in the table, three points and one place above AFC Wimbledon.
Jamie Acourt, 39, from Bexley, is wanted by officers for drugs offences.
A Met Police spokesperson confirmed Mr Acourt was wanted "in connection with an investigation, namely, conspiracy to supply drugs".
It is alleged that Mr Acourt is part of a gang, with links to London and the North East, accused of supplying large amounts of cannabis worth millions.
Mr Acourt has always denied involvement in the killing of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence, who was stabbed to death in 1993, in Eltham, south-east London.
In 2012 Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of Stephen's murder and given life sentences.
The Lions made the Cup semi-finals but were beaten 17-10 by Russia, who went on to win the main trophy.
The secondary Plate final was won by Great Britain Royals, who beat Georgia 15-12 in the final to be ranked fifth overall.
After entering two teams in Russia, head coach Simon Amor will trim his squad down to 12 for the Rio Games.

Criminal investigators from Sri Lanka are believed to have visited Hong Kong looking for them, their lawyer said.
The Sri Lankan police have denied the allegations.
Law enforcement authorities from mainland China or other countries have no jurisdiction in Hong Kong.
The lawyer representing the men, Robert Tibbo, said that at least two officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Sri Lanka police visited Hong Kong in December looking for them.
"We have become aware of Sri Lankan police taking active steps to locate my clients," he said, adding: "They identified themselves to members of the Sri Lankan community in Hong Kong. They carried photographs and files."
Sri Lankan police spokesman Priyantha Jayakodi said the allegation was "a complete lie".
"We have not done any investigation in Hong Kong or any other country on any refugee case," he told BBC Sinhala.
However Mr Tibbo said the evidence came from Sri Lankans living in Hong Kong who were approached on the street in late December by people who carried official identification.
His clients fed and housed Mr Snowden for two weeks in June 2013 when he fled the US after leaking thousands of documents belonging to the US National Security Agency (NSA).
The former IT contractor subsequently left Hong Kong for Moscow.
The names of the asylum seekers, Kellapatha Supun Thilina and Debagma Kankanalamage Ajith Pushpa Kumara, were revealed last year by Mr Tibbo, ahead of the September premiere of the film Snowden by the director Oliver Stone.
He said that it would have been difficult to keep their identities secret after the film's release.
Mr Tibbo believes the Sri Lankan government began investigating the asylum seekers shortly afterwards.
The lawyer says Sri Lankan officials may have noted the disappearances of the Causeway Bay booksellers and the Chinese billionaire Xiao Jianhua - who some fear may have been forcibly taken from Hong Kong to mainland China.
"With the Hong Kong government not holding Beijing accountable, and the lack of transparency, this amounts to an invitation to other governments in the world," Mr Tibbo said.
"That their security forces, their police officers are welcome to come into Hong Kong and investigate and do similar things," he added.
Two local lawmakers, Charles Mok and James To, have called for an investigation.
"I am very concerned about this case," said Mr To, a member of the pro-democracy Democratic Party.
"Nobody can come and enforce the law in Hong Kong except Hong Kong officials. Nobody can come in breach of Hong Kong law."
The asylum seekers have since moved to "safer" locations and have notified Hong Kong's immigration department.
They also plan to file a police report.
Mr Thilina, who arrived in Hong Kong in 2005, said he was frightened by the news.
"I am nervous and scared. I don't have a normal life now," he said.
His compatriot, Mr Kumara, an army deserter who served as an informal bodyguard to Mr Snowden in 2013, was also worried for his safety.
They are concerned about the prospect of being removed from Hong Kong and forcibly returned to Sri Lanka, where they say they could face violence and torture.
Mr Tibbo represents both men, along with Mr Snowden and Vanessa Rodel, an asylum seeker from the Philippines who also gave refuge to the US whistleblower in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong currently has about 10,000 asylum seekers, mainly from countries in South Asia and Africa.
All the savers in Rowallane credit union will get their money back under the government's Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
The credit union, which was based in Saintfield Orange Hall, holds savings of around £1.4m.
The FSCS said the overwhelming majority of savers will get their money back within seven days.
People with less than £1,000 saved will receive a letter to get cash over the counter at the post office.
Anyone with savings of more than £1,000 will receive a cheque.
FSCS's head of communications, Mark Oakes, said: "FSCS protects people when authorised financial services firms cease trading.
"So I'm pleased to confirm FSCS payments have now been made to members of Rowallane credit union. It is good news for those members."
The last published accounts for the credit union for 2014 show that it made a £133,000 loan to the Rowallane Community Hub in contravention of rules laid down by the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA).
Under the rules a credit union is only allowed to lend money to its members or to other credit unions.
The accounts add that no information was available about the ability of Rowallane Community Hub to repay £120,000 of the loan balance.
As a result, the auditors said the credit union had not maintained "a satisfactory system of control over transactions".

Warriors raced into a 12-0 lead with scores from Oliver Gildart and Willie Isa, and two George Williams goals.
Salford hit back to lead at half-time through Michael Dobson's penalty after Greg Johnson and Tyrone McCarthy tries.
Williams' penalty levelled the semi-final before Michael McIlorum's score, Sam Tomkins' drop-goal and Gildart's late second try sent Wigan to Wembley.
It will be the Cherry and Whites' 31st Challenge Cup final and a repeat of their last visit to the stadium in 2013 when they ran out 16-0 winners over the Airlie Birds.
Salford, having finished fourth in the regular Super League season a year after narrowly avoiding relegation thanks to a dramatic comeback and a golden point extra-time win over Hull KR in the Million Pound Game, were bidding to reach their first final since 1969.
After an initial bright opening couple of minutes, they looked to be in for a long afternoon when Gildart powered through a gap in their defence and Isa raced in at the corner to seemingly put Wigan in control.

But successive penalties handed the Red Devils a way back into the game as they sent Johnson over in the corner and McCarthy immediately won the race to touch down Dobson's grubber kick.
Dobson then kicked Salford in front after Tomkins was sin-binned by referee James Child for preventing McCarthy from reaching another expertly-executed grubber kick.
They proved to be Salford's last points as Wigan ground their way to victory in a tight second half, which saw Joe Burgess have a try ruled out by video referee Ben Thaler following a brilliant tackle by Niall Evalds.
After Williams levelled with a penalty, winger Burgess brilliantly chipped a kick into the path of McIlorum, who dived over to put Warriors back in front.
Tomkins' drop-goal gave Wigan a seven-point lead and Gildart wrapped up victory when he dived over in the final minute.
Wigan head coach Shaun Wane told BBC Sport:
"This feels fantastic, last year was tough to take, Salford are a champion club but to get back to Wembley is fantastic.
"We've another job to do now. We did 20 minutes with 12 men, it's unacceptable and we'll fix it but we'll enjoy it and get ready for Leeds now.
"Salford made it a great game in testing conditions, it shows you what a great game rugby league is."
Salford head coach Ian Watson told BBC Sport:
"It was a big effort by our boys, but these are the games players want to be involved in and we will be involved in these again.
"The more experience we can take from these games and learn from them the better, we've got to take the lessons from this into the Super 8s.
"It's devastating, it's a tough loss but we will focus on what we need to do for the rest of the year."

Kirsty Maxwell, from Livingston, West Lothian, fell from the 10th floor of a hotel in the Spanish resort in April.
The 27-year-old had recently been married and was in the resort with a group of friends on a hen party.
Four British men who were in the hotel room at the time were questioned as part of the inquiry.
They later left court without making any comment to the media.
The private hearing is part of efforts to establish events leading up to Mrs Maxwell's death at the Apartamentos Payma on 29 April.
Following Mrs Maxwell's death, another British man was arrested but later released by Spanish authorities.
He has insisted he played no part in Mrs Maxwell's death, reportedly claiming she entered their room at about 08:00 and appeared in a confused state before heading for the balcony.
There has been speculation she may have gone into the room by mistake while looking for her friends' room.
Her husband, Adam Maxwell, described her as his best friend and said he will never stop missing her.
Mrs Maxwell's family's lawyer, Luis Miguel Zumaquero said: "The men were called today to the court to clear all the contradictions in their stories and they did not.
"They had a great opportunity to prove their innocence today however they did not do that. We think this is a declaration of their guilt. "
The body was found at around 14:00 GMT on Thursday in a property on Anderson Place.
South Wales Police said the body had not been formally identified, but contact had been made with relatives of a woman linked to the address.
The death is being treated as unexplained but is not thought to be suspicious.
Brown has agreed to a two-year deal at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
The 32-year-old made 97 appearances for Vikings after joining from Huddersfield ahead of the 2013 season.
"The quality of person he is will add a whole lot to our team both on and off the field," Wolves head coach Tony Smith told the club website.
Coastguards were alerted to the incident between Port Eynon Bay and Mewslade Bay at about 1:30 BST.
Horton and Port Eynon RNLI launched its lifeboat and two crew went ashore to help the rescue helicopter winch the men aboard.
One man was said to have suffered head injuries and the other leg injuries.

US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Americans will leave RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire.
The move is part of a programme to save £320m ($500m) a year across Europe. The USAF lease the RAF bases.
Mr Hagel said he understood it would mean job losses and thanked those who had supported the US Air Force.
"I know that this will result in a reduction of our local host nations workforces at some locations; I value the tremendous support they provided us for decades."
The USAF KC-135 tanker fleet based at Mildenhall will be moved to Germany.
RAF Lakenheath, with two squadrons of new F-35 jets (48 of them) arriving by 2020, will be the aircraft's only European base.
The Pentagon said the loss of about 2,000 US military and civilian personnel is due to relocation away from Mildenhall, but will be offset by the addition of about 1,200 people stationed permanently at Lakenheath.
Matthew Hancock, West Suffolk MP and Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy, said he would support the community affected.
Mildenhall had a long and proud history of strong relations with the United States Air Force and the move "will come as a shock to many", he said.
"I have met with the defence secretary, and others in government to ensure we can work, together with the American administration, to support the community.
"We will create a Mildenhall, Alconbury and Molesworth (MAM) Working Group, which I will chair, inviting local LEPs [local enterprise partnerships], councils, the Ministry of Defence and US representatives to ensure no stone is left unturned in supporting Mildenhall and the surrounding area."
A UK Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "The US Department of Defence (DoD) has been reviewing its requirement for bases across Europe as part of (its) European infrastructure consolidation review."
RAF Mildenhall is used as a transport hub by the USAF and is home to air refuelling tankers and special operations forces.
It has about 3,200 military personnel, with 400-500 UK civilian staff employed there.
Both bases are in the Forest Heath District Council area.
James Waters, leader of the council, said: "The USAF contributes significantly to the local economy so the expansion of RAF Lakenheath, and with it the US government's commitment to the site as part of its long term plans, is very welcome.
"But this happiness is obviously tempered by our sadness that Mildenhall is to close.
"Both announcements mean huge changes to the landscape of Forest Heath , but I am optimistic that with every change there are opportunities for reinvention, growth and investment."
For some years now the US military has been reviewing its bases in Europe, eager to reduce its footprint to rationalise and cut costs.
In part it is due to budget constraints but it is also driven by strategic changes as the Pentagon turns its gaze increasingly towards the Asia-Pacific.
RAF Mildenhall has been an important base for the Americans since the early 1950s when it was home to strategic bombers.
Currently it houses US Air Force Special Forces and a fleet of air-to-air tankers.
The latter, though less glamorous than fast jets, are some of the most important elements of the USAF, described by one analyst as the "kryptonite" of modern air power.
They enable combat and support aircraft to reach their targets and to remain over combat zones for the time needed to carry out their missions.
It is likely that the KC-135 tankers from Mildenhall will move to a US base in Germany.
British defence sources are eager to stress that the base closures here - two US-run communications stations at RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire are also to shut down - do not represent any dilution of Washington's commitment to European security.
Indeed RAF Lakenheath is due to host two squadrons of new F-35 aircraft when they enter service.
Over recent months the Americans have deployed small but significant reinforcements to Europe to reassure NATO allies like Poland and the Baltic republics in the wake of Russia's actions against Ukraine.
The US had hundreds of tanks in Europe during Cold War but there was a brief moment after 2013 when all US tanks had been withdrawn from Europe.
Today about a battalion's worth are back in Europe exercising with allies.
But the Pentagon has plans to store an armoured brigade's worth of equipment - some 150 tanks along with other armoured vehicles - in Europe by 2015.
RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth are used as USAF communications bases, rather than for flying, and their operations were expected to move to RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire.
The USAF has about 750 military personnel at the two Cambridgeshire bases, with a further 1,500 civilian employees and dependents.
Jason Ablewhite, leader of Huntingdonshire District Council, said the news was "hugely disappointing" as both bases contributed about £40m a year to the local economy.
He said it would mean the loss of 760 personnel and 1,500 civilian jobs, adding: "The impact on the local economy could be considerable.
"However, the Enterprise Zone is on the same site as RAF Alconbury, and will provide thousands of jobs over the coming years." | The United States Air Force (USAF) has confirmed it will pull out of three UK airbases. | 30,725,366 | 1,189 | 23 | false |
Forecasters said Arthur had almost strengthened to a hurricane on Wednesday and could threaten parts of North Carolina in the coming days.
It is currently off the coast of Florida, with high winds and rain.
Hotel owners in affected areas have already reported cancellations.
Tropical Storm Arthur is forecast to grow into a Category 1 hurricane early on Thursday with wind speeds approaching 75 mph (121 km/h).
The National Weather Service has issued a hurricane warning for most of the North Carolina coast, with forecasters warning tourists to the Outer Banks islands to use caution.
Officials warned of storm surge flooding and heavy rainfall forecast along the barrier islands.
Tropical storm watches are also in effect for wider parts of the US east coast.
"We have received some cancellations," North Carolina motel general manager John Zeller told the Associated Press news agency.
"Basically we are telling people to kind of wait and see what happens. I think everybody is kind of watching the weather."
The area's tourism agency expects about 250,000 people to spend time in the Outer Banks over the long holiday weekend.
Governor Pat McCrory advised residents: " Don't put your stupid hat on." And he urged surfers and swimmers to avoid the water because of concerns over rip tides.
"Our major goal is to ensure that no lives are lost during this upcoming storm," he said.
Forecasters were optimistic the storm would not rain out the celebrated Fourth of July fireworks on Washington DC's National Mall.
The pyrotechnics show over the famed Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial is set to be broadcast live on television.
The US government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a slower than average hurricane season this year, with eight to 13 total named storms, three to six hurricanes, and one or two major hurricanes.
Police removed hard discs from Sangu TV's studios in the capital Male.
The video reportedly shows three masked men issuing a death threat against the president.
President Yameen imposed a state of emergency on Wednesday after the military said it found a bomb in a vehicle near the presidential palace.
"The station has come to a complete standstill," Sangu TV's managing director Ibrahim Waheed said.
"They turned the whole office upside down in search of evidence. The office safe has also been broken into and searched. They've taken all the hard drives of all our computer systems."
He added that was certain Sangu TV's staff and management had not uploaded the video, Minivan News reported.
The court sanctioned the raid because of police intelligence reports and information received from YouTube, the warrant states.
The video - which was previously dismissed as fake by Maldivian authorities - allegedly shows three masked men issuing a death threat to the president and his former deputy Ahmed Adeeb, with the Islamic State flag in the background.
Maldives crisis in 60 seconds
The men reportedly give the president and Mr Adeeb 30 days to agree to their terms, which include a call on the government to release the president of the Adhaalath Party, Sheikh Imran Abdulla, who is awaiting trial for terrorism charges.
"We are calling you to release Imran immediately without any terms or conditions," one man allegedly says.
The men also call for the withdrawal of the anti-terrorism bill from parliament, adding that failure to comply would result in "deadly attacks" for which the president and his deputy would be responsible.
There are growing concerns about radicalisation in the Maldives. According to local media, dozens of Maldivian nationals have joined IS, and at least five have died.
Political infighting has led to growing unrest. On Wednesday, the country's parliament voted to remove Vice-President Ahmed Adeeb from office after he was charged with treason in connection with an explosion on the president's boat.
He denies trying to kill the president.
The country's first democratically-elected president, Mohamed Nasheed, was jailed in March on terrorism charges, following a rushed trial which the UN says was seriously flawed. President Yameen rejected a UN call for Mr Nasheed's release.
His car collided with four parked cars after failing to give way at the junction of St George's Road in Preston while driving along St Martin's Road.

News that the football board's chairman now has 6.45% of the issued share capital was followed by a prediction of the current regime's demise.
Former Rangers director Paul Murray said: "Change will come and we can all emerge from a black period in this fantastic club's history."
Murray has joined two fans groups campaigning to oust the current board.
The Scottish businessman has taken out lifetime memberships of the Rangers Supporters Trust and Rangers First, two groups that hold shares in Rangers International Football Club.
Easdale on Friday bought 1,014,000 ordinary shares of 1p to take his stake to 5,256,110.
But the purchase by the Greenock-based businessman does not increase his overall voting rights, which remain at just over 26%.
The list of shareholders indicates that Easdale bought the shares from within the group for whom he holds a proxy.
His purchase comes against a backdrop of financial turmoil at Ibrox.
Former Rangers director Dave King, who has a 15% share in the cash-strapped Scottish Championship club, has called for a general meeting at which he hopes shareholders will vote to remove the four directors - chairman David Somers, Sandy Easdale's younger brother, James, chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach - from the board.
However, Rangers have since issued a statement to the Stock Exchange saying they intend to seek the withdrawal of the notice, alluding to whether King would pass the Stock Exchange and Scottish Football Association "fit and proper person" rules.
The South Africa-based businessman hopes to have himself, Murray and John Gilligan, the former MD of Tennents, appointed to the board.
Murray has urged the club's fans to play an active role in forcing boardroom change and pledged that the three would-be directors are "committed to meaningful fan ownership and representation".
Urging Rangers fans to give their support to RST and Rangers First, he said: "The fans can play a hugely significant part in forcing change through votes.
"In the lead up to the general meeting, the usual suspects will attempt to undermine our cause because they realise their days could be numbered.
"The truth is that, for the first time in years, there is a group of people capable of rebuilding and repairing our club and malicious speculation will not deflect us."
King, who owns almost 15% of RIFC, is confident that he has the support of more than 50% of shareholders, with a simple majority required to vote through his proposals.
Three Rangers-supporting businessmen - Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor - currently own 20% of RIFC between them, while River & Mercantile owns around 5%.
Along with individual shareholders like former Rangers managers Ally McCoist and Walter Smith, former chairman Malcolm Murray and London-based Kieron Prior, who are supportive of King, the RST and Rangers First both now own a little more than 1% each.
The Scottish Championship club, whose caretaker manager, Kenny McDowall, handed in his notice on Monday, needs cash urgently to continue as a going concern.
Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley, who has an 8.92% stake in Rangers, has offered a loan of £10m but wants Ibrox Stadium and the Murray Park training ground as security.
That move triggered a protest by fans at Ibrox on Friday before and after the abandoned game against league leaders Hearts.
The minibus was carrying pupils from Balfron High School when it was in collision with a 4x4 on the the A811 Dumbarton Road near Gargunnock at 14:30.
All six casualties were taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital with "non-life-threatening injuries".
The injuries include broken legs, head injuries and wrist injuries.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said the pupils and the female minibus driver were all in a stable condition.
A spokesman said: "Five ambulances, a specialist operations team and a helicopter from Glasgow attended, as well as a specialist trauma team."
A police spokeswoman said the 4x4 had been towing a trailer.
She said: "The incident happened on a stretch of road between Kirk Lane and the Cambusbarron turn-off near Stirling shortly before 3pm.
"The female driver of the minibus and five of her passengers have been transferred to Forth Valley Royal Hospital for assessment, however, their injuries are not thought to be life threatening."
Local diversions were set up.

It was due to start in September but was delayed due to pay and conditions disputes with unions.
Responding to Boris Johnson's July claim, Transport for London (TfL) said no date had been set, while unions said there were still issues to be agreed.
Mr Johnson made the announcement as he used a training simulator being used by some of the 200 part-time drivers who will run the service.
More on this and other news from London
A TfL spokesman said: "We are not in a position to fix an exact date but we are working to a time in late July at the earliest, to start the Night Tube service."
Mr Johnson claimed the service would be "great news for those looking to work and play throughout the night" and it will give London "another economic shot in the arm".
Last year unions went on strike over the introduction of the Night Tube and other issues.
The breakthrough followed the acceptance of a pay deal by members of the two biggest Tube unions - Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union.
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and Unite have yet to accept the deal.
TSSA leader Manuel Cortes said: "A lot of water will go under the bridge between now and then, including the fact that London will have a new mayor.
"Like Boris's broken promise to keep all booking offices open, Night Tube proposals may still go up in smoke."
Meanwhile the RMT remains in dispute over night Tube safety and is balloting 1,500 maintenance staff for strike action.
Its general secretary Mick Cash said: "We may have settled the dispute for LU staff on pay and conditions but the idea that all of the outstanding issues have been resolved, not least the safety case and the Tube Lines engineers dispute, is simply not true."
Referring to the delay in introducing the all-night service, Mr Johnson said: "We've had to go a bit slower than I necessarily would have wanted, but on the other hand better to do that... I thought Londoners would rather wait a little bit than we pay an exorbitant demand to get it done."
Ponies, donkeys, pigs and cattle have roamed the national park for centuries but were hit by vehicles 138 times in 2014.
The map comes after reflective collars were fitted on ponies and a speed enforcement officer was employed.
Accident numbers have fallen from 182 in 2013 but the park authority does not want motorists to become complacent.
Out of the 138 accidents in 2014, more than a third took place on three roads in the Hampshire national park:
• B3078 from Cadnam to Godshill - 24 accidents
• B3054 from Hatchet Pond to Portmore - 16 accidents
• B3056 from Hatchet Pond to Lyndhurst - 13 accidents
The map also shows a cluster of accidents from Picket Post to Burley Street and by Bolton's Bench in Lyndhurst.
Forest organisations teamed up to set up traffic-calming measures, including a mobile speed camera that clocked 495 speed offences in March alone, on unfenced roads where animals can wander into the road.
Out of 9319 roaming animals in 2014, 68 were killed and 23 were injured. The rest of the 138 escaped uninjured.
Nigel Matthews, of the New Forest National Park Authority, said: "Local motorists should never assume that it won't happen to them.
"One day, that animal beside the road will step out at the last minute, so go slowly and give it a wide berth.
"Animals are on the road day and night, and unfortunately have no fear of cars."
Ings put the visitors ahead in the 12th minute when he tapped in after Asmir Begovic parried Ashley Barnes's cross.
The striker grabbed his second soon after, with another close-range finish following Michael Kightly's low pass.
Jon Walters pulled one back with a diving header for Stoke, but the Clarets held on for the valuable win.
The victory means Sean Dyche's side have now won back-to-back Premier League games and move above QPR and Crystal Palace into 18th place.
While they were fortunate to hold on against a wasteful Stoke side, Burnley showed plenty of effort and character.
They conceded 15 goals in a five-match period between the end of September and the start of November, but have followed that with a 1-0 win against Hull and a battling defensive performance to take the three points at Britannia Stadium.
But for Stoke it was a disappointing afternoon. The Potters had numerous chances to secure a point but could not force a second goal past a resolute away defence.
One of the hosts' best chances came when Bojan, who supplied the cross for Walters's goal, released Victor Moses with a clever backheel, but the winger's powerful effort was punched to safety by Tom Heaton.
The hosts, who had 73% of possession and had 14 corners compared to none from the visitors, brought on Marko Arnautovic and Peter Crouch for Moses and Mame Biram Diouf as they pushed for an equaliser.
Bojan was instrumental in Stoke's best work and his floated cross was flicked goalwards by Crouch, but the ball narrowly went wide.
Another substitute, Charlie Adam, had another effort to snatch a point but his powerful effort from 25 yards was well held by Heaton.
With Burnley defending with 10 players in their own penalty area during five minutes of injury time, there was one further chance for Stoke but goalkeeper Begovic headed over.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes said: "We're disappointed with the opening period and that's what has cost us the three points. We were totally dominant.
"[Erik] Pieters failed a fitness test and our back four was thrown together this morning, but we're still a team that should not allow the opponent to go into a 2-0 lead."
Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross said: "We had a brilliant performance in the win at Tottenham but threw that all away. We have lost at home to Leicester, Aston Villa and Burnley, three teams in the bottom half, and that's something we have to work on."

Rob Webber's try put the Sharks ahead from a line-out before Freddie Burns and Graham Kitchener scores gave the Tigers a 20-10 lead at the break.
Owen Williams, Jack Roberts and George McGuigan went over for Leicester before Bryn Evans' consolation try for Sale.
Leicester's place in the play-offs will be confirmed if Bath fail to beat Gloucester on Sunday.
Matt O'Connor's side can confirm their top-four place with two points in their final game at Worcester, no matter what Bath do in their final two games.
In front of a crowd of nearly 24,000, their highest gate of the season, Leicester, who had lost their past three games against Sale, looked dangerous throughout and passed the 40-point mark in the Premiership for the second time this season.
Sale's rugby league convert Josh Charnley was shown a yellow card early on for taking out wing Adam Thompstone in the air, and Bath-bound fly-half Burns knocked over his first penalty in a 19-point haul.
Thompstone, along with try-scoring lock Kitchener, both made their 100th starts for Leicester as the club look to be heading for a top-four finish for the 13th straight season.
After losing lock Andrei Ostrikov in the warm-up, the 10th-placed visitors had to deal with prop Ross Harrison going off midway through the first half, with 20-year-old Portugal international Diogo Ferreira replacing him for his debut.
Leicester head coach Matt O'Connor said: "Tigers in the semi-final? There will be some clubs looking over their shoulders.
"Fair credit to the lads, they have worked hard to nail that detail and it was really pleasing to hear the crowd almost happy again.
"We misfired a bit in the first half and we were a bit slow in the second half to get going, but I am pleased with the result."
O'Connor on Freddie Burns: "He can play, he's a good lad. He has been good for the group. He works hard and he has been a fantastic character to have around."
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond said: "It was a reflection of our season. We are good in parts and then we undo ourselves.
"We built the first 25-30 minutes and we were taking line-out off them and then we gave the ball away. It was a bit disappointing really.
"After the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second half we could not get in the game. They were more physical and they were dominant around the tackle area.
"They tackled people past the ruck and didn't get pulled for it, which is what they are good at."

He laughed off questions about tie-ups with Facebook and Google, saying he didn't know "where such talk came from".
Instead he concentrated on the importance of the service's growth, especially on mobile.
According to Mr Costolo, 40% of tweets now come from mobile platforms.
He said that the service needed "deeper integration" in smartphones as well as to extend how it was made available to more basic phones.
Mr Costolo said that he wanted Twitter to work seamlessly on all mobile software.
"We want deep smartphone integration and stronger text messaging integration. It has to just work the same way everywhere it is used," he said.
But he offered little detail on how this would be achieved, beyond saying that he wanted more "single sign-ons".
"We want to be able to tweet from any app, without having to fire up another application," he said.
More detail on how Twitter could be integrated with mobiles would have been useful, said Eden Zoller, principal analyst at research firm Ovum.
"We expected more; for example what Twitter is doing to build its application ecosystem given the importance of apps in adding value to the service and the fact that a growing number of Twitter users interact with the service via apps," she said.
"We also hoped Twitter would show that it intends to leverage mobile location better than it is, and likewise search," she added.
Currently Twitter's revenues are made in three key ways - from promoted trends, which allows companies to pay to appear in its top ratings, and sponsored and promoted tweets.
Much of the keynote speech was devoted to Twitter's phenomenal growth.
Twitter now regularly carries 130 million tweets a day and during major events, such as the football World Cup can see upwards of 3,000 tweets a second, Mr Costolo said.
The record, he revealed, was 6,000 tweets per second in Japan at New Year's Eve.
Mr Costolo also spoke of the importance of the platform as a political tool, with basic services such as speak-to-tweet, a partnership with Google which allowed users to send tweets as voicemail and read them as texts, proving crucial in recent citizen protests in Egypt.
He announced that a crowd-sourcing translation service will soon be coming to Twitter.
He revealed that increasing numbers of users are coming to the service as passive consumers.
"More users of Twitter aren't tweeting," he said.
"We have to understand that many are here just for consumption, they just want to follow content," he added.
He hinted at possible expansion of Twitter's social network.
"If new users come to Twitter and have a couple of social connections they are far more likely to remain engaged users," he revealed.
Mr Costolo did also hint at possible tie-ups with TV advertisers, playing up Twitter's value during TV shows such as live sports, saying that the service was turning people against DVRs and on-demand services because they preferred to watch in "real time" so that they could tweet.
Twitter was allowing interactive TV to become a reality. "Twitter is the second screen," he said.
The assertion will be welcomed by TV advertisers which have seen revenues fall as a result of people using DVRs and other methods to watch content.
Ms Zoller was disappointed that Mr Costolo did not say more about how he intends for the company to make money.
"Twitter quoted figures on healthy growth and use, which is good but not surprising. What it didn't provide was concrete details on was how effective its nascent businesses are proving to be in driving revenues - lots of case studies of cool brands using Twitter but no hard line on the margins this brings to Twitter," she said.
In an earlier keynote speech, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer revealed that it plans to integrate Twitter as one of a raft of updates to Windows phones, coming later this year.
Other updates include a version of Microsoft's latest browser, Internet Explorer 9, for phones and deeper ties with gaming services Xbox and Kinect.
The move is part of the Lancashire seaside town's free school breakfast scheme - but parents will be able to opt out of allowing their children to be given the drink.
Blackpool councillor Tony Williams, who has concerns over the plan, said "mass medication" should not be allowed.
Councillors approved the scheme and a group will be set up to implement it.
The group combining Blackpool Council, Public Health England, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and oral health charity the Borrow Foundation will oversee the scheme.
Councillor Graham Cain said: "Unfortunately the state of Blackpool's dental health is very poor.
"Some parts of the country can benefit from fluoride naturally appearing in their daily drinking water - in Blackpool we cannot.
"The free breakfast programme allows us to reach all primary school children as they are growing up and make the fluoride milk available to them there."
But Mr Williams said: "There is a lot of conflicting evidence about adding fluoride to milk, including that it cancels out the good effects of calcium.
"You can't mass medicate children, which is what they are doing. Who is going to monitor how much fluoride children will have in them?
"The only way to do that is urine tests and how, and when, are they going to do that on a regular basis for 8,000 children?
"What if a child is allergic to fluoride and a teacher has administered it. Are they going to be liable?"
Under the fluoridated milk scheme, each 189ml carton will contain 0.8mg of fluoride - the equivalent of 4.2 parts per million.
Moves to introduce fluoride into milk in Blackpool were first suggested in 2013 but shelved while further studies were carried out by Public Health England (PHE).
A PHE spokesman said: "Fluoridated milk is one option for local authorities to consider as part of an overall oral health plan to reduce levels of decay among children.
"Whether a local authority decides to add fluoride to the milk of children in primary school depends on a number of factors including whether the area is supplied by fluoridated water and the local tooth decay levels.
"To become acutely unwell, a child would typically have to rapidly ingest 1mg of fluoride per kg body weight.
"A child aged five, weighing around 18kg, would therefore need to ingest about 18mg of fluoride."
The NHS website says there is "no convincing evidence" to suggest a link between fluoride and health problems.
Viewers will see Flanagan back on screen next February and she will stay until the spring, ITV said.
The actress first appeared in the soap at the age of nine and remained until 2012, when reports said she had been suffering panic attacks on set.
Her character, a model, was said to have left Weatherfield to take part in a reality TV show.
In 2011, she had been seen in an ITV2 spin-off Just Rosie, which followed her as she tried to forge a modelling career.
After her departure from Coronation Street, Flanagan herself took part in a number of reality shows including I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Super Spa.
In a statement, the 26-year-old said: "I'm so excited to be returning to Coronation Street and being part of the Webster family again."
ITV said plot details were being kept under wraps but "one thing is certain - Rosie's visit to see her family won't be uneventful".
Coronation Street producer Kate Oates said: "The Websters have missed Rosie and so have we. With Sophie away on holiday with her sister it seemed like the ideal time to bring Rosie back home with her for a visit.
"We are delighted that Helen is as keen explore what Rosie has been up to away from the cobbles as we are."
It comes after a highly critical report on the way the regulator leaked highly sensitive information to the media.
An independent report found that the FCA's strategy was "high-risk, poorly supervised and inadequately controlled".
A story, leaked to the Daily Telegraph paper in March this year, contained price-sensitive information.
The resulting article claimed that the FCA was planning an investigation of 30 million pension policies, some of which had been sold as long ago as the 1970s.
Billions of pounds were wiped off the share prices of big insurance companies.
Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the House of Commons Treasury Committee, said that some of the errors in the FCA's conduct "went all the way to the top".
But although Martin Wheatley, the head of the FCA, will lose a bonus of up to £115,000 this year, he escapes serious criticism in the report, and has previously insisted that he would not stand down.
The FCA said it accepted the criticisms and apologised for its mistakes.
The report into its conduct, written by Simon Davis of law firm Clifford Chance, said the FCA had not addressed the issue of whether the information given out might be price sensitive.
John Griffith-Jones, the FCA's chairman, said: "The board fully accepts Mr Davis' criticisms, and on behalf of the FCA, we apologise for the mistakes that were made."
Two of the executives criticised in the report have ready stepped down from the FCA.
Clive Adamson, the head of supervision, "should have appreciated" the risk that the briefing to the Telegraph could contain price sensitive information, said the report.
Earlier this week it was announced that Mr Adamson, along with Zitah McMillan, the director of communications, would leave the FCA.
The FCA said it would now change its systems, to make sure the situation never happened again.
The newspaper article in March suggested that millions of poor-value pensions were going to be investigated by the FCA.
They were said to be "rip-off" policies, with customers trapped by high exit fees.
In its briefing at the time, the FCA suggested that such exit fees might be banned.
It was this particular element which caused nearly £3bn to be wiped off insurance company shares on 28 March, before the FCA issued clarification later in the day.
The report found that as a result of the misleading briefing, there was a "false" market in the shares of insurance companies, and possibly a "disorderly" market as well.
The FCA said it had received nine complaints from investors who claimed to have lost money as a result.
Five other senior staff members of the FCA will take a 25% cut in their bonuses.
Mr Wheatley has previously insisted he would not resign over the mistakes.
"My board has total confidence in Martin Wheatley," said FCA chairman John Griffiths-Jones.
However, the chairman of the House of Commons Treasury Committee was highly critical of the FCA's behaviour.
Andrew Tyrie, MP, said the Davis report had told the story of an FCA "pursuing the wrong strategy in the wrong way".
Mr Tyrie added: "The catalogue of errors made across the organisation is shocking - and some of the errors went to the top."
He said it had been unacceptable that the FCA board had originally intended to hold an internal inquiry, with some "external support".
"I immediately pressed, on behalf of the Treasury Committee, for a fully independent inquiry led by a demonstrably impartial figure. It is now abundantly clear that this was needed," he said.
"The FCA has fallen well below the standards it requires of the firms it regulates. Mr Davis has concluded that the body comprising the UK listing authority, in premeditated briefing, created a false market - causing considerable market uncertainty, worry for many consumers and some lasting damage."
He said his committee would now examine whether the FCA's errors were a one-off or whether they revealed something seriously amiss with the standards and culture of the body.
Jason McCue, from East Kilbride, was seriously injured in John Hastie Park, Strathaven, on Tuesday. He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
Detectives have a launched a murder inquiry following his death.
Police said they believed the 43-year-old was targeted and not the subject of an "opportunistic or random attack".
Mr McCue was found in the park at about 13:30 on Tuesday following a disturbance involving at least three men.
Det Ch Insp Mark Bell, senior investigating officer, said: "It was a brazen attack, in the middle of the afternoon and in a very public place.
"There were a good number of people in the park at the time, thankfully none of whom were injured during the attack. Nonetheless, it was shocking and upsetting for them to witness.
"Officers are checking CCTV in the park and the surrounding area to trace those responsible as well as speaking to people in and around the park."
The officer said there had already been a good response from the public, but appealed to anyone with information to come forward.
Additional officers are patrolling the park.
A statement from the family of Jason McCue said they were "deeply saddened by his untimely death".
It added: "Jason was a much-loved son, brother, uncle and friend who will be greatly missed."
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the option was "on the table" if the threat from the North's weapons programme reached a level requiring it.
During a visit to South Korea, he also said the US was exploring a range of new diplomatic and economic measures.
And he defended the deployment of a US missile system in South Korea.
The move has angered China, but South Korea and the US say the system is needed as a defence against North Korean aggression.
US President Donald Trump tweeted that North Korea was "behaving very badly" and had been "playing" the US "for years". "China has done little to help!" he added.
Mr Tillerson spoke shortly after visiting the demilitarised zone which divides the two Koreas.
He arrived in South Korea from Japan, where he had said that 20 years of efforts designed to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions had failed.
Asked if the possibility for military action existed, he said: "Certainly we do not want to, for things to get to military conflict."
But he added: "If they elevate the threat of their weapons programme to a level that we believe requires action, then that option's on the table."
North Korea has conducted nuclear and missile tests in recent years, and says it is close to testing long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and reaching the US.
Mr Tillerson was blunt: the previous policy had ended. Despite that assertion, though, the difference between the Obama strategy and the Trump one is not obvious. Mr Obama had not ruled out military force and Mr Tillerson thinks sanctions might yet work.
Both administrations ruled out negotiation - though Mr Tillerson said they would be "premature" at the moment, prompting the thought that there might come a time when they were the right thing to do.
At the end of it, the situation remains the same: North Korea shows no hint of being willing to renounce nuclear weapons, whatever economic blows it receives and whatever China might think.
Mr Tillerson heads for Beijing next, hoping China will help - but in the past Mr Trump has called China an "enemy".
The US has accused China, North Korea's main ally, of not doing enough to rein it in but Beijing remains wary of any action that could destabilise the North Korean government and potentially create chaos on its border.
During his address in Seoul, Mr Tillerson called on China to fully implement sanctions imposed by the UN in response to North Korea's nuclear and missile tests.
"I don't believe we have ever fully achieved the maximum level of action that can be taken under the UN Security Council resolution with full participation of all countries," he said.
China is also strongly opposed to the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) system in South Korea. America says the system is aimed at North Korea but China says it will allow the US to spy on its territory.
In recent days there have been multiple reports of apparent economic retaliation aimed at South Korea by Beijing. Mr Tillerson called these actions "unnecessary and troubling".
"We also believe it is not the way for a regional power to help resolve what is a serious threat for everyone," he said.
Mr Tillerson had talks with both South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who is also the acting president.
However, the two sides opted not to have a meal together because Mr Tillerson, 64, was experiencing "fatigue", unnamed Seoul officials were quoted as saying by local newspaper the Korea Herald.
"We Americans have to get this news from the Korea Herald, because Tillerson won't let a press pool travel with him," New York Times columnist Carl Zimmer commented in a tweet.
The Elite League will have three conferences instead of two, with the four Scottish sides grouped together.
"There will be a good rivalry in the Scottish conference and I expect there will be some good battles among the teams all year long," said Peacock.
"Every team is improving all the time. It'll certainly be interesting."
Dundee Stars, who made the play-off finals last season, Fife Flyers, Edinburgh Capitals and Braehead will also play teams from the other two conferences.
And Great Britain international Peacock welcomed the introduction of two new clubs - Milton Keynes and Guildford.
"The new format was the best outcome for the league and you want to see as many teams in the league as possible," he said.
"It'll be good as you'll play more cross-conference games.
"It's hard to say what Milton Keynes and Guildford will bring to the league, but it's great we've got two new teams coming in.
"I'm certain these two teams won't be coming in to make up the numbers."
Clan are seeking a new coach after the departure of Ryan Finnerty after his side's fifth-place finish.
"The outlook of the team will be different without Ryan and a new coach will come in with new ideas and systems," said Peacock.
"For me, Ryan did a good job and brought me to Braehead last year and I really enjoyed working with him. I'm sad to see him go.
"But a new coach coming in will have the full backing of the players and it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out."
Meanwhile, Dundee Stars have announced that 24-year-old netminder Craig Holland has signed a new deal to stay for a fourth season with the club.
Holland was signed by former coach Jeff Hutchins in 2014 and said the decision to work again with Marc LeFebvre and his team was straightforward.
"I can't wait to get started on the new season," he said.
"I really like the organisation, the rink and the fans and they've always made me feel welcome so it was an easy decision to make."
Duncan Enright thought he had been defeated by Conservative Suzanne Bartington in Witney East, tweeting: "Thanks for the opportunity to serve".
But after a recount he told followers: "Actually I won! Bundle of votes found under a Tory pile! Delighted!"
The Tories maintained their majority of 33 in West Oxfordshire, while Labour held on to Oxford City Council.
Labour took two seats off the Greens to increase its hold in Oxford, where it now has a majority of 20.
After the result, Mr Enright tweeted: "Would you believe it? Thank you to all my neighbours!"
He said: "It was my fault really. I think I jumped the gun in announcing my defeat, because there was a pile of votes which were all for me with the Conservative one on top."
Mr Enright added that he was "delighted and proud and humbled" to have been re-elected.
In 2015 he stood as a parliamentary candidate in Oxfordshire's Witney constituency and came second to David Cameron.
Conservative Harry St John was elected to the North Leigh ward after former council leader and election agent for the prime minister Sir Barry Norton stood down.
He said he was excited to have been successful and added: "I hope I will be able to do as well as Barry Norton has done over the last 30 years."
Lucy King denied manslaughter through gross negligence but was convicted by a majority jury verdict of 10:2.
Jurors heard how King, 39, waited two hours to call 999 after her daughter Frankie Hedgecock drank methadone.
Instead, she stayed in their Dover home, messaging friends on Facebook and watching The Jeremy Kyle show.
She told Maidstone Crown Court she bought the drug through a friend and left a dose in her sitting room of their De Burgh Street home in June 2015.
King admitted nodding off at about 07:30 BST, waking up to find the cup containing the liquid drug was almost empty.
She said she first tried to make the toddler sick but, as time progressed, Frankie seemed to show no ill-effects and she began to think her daughter had not drunk the liquid.
A couple of hours later Frankie was taken to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, but was pronounced dead at 11.04.
Sentencing King, Judge Jeremy Carey said: "This was an isolated incident but one that had calamitous consequences, and consequences for which you are responsible.
"You knew there was a real likelihood she had drunk the methadone. You took a chance in the hope it would not come back on you.
"Had you acted as you should have done, and as any right-minded parent would have done... had the emergency services been called straight away, there is the overwhelming probability Frankie would have survived."
Power cables were brought down by falling trees in the downpour and debris was sent flying by strong winds.
The freak high wind targeted the home of Jenny and Nick Griffiths at Winfarthing, near Diss.
"Then suddenly out of nowhere the wind made the whole house shake," Mr Griffiths said.
He was upstairs at the time and said the wind suddenly turned into a "massive maelstrom and I was watching all the debris flying round".
His wife was in an outside workshop, which she described as a "fairly flimsy building".
"I heard the wind like a train coming through. It took the parasol out of the garden table and it landed on the roof."
The cottage has lost about a quarter of its tiles, which crashed onto a conservatory causing considerable damage, the couple said.
Cables supplying power to the village were also brought down by falling trees, causing damage to two other properties either side of them.
"It seems the tornado was concentrated on our home," Mr Griffiths said.
Adam Drury of Norwich-based Weatherquest said very strong winds had been reported "but they could only be described as a tornado if they made contact with the ground".
Floods also affected other parts of Norfolk. The fire service reported they had been called out by dozens of residents whose homes have been affected.
Homes in Norwich city centre, Shelfangar near Diss, and East Harling were all affected by the heavy rain.
Anglian Water said drain clearance projects had been carried out over the past year and this had alleviated some problems, but the work involved several other agencies.
"We are carrying out design work and expect to begin improvements from January 2016, with project completion by April 2018," a spokesman said.
Rio 2016's organising committee is two weeks late in paying 8m euros (£7m) in travel grants to athletes.
It is thought up to 50 nations may be unable to afford to send athletes to the Games, which start on 7 September.
Rio mayor Eduardo Paes has promised to cover the costs.
However, there is an injunction on the use of government funds.
The grants, paid to national Paralympic bodies, cover the travel costs for athletes and officials.
The IPC said reports that the Games will not go ahead were "unfounded", but that cuts would be made to services if no extra funding was available.
Although Paes said he was prepared to provide BRL 150 million (£36.5m), funding from municipal and federal governments cannot used unless organisers are transparent with their financial records.
Craven added: "The organising committee has now committed to paying these grants by the end of the month.
"Failure to do so could result in a number of countries being unable to attend the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games."
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who won 16 Paralympic medals, including 11 gold, for Great Britain, said she was shocked by the scale of the problem.
She told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight that any cuts would set "a negative tone for the Games", adding: "This has to be sorted as soon as possible."
Friends of the Earth and Frack Free Ryedale claim the authority failed to consider the environmental impact of burning the gas extracted to create electricity at a nearby power station.
An application to frack at a site near Kirby Misperton was approved in May.
The council said it had considered every aspect of the application.
Campaigners say they may seek a judicial review of the authority's approval of energy company Third Energy's application.
Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release the gas inside.
Opponents say it can cause water contamination and earthquakes. Planners they say should also take account of the increase in noise and traffic pollution at such sites.
The protestors say their challenge focuses on the council's alleged failure to consider the impact of gas extracted through fracking being burned off at Third Energy's power station in Knapton.
In a letter to the authority they say they may seek judicial review if they do not receive "a satisfactory reply".
Jake White, legal adviser to Friends of the Earth, said legal action was the only course of redress open to campaigners.
"Given that we have legitimate legal concerns it is only right that the court may be called upon to decide them.
"Because the decision appears to have been arrived at without properly considering climate change, we believe it to be unlawful," he said.
In a statement, the authority said: "North Yorkshire County Council's planning committee gave proper regard to all material planning considerations before approving the application by Third Energy to undertake fracking for shale gas in the vicinity of Kirby Misperton.
"The County Council's legal team will consider the pre-action letter from Friends of the Earth. The Council will usually have a period of 14 days to respond formally."
The council passed the application on 23 May following a two-day hearing of the planning committee.
More than 4,300 objections to the application were received and 100 people gave evidence. The council revealed 36 representations were received in support of the application.
Third Energy, who were granted environmental permits in April to begin fracking, has previously said it is confident it can carry out the process safely.
Visit Wales used photos taken in the 1930s to help promote the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth.
A court in Dublin heard the damages case involves Pablo Star Ltd, which owns the copyright.
But the judge said if the case was to proceed, it should be heard in a court in Wales or England.
The Welsh government claimed it has sovereign immunity.
But Pablo Star's solicitor argued the activities with the disputed images were commercial.
The photos of Thomas and wife Caitlin were taken by a friend and fellow poet Vernon Watkins, who died in 1967.
One photo is entitled Just Married and features Thomas and Caitlin shortly after their wedding in 1937.
The second photo is labelled Pennard and shows the couple playing croquet.
In 2011, Pablo Star bought the copyright from Mr Watkins' widow Gwen, now in her 90s.
Pablo Star - which has offices registered in London and Dublin - has taken action against a number of companies in the UK and abroad, claiming copyright breaches.
Six claims were listed before the district court in Dublin on Thursday.
The judge dismissed four involving US and New Zealand publications, saying the court did not have jurisdiction over them.
The Welsh government case was also dismissed and the final case involving a Welsh citizen is due to be heard.
The Welsh government argued its actions are governmental activity protected under international law.
Pablo Star objected to the sovereign-immunity defence and said the promotional material on the website was part of a £4m commercial marketing campaign that included links to hotel accommodation.
Road safety is a bigger concern for parents than "stranger danger", suggests the survey for the sustainable transport group, Sustrans.
Some 470 parents of five to 11-year-olds in England, Scotland and Wales were questioned.
Sustrans wants speed limits reduced to 20mph in all built-up areas.
It wants local authorities to ring-fence part of their budget to build dedicated cycling and walking routes to school. And it wants any new housing developments to take into account the needs of walkers and cyclists.
The charity is asking supporters to write to their MPs to urge changes to transport policy to make cycling and walking to school safer.
Sustrans says the most recent government figures on road deaths and injuries show that in 2012, across England, Wales and Scotland, 33 children under the age of 16 died in accidents while walking or cycling and more than 1,800 were seriously injured.
"If a whole classroom of children had been killed under other circumstances there would be public outcry," said Sustrans chief executive Malcolm Shepherd.
"With today's children the least physically active in history and set to have shorter life expectancies than their parents... shuttling kids to the school gate in the car is not the answer.
"Giving children the opportunity to walk, scoot or cycle the school run is vital to their health and well-being, so making our roads safe enough that they can do this must be a top priority," said Mr Shepherd.
Of the parents who took part in the survey, some 18% said their child had experienced a vehicle not stopping or stopping too late at a pedestrian crossing, 13% said their child had nearly been hit by a speeding vehicle while crossing the road and 5% said their child had actually been hit.
Some 44% said road safety was their biggest concern, compared with 28% whose main worry was strangers.
The survey suggested that in a typical week some 61% of children would walk or cycle to or from school at some point, most of them with their parents or another adult.
A spokesman for the Department for Transport said: "Most drivers know that keeping to the speed limit can mean the difference between life and death in a collision and that they should always remain mindful of pedestrians, especially around schools where children are crossing.
"We want people to drive in a safe manner at all times, which is why we recently increased the fixed penalty to £100 for several driving offences, including careless driving, and why we have given local councils more flexibility so that it is cheaper and easier for them to implement 20mph limits and zones.
"We are also encouraging councils to think about cyclists when designing new road schemes and they can also install safer Puffin crossings to detect when pedestrians have safely crossed."
The Local Government Association said keeping children safe on the school run was of "paramount importance" to councils.
Cllr Peter Box, chairman of the body's Economy and Transport Board said many councils had already introduced 20mph speed limits around schools and were investing in cycling and walking despite funding cuts.
He said many head teachers had asked their councils to introduce CCTV camera cars around their schools to tackle drivers parking on zig-zag lines or pavements, forcing children and parents with buggies to walk in the road.
"Plans by the government to ban the use of CCTV cars in this way will do nothing to solve the real problem of safety outside our schools that this alarming survey clearly highlights and will only leave school children further at risk."
Dieumerci Mbokani is fit after six weeks out with a hamstring injury, while Harry Maguire's knee problem will be assessed.
Stoke midfielder Joe Allen is ruled out by injury, while Jonathan Walters is a doubt with a knee problem.
Goalkeeper Jack Butland could be involved for the first time since injuring his ankle in March last year.
Ibrahim Afellay is likely to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a knee operation.
John Roder: "For very different reasons both of these teams need a win this weekend.
"Hull require three victories from their remaining six fixtures to be safe, according to Phil Neville on last Saturday's Match of the Day.
"However, with vastly contrasting home and away records since Marco Silva's arrival, can Hull record their first away win under the new head coach?
"Stoke have finished in ninth place in the Premier League for the past three seasons but a run of four successive defeats - and only two wins in their last 11 - has seen them drop to 13th."
Twitter: @johnrodercomm
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "(Our) mindset is good. We've had a run of fixtures that was always going to test us.
"We have done okay in games but made mistakes to allow good opposition good opportunities to score.
"We've got six games to go and we are going to try to win every one."
Hull City head coach Marco Silva: "We need to pick up points away to stay in the Premier League.
"We need to show and prove we can do that. It is important to end the run away from home.
"I think Stoke is a good chance for us. We must believe."
Stoke are having a shocking time, with four straight defeats. I see them bouncing back with a win here though, because Hull are just not the same force on the road.

Konta, ranked 97th, won 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 after three hours and 23 minutes - a record for a women's match in New York.
The 24-year-old has now won 15 matches in a row and is into the last 32 of a Grand Slam for the first time.
She will face German 18th seed Andrea Petkovic in the third round on Saturday.
"To be honest, I'm so tired - I think both of us are," said Konta, who has guaranteed herself the biggest pay cheque of her career of at least $120,200 (£78,900).
"I didn't think she probably played her best today but credit to her, she's an incredible fighter and no matter what level she brings, she always brings her top-10 mentality.
"I had to fight for every point, it wasn't given to me, and I'm just happy to come back another day."
It is Konta's second win over a top-10 player, the first coming against world number eight Ekaterina Makarova at Eastbourne in July.
American Madison Brengle and China's Saisai Zheng had set a new mark on Monday at three hours and 20 minutes, but it lasted just three days.
Konta's final service game took her match to a new women's singles record for Flushing Meadows.
It is the longest women's match at the US Open since the tie-break was introduced in 1970.
"I was just fighting for each point, running down each ball and trying not to sit down at the end of the court after each point," said Konta.
The Briton converted a remarkable run of form over the North American hard-court season into the biggest win of her career on the Grand Slam stage.
It was Konta who made the running for the most part on a scorchingly hot court 17 at Flushing Meadows.
She took her seventh break point to move 4-3 ahead and recovered her poise to edge a tense tie-break after failing to serve out at 5-4.
Muguruza, 21, pushed hard in the second but Konta stood firm, coming back from 0-40 in a 12-minute game at 1-1 and later breaking back when the Spaniard served for the set.
It took a contentious call at 3-5 down in the tie-break to finally rattle the Briton - although it appeared the correct decision - and Muguruza went on to capitalise on her second set point.
The players briefly escaped the stifling conditions before the final set and it allowed Konta to cool down both mentally and physically.
An increasingly frustrated Muguruza was vulnerable on her forehand and second serve, and Konta rediscovered her earlier poise, breaking twice to lead 4-0 and serving out in style.
Since that breakthrough run to the quarter-finals at Eastbourne, Konta has lost just one match - against Russian Maria Sharapova in the first round of Wimbledon.
She then collected back-to-back titles on the lower-level challenger tour in Canada, won three matches in US Open qualifying and has now beaten American Louisa Chirico and Muguruza in the main draw.
Konta is well on course to challenge Heather Watson, ranked 61st, for the position of British number one.
•Konta relocated her training to Gijon in northern Spain at the end of last year under the guidance of coaches Esteban Carril and Jose-Manuel Garcia.
•She has also been working with "mental coach" Juan Coto, a London-based Spaniard who also works with hedge fund managers and city workers.
The 23-year-old made 15 appearances while on loan earlier this term before Cardiff's injury problems led to them recalling him in January.
"I'm happy to be back. The lads have kept the team in a good position in the league, and hopefully we can really kick on," he told Gillingham's website.
The Gills are currently third in the League One table.
Manager Justin Edinburgh has brought Oshilaja back following injuries to John Egan and Bristol City loanee Adam El-Abd.
He has made three first-team appearances for Cardiff and has also had loan spells at Newport County - where he played under Edinburgh - Sheffield Wednesday and AFC Wimbledon.

Bwin had originally agreed to an offer from 888, worth about £900m, but GVC, the owner of Sportingbet, fought back.
Bwin - whose brands include Partypoker, Partycasino and Foxy Bingo - said GVC's offer was "fair and reasonable".
Bwin chairman Philip Yea said in a company video that shareholders were split about abandoning the 888 offer.
"There was a pretty even split of those that expressed views one way or the other. But we also had a significant block of shares that was happy to support the board on its deliberations,"
GVC's offer of 25p in cash and 0.231 new GVC shares comes to nearly 130p per Bwin.party share based on Thursday's closing price.
Bwin said the GVC offer provided £120m additional value compared with the 888 bid.
The company said they were also swayed by higher expected savings and GVC's track record of integrating acquisitions, such as that of Sportingbet in 2013.
Earlier this week it was reported that GVC was prepared to launch a hostile bid for Bwin.
The 888 board confirmed it had withdrawn from the bidding process saying it cannot see sufficient value in Bwin to increase its offer.
Stricter regulations are pushing online gambling companies to merge to try and reduce operating costs.
Size is also seen as vital to ensure competitiveness in an online market buoyed by the use of tablets and mobiles.
Shares in Bwin, rose in early trading in response to the news, but have since fallen.
GVC shares closed down by nearly 4%. Meanwhile 888 shares closed up by 0.31%.
The hunting of foxes with hounds was banned under the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act in 2002.
But there have not been any successful prosecutions since - with police branding the legislation "unworkable".
A review by Lord Bonomy also suggested introducing independent monitors to randomly check on the activities of hunts.
At present, dogs can still be used to flush out foxes and chase them towards the hunts, where the foxes are shot.
But there have been allegations that the law has been broken because guns have not been visibly present.
A review of the legislation was ordered by the Scottish government last year, with Lord Bonomy being asked to examine whether the existing law gave adequate protection to wild mammals, while at the same time allowing effective control of these animals where necessary.
In his report, Lord Bonomy concluded that there were "aspects and features of the legislation which complicate unduly the detection, investigation and prosecution of alleged offences".
And he said there were grounds for suspecting that illegal hunting may still take place, and that those suspicions should be addressed.
He suggested that hunt monitors, who would observe hunts on a random basis, could be introduced either through legislation or a voluntary scheme.
The monitors could submit a report of their observations to Scottish Ministers, with an annual summary included in the Wildlife Crime in Scotland Annual Report. The judge also said the monitors' observations could be admissible evidence in court.
His report also recommended:
Responding to the report's publication, Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham said Scotland had "led the way" in addressing animal welfare concerns, and the government remained committed to ensuring the "highest levels of welfare" for the country's wild animals.
She added: "We will now carefully consider the findings, with a view to responding in 2017. Any ensuing proposals for legislative change will be subject to the proper consultation processes."
There are few people in the UK who are as far apart in their views as those who practice hunting and those who oppose it. And yet the senior judge Lord Bonomy has produced a set of proposals which appear to satisfy both.
That outcome cannot be underestimated. Most of his recommendations were expected; clarifying the language of the act, creating a code of practice.
The most surprising is the suggestion of appointing independent monitors to randomly track the activities of hunts.
Policing the law is a big job. Where the two sides differ is in their interpretation of what Lord Bonomy concludes.
League Against Cruel Sports Scotland says his report shows there is "considerable law-breaking."
The pro-hunting Scottish Countryside Alliance interprets it by saying there is no evidence packs "are acting outwith the legislation."
Ministers will wait until next year to decide what to do next. It may be at that detailed stage that this initial unity diminishes.
Scottish Greens MSP Mark Ruskell said the current legislation was not fit for purpose, and claimed wild animal hunters had been able to exploit it using loopholes.
He added: "Lord Bonomy's report is clear that changes are needed to introduce greater restriction and monitoring of hunting and that landowners should also be liable for breaches of the law.
"The Scottish government must act fast to bring amending legislation to parliament and prevent further animal cruelty from taking place."
The League Against Cruel Sports called on the Scottish government to strengthen the law before the current fox hunting season closes at the end of March 2017.
Its Scottish director, Robbie Marsland, said: "This review set out to evaluate whether the current law banning hunting in Scotland works.
"Lord Bonomy's robust and detailed examination clearly shows that it doesn't, and that he agrees with us and Police Scotland that improvements are essential if it is to stand any chance of fulfilling its purpose of protecting wild animals."
The Countryside Alliance, which represents hunts, said it was pleased that the inquiry had "recognised the importance of gun packs for fox control and rejected unjustified calls for further restrictions".
But it said it does not believe there is a significant problem with the enforcement of the current legislation, and said Police Scotland had confirmed to MSPs in January that there was "no evidence to suggest that the mounted foxhound packs that exist are acting outwith the legislation that is in place at the moment".
At the weekend, two charities published what they claimed was proof that a fox was killed by dogs during a recent hunt in Renfrewshire.
A post-mortem examination of the animal concluded that a gun wound was unlikely to be the main cause of death and that extensive other injuries were likely to have been inflicted by dogs.
The Countryside Alliance said the animal had been shot in accordance with the law.

Floodwaters receded on Sunday but many villages were still inundated.
At least 151 people have been killed and nearly 500,000 displaced in the flooding and mudslides triggered by heavy rains on Friday.
Another 111 people are still missing, officials said. Military boats and helicopters are helping rescuers.
Sri Lanka's Daily Mirror newspaper said a second Indian naval ship, the INS Shardul, had arrived in Colombo with relief supplies and inflatable boats.
The INS Kirch arrived on Saturday.
Correspondents say rescue workers are using a break in the weather to deliver much-needed aid to the worst-hit areas.
The flooding is believed to be the worst since May 2003 when a similarly powerful monsoon from the southwest destroyed 10,000 homes and killed 250 people.
Most of the deaths in the latest floods were caused by landslides.
We're now in Weyangala village in the southern Kalutara district. The village is inundated after Friday's flood, with water levels well above homes, shops, places of worship and schools. Over 50 people died in this district, one of the worst affected.
The roads are completely under water.
Residents rely on boat services to get to their homes or source supplies. We see families and children waiting for supplies.
Thousands here have been displaced and are cut off from basic services. In addition to severe flooding, this village witnessed a mudslide that claimed seven lives, including those of six children.
Water levels are gradually receding in many areas but with more rain predicted on Monday residents are scared.
At least five mudslides were reported in Kalutara district and residents of the town of Baduraliya said it had been badly affected.
"Water came to our house. It's very bad for us because we can't go to school, tuition classes, and we can't go to the town. and many people face this situation. Many houses are flooded," Devindi Dissanayake told Reuters news agency.

Rhona Vessey, 50, told benefits staff her poor physical condition meant she was often too weak to lift a shopping bag.
But a Department for Work and Pensions probe found she was secretly taking part in "lengthy marching routines".
She admitted the fraud to magistrates and has been told to pay the cash back.
Lynn Bickley, prosecuting at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court, said Vessey, from Little Eaton, had claimed a problem with her legs meant she was virtually unable to walk.
She said she would get out of breath after about 20m (65ft) and felt anxious if people looked at her when she was outside.
But following a tip-off by a member of the public, a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) investigation found she was actually taking part in lengthy and complex marching routines with her band.
Miss Bickley said: "The result of the surveillance was that on three occasions she was observed marching in the band with a drum strapped to her shoulder and there were no limitations on her mobility."
Vessey was ordered to return the £6,251 in benefits she received between October 2014 and October 2015 and given a 10-week community order confining her to her house from 19:00 to 07:00.
District Judge Jonathan Taaffe said: "This is not a victimless crime because there is no bottomless pit of money that people can fraudulently claim from."
A DWP spokesman said: "Only a small minority of people try to cheat the benefits system, but cases like this show how we are rooting out those who are stealing taxpayers' money." | A woman who claimed she could "barely walk" has been ordered to repay £6,000 in benefits after being spotted banging a drum in a marching band. | 40,436,376 | 366 | 39 | false |
To mark Women's Sport Week 2016, England captain and regular BBC Sport columnist Heather Knight looks at the perception of women's cricket around the world, as she prepares for her first overseas international series as skipper.
Two years ago, I found myself halfway up Mount Kilimanjaro facing, and being dwarfed by, the "Barranco Wall" - the steepest section of the ascent that literally looks like an inaccessible giant wall in front of you.
One of the group asked how on earth we were we going to make it up there without any climbing equipment? "There is a path but it's a tricky one" was the response, causing some of the group to turn a slightly paler colour!
A glance behind to see the clouds below, however, showed how far we had come and on we plodded. It feels like women's cricket globally is in a similar position to this, having come a long way, still with a long way to go - but it feels like we are just starting to crack that "Barranco Wall".
The first Kia Super League, in the same year as the inaugural Women's Big Bash League in Australia this year, is a continuation of incredible progress being made in the women's game.
The Super League and Big Bash were both very successful, on and off the pitch. There are more professional contracts on offer for women cricketers, an increase in TV and radio coverage and, most importantly, more people coming to watch matches.
The Super League in particular generated more interest than I thought it would. It was brilliant to see such fantastic crowds throughout the group stages of the competition and on finals day in Chelmsford.
I am incredibly lucky to play in a country where the governing body, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), has invested so much in all levels of the women's game.
The likes of Australia and New Zealand are the same, too. In Australia, New South Wales have just gone fully professional and players from both countries are affiliated to the men's players' unions, just like we are part of the Professional Cricketers' Association.
However, players in some other countries aren't as lucky and this is where even more progress can be made.
In Sri Lanka, they play hardly any cricket outside of internationals, while the Pakistan team used to have to train behind closed doors.
But it's not about only looking after the very best players. Money at the top obviously helps, but it is also about opportunities, facilities and infrastructure.
The next big opportunity in this country is the Women's World Cup, which England is hosting next summer. The marketing campaign for this has been released this week to coincide with Women's Sport Week, and I know that everyone at the ECB and International Cricket Council are already working really hard to deliver the biggest and best global women's cricket event there has ever been.
I think one aim is to sell out Lord's for the final - it is amazing to think that there could be 28,500 people at the home of cricket watching women's cricket.
England have the best supporters of women's cricket in the world, so I have every confidence that this could happen, and the upward trend in the game will continue.
Following our World Cup next summer, England is also due to host the women's hockey and netball World Cups in 2018 and 2019 respectively. To mark this unique opportunity for women's sport, the ECB, England Hockey and England Netball have come together to launch "TeamUp", with the dual aims of promoting each event, alongside encouraging women and girls across the country to get involved and play the three sports.
I was involved in the official launch of "TeamUp" earlier this week, and enjoyed a morning at St Edward's Primary School in north London, meeting England women's hockey captain, Kate Richardson-Walsh, and England netballer, Jo Harten. It's always great to meet players from other sports, and I look forward to catching up with them again and supporting them over the next three years.
The World Cup, though, is for next summer, and our immediate focus is on the five matches here in Jamaica.
Our preparations have been disrupted by Hurricane Matthew, which thankfully didn't turn out to be as strong in Jamaica as other parts of the Caribbean, which have been devastated.
For a little while, everything stopped. The hotel was boarded up and we could not train at the Trelawny Stadium because the staff there had gone to make sure their homes were prepared.
At times like that, you really find out who your friends are, going off the messages you receive checking that you're OK. I heard from mates and my boyfriend back home, but I didn't even get a message from my parents!
The girls were pretty chilled about it, though there was a little concern when we realised how strong the storm could be, and our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected, in particular in Haiti over the last couple of days.
In the end, it passed us here in Montego Bay with rain, but not a great deal of wind and we were allowed out pretty quickly. Still, because we couldn't go to the stadium, we ended up practising on the beach.
We did some bowling, throwing, and fielding. Trying to pick up a ball on the uneven ground, or spotting the white leather against white sand is harder than you think.
This tour is my first as captain and comes after we beat Pakistan convincingly at home in the summer. On that occasion, I don't think Pakistan played poorly; it's just that we were brilliant.
Now we face the World T20 champions on their home patch, so it is certainly going to be another test for us and we will no doubt learn even more about where we are as a team.
The Windies are just above us in the ICC Women's Championship and have home advantage, but we have prepared for slow, turning pitches and long, straggly outfields.
They have world-class players, but we are ready. It will be an exciting challenge.

A solar storm meant that the Aurora Australis, the southern counterpart of the Aurora Borealis, was visible much further north than it usually is.
Aurorae occur when cosmic rays or solar wind interact with the earth's upper atmosphere.
The aurora is forecast to be active again on Thursday night.
Earlier this week many New Zealanders braved the cold to capture images of the phenomenon.
Blair Pattinson, a photographer from Queenstown is part of a community of "aurora chasers".
"When you look at places [like] Finland, Iceland, North Canada, northern lights are very common," he told the BBC.
"We see it more as a treat, when you see an aurora that is strong enough. It's quite special. Many people wait years before they see them."
Stephen Voss, a medical practitioner based at the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island, has been chasing aurorae for the last 15 years.
"There is one word to describe the experience of every New Zealander who was out photographing the aurora this week ...freezing," he told the BBC.
"We've had our coldest week of the winter this week with the entire South Island dropping well into sub-zero temperatures overnight."
The solid iron core is actually crystalline, surrounded by liquid.
But the temperature at which that crystal can form had been a subject of long-running debate.
Experiments outlined in Science used X-rays to probe tiny samples of iron at extraordinary pressures to examine how the iron crystals form and melt.
Seismic waves captured after earthquakes around the globe can give a great deal of information as to the thickness and density of layers in the Earth, but they give no indication of temperature.
That has to be worked out either in computer models that simulate the Earth's insides, or in the laboratory.
Measurements in the early 1990s of iron's "melting curves" - from which the core's temperature can be deduced - suggested a core temperature of about 5,000C.
"It was just the beginning of these kinds of measurements so they made a first estimate... to constrain the temperature inside the Earth," said Agnes Dewaele of the French research agency CEA and a co-author of the new research.
"Other people made other measurements and calculations with computers and nothing was in agreement. It was not good for our field that we didn't agree with each other," she told BBC News.
The core temperature is crucial to a number of disciplines that study regions of our planet's interior that will never be accessed directly - guiding our understanding of everything from earthquakes to the Earth's magnetic field.
"We have to give answers to geophysicists, seismologists, geodynamicists - they need some data to feed their computer models," Dr Dewaele said.
The team has now revisited those 20-year-old measurements, making use of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility - one of the world's most intense sources of X-rays.
To replicate the enormous pressures at the core boundary - more than a million times the pressure at sea level - they used a device called a diamond anvil cell - essentially a tiny sample held between the points of two precision-machined synthetic diamonds.
Once the team's iron samples were subjected to the high pressures and high temperatures using a laser, the scientists used X-ray beams to carry out "diffraction" - bouncing X-rays off the nuclei of the iron atoms and watching how the pattern changed as the iron changed from solid to liquid.
Those diffraction patterns give more insight into partially molten states of iron, which the team believes were what the researchers were measuring in the first experiments.
They suggest a core temperature of about 6,000C, give or take 500C - roughly that of the Sun's surface.
But importantly, Dr Dewaele said, "now everything agrees".
Edwina Hart, who was attending a crisis summit in Rotherham, warned that high energy costs and cheap imports were threatening plants in Wales.
Tata Steel has said it planned to mothball some operations at Llanwern, Newport, and Shotton, Flintshire.
UK ministers called the summit a chance to show support for a "vital industry".
"The steel industry in Wales and across the UK continues to be seriously disadvantaged by high energy costs and cheap imports," she said ahead of the summit.
"These combined pressures mean that a number of Wales-based companies are reaching a critical point and jobs are in jeopardy.
"More support to address these matters at a UK level will be key in allowing Welsh businesses to operate on a level playing field, not only in the UK but also within global markets.
"I hope today that we can reach agreement to try to secure a collaborative and sustainable way forward."
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb described the summit on Friday as an "opportunity to demonstrate our support for this vital industry, which is so important to the Welsh economy".
"I hope the discussions will result in a positive plan of action that will help the steel industry weather what are without question challenging global conditions," he said.
Channelling the comic book style of Roy Lichtenstein, the 24-year-old Pakistani-Canadian has poured her energy into drawing what she knew - not realising at first how her satirical take would strike a chord with other young people from the Indian diaspora.
And now, the sharp-witted self-proclaimed "stubborn" artist is bringing her experiences of the "desi world" and more specifically the tribe known as "the aunties" to the mainstream through her art.
The term desi derived from the Sanskrit word "desha", meaning country or land, and is used to refer to those of South Asian heritage who live abroad - the diaspora.
"I'm taking what already exists [in our culture] and laughing about it like an inside joke," Qamar says.
Her art featuring hyperbolic characters is so relatable for young people from similar backgrounds that fan comments such as "My life story" and "My mum, non-stop" are regularly left on her pages.
Which takes us on to the aunties...
They feature heavily in Qamar's Burnt the Rotis series but who are they? And, for those not in the know, what makes a desi "auntie" so special?
"They're women in your family who gossip about your life for no reason. They pretend to be your mother or talk about you to your mother about what you are up to.
"They want to know your personal things like bowel movements or blood type. Sometimes they plot to get you in trouble. Some of them even say they can use black magic... They go to extremes to make your life difficult," Qamar explains.
Luckily her own aunts aren't like that.
"My own aunties are not that bad. I'm close to my family - we have no bad blood. It's the aunties I see in soap operas who I find hilarious," she says.
But that has not stopped her from observing her family life and exaggerating it through her art.
"I always thought my family was dysfunctional. My family contains four very different personalities - my mum, dad, me and my brother. I thought certain things only happened in my family.
"The one piece I've drawn where the mother is yelling at her husband to call the police as they don't know where their daughter is at that very minute and could be dead - that's based on my own experiences.
"I didn't pick up the phone one afternoon as I was in class but they thought I had gone missing and was dead.
"I didn't have a lot of brown friends when I was younger to confirm these stereotypes. I didn't know that everybody felt this way. But girls, they tag their girl friends in the pictures I post. That's probably not literally them but they wish they could be that person in the art at that moment," Qamar says.
Qamar began her project after she was made redundant from her advertising job just under a year ago. She says: "I was doodling and looking for inspiration and began mining my own culture.
"I moved over from Pakistan to Canada when I was a child and wanted to create something that would merge these two cultures together. I thought I needed some 'desi-ness' in my work. I started doing generic henna designs but lots of people were doing that. It was also too abstract. I wanted to create art with a message - something people would get straight away."
"I was researching lots of artists to see what styles worked. When you see a Lichtenstein piece, you know exactly what you have in front of you. So I tried to emulate that but what I drew looked like an auntie. What he drew looked like a white lady, but mine differed.
"When I saw what I had in front of me on the paper, I started wondering 'what would my mum say'. That's how it all started.
"My mum gives me ideas too. I asked her if she was watching any Indian dramas and that's where the inspiration for the 'I Put Salt in her Chai' piece came from. She told me that an auntie was putting salt in someone's chai - which is a bit malicious but still quite fun."
One of her most popular postings, with more than 3,400 likes, showcases a doe-eyed, downcast woman saying: "Even coconut oil can't fix this marriage."
For South Asian families, coconut oil tends to be a staple household item with a multitude of uses and is often marketed as having restorative properties... just maybe not in this case.
Qamar didn't didn't realise she would start getting global hits on her posts. "I thought people in North America would like it and Indian people would hate it. It's just light-hearted fun.
"However, I refuse to do straight up cultural appropriation e.g. making Marilyn Monroe into an 'auntie'. I won't take that step."
Qamar, who has started to exhibit and sell her work through her Hatecopy brand, says the emerging interest has made her change the way she works on the art and treat the enterprise more like a business.
She has invested in digital art tools so she can create the work and sell more prints more quickly.
"But I have been asked about why I still don't fill in my characters and give them colour," she adds.
"If you can't establish this is an Indian auntie, well that's not my problem. I do it for aesthetics, not to be politically correct."
"The most political piece I've done I call 'Uncle Pride' and shows two uncles kissing."
Qamar says she thought it would a humorous way to introduce the important concept of marriage equality, especially after the US Supreme Court said gay couples had a constitutional right to get wed.
She adds: "Most of the feedback to my work has been positive.
"The others - well they can just get over it."
Johnny Lewis, who was in The O.C. but was most famous for his role in US TV drama the Sons of Anarchy, is thought to have fallen or jumped to his death from where he lived near Hollywood.
Police went to the house in the Los Feliz area of the city on Wednesday.
The body of 81-year-old Catherine Davis was found inside.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Commander Andrew Smith said: "She was possibly beaten, although coroner's officials will determine the exact cause of death."
Neighbours are reported to have heard a woman screaming at the property.
The 28-year-old actor had rented a room from Catherine Davis for a short period of time.
"Although there are no witnesses, he is suspected of killing her," Commander Smith said.
"No-one was at home at the time and the investigators were not seeking anyone else for the crime."
Neighbours also told officers that a man had jumped a fence, assaulted a painter and homeowner and jumped back.
Police said they were both treated for minor injuries.
Commander Smith said: "At some point, Johnny jumped or fell from the home's roof, garage, balcony, stairs or patio area."
It is not yet clear how he died.
Johnny Lewis had a criminal record and earlier this year was treated for drug, alcohol and psychiatric problems.
He was released from Los Angeles County jail a week ago, according to the county sheriff's website.
The star, whose full name was Jonathan Kendrick Lewis, was romantically linked with Katy Perry from 2006 for about 18 months.
It's thought two of her songs The One That Got Away and Circle the Drain were inspired by him.
His acting career spanned more than a decade, with mainly small roles.
He was best known for playing Kip Epps in US cable TV show the Sons of Anarchy, which was about a motorcycle gang.
In The O.C. he played Dennis "Chili" Childress for two seasons.
More prominent film roles included a part in film Aliens vs Predator - Requiem in 2007 and the 2010 movie The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart.
"It's a terrible tragedy," added Commander Smith.
"The best we're piecing together now is that some type of altercation occurred resulting in the death of the woman."
This is 10,000 years earlier than previous evidence had indicated.
The extinct animal's bones display distinctive cut marks that can only have been produced by stone and ivory-tipped hunting and butchery tools.
Being able to exploit mammoths would have been key to these early settlers' spread and survival in the Arctic.
Not only would the great beasts have represented a high-energy food source, but their tusks and bones would have been a source of practical materials in a landscape where there are few suitable rocks from which to make spear tips, and other critical technologies.
"Not all areas - and the location of the mammoth find is among them - provide good lithic raw material. This is very typical for most of northern West Siberia," explained Vladimir Pitulko, who is part of the team that reports the discovery in this week's Science magazine.
He told the BBC that everything about the way these Arctic colonisers took down the mammoth demonstrates them to have been "very skilled and organised hunters and tool makers".
The carcass was uncovered from a steep bank on the eastern shore of Siberia's remote Yenisei Bay, very close to the Sopochnaya Karga (SK) meteorological station. The latitude is 72 degrees North. By way of comparison, the previous firmly dated evidence for human occupation this far north comes from 35,000 years ago.
The mammoth has various injuries to its head and ribs, but perhaps the most intriguing is the puncture mark in a cheek bone. Dr Pitulko and colleagues say it was produced by a sharp, robust implement, and from its geometry was very likely delivered when the animal was on the ground.
They write in their Science paper: "This injury itself is probably the result of a missed blow, targeting the base of the trunk.
"This specific hunting method is still practised in Africa by elephant hunters, who target the base of the trunk to cut major arteries and cause mortal bleeding. This blow becomes necessary after the animal has been sufficiently injured, and the SK mammoth displays numerous injuries in the thoracic (chest) area."
The team discusses the mammoth find in the context of other archaeological discoveries from across the Siberian Arctic. The researchers build a picture of human settlers getting themselves close enough to the far northeast of Russia that they could have made an early bid to cross into North America before the last ice age became so severe that the way would have been blocked. This would have been prior to 30,000 years ago.
Currently, the evidence in northwest America does not support this, but Dr Pitulko said he and other scientists would continue to investigate the idea.
"These finds change our mind on possible options and this is going to give a new stimulus for further research," he told BBC News.
"These finds do not give an immediate answer, but allow thinking about the possibilities."
Dr Pitulko is affiliated to the Institute for the History of Material Culture, at the Russian Academy of Sciences, in St Petersburg.

Two bags, one containing tablets and the other a white substance, were found at back of Central Primary School on the town's Scroggy Road on Monday.
Police seized the bags and the contents are being forensically examined.
They have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
The revelation came during questioning of a senior detective who led the investigation into the murders.
Ten Protestant men were shot dead by the IRA in the attack in County Armagh in 1976.
They were shot after gunmen stopped their bus on their way home from work.
The inquest heard on Wednesday about a list of names of those involved in the attack, supplied by a self-confessed IRA man in December 1976.
Among those named on the list was a man given the cypher "s104".
He had "usually travelled" on the minibus with the other workmen said a barrister for the families of the victims.
This could mean that he was involved in setting up his workmates for slaughter, he added.
The list of names was put to the detective who led the investigation following the murders.
Det Ch Insp James Mitchell said he could not confirm whether or not he had seen it before, but he identified all of those named as members of the Provisional IRA.
He added that most, if not all of them, would have been living in the Republic of Ireland and so would have been beyond the reach of the RUC as on the whole the government in the Republic of Ireland were not co-operating when it came to extradition.
The former senior officer was asked about his resourcing, given that it has been reported that 1,000 officers are involved in the recent Manchester suicide attack investigation.
He said the manpower available to him was totally inadequate with nine additional detectives sent from Belfast for only a period of weeks.
Last Friday Det Ch Insp Mitchell apologised to the victims' families for not getting the satisfaction they had hoped for.
He said the "workload at the time" and "depleted resources" led to weaknesses in the investigation.
In 2011, a review of the case was carried out by the Historical Enquiries Team (HET).
The HET investigation established that no evidence remained.
It also said that some of the original evidence had been destroyed in a fire at the laboratory eight months after the killings.
The seventh-placed Shrimpers had been hoping to move up into the top six with a win.
But two Dons goals in nine minutes at the start of the second half saw Phil Brown's side suffer a costly setback.
MK Dons came closest to scoring in the first 45 minutes when Harvey Barnes' effort was cleared off the goal-line by a sliding Jason Demetriou.
However, the visitors broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute with centre-back Joe Walsh heading home a right-wing corner from Ben Reeves.
Southend almost netted an immediate equaliser with Anthony Wordsworth curling a 25 yard free-kick against the outside of the left post.
But Dons doubled their lead in the 62nd minute with former Shrimpers loanee Reeves firing home after Christian Walton had parried a shot from Kieran Agard.
Walton then did well to deny both Agard and Barnes before Southend rallied late on with Anton Ferdinand hitting the post and Simon Cox netting an injury-time penalty after Marc-Antoine Fortune had been brought down by George Baldock.

The first is poverty.
On the outskirts of the capital lie sprawling, chaotic shanty-towns of small brick shacks which snake up the hillsides. Beyond the city limits, the poverty quickly changes in character from urban to rural. The simple homes are made of wood and corrugated iron, many with dirt floors, set in the middle of hectares of banana trees and tropical grasslands.
It is not hard to see why this is the poorest country in the Americas after Haiti.
But it is on arriving at the youth prison that the other main issue in the country becomes clear: violent crime.
Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world. Inside Renaciendo, members of the two main gangs which dominate swathes of this Central American nation are housed in separate prison blocks. The Mara 18 gang on one side, their rivals the Mara Salvatrucha on the other.
The inmates may be young, some barely teenagers, but they have led lives of criminals twice their age. Some are inside for murder, others were hit-men, some disposed of dismembered bodies. Not one of them is older than 17.
As I speak to a group of boys from the Mara 18, they explain how the gang, which they refer to as "The Big Family", means everything to them and demands their total commitment to the cause.
"From a young age, I started to run with the Mara 18," says Luis, though that's not his real name. A sharp-eyed but troubled young man, he is unrepentant about the crimes he has been involved in, saying everything was for the good of his "barrio" or neighbourhood.
"The Mara 18 showed me love and always tried to understand me. We're brothers. The Big Family, you know?"
His cellmate echoes the sentiment of total dedication. "This isn't a game for us. This is serious. The Mara 18 is like our job or our families."
The man who has spent the most time getting to know the gang members since they were arrested is Jose Angel Solano, a youth worker at the jail. He says the fact that a general election is being held on Sunday is meaningless to them.
"For these young people [the election] means absolutely nothing. They live far from the political life of the country, inside their world."
Jose Angel too feels disillusioned by the presidential candidates and their proposals to tackle security in Honduras.
"Every four years we get our hopes up that a new government is going to bring in new ideas, especially for the youth. But we're tired now because four years pass, and then four more and then four more after that, and it's always the same: more poverty, more young people in the streets, more crime."
In many ways, this race has become a chance for two sides to fight out their legitimacy following the moment in contemporary history which caused more social conflict in Honduras than any other - the coup of 2009 which ousted the then-president, Mel Zelaya.
Mr Zelaya's supporters are backing his wife, Xiomara Castro, who is making a bid for the presidency under a newly-formed political party, Libre, in which the ex-president plays a significant role.
"We are not improvising and this isn't about personal aspirations," Mr Zelaya told the BBC at his home in Tegucigalpa. His wife has the credentials to lead the country, he insists, and says the new party is a reaction to the 2009 coup.
"This is a struggle which grew up in the wake of the coup and a revolutionary party which is resisting against violence, against crime, against everything that has happened since the coup d'etat. The people are rising up."
But if the former first lady hopes to move back into the presidential palace, this time as the leader of Honduras, she will have to defeat the candidate of the party which openly backed the coup against her husband. The governing National Party candidate, Juan Orlando Hernandez, was until recently the president of the National Congress.
Despite his party being in power for the last three years as well as many times in the past, he places the blame for the violence, poverty and disenfranchisement in Honduras firmly at the feet of Mel Zelaya.
"Because of the conduct of the previous government and the party now called Libre, Honduras almost became a failed state," Mr Hernandez told the BBC. Since the coup, he argues, the government has put the conditions in place to move the country forward, such as starting to purge the justice system of its links to organised crime.
"I'm an optimist by nature," he says. "I guarantee you that what is on the one hand a crisis, can be seen on the other as a great window of opportunity."
Many people in Honduras, particularly the young, would undoubtedly welcome a genuine "window of opportunity".
However, in a country with one of the lowest GDPs per capita in the Americas, where doctors, teachers and government professionals have gone unpaid for months, with rapidly dwindling foreign currency reserves and spiralling debt, not to mention the high levels of violent crime, they are sceptical that one will emerge any time soon.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said it was behind the attack earlier this month.
The song "Meme Pas Peur", meaning not a bit afraid, was filmed on Grand Bassam beach, where the gunmen opened fire.
The lyrics, sung in French, include the lines "you kill innocents for lost causes" and "you won't go to paradise".

The defiant lyrics insist "in Ivory Coast, we're on our feet".
Some lyrics are directed at the militants including: "What are you doing on the beaches? Because of 70 virgins, you kill innocent people.
"In the name of God, you there, you won't go to paradise".
And some are critical of the AQIM's interpretation of Islam, arguing "Islam is a religion that promotes love, you kill innocents for lost causes".
The song's producer Chico Lacoste told the BBC that he decided to make a song to "tell the whole world that: 'Yes it's true that Ivory Coast has been hit but we have not fallen down'".
The BBC's Tamasin Ford in Abidjan says music is a typical reaction to a crisis in Ivory Coast and was used to ask for their war to stop and push for reconciliation.
A song has even been released in reaction to the bird flu epidemic, our correspondent adds.
Cyrenians Cymru, in Swansea, which helps the homeless and vulnerable, has received more than £1.1m from the Big Lottery Fund over the last decade.
The charity said it was speaking to all the organisations it works with to devise a plan to keep the projects going.
As part of the investigation, two people have been released on bail.
On Wednesday, trustees of the charity said they had declared it insolvent.
Sixth seed Konta, 26, takes on the 37-year-old American in Thursday's second Centre Court match at about 15:00 BST.
It is the first time since Virginia Wade in 1978 that Britain has had a woman in the Wimbledon semi-finals.
Spain's Garbine Muguruza plays Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia in the first semi-final at 13:00.
Konta is one win from her first Grand Slam final and two from matching Wade's victory of 1977.
She was rated by bookmakers as the tournament favourite as early as the third round, and her dramatic quarter-final win over Simona Halep attracted the biggest television audience of the tournament so far.
"We all think Jo has got such a good chance to win," the 72-year-old Wade told the BBC.
"You have to embrace and celebrate for a bit, embrace the exhilaration, but then you have to get right back down to work.
"I would have someone else read the newspapers for you and not set eyes on them."
Hopes of a British double were dashed with defending champion Andy Murray's defeat by Sam Querrey on Wednesday, but the men's world number one said: "I hope she goes on to win the tournament.
"She's certainly got a fantastic chance - there's no reason why she can't do it."
Konta and Williams might be at different ends of the spectrum in terms of Grand Slam experience, but history is on the line for both women in Thursday's second semi-final.

The British player has coped serenely thus far, despite the growing sense of hope and belief among the home crowd.
"In terms of the home support I feel very excited and very humbled by it," said Konta.
"When you get a massive crowd of people cheering, making that sort of noise in a stadium, you do get goosebumps."
Williams, seeded 10th, is on the brink of a remarkable achievement of her own, with the prospect of an eighth major title and first since 2008 looming large.
The American's age is an obvious talking point - she is the oldest player to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1994 - but she has been a consistent contender in the Grand Slams over the past year.
Having reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon 12 months ago and the Australian Open final in January, age is not a concern for the former world number one.
"When you're out there, all you're thinking about - especially at least on my side - all I can control is myself," said Williams, playing her 20th Wimbledon.
"In the thick of the match, it's not in your head."
Kim Clijsters, former world number one: "A lot of people talk about Jo having to deal with the pressure of playing at home, but on the other hand I think it is such a huge advantage at times - if like her you can not be too distracted too much by everything that is going on."
Sam Smith, former British number one: "Her competiveness, her fitness, the way she has managed her emotions and stayed focused are all weapons that will help Jo massively. Her game is just fantastic at the moment. The serving is awesome and her groundstrokes are so strong - you just never think she is going to miss a backhand."
Patrick Mouratoglou, coach of Serena Williams: "Venus is back to a great level. She didn't waste time here, she looks confident, she is playing great and has a lot of physical and mental energy. Johanna on the other side wasted a lot of energy. It's exhausting physically and mentally. It's difficult to maintain that every match and at a certain point it's going to come back to hurt her."

The pair have met five times, with Konta leading 3-2 but Williams having won their most recent encounter on the Rome clay two months ago.
This will be their first meeting on grass, the surface on which Williams won five of her seven major titles between 2000 and 2008.
Konta, in contrast, had just one win to her name in five previous visits to the All England Club before this year.
The Briton leads the Wimbledon aces chart on 28, ahead of Williams on 27, and both women base their games around impressive serves and strong backhands.
The American has made smoother progress through the draw, dropping just one set over the course of five matches and seven hours on court.
Konta has required over 10 hours, winning three dramatic three-set matches along the way.
Ranked 126th in the world when she played at Wimbledon two years ago, she is set to break into the top five after the tournament and would move up to third if she wins the title.
Muguruza, 23, has the Grand Slam pedigree in the second semi-final as a former Wimbledon finalist and French Open champion, but Rybarikova is on a roll on grass.
The unseeded 28-year-old has an 18-1 record on the surface this year as she makes her way back after wrist and knee surgery in 2016.
"I was dreaming about it since I was a little kid, to be in the semi-final in Wimbledon," said the world number 87.
Muguruza is working her way back to the form that saw her reach the final in 2015.
"It means a lot," she said. "I think a lot of things have to click to be able to win a major. I'm feeling pretty good. I'm being aggressive and not doing a lot of errors."
Politicians in the Senedd have been among those taking part in a Europe-wide one-minute silence, held in the UK at 11:00 GMT on Monday.
Vigils have been held, and public buildings around Wales continue to be lit up in the colours of the tricolour.
Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones said people must be vigilant, but to continue with normal life.
Outside the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, Jan and Chris Watkins, both 71, from Cardiff, turned out to show their support on behalf of their French daughter-in-law, Karine Langlois, who lives in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan.
Mrs Watkins said: "We have come down as a sign of solidarity for the French, to stand shoulder to shoulder with them."
Granville Harris, 67, and his wife Linda, 66, visited Cardiff from their home in Leeds.
Mrs Harris said: "It's very important to show solidarity, particularly after Remembrance Sunday. It's even more poignant to think of world peace."
Mr Harris added: "I think if there's one good thing to come out of this it's all the other nations coming together."
First Minister Carwyn Jones said people should remain "vigilant".
"But of course it's also important we carry on with our lives. One of the things terrorists would like to do is disrupt a normal life in the countries of Europe we must not allow that to happen."
In a letter of condolence to the French ambassador, he said the people of Wales stood "shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of France during this difficult period".
"Terrorism can afflict any of our countries and it is vital that we all stand together in solidarity to defend the freedom which is the most valued characteristic of open and democratic societies," Mr Jones said in his letter.
David Melding, deputy presiding officer, said: "We do need continent-wide solutions to these problems... but what we can do in Cardiff in front of the Senedd here on the steps is show we're not intimidated by appalling acts of violence and terrorism."
Other services have been held in Caernarfon in Gwynedd, Friars Walk in Newport, Ysgol Penweddig in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, and Glyndwr University in Wrexham.
Cases were also paused at Cardiff Crown Court, with people gathering in the lobby to observe the silence.
Since Friday night, public buildings have been illuminated to show solidarity with the French, including Caernarfon Castle, the Senedd, the Wales Millennium Centre and Caerphilly Castle.
Vigils organised by members of the public were also held outside Cardiff Castle and the Senedd.
Marie Brousseau-Navarro, Wales' honorary French consul said she had been overwhelmed by the Welsh support.
France is marking three days of national mourning for the 129 people who were killed in attacks on restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium on Friday.
Hundreds of others were injured, many critically.
Islamic State (IS) militants have claimed responsibility for the shootings and suicide bombings.
Ms Brousseau-Navarro said within hours of the attacks she had received hundreds of messages of support from members of the public and politicians in Wales.
She said: "It's really important because the whole country is in mourning. We are in three official days of mourning and it's really important for the people of France that they feel the solidarity from us - the French abroad.
"We are in our hearts over there and we all have families and friends in Paris."
Presiding Officer Dame Rosemary Butler said: "The horrific events in Paris last week have shocked the world. But the response from citizens who are determined not to let evil forces splinter our society has been inspirational.
"We will remember those who have died, and also show our belief in an open and inclusive world is undiminished."
The shadow chancellor pledged to help people "at the mercy of an unforgiving, unrestrained housing market".
And he said a future Labour government would build 100,000 council homes a year and boost home ownership.
Ministers said the "proposals for excessive state regulation" would "destroy investment in new housing".
At a conference on the economy hosted by Labour in London, party leader Jeremy Corbyn said government intervention was needed to solve the housing crisis.
He said the party would "always seek to distribute the rewards of growth more fairly" and pledged to break with the "failed economic orthodoxy that has gripped policy makers for a generation".
Labour's proposed National Investment Bank will boost the UK's infrastructure, he added.
George Osborne warns Brexit will hit house prices
In his speech, Mr McDonnell said Labour would not win the next general election unless it showed that it was a responsible custodian of public money.
"We can reject the dreadful choice of austerity and maintain solid government finances," he said.
He highlighted reviews Labour had set up into the workings of the Treasury, HM Revenue & Customs and the remit of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee.
BBC News political correspondent Chris Mason said the shadow chancellor was seeking to take on critics that have suggested the party is only ever capable of grumbling about the government, rather than setting out an alternative.
But he said, coming four years before the next general election, the speech was big on vision, but short on detail.
The measures put forward at the conference will be subject to consultation, and will not immediately become party policy.
They include powers to regulate private rent rises - similar to those pledged by former Labour leader Ed Miliband in the party's unsuccessful general election campaign - below the rate of inflation for the duration of a tenancy.
Critics previously said Labour's pre-election proposals would reduce investment in housing stock.
The "local rent regulation" suggested by Mr McDonnell would be available to councils in each area, rather than set nationally.
The National Landlords Association welcomed Labour's focus on making housing more affordable but warned the party not to "pull the rug from under the feet of responsible landlords", while new Labour mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told the BBC he did not favour rent controls in the capital.
Mr McDonnell said there would be a new "forum" for elected mayors who are in charge of cities across the country.
"For the first time, national economic policy making will be influenced directly by local decision makers representing their metropolises and their local communities," he told the conference.
The forum will look for solutions to the "housing crisis" with Labour favouring an extension of local authority-guaranteed mortgages.
Mr McDonnell said he wanted to see more local authorities following the examples of Manchester, Warrington and Sandwell by "offering cheap, local authority-backed mortgages to first-time buyers in particular".
He criticised the workings of the government's Help to Buy scheme, saying it was not targeted at people who need assistance the most.
"Labour would make it a mission to ensure that families and young people on ordinary incomes aren't locked out of home-ownership," he said.
He said new council homes would be a "top priority", funded by savings in the Housing Benefit bill.
The shadow chancellor said Labour governments under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown had relied too heavily on tax revenues from financial services, and public-private partnerships to fund infrastructure projects, and did not do enough to clamp down on tax evasion and avoidance .
"It helped create an unfair tax system," he said.
But he said in opposition, the party was holding the Conservatives to account and a future Labour government would ensure the UK would "no longer act like a tax haven for the super-rich".
Addressing the Labour proposals on housing, a Department for Communities and Local Government spokeswoman said the government was "creating a bigger and better private rented sector".
She added: "The vast majority of tenants across the country are seeing their rents remain stable, and are happy with the service they receive from landlords.
"These proposals for excessive state regulation would destroy investment in new housing, push up prices and make it far harder for people to find a flat or house to rent."
The visitors began day four requiring 84 more runs to win at Edgbaston.
Opener Jennings, who resumed on 88 not out, reached his third Championship hundred of the season before being bowled by Jeetan Patel for 113.
His fifth-wicket stand of 111 with Collingwood (44) was key to Durham's run chase as they reached their victory target of 238 before lunch.
Their second straight victory takes them up to second in Division One, above the Bears and champions Yorkshire and 10 points behind new leaders Lancashire.
Warwickshire would have gone top of the table if they had won, but now lie third, having suffered their first Championship defeat of 2016.
They had looked well placed to register their second win of the season when Chris Woakes took a career-best 9-36 on Monday to give the Bears a first-innings lead of 123 runs, and then again on day three when Chris Wright's four wickets reduced Durham to 87-4.
But, with Woakes having been called away on England duty, Durham maintained their unbeaten start to the summer.
Jennings reached his century off 197 balls, while skipper Collingwood, the day before his 40th birthday, was trapped lbw by off-spinner Patel with 11 runs still needed.
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM:
"We have given that one away, to be honest. We were so on top after day two but I said to the guys we still then had to go out and bat well. I don't know if we were complacent or not but we let Durham back in.
"We have only ourselves to blame for that. They came out with a good attitude and bowled well and then batted well to knock the runs off but we have to look at ourselves - we let them off the hook.
"We wanted to set them the highest score of the game to win. Anything over 300 would have been hard and a lot different in terms of confidence in their dressing room.
"In this game there was a brilliant hundred from Andy Umeed and a special nine-for from Chris Woakes but we didn't back that up. We still haven't really hit our straps this season and put in a big performance."
Durham captain Paul Collingwood told BBC Newcastle:
"At one stage we were well behind the eight-ball so to have scrapped our way out of it was very pleasing.
"Woakesie's nine-for was literally international class. It was like facing 90 miles-per-hour leg-breaks. Many teams would have crumbled under that.
"But we kept fighting and kept punching and to come out with a win is an incredible feeling because we haven't had many good times at Edgbaston in recent years.
"To have three seamers with only a handful of games between them and get 20 wickets against that batting line-up is an incredible effort. James Weighell deserves to be on the winning side."
Party policy: Prime Minister Theresa May was against Brexit before the EU referendum but now says there can be no turning back and that "Brexit means Brexit". The reason she gave for calling a general election was to strengthen her hand in negotiations with the EU, in which she plans to withdraw the UK from the single market and strike a new free trade deal.
Where the MPs stand: More Tory MPs backed Remain than Leave in last year's referendum - but they now strongly support the UK leaving - in February, only one voted against the government beginning Brexit by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Risks and rewards: Theresa May would use an election victory to say the country is uniting around her approach to Brexit, and moving on from the divisions of the referendum campaign. But her uncompromising approach to leaving could upset some of the 48% who wanted to stay in, with the Lib Dems hoping to capitalise in areas - like London's Richmond Park - that backed Remain.
Party policy: The Labour Party campaigned against Brexit in the referendum but now says the result must be honoured, provided workers' rights, access to the single market and four other tests are met. It has also ruled out a second referendum on the final deal, but wants MPs to have a decisive say on what happens once negotiations are complete.
Where the MPs stand: The vast majority of Labour MPs backed Remain ahead of the referendum - but most followed party orders to allow Article 50 to be invoked in February's vote.
Risks and rewards: Labour is hoping its acceptance of the result will fend off attacks from the Tories and UKIP in Leave-backing areas, which are estimated to account for the majority of its seats - including Stoke Central where it won February's by-election. But there are divisions among MPs on the best way forward, and Labour faces the challenge of having to appeal to both sides of a polarising debate.
Party policy: SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has been pushing for Scotland - which voted to remain in the EU - to have a special status after Brexit, including remaining in the single market. She has called for a second independence referendum before the Brexit package has been finalised.
Where the MPs stand: The SNP's 54 MPs voted en masse against triggering Article 50 and are expected to maintain their vocal opposition to Brexit in the next Parliament.
Risks and rewards: The SNP will hope to harness Scotland's support for remaining in the EU (it voted Remain by 62% to 38%). But a significant minority of its supporters are thought to have backed Leave - while the Tories are said to be targeting the Moray seat of SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson, where Remain only narrowly saw off the Leave campaign in the EU referendum.
The Liberal Democrats are strongly pro-EU, and have promised to stop what they call a "disastrous hard Brexit". They say they will fight with "every fibre of their being" to protect existing aspects of EU membership, such as the single market and the free movement of people, and want another referendum - this time on the terms of the deal struck between the UK and the EU.
Where the MPs stand: All of the Lib Dem MPs backed staying in the EU, and seven out of nine opposed Article 50, with two abstaining.
Risks and rewards: The Lib Dems are hoping their pro-EU pitch will help them gather voters in pro-Remain areas, as when they captured Richmond Park in London in December's by-election. But according to estimates based on the referendum results, two of their sitting MPs represent areas that backed Leave last June - which might make the party's second referendum policy a tough sell on the doorstep.
Green Party of England and Wales joint leader Caroline Lucas has called for a second EU referendum on the Brexit deal reached with Brussels, and the Greens have promised "full opposition" to what they call "extreme Brexit".
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has vowed to "hold the government's feet to the fire" on Brexit and will be hoping to take votes from Labour in areas that backed Leave. But with the formal exit process already under way, will the party's longstanding anti-EU message still have the same resonance?
Plaid Cymru, which campaigned to stay in the EU, says it accepts that the people of Wales voted to leave, but says single market membership should be preserved to protect Welsh jobs.
The DUP campaigned in favour of leaving the EU - and, in its manifesto for this year's Assembly elections, said it wanted to see a "positive" relationship with the rest of Europe, involving "mutual access to our markets to pursue common interests".
Having campaigned to stay in the EU, the SDLP's MPs have opposed the invoking of Article 50, saying it is being done "against the will of people in Northern Ireland", where most people voted to Remain in the EU.
Before the referendum, the Ulster Unionist party said that on balance, it was better for Northern Ireland to stay in the EU - although not all its members agreed. It says it would honour the referendum result, and wants "unfettered" access to the single market and no hard border with the Republic of Ireland.
Sinn Fein has accused the Conservative government of "seeking to impose Brexit on Ireland". It wants Northern Ireland to have a "designated special status" inside the EU.
Warren Hill in Hollesley spent about £9.50 per prisoner to celebrate Christmas in 2011, compared with an average of about £1.58 at 12 other jails, a Freedom of Information request by the BBC revealed.
Dean Acaster from the POA, formerly known as the Prison Officers' Association, questioned whether it was a good use of money while the prison service faced budget cuts and staff reductions to "dangerously low levels".
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said any expenditure came from existing budgets.
The figures were revealed by the MoJ after it responded to the Freedom of Information (FOI) request into 18 prisons in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire.
The FOI document states Warren Hill, a young offenders institute that caters for 15 to 18-year-olds, spent £544.80 on Christmas decorations, including trees, for the chapel and residential wings of the prison last year.
The prison previously spent £336.48 and £70.49 on decorations in 2009 and 2010.
The cost of additional phone credit for prisoners during Christmas rose from £230 to £585 between 2010 and 2011 - the equivalent of £5 spent on each young person compared with £2 the previous year.

Christmas stationery cost for the chaplaincy, which included producing posters and paper folders for religious services, also increased from £35.50 in 2009 to £105.55 in 2011.
Mr Acaster from the POA said Warren Hill's Christmas expenditure "flies in the face of any degree of punishment issued".
"We should not be paying extra money to make prisoners feel more comfortable," he said.
"The question needs to be asked, when faced with budget cuts, is it a good use of money?
"Prison staff are being cut to dangerously low levels and we're seeing a slashing back of [prison] regimes.
"I don't know if victims of the crimes would be happy - children or not they're still classed as criminals."
An MoJ spokesperson said: "HMYOI Warren Hill used its existing prison budget to provide Christmas decorations, phone credit and religious and faith services.
"Each young offender received a £5 PIN phone credit to enable family contact to be maintained through the Christmas period."
Therese Coffey, MP for Suffolk Coastal, said: "We should remember that the prisoners in Warren Hill are still children.
"Yes, they are children who have committed serious offences, some of which are very serious indeed.
"I think it is right that each governor chooses how to use its budget according to the best running of their individual prison.
"I recently revisited the prison to see a new rugby scheme and met the governor who has been in place quite a short time.
"From what I observed, I was impressed by her professionalism and determination to keep good order and encourage these young people not to reoffend."

More than 7,000 people have signed a petition calling for plans for the £395,000 sculpture at Flint Castle to be scrapped.
Flintshire council urged the Welsh Government to talk to the community before any "further action is taken".
The Welsh Government said it would listen to a range of views.
The design, said to represent the relationship between the Medieval monarchies of Europe and castles, was selected by a panel following a nation-wide competition.
The architects behind the design said it demonstrated "the unstable nature of the crown" but it has been criticised for symbolising the oppression of Welsh people.
The council said it was not privy to Cadw's proposals for the art installation before they were unveiled on Friday.
When opened in 2018, visitors will be able to walk along the sculpture, symbolic of a giant rusted crown. which could potentially stand 7m (23ft) high and 30m (98ft) wide.
The authority made clear it would not be funding the installation and Cadw would need planning consent before it could proceed.
It said the castle - one of the first built in Wales by Edward I - was under-funded compared to others in north Wales and Welsh Government cash was "vital" to allow it to fulfil its potential.
Derek Butler, cabinet member for economic development, said: "The council would welcome Welsh Government investment in any of the culture and heritage assets of the county following appropriate discussions with local communities and stakeholders and with the council itself."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We recognise that art divides opinions, encourages debate and can be interpreted in many ways and that combining history, art and place can often lead to powerful emotions and passions.
"These plans are about investing in Flint, increasing visitor numbers and growing the local economy."

He pledged to maintain the previous government's target of keeping the fiscal deficit to 4.1% of gross domestic product.
Defence was one of the few areas to see a significant growth in spending with a 12% rise to nearly $40bn (£23bn).
BBC Business Reporter Shilpa Kannan reports from Delhi.
The initial fee for the 23-year-old is €105m (£89m; $116m), but the figure will rise depending on his success.
The figure stands in stark contrast to other newly-released statistics in Italy.
According to the statistical body Instat, the number of people living in absolutely poverty in Italy has risen to its highest point since 2005, with 7.6% of the population affected.
The figures, released last month, showed that 4.6 million people were now unable to afford goods and services "essential to avoid grave forms of social exclusion".
Italian media said some of the change could be attributed to migrant families, almost a third of whom live in absolute poverty. More than 153,000 migrants arrived in Italy last year.
Back in 1992, when AC Milan broke the world transfer record to sign Gianluigi Lentini, the Vatican condemned the £13m fee, calling it "an offence to the dignity of work".
There's been no comment from the Vatican this time around.
We broke down Italy's poverty levels relative to the cost of Pogba.
Pogba's salary at Old Trafford has not been publicised, but it is believed to be about €12m a year.
When the poverty figures were released last month, Massimiliano Dona, secretary of the National Consumers' Union, called them "a national disgrace" which showed the government had "not done anything to reduce inequalities and help those most in need", La Repubblica reported.
Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan told the Ansa news agency the government was committed to bringing more people out of poverty, but it faced the worst financial situation in 20 years.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was appointed in 2014 after a promise to bring life back into the economy, but little improvement has been seen.
He is also facing pressure over a referendum he has called for later this year to cut the powers of the Italian Senate as part of a series of planned constitutional reforms.
Mr Renzi has promised to resign if he loses the vote.
The 28-year-old ACT Brumbies back has 19 caps and played in all three Tests against England this summer.
Australian Rugby Union chief Bill Pulver said: "Anyone who has ever had any involvement with Christian knows he is an outstanding young man.
"The ARU will do whatever it can to support Christian and his family throughout his treatment."
The reason for this reaction was not so much the Hardwicke Stakes victory of the Queen's horse, Dartmouth, though there's no doubt of the considerable delight generated by the Monarch achieving her 23rd Royal Ascot win in the year she's celebrated her 90th birthday.
It was much more the enthusiastic and high-profile appearance in the winners' enclosure, alongside his mother and winning trainer Sir Michael Stoute, of the Prince of Wales, who also was noted paying more visits than usual over the five days.
True, the heir to the throne and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, also present, owned two horses that were in action during the week, but there was more to it than that, as confirmed by the Queen's racing and bloodstock adviser John Warren.
Warren, as trusted and deft a courtier as he is a renowned bloodstock expert, made what seemed like a deliberate point in post-race media interviews of emphasising that Prince Charles "has seriously got the [racing] bug" and is "absolutely smitten".
The importance of all this is that links between British racing - the 'Sport of Kings' - and its Royal family go back centuries to when Charles 11 was arranging horse-races and general revelry at Newmarket in 1666; the track and the town are marking the 350th anniversary during this year.
That interest has been passed down through the generations, and has never been stronger than in the current Queen who, it's widely believed, could have taken a leading role in the sport, as a trainer perhaps, or in the bloodstock world, or as an administrator, had she not done what she does.
And the cache that these associations have meant for British racing have been incalculable. For example, the overseas horses that come to Royal Ascot from the US, Hong Kong, Australia etc. don't come for the prize money, which is behind practically everyone else's, but they come for the prestige, much of it associated with Her Majesty.
Concerns within the sport have centred on what the future holds.
Because although the Princess Royal and her daughter Zara are keen, that's been about it, with the clear suggestion that Prince Charles was on the ambivalent side about the whole thing, a feeling of disinterest perhaps encouraged by a brief and not terribly happy time as an amateur jockey in the 1980s. He suffered a famous fall at Cheltenham.
From the sport's point of view, the fact that Charles and Camilla have two home-bred horses in training with Ralph Beckett - one-time Derby hope Carntop and Pacify - was seen as a decent-sized step in the right direction, but the words of Warren are now being interpreted as a considerable leap.
Warren said: "He's trying to really learn about the whole industry.
"Thirty years ago, he told me that racehorse ownership was probably like gardening, and that until you owned your own garden, you never quite understand what it is all about, [then] you start to look after it and you have to concentrate.
"Coming into Ascot he said the anticipation of owning a horse to come here was so enormous, he said he couldn't explain the feeling, and that's what's so marvellous; I think he's seriously got the bug, and that's very important for British racing.
"It's a genuine interest; both he and the Duchess of Cornwall are absolutely smitten."
The next move, believe those upper echelons, is for the couple to have a Royal Ascot or other big-race winner - neither of their horses this week made the frame - in the hope that "smitten" soon turns into long-term romance. | The beginning of our five-match one-day series against West Indies on Saturday comes at the end of Women's Sport Week and after a landmark summer for women's cricket in England.

The neurosurgeon has stepped down as president of the FIA Institute, but will continue in an honorary role.
The 83-year-old, who was a close friend of the late Ayrton Senna, served as F1 medical delegate from 1978 until 2004.
He played a major role in saving the lives of many F1 drivers after heavy crashes.
Among them were Ferrari's Didier Pironi at the 1982 German Grand Prix, Jordan's Rubens Barrichello at Imola in 1994, and McLaren's Mika Hakkinen at Adelaide in 1995.
Watkins worked on improving safety in F1 alongside his full-time job at Whitechapel Hospital.
He was appointed chairman of the FIA Expert Advisory Safety Committee, which was set up in 1994 following the deaths of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger and Senna on successive days after Barrichello's crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Watkins recounted in his autobiography that he had tried to persuade Senna to retire in a conversation at the scene of Ratzenberger's accident, 24 hours before the Brazilian himself would crash to his death.
Senna broke down at the crash scene and cried on Watkins' shoulder.
Watkins wrote that he said to Senna: "What else do you need to do? You have been world champion three times, you are obviously the quickest driver. Give it up and let's go fishing."
Senna replied: "Sid, there are certain things over which we have no control. I cannot quit. I have to go on."
Working closely with then-FIA president Max Mosley and race director Charlie Whiting, Watkins was instrumental in transforming safety in F1 - there have been no driver deaths in the sport since Senna's on 1 May 1994.
He became the first president of the FIA Foundation for Automobile in Society in 2004.
Watkins will be replaced by Professor Gerard Saillant, himself famous for ground-breaking surgery that saved the legs of several badly injured F1 drivers, including Pironi, who died in a powerboat accident in 1987. | Professor Sid Watkins, who has been at the forefront of safety in Formula 1 for more than 30 years, has ended his full-time involvement in motorsport. | 16,094,508 | 480 | 36 | false |

The toddler was savaged by Andrew McGowan's American bully dogs in Dingle, Liverpool, leaving her with serious injuries to her head and body.
McGowan later admitted the animals had been dangerously out of control.
The 35-year-old, of Cockburn Street, Dingle, was jailed for 18 months by magistrates in Liverpool.
He was also banned from keeping dogs for 12 years.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken by air ambulance to Alder Hey Children's Hospital after the dogs pounced, on the afternoon of 7 May.
Neighbours said they heard the girl screaming and shouts of: "The dog's got the baby! The dog's got the baby!"
The dogs also hurt a 57-year-old woman who tried to rescue the girl in the garden on Cockburn Street.
Five dogs and six puppies were seized after the attack, two of which were put down.
In a victim impact statement, the girl's mother described seeing her in an ambulance "covered in blood".
"I could not make out any of her facial features and with shock I left the ambulance because I knew I needed to remain strong for my baby girl," she said.
"My daughter and I were airlifted in the helicopter to the hospital and the journey in itself was traumatic. She lost consciousness and I honestly thought my baby girl wasn't going to make it."
She said her daughter had been left traumatised, scared to leave her home and could remember the attack in detail.
However, she said she had "defied the odds" and was recovering well from her physical injuries.
Speaking after the sentencing, she said: "He [McGowan] will only serve nine months in prison but my baby girl will have to live with this for the rest of her life."
Det Ch Insp John Webster said it was only through "sheer fortune" that other children playing in the garden had not been injured.
He added: "The injuries and the trauma the girl suffered will probably stay with her for a long time, but I hope with the love and support of her family it is something that she will in time be able to fully recover from."
American bully dogs, which are similar to pit bull terriers, are not a banned breed.
Mason, 25, clashed heads with Chelsea defender Gary Cahill 13 minutes into the Premier League match.
He was carried off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask after receiving eight minutes of treatment and taken to St Mary's Hospital in London.
"Ryan is in a stable condition and expected to remain in hospital for the next few days," said a Hull statement.
"Everyone at the Club would like to express their sincere thanks for the excellent and swift care given to Ryan by both the Accident and Emergency department and Neurosurgery Unit at St Mary's Hospital."
Hull added that they would issue a further update on Monday.
Cahill, who continued playing, said: "I tried to get on the end of the cross. We smashed heads. I wish him all the very best."
Goals from Diego Costa and Cahill gave the Blues a 2-0 victory as they moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Scottish Hydro-Electric Transmission Ltd, a division of energy giant SSE, said the "needs case" was a key part of the planning process.
Regulator Ofgem will assess whether the interconnector is efficient and economic.
The project has been hit by delays and a rise in costs to an estimated £780m.
Islands local authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, has said major renewable energy projects planned for the isles cannot go ahead without the cable.
The comhairle has welcomed the submission to Ofgem.
Leader Angus Campbell said swift approval of the project could allow a contract for the cable to be awarded this year.
The interconnector would export electricity to the mainland for distribution.
It would stretch to about 50 miles (80km) from Gravir on Lewis to Ullapool on the north-west coast of mainland Scotland.

The 31-year-old striker said he hoped to "play a full part" in the rest of the Premier League club's season.
United boss Jose Mourinho had refused to rule out the prospect of Rooney's exit this month, although a deal before the Chinese transfer window closes on 28 February was always unlikely.
"It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part," said Rooney.
Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford, had travelled to China to see if he could negotiate a deal, although it is not known which clubs he spoke to.
Two of the three clubs who looked the most likely options - Beijing Guoan and Jiangsu Suning - dismissed speculation about a transfer.
Rooney's representatives had already spoken to the third option - Tianjin Quanjian - but their coach, Fabio Cannavaro, said talks did not progress.
Rooney is United's record goalscorer and has won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy since joining them as an 18-year-old for £27m from Everton in 2004.
The forward, whose contract expires in 2019, has said he would not play for an English club other than United or Everton.
United are sixth in the Premier League and remain in three cup competitions, having reached the last 16 of the Europa League on Wednesday.
They face Southampton in the EFL Cup final on Sunday before taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals on 13 March.
"Despite the interest which has been shown from other clubs, for which I'm grateful, I want to end recent speculation and say that I am staying at Manchester United.
"I hope I will play a full part in helping the team in its fight for success on four fronts.
"It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part of it."
Simon Stone, BBC Sport
Rooney's statement settles his short-term future but does nothing to address long-term issues over his future.
Rooney has only started eight Premier League games this season - fewer than Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Henrikh Mkhitaryan - and has featured only three times since breaking United's goalscoring record at Stoke last month.
He remains committed to United and ideally would stay at Old Trafford.
However, should he not play regularly between now and the end of the season, he would explore other options.
These would include Major League Soccer, as well as China. It is understood his previous statement, that he would only play for United or Everton in the Premier League, still stands.
Interest from China is genuine but despite long-time adviser Paul Stretford travelling to the country this week, there was never any realistic possibility of completing a deal before Tuesday's Chinese Super League transfer deadline.
Rooney has scored five goals in 29 appearances for the Red Devils this season, but has started only three games since 17 December and may yet leave in the summer.
Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says Rooney would be an "ideal" signing for United's Premier League rivals Arsenal.
"Arsenal lack somebody like Rooney - a winner, a leader," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He could easily go into somewhere like Arsenal and get a few of their players by the scruff of the neck on the pitch and improve their performances."
Redknapp, who was speaking before Rooney's announcement, also suggested the player could make "a dream move" back to Everton.
But Rooney's former team-mate Phil Neville said the striker "shouldn't write off his United career" and he could not see him moving to China.
A militant ring was found to be operating in Sardinia, and there had been possible plans to target the Holy See, according to investigators.
The Vatican has downplayed the significance of the claims.
Some of the suspects are believed to have organised the 2009 market bombing in Peshawar in Pakistan.
Local media said two of the men had provided protection for former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Police issued 20 warrants and made nine arrests in raids on Friday.
Prosecutor Mauro Mura told a press conference in Cagliari, Sardinia, that wiretaps indicated the suspected terrorists had been planning a bomb attack at the Vatican in March 2010.
There had been "signals of some preparation for a possible attack", including the arrival of a suicide bomber in Rome, the Associated Press quoted Mr Mura as saying.
"We don't have proof, we have strong suspicion," police chief Mario Carta said.
But Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi issued a statement saying: "From what it appears, this concerns a hypothesis that dates from 2010 which didn't occur.
"It has therefore no relevance today and no reason for particular concern."
Police earlier said those arrested came from Pakistan and Afghanistan and the operation was ongoing.
The suspects were accused of staging attacks against the government in Pakistan.
More than 100 people were killed when a huge car bomb ripped through a busy market in Peshawar, Pakistan, in October 2009.
The Italian militant ring was also said to be engaged in trafficking illegal migrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Europe, providing them with false documents.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano praised the operation, which started in 2009, saying it had not only dismantled a "network of people traffickers" but detained also several individuals accused of conspiring with "terrorists".
"Our system works," he said.
With his sweetly self-conscious dad dancing, garish fancy dress, health and safety-defying lifts and faintly obscene hip thrusts, he has made strangely compelling viewing, and viewers propelled him further into the competition than most other "novelty" contestants in Strictly history.
So now he is out, one question looms - where on earth does his career go from here?
He has achieved a unique if peculiar place in the nation's affections - even being described as a national treasure. Balls has successfully worn away his bland image, but has surely lost some political credibility in the process.
Here are some ideas for Balls's next move.
If the political world closes the door on the former shadow chancellor after his stint in sparkly suits, and if any alternative media career fails to take off, there will definitely be one career option open come next Christmas.
He would surely make a wonderful Dick Whittington or Widow Twankey, and would be a panto producer's dream booking - a huge national star who doesn't take himself too seriously.
He would also be following a familiar route - the year after her Strictly appearance, Ann Widdecombe reunited with Craig Revel Horwood for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Dartford's Orchard Theatre.
Before Strictly, Balls took part in a special Sport Relief edition of The Great British Bake Off and impressed with his baking skills by rustling up muffins, beef pie and a show-stopper cake shaped like a ski slope.
Of course, there will be some vacancies on the Bake Off line-up when it moves from the BBC to Channel 4.
But, in all honesty, it is hard to picture him filling the shoes of judge Mary Berry or hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who have all opted not to stay with the show.
If Bake Off doesn't want him, another offer this time next year will undoubtedly come from ITV for him to sample kangaroo testicles on the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
It was good enough for fellow ex-politician and ex-Strictly contestant Edwina Currie two years ago.
But if he doesn't fancy that, there are enough other reality TV shows to keep him going for a while - he could follow George Galloway's footsteps on Celebrity Big Brother or Widdecombe again on shows such as Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and 24 Hours in the Past.
Or he could follow the example of Michael Portillo and many other mid-career personalities and forge a career at the altogether classier end of factual TV by hosting genteel travel documentaries.
Portillo has got trains stitched up, though, and most other forms of transport are already spoken for. So Balls may need to resort to pitching more unusual ideas like Up the Thames in a Pedalo, or Britain By Tandem, perhaps co-starring his wife and fellow Labour politician Yvette Cooper.
There are other potential subject areas of course - Portillo (surely Balls's role model in this arena) has thrived with documentaries about subjects as varied as World War One, classified state secrets, classical music and capital punishment.
A likely option is for Balls to become a regular contributor on political programmes such as The Daily Politics and (again, like Portillo) This Week.
It would also be very little surprise if he ended up with a column in the Daily Mirror or New Statesman.
Balls could always combine his political nous with his recent television experience by applying to be chairman of the BBC.
There will be a vacancy - the corporation is currently chaired by Rona Fairhead, who is standing down early next year when the BBC Trust is replaced by a unitary board.
It is a role that involves a lot of political wrangling, so Westminster expertise would be a definite bonus - former Conservative Chairman Lord Patten did the job from 2011-14.
And his insight into one of the BBC's biggest shows would no doubt come in handy.
Is it totally inconceivable?
Given his recent record in public votes, and given the political shocks of the past 12 months, might Balls return as an MP at a by-election between now and the next general election in 2020, and might the Labour Party look for someone the public connects with (and has heard of) if another leadership contest should come to pass?
And, if Brexit begins to unravel between now and the next election, might the great British public look for an alternative to the Conservative administration?
Stranger things have happened. A reality TV star is US President-elect, after all.

Ms Homer's departure after four years in charge of the UK tax office comes just weeks after she was awarded a damehood in the New Year's honours.
But under her leadership, HMRC has been criticised by MPs for "unacceptable" customer service and "disappointing progress" on tax evasion.
She will take a break over the summer after 36 years as a civil servant.
Her damehood aroused controversy among MPs, who argued her record in charge of HMRC and before that, the UK Border Agency, did not merit such recognition.
Ms Homer said she felt it was "a sensible time to move on" as HMRC had started to implement the government's latest spending plans.
"It has been a privilege to have been with HMRC during a period when the improved performance of the department has been increasingly recognised and we have the full backing of ministers for our future plans," she said in the announcement.
Chancellor George Osborne said Ms Homer had put foundations in place to make HMRC one of the most digitally-advanced tax authorities in the world.
"It is to Lin's great credit that the National Audit Office last year judged HMRC to be one of the strongest departments in government - a legacy of which she can be rightly proud," Mr Osborne said.
But in November, MPs on the public accounts committee issued a critical report, arguing HMRC must do more to ensure all tax is paid.
"It beggars belief that, having made disappointing progress on tax evasion and avoidance, the taxman also seems incapable of running a satisfactory service for people trying to pay their fair share," committee chair Meg Hillier said.
HMRC's customer service was considered "so bad" it could be leading to lower tax collection, the committee said.
The government has started the process to find Ms Homer's successor.
She is not "actively seeking" her next role, the government said.
The hosts took the lead through Elliott Ward before Shane Duffy was sent off for handling a Joe Garner effort on the line and the former Rovers striker then levelled from the spot.
Jordan Hugill's volley put Preston in front just before the break.
Rovers pressed for an equaliser after the break, but visiting keeper Anders Lindegaard was largely untroubled.
The home defeat capped a bad week for Rovers after they announced the club's debts have exceeded £100m earlier this week.
They started brightly and Ward's close-range volley after Hope Akpan's header had come back off the bar gave them a deserved lead before Duffy's red card changed the complexion of the match.
Preston have now won six of their last 10 matches and are six points outside the play-off places, with seven games to play.
They host struggling Fulham on Tuesday, while Paul Lambert's 14th-placed Rovers travel to Sheffield Wednesday.
Blackburn boss Paul Lambert:
"I'm disappointed to lose. It was an absolutely fantastic effort with 10 men.
"I thought we started the game brilliantly, were well on top, got the goal. The penalty changes the course of the game, but it should never have been a penalty.
"Danny Graham was fouled at the edge of the box so the ball should have never been at that end of the pitch, because Danny has nutmegged the guy. You can see with Danny's reaction that he's definitely been fouled.
"I thought today, he got more calls wrong than he got right. If there's a delegate here or somebody watching it, maybe they might get a phone call in the morning."
Preston manager Simon Grayson:
"He's done well, Jordan. He's a handful. He knows what he needs to do.
"I'm delighted for him. It's a great ball from Gally (Paul Gallagher). He knows where to put it and the areas for people to get into.
"It wasn't an easy finish but he's delighted and we were all delighted to see it hit the back of the net.
"I think it (the sending off) was the correct decision. They started the game better than us. I'm disappointed we gave away the goal we did but it's handball on the line and the referee made the right decision."
Khan, who was handed a five-year jail term in May for running over five homeless men in Mumbai, killing one of them, is one of India's biggest and most popular film stars.
The 49-year-old actor, who has acted in more than 80 Hindi-language films, is known for his romantic roles as well as action films and has won several prestigious Indian cinema awards.
Khan is that rare Bollywood star who has a huge fan following across the vast spectrum of Indian society.
His fans include the middle-class English-speaking audiences as well as poor slum dwellers for whom the 350-rupee ($5.20; £3.40) tickets do not come cheap.
His films are released to coincide with major festivals like Eid or Christmas, and are screened in thousands of theatres, which are generally packed for days.
Every time Khan romances his heroines on screen, his fans respond with approval; loud whistles fill the theatre when he shows his dance moves; and resounding claps encourage him whenever he beats up the "baddies".
But his fame has brought with it a long-held image of a larger-than-life macho superstar who lives dangerously.
While the hit-and-run incident has dragged on for nearly 13 years, Khan's fan base has remained loyal - in fact, it has kept growing steadily and the hits have kept coming.
Several of his latest films - Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg2 - have been huge blockbusters.
The eldest of the three sons of well-known screenplay writer Salim Khan, he is a hit on social media too - his Facebook page is liked by 28.2 million fans while on Twitter, he has 15.1 million followers.
But there is another side to Khan.
Stories about his brawls at parties have long filled the Bollywood gossip columns, and his link-ups with some of his leading ladies have also proved controversial.
In one notorious incident, an angry Khan was reported to have emptied a bottle of cola over the head of an ex-girlfriend in a restaurant.
Another relationship, with actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, ended acrimoniously with Ms Rai later making allegations that she was beaten up by Khan - a charge he has denied.
And the 2002 hit-and-run incident in Mumbai was not his first brush with the law.
Khan was arrested in the western state of Rajasthan for illegally hunting and killing a protected blackbuck deer in 1998.
He was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in 2006, but spent less than a week inside before being released on bail. His appeal is pending in court.
In the past few years, the actor has worked hard to shed his "bad boy" image - with some success.
His devotion to his family, particularly his brothers, is well known and he is reputed to go out of his way to help friends and even strangers.
A few years ago, he started Being Human, a charity to help the underprivileged through education and healthcare. The charity sells T-shirts and other products online and in stores, and the proceeds are used for charitable work.
His relationships with women also seem to have matured. Although he parted ways with actress Katrina Kaif some time ago, they remain good friends and the couple acted together in Ek Tha Tiger.
When the trial court convicted him in May, many said the misdeeds of his past might have finally caught up with him.
With the high court overturning his conviction, the pressure on the actor has eased for the moment.
But with the prosecution likely to appeal in the Supreme Court, Khan's troubles may not yet be over.
He renewed a waiver for a law requiring the relocation, as his predecessors have done every six months since 1995.
The White House said Mr Trump would fulfil his campaign pledge but wanted to maximise the chances of a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
Palestinian leaders had warned the move would threaten a two-state solution.
Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since the 1967 Middle East war. It annexed the area in 1980 and sees it as its exclusive domain. Under international law the area is considered to be occupied territory.
Israel is determined that Jerusalem be its eternal, indivisible capital. But Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a future state.
Successive US administrations since 1948 have maintained that the status of Jerusalem is to be decided by negotiations and that they would not engage in actions that might be perceived as prejudging the outcome of those negotiations.
During last year's election campaign, Mr Trump expressed his strong support of Israel and vowed to order the relocation of the embassy on his first day in office.
But three weeks later, he acknowledged in an interview with an Israeli newspaper that it was "not an easy decision" and that he was still "studying" the issue.
Last month, the president avoided any public mention of a potential move during a visit to Israel and the West Bank, when he declared that he would "do everything" to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace.
On Thursday, as a deadline loomed, the White House announced that Mr Trump had continued his predecessors' policy of signing a six-month waiver for the Jerusalem Embassy Act.
"President Trump made this decision to maximise the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America's national security interests," a statement said.
"But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office expressed its disappointment, but said it appreciated Mr Trump's "commitment to moving the embassy in the future".
"Israel's consistent position is that the American embassy, like the embassies of all countries with whom we have diplomatic relations, should be in Jerusalem, our eternal capital," a statement said.
"Maintaining embassies outside the capital drives peace further away by helping keep alive the Palestinian fantasy that the Jewish people and the Jewish state have no connection to Jerusalem."
The Palestinian ambassador to the US welcomed the decision.
"This is in line with the long-held US policy and the international consensus and it gives peace a chance," Hussam Zomlot said in a statement.
"We are ready to start the consultation process with the US administration. We are serious and genuine about achieving a just and lasting peace."
The claim: Home Secretary Theresa May says: "Free movement makes it harder to control immigration, but it doesn't make it impossible to control immigration.
Reality Check verdict: Free movement does make it harder to control immigration. But leaving the EU would not necessarily mean abandoning free movement, and the government has not managed to meet its immigration ambitions even for non-EU migrants, over whom it has greater control.
This compares with migrants from outside the EU, for whom the UK currently has a points-based system that allows in people with skills needed in the economy as well as students and some temporary migrants.
The UK is not signed up to the Schengen agreement, so passports are still checked at the borders.
EU passport-holders are not automatically allowed in, but the bar is set quite high if EU citizens are to be rejected - just having a criminal record is not enough, they must pose a current threat. Last year, 2,165 EU passengers were turned away.
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest the UK's annual net migration - the number who have come minus the number who have left - from the EU stands at 172,000.
From outside the EU, it is 191,000.
The Conservative manifesto in 2015 said the party would "keep our ambition of delivering annual net migration in the tens of thousands, not the hundreds of thousands".
Clearly, even for just the non-EU migrants, over whom the government has greater control, the country is still well over that limit.
It should be said Norway and Switzerland also currently accept free movement, despite not being part of the EU, in order to gain access to the single market.
But Justice Secretary Michael Gove said last week the UK could be part of the European Free Trade Area, allowing it to trade with the EU without having to accept free movement.
Even so, it is possible, if the UK were to leave the EU, an eventual trade deal would mean it still having to allow favourable terms for EU migrants.

The twice-capped ex-England left-back, 34, first joined the Latics on loan until the end of the season in March.
But, having played the final 11 matches to help Gary Caldwell's side return to the Championship, they were keen to make the deal more permanent.
"Bringing Stephen permanently was one of our immediate priorities," he said.
"His experience will be invaluable to the squad in the Championship, a league he knows very well. Everyone saw for themselves his contribution last season."
Ormskirk-born Warnock, who played 40 first-team games for Liverpool after coming through the academy, moved on to Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and Leeds United before joining Derby on an 18-month deal in January 2015.
Subject to him passing a medical, Warnock will officially become a Wigan Athletic player when his Derby contract expires on the final day of June, having not been offered a new deal.
He becomes the first deal to be done for next season by the Latics since returning to the Championship as League One champions.
Warnock added: "I really enjoyed my time on loan. We achieved something great, so I can't wait to work with the gaffer and this group of players again."

The party's Welsh leader said she would not seek to replace Nick Clegg if he stood down after the general election.
Ms Williams told BBC Radio Wales the assembly was "not a training ground or a nursery for Westminster".
"I cannot understand this obsession with people thinking you can only achieve in politics if you happen to go to Westminster," she said.
On Friday, Ms Williams became the last of six party leaders in Wales to be interviewed by presenter Jason Mohammad and take calls from listeners.
She denied any ambition to seek election as an MP and, when it was suggested she could be the next leader of the Lib Dems, Ms Williams replied: "I don't know how many more ways I can say no - categorically."
Occupied by Germany during the First and Second World Wars, it has experienced an economic boom in the past 50 years to become a model Western European liberal democracy.
However, there has also been a growing divide between the mainly Dutch-speaking north and the mainly French-speaking south, as well as concerns about the growth of Islamic extremism among immigrant communities in the capital, Brussels.
Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato), making it the polyglot home of an army of international diplomats and civil servants.

Monarch: King Philippe
King Philippe succeeded to the throne in July 2013 on the abdication of his father, the 79-year-old Albert II, who stepped down on health grounds.
Respect for the monarchy is one of the few factors that crosses the communal divide in Belgium, and King Albert exercised his constitutional authority in advising political leaders on the formation of a government during the 2010-2011 parliamentary stalemate.
Prime minister: Charles Michel
Following elections, Reform Movement leader Charles Michel formed a right-wing coalition in October 2014, becoming at 38 the country's youngest prime minister since 1841.
His liberal party comes from the French-speaking community, but the other three parties in the coalition represent Flemish speakers - including the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), which came first in the elections.
Belgian broadcasting mirrors the unique political and linguistic nature of the country. The cultural communities, rather than the federal authorities, are responsible for regulating radio and TV.
Some key dates in Belgium's history:
1830 - Declaration of independence from Netherlands.
1914-18 First World War - Occupied by Germany.
1940-45 Second World War - German occupation.
1993 - Constitution changed to recognise division of country into three administrative regions: Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels.
2002 - Euro replaces Belgian franc.
2016 March - Islamic State suicide bombers kill 35 people in attacks on Brussels.
But what about the Chinese baby dragon?
Well, that's the name of a new dinosaur species discovered in China.
The fossil of the baby dinosaur was found more than 25 years ago, but it's only now that scientists have been able to tell what type of dinosaur it is.
It was found in a nest of dinosaur eggs, and has even been given a name - "Baby Louie" .
Palaeontologists - scientists who studies fossils - have called it Beibeilong sinensis, which translates to "Chinese baby dragon".
It's been described as a gigantic bird-like dinosaur, covered in feathers and with a beak, but no teeth.
It's the first ever dinosaur we've found that's like this.
One scientist said it would have looked quite a bit like Big Bird, from Sesame Street!
The fossil of the baby dinosaur is small, only about the size of a guinea pig.
But it would have grown into an adult weighing more than 1,000 kg. That's almost as much as a small car!
Their eggs are believed to have sat in nests larger than a monster truck tyre.
Researchers have found similar dinosaur eggs in China, South Korea, Mongolia and North America.
This might mean this kind of dinosaur would have been common around 100 million years ago.
The players were asked to remove the Islamic head scarf before taking on Mongolia but refused and forfeited.
World basketball regulations list headgear and hair accessories among the items that are prohibited on court.
With no sign that the rule would be relaxed before their next match against Nepal, the team decided to pull out.
In a statement, basketball's world governing body Fiba said its regulations applied "on a global scale and without any religious connotation".
The statement added: "While certain groups have interpreted the provisions of the official basketball rules as a ban against the participation of players of certain faiths in basketball competitions, the uniform regulations are of a purely sporting nature."
Other sports at the Asian Games allow athletes to wear the hijab; all four members of the Iranian lightweight women's quadruple sculls team wore it as they rowed to a bronze medal on Wednesday.
Earlier this year, football's governing body Fifa officially authorised the wearing of head covers for religious reasons during football matches.
Basketball remains one of the exceptions, although Fiba said earlier this month that it had held discussions on the issue and was introducing a two-year testing phase on what players can wear.
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) issued a statement on Wednesday, saying: "The right of the athletes must be the highest priority."
After forfeiting the Mongolian match, Qatari player Amal Mohamed A Mohamed said they had been assured before they travelled to the Games in Incheon that they would be able to wear the hijab.
"We were told that we would be able to participate in matches by wearing a hijab," she said.
"We will not attend any games in this Asian Games unless the officials change their decision."
The Asian Games, held every four years, are recognised by the International Olympic Committee and feature more than 9,000 athletes from 45 countries competing in 36 sports.
The 2014 edition concludes on 4 October.
Alistair Cooke, 22, who studied geography at Durham University, is alleged to have followed the woman home from a house party in June last year.
The third year student, from Perranarworthal, Truro, Cornwall, denies three counts of rape.
Durham Crown Court was told his accuser consented to sex.
The woman said she remembered Mr Cooke had his hands on her chest and that "he was laughing at me, he was hurting me, he was raping me".
She said: "I remember waking up and seeing him opening up a condom packet, I tried to sit up but he pushed me down like a ragdoll.
"I could not even stop this happening in my own house. I blamed myself so much, maybe if I had not drunk so much I could have stopped it."
During cross examination, defence barrister Cathy McCulloch told the woman: "You did participate in sex willingly and now you are just regretting it and this is a story of regret not rape.
"He sat next to you on the bed. You leaned up and started to kiss him as you had done at the party."
Ms McCulloch asked the woman why she did not go straight to the police and accused her of waiting six days so they would not have been able to test how much alcohol she had in her system.
The court has previously heard Mr Cooke was a volunteer with the Nightline student listening service and during his training he role-played being accused of raping a drunken woman after following her home.
The trial continues.

The fortunate survivors parachuted to safety before the plane hit the surface of Lake Taupo.
The plane suffered engine problems shortly after taking off but fortunately everyone on board parachuted to safety.
Watch Martin's report to find out more.
His departure was said to be one recommendation of a report by former US Attorney-General Eric Holder about the company's culture and practices.
Uber said the board had voted unanimously to adopt all the report's recommendations.
However, its contents will not be released until Tuesday.
Mr Holder was asked to undertake the review in February after former Uber engineer Susan Fowler made claims of sexual harassment.
The Financial Times reported that neither Uber nor Mr Michael would comment on whether he had resigned or been fired.
James Cakmak, an analyst at Monness Crespi Hardt, said Mr Michael's departure reflected Uber's need for a "fall guy" and could help protect Mr Kalanick.
"If Kalanick did leave, we think it would be very difficult for him to come back," Mr Cakmak told Bloomberg.
It is possible Mr Kalanick could be forced to take a leave of absence or have his role altered. That issue was on the agenda at a seven-hour board meeting held in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Mr Kalanick has been on bereavement leave following the death of his mother in a boating accident.
An Uber insider said the recommendations in Mr Holder's report include introducing more control on spending, human resources and other areas where executives led by Mr Kalanick have had an unusual degree of autonomy for a company of Uber's size.
The San Francisco-based ride-hailing service has more than 12,000 employees.
Mr Kalanick has earned a reputation as an abrasive leader and was criticised earlier this year after being caught on video berating an Uber driver.
He said in response to the video: "I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up."
Uber board member Arianna Huffington has said Mr Kalanick needed to change his leadership style from that of a "scrappy entrepreneur" to be more like a "leader of a major global company".
One Uber investor said the board's decisions were a step in the right direction, giving the firm an "opportunity to reboot".
Jan Dawson, an analyst with Jackdaw Research, said: "This week we finally learn just how committed Travis Kalanick and the rest of the senior leadership team at Uber is to meaningful cultural change."
Last week Uber said it fired 20 staff after another law firm examined more than 200 cases including complaints about sexual harassment, discrimination and bullying.
As part of its attempt to draw a line under its recent problems, Uber said it had appointed Wan Ling Martello, a Nestle executive and Alibaba board member, as an independent director.
She is the third high-profile female appointment to the company in the past week.
Uber, which is still privately owned with voting control resting with Mr Kalanick and his two board allies, is valued at about $68bn. Although revenues hit $6.5bn last year, it is yet to make a profit.
Chwarae Teg boss Cerys Furlong said women were "outnumbered" by men in many areas of public life.
Just over 25% of Wales' 1,264 councillors are women with 25 women among 60 AMs, and nine out of 40 MPs.
And among Wales' top 100 businesses only 2% of chief executives are women.
Ms Furlong said: "Politics is very visible and if there were more female politicians, then other women and organisations could draw inspiration from this.
"The way our politicians are selected is governed by the political parties who choose candidates.
"We've seen various different models such as twinning, zipping and all women shortlists."
She added: "Parties all commit themselves to seeking greater diversity but we're not seeing that happen quick enough.
"The political parties need to take a robust look at themselves and be willing to have those difficult conversations with their local members and say 'if we want this change it's going to mean some tough love' to make it happen," she added.
Two years ago, in an attempt to address the issue, the WRU appointed its first female board member, former businesswomen Aileen Richards.
Speaking to The Wales Report programme, Mrs Richards said she did not believe in quotas or legislation as a way to tackle the issue.
"Particularly with women, you've got to give them confidence, you've got to give them mentoring, you've got to give them encouragement," she said.
"Because we know all the research shows women are less confident standing for positions, whatever field that's in."
She added: "You've got to persuade people it's the right thing to do.
"So there has to be a belief we will run a better board, we will run a better business, we'll run a better parliament, whatever it might be because it's more diverse."
His liberal PLDM party - in Moldova's ruling coalition - condemned the move as "purely political" and "a violation of his rights".
He was arrested on Thursday, suspected of involvement in the disappearance of $1bn (£646m) from three Moldovan banks.
The scandal has thrown Moldova into economic and political chaos.
In recent weeks thousands of people have protested in the centre of Moldova's capital Chisinau, demanding that the government and top civil servants resign.
The missing money is equivalent to an eighth of the ex-Soviet republic's entire GDP. Moldova is one of Europe's poorest countries.
The scandal caused a rapid fall in the value of the national currency, the leu, hitting Moldovans' living standards.
Mr Filat, leader of the PLDM, was initially detained for 72 hours, accused of theft from the state-run Banca de Economii. Earlier parliament had stripped him of immunity from prosecution. He denies wrongdoing.
Anti-government protesters welcomed his detention. One of their leaders, Renato Usaty, called it "our first victory".
Moldova's central bank has withdrawn the operating licences of Banca de Economii and two other banks - the private Banca Sociala and Unibank.
The scandal erupted in April, when the central bank found that the three banks had lent $1bn to unidentified beneficiaries.
The trail points to a UK-registered company, Fortuna United, which is a limited partnership made up of two Seychelles companies.
Fortuna United is named in a leaked report, by the New York-based corporate investigative agency Kroll, as the firm that is ultimately owed the entire proceeds of the Moldovan fraud.
Businessman Ilan Shor, a former chairman of Banca de Economii, has told prosecutors that Mr Filat received payments from the bank, Moldova's Infotag news agency reports.
Mr Shor denies involvement in a scheme to siphon off money from the banks.
Stuart Lancaster's side will face the Pumas on Saturday, 8 June and Saturday, 15 June with both matches kicking off at 20:10 BST on BBC Two.
The first game will played in Salta, with the second in Buenos Aries.
Pundits Sir Clive Woodward, Jonathan Davies, Brian Moore and Keith Wood join presenters John Inverdale and Jason Mohammed. Eddie Butler is commentating.
Philip Bernie, BBC head of TV Sport said: 'We know that there is always a keen audience to watch England's rugby internationals, so we're delighted to be covering their two Tests in Argentina, who will provide a strong challenge.
"This adds to our considerable regular portfolio of international rugby live on BBC television."
The theme, Building Better Worlds, focuses on how science, technology and engineering can transform the world and the way we live in it.
Festival officials said Scotland is a world leader in scientific research.
Venues across the capital will play host to more than 250 activities from 26 March to 10 April.
Among the highlights for adults, leading astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees will be joined by European Space Agency astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy and Prof Chris Rapley to share their views and experience on the big challenges of today's world.
To help mark Dolly the Sheep's 20th birthday, Prof Sir Ian Wilmut will discuss how the cutting-edge research continues to influence science developments.
Artist Warren Elsmore will create a Mars habitat display with Lego building blocks at the National Museum of Scotland.
Dame Evelyn Glennie will perform a new composition by composer Jill Jarman in the world premiere of The Sounds of Science.
And the City Art Centre will feature five floors of experiments and activities for children.
Amanda Tyndall, Edinburgh International Science Festival's creative director, said: "In 2016 Edinburgh International Science Festival asks: how can we all collaborate to help build a better world?
"It's a huge question but I'm excited by the mix of world-leading scientists, artists, authors and innovators that will join audiences in Edinburgh to share and debate their visions of a better world.
"Science and technology have the potential to help us address so many of the key challenges we face; from how we feed, heal and fuel the world to how we live happy and fulfilling lives as we do so."
She added: "But they don't work in isolation from the wider world. It is through collaboration with their creative cousins that we stand the best chance of innovating and securing our future.
"This year's Festival celebrates this with a programme focus on the fertile space where science meets the arts, with something for curious minds of all ages."
At just 16 years old the youngster is already being tipped by his coach Sinisa Mihajlovic as the "future of Italian football".
Donnarumma has started the last four games for the Rossoneri and his rise to fame has been so great that the youngster does not even merit a profile on football video game Fifa 2016.
On Saturday he faces Juventus and his idol, Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon.
Before the game BBC Sport takes a closer look at the 6ft 5in shot-stopper.
Donnarumma was born in Castellammare di Stabia on 25 February 1999.
The story goes that Donnarumma was so big for his age that his mother would bring a birth certificate along to every game to show opposition teams who thought he was too old for the age group he was playing in.
He followed his brother into the Milan academy, but while Gianluigi went on to make his senior debut for the Rossoneri, older brother Antonio, also a goalkeeper, was sold to Genoa without ever playing in the famous red and black.
"I chose to come to AC Milan and not Inter partly because my brother played here and partly because I have always been a Milan fan. I always wanted to be a goalkeeper. I started on a pitch near my home and I never had any other dream."
His first contract was negotiated by super agent Mino Raiola, who counts Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba among his clients.
Former Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi named Donnarumma on the bench for a match against Cesena in February, days before his 16th birthday.
In pre-season the youngster was promoted to Milan's first team by Mihajlovic as a third-choice goalkeeper.
He was part of the tour to China and made his debut in a friendly against Real Madrid in August.
Replacing Diego Lopez in the 72nd minute, Donnarumma saved a penalty from German World Cup winner Toni Kroos in the shootout to send it to sudden death.
But he missed the decisive penalty as Milan lost 10-9 on penalties.
Just weeks into the new season Donnarumma made his Serie A debut, in a 2-1 win at home to Sassuolo on 25 October.
At 16 years and eight months he became the youngest debutant goalkeeper in the Italy top division, since Gianluca Pacchiarotti who played for Pescara aged 16 years and 192 days in 1980.
"The day before the Sassuolo match, the coach called me into the changing rooms. He gave a brief speech and he told me of his decision," said Donnarumma.
"It was an incredible feeling. At first, I didn't realise that he was going to select me. Usually, I keep my feelings inside, but that day it was very hard. After training, I called my parents right away and they left Castellammare to come and watch me."
Donnarumma went on to keep his place in the side, ahead of former Real Madrid keeper Lopez, who is now out with a knee injury.
In the last league game against Atalanta on 7 November, Donnarumma made three crucial saves to earn Milan a point in a 0-0 draw, their first clean sheet of the season.
His performances have seen him earn a call-up to Italy under-21s.
When Donnarumma takes to the field against Juventus on Saturday, at the other end of the pitch will be 37-year-old Buffon.
"Buffon is my idol," said Donnarumma. "My dream is to become a regular in the senior national team and follow in his footsteps. Everyone would like to have a career like his."
Buffon's career began almost exactly 20 years ago, when the then 17-year-old made his debut for Parma against AC Milan on 19 November 1995.
He has gone on to win 154 caps with Italy, the World Cup and is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all time.
Does Donnarumma think he can reach the heights of his idol?
"I do not know if I was destined as many say," he added. "I definitely keep my feet on the ground."
Italian football writer and broadcaster Mina Rzouki: "Donnarumma is exceptionally big for his age with a huge wingspan and is agile for someone of his size. Italy does not usually produce such huge players.
"He is a well adjusted boy with a great family set-up and is very level headed. He is devoted to the art form of becoming a goalkeeper and that makes all the difference. He is not just talented, he has the right mindset and never gets flustered.
"He has appealed to two coaches in Inzaghi and Mihajlovic which says a lot about his character, he is highly rated and a model professional. To keep a player like Lopez out of the team means he must be something special.
"His weaknesses are crosses and his positioning, he has had made mistakes and been inconsistent but Mihajlovic has stuck with him regardless and put faith in him."
Selby, who turns 27 on Christmas Day, won his second professional fight on Saturday with a second-round stoppage of unbeaten Hungarian Jozsef Ajtai.
The Barry boxer has a sparkling amateur record and wants to be fast-tracked into the elite level in the paid ranks.
"The more I fight the better I perform so hopefully I'll be out again in December," he told Channel 5.
"Hopefully I can break records - win a British title, then maybe go for a European or world title straight away.
"It's very realistic, that's the plan. After 10 fights I want to go for a world title."
Selby's older brother, Lee, fought 21 times before getting a world title shot, beating Evgeny Gradovich in May this year to claim the IBF world featherweight title.
Wales' 12th world champion was in the crowd in Bristol as his brother looked a class apart by overwhelming 18-year-old Ajtai, who arrived with a 10-fight unbeaten record.
The referee spared the teenager from any more punishment towards the end of the second round as Selby landed with a succession of heavy combinations and faced nothing in return.
"I thought we was going to come steaming in at me because he was a smaller guy but as soon as I landed a jab he knew I was too strong for him," said Selby, who is already ranked the fourth best British flyweight.
"He went on the back foot and wasn't throwing any punches."
With two European Championship gold medals (2011 and 2013) and a silver medal at the 2011 World Championships, Selby is classed as Wales' most successful amateur boxer.
He can also boast an unbeaten 10-fight record in the World Series of Boxing, a professional competition open to amateurs, and is convinced he is destined to be a world champion.
"I think I can do it," he said.
"I think I've got all the talent in the world. I've just got to keep the dedication and train hard."
Thirty-two people were hurt when the Chicago Transit Authority train jumped its tracks at O'Hare International Airport and hurtled up an escalator.
The woman, 25, worked as an operator for two months and reportedly admitted it was not the first time she had dozed off at work.
None of the injuries at the busy airport was said to be serious.
The Chicago Transport Authority (CTA) said that it did not believe the driver's work schedule played a role in the 24 March crash.
But it said that changes to its train operator scheduling policies would be implemented as result of an internal review of the crash at O'Hare.
CTA officials were quoted in the Chicago Tribune as saying that the driver had worked 55 hours in the seven days preceding the incident but was off work for 18 hours prior to the shift in question. Officials say that she also admitted to over-running a station in February.
CTA spokeswoman Tammy Chase was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying that it could terminate the contract of an operator for two serious safety violations and that "an incident of this severity is sufficient for termination".
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that train was travelling at about 42 km/h (26 mph) when it entered the station, a normal speed, and tripped an emergency braking system beside the track that failed to stop it before the impact.
NTSB investigator Ted Turpin said last month that the train operator had admitted that she had "dozed off" prior to entering the station.
A win on Saturday would move the Cherries level on points with the defending champions.
"That game at Stamford Bridge was one of the highlights of the season," Francis told BBC Radio Solent. "We'll take a lot of confidence from that."
Glenn Murray's late header gave Bournemouth a 1-0 victory in December.
It made Eddie Howe's side the first promoted club to beat Chelsea at home since Charlton in April 2001.
But Francis, who led his side to his first win as captain that day, is expecting a very different test five months down the line.
"We know our home form hasn't been good enough against the top teams, bar beating Manchester United," he said.
"We know the dangers Chelsea possess and what a win against them would do for us. That's a huge incentive for us."
Bournemouth still have a chance of a top-half finish in their first-ever top flight season and Francis is keen to finish with momentum behind them.
"We're not going to take our foot off the gas," he added. "These are massive games and we don't want this season to fizzle out."

The 25-year-old Northern Ireland midfielder helped Thistle to two wins and two draws during the month.
England-born Barton, who has one cap, joined the Glasgow club this summer after leaving Portsmouth.
He followed up a fine October with a fine goal in a 2-1 defeat by Aberdeen at the start of November.
Barton started his career with Preston North End before spells with Crawley Town, Coventry City and Fleetwood Town.
Tommy Mattinson, from Aspatria, retained his title as World Gurning Champion, claiming his 16th triumph.
The event is a highlight of the Egremont Crab Fair and involves hopefuls pulling an ugly face through a horse collar or "braffin".
Mr Mattinson, adopted his trademark expression, described as a "cross between an alien and a wolf man".
The crab fair, which dates back to Medieval times, also features traditional sports such as Cumberland wrestling, and a pipe smoking competition.
Wayne Routledge poked home Kyle Naughton's low cross against the run of play to give the visitors the lead.
Andre Ayew doubled the lead from Stephen Kingsley's cross, and Ki Sung-yueng put the result beyond doubt.
Diafra Sakho netted a consolation before substitute Bafetimbi Gomis added Swansea's fourth.
It was an uncharacteristically limp home performance from Slaven Bilic's side, and with Manchester United victorious earlier in the day, their chances of a top-four finish now appear remote.
Swansea's fine form since Francesco Guidolin's appointment continues and they climb two places to 11th, with a chance to finish in the top half if they win their final game against Manchester City.
When Guidolin was appointed in January, Swansea were 18th and relegation appeared a very real possibility.
Many were sceptical about the ability of a manager with no experience of English football to turn around the perilous situation, but the Italian has now overseen eight wins from his 16 league games with the Welsh club.
And this was perhaps the most impressive of the lot, as he made six changes from the side that beat Liverpool - resting such influential players as Ashley Williams and Gylfi Sigurdsson - but still inflicted only a third home defeat of the season on West Ham.
"The manager has done brilliantly since he came in - all credit to him and his staff," said midfielder Jack Cork. "We've completely changed it around and people won't be looking at us and saying we've had a bad season."
Guidolin's contract is up next week but the 60-year-old refused to confirm whether he would be in charge next season, saying: "I am tired of answering questions."
Bilic's heaviest home league defeat as West Ham manager could largely be traced to his ongoing ploy of playing Michail Antonio - a midfielder by trade - at right-back.
Antonio has made some significant attacking contributions since being moved into the back four, but here his defensive deficiencies were brutally exposed, as he was at fault for each of Swansea's first three goals.
First he was caught far too high up the pitch as Ki made a run down the left and crossed for Naughton, who centred for Routledge.
Then he allowed Kingsley to scorch past him before the left-back delivered a superb cross that Ayew converted from close range.
Finally, he was embarrassed by Modou Barrow's clever turn, which allowed the winger to find Ki on the edge of the area, from where the South Korean produced an assured finish.
This was surely a performance to convince Bilic that the 26-year-old does not have a long-term future at the back.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "What went wrong? Well, we started well for 20 minutes - it was like we were on fire, with the whole game being played in front of the Swansea goal. But Swansea have players who are capable of hurting you, and from nothing we conceded the first and second goals. We started losing out on balls in the middle of the park.

"I'm not that disappointed with our play with the ball, but without the ball we had too many passengers, relying on someone else to get the ball and play it to me in a good position.
"The bottom line is Swansea deserved it, and it's been a shock for us. We had a chance to qualify for the Champions League, but I have always said the gap I was focused on was the smaller one below us with Southampton and Liverpool. We really want to finish as high as possible and to achieve that we have to react in these final two games."
Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin: "I am very happy for my players, and I am very, very happy because we played very well.

"West Ham started very strongly and it was very difficult for us, but I don't think they played with pressure because West Ham's season has been very good. They are one of the best teams in the league this year.
"Our season is not finished and my team is not on the beach. We showed this in recent weeks against both Liverpool and now West Ham, and I hope also against Manchester City."
West Ham play Manchester United on Tuesday in the Boleyn Ground's final game, while Swansea's final match against Manchester City takes place next Sunday.

Chris Masters, 44, was stranded in a Bangkok hospital until his local NHS in Shropshire could find him a bed.
He was flown to intensive care at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on Wednesday, where bosses apologised for the delay due to high demand for beds.
Mr Masters' wife Yvonne thanked doctors and well-wishers for their support.
More on Chris' story and other news from Shropshire
She said: "I know that there are only a limited number of critical care beds in the county and that one cannot just be made available at the drop of a hat and I would like to thank everybody for their hard work in ensuring that we could get Chris home as soon as possible."
Mrs Masters, from Telford, thought her previously fit and healthy husband had sun stroke when he fell ill after their first week on holiday at the beginning of March.
He went to hospital in Phuket before being flown to Bangkok for specialist treatment.
His aunt Jenny Houghton said doctors had saved his life and called the care he received "wonderful".
A month later, Mr Masters was certified fit to fly, but Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SATH) said it had no beds.
His family hoped he could be transferred to Birmingham, where his parents live, or anywhere else in the UK.
But his insurer, MAPFRE Assistance, said hospitals outside his catchment area "would not consider accepting a patient unless under extreme circumstances".
Debbie Kadum, chief operating officer at SATH , said: "Our hospitals have been very busy recently and we would like to apologise to this gentleman's family for the delays they have faced in repatriating him." | The International Olympic Committee has stripped 10 athletes of medals from the 2008 Olympics after banned substances were found during retests of samples.

Victims of the Nazis, as well as people killed in genocides since the Second World War, have been remembered.
Events have been taking place from Langholm in Dumfriesshire to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides.
A specially commissioned candle was lit by a Holocaust survivor at Kyle Academy in Ayr.
At another event in Broughty Ferry, pupils from Grove Academy unveiled a memorial plaque to holocaust victims during a ceremony attended by civic leaders.
Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January each year.
The sculptor Sir Anish Kapour was commissioned to create 70 candles to be distributed at 70 events across the UK and to mark 70 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp on 27 January 1945.
Ela Weissberger, 84, who survived the holocaust, lit one of the candles at Kyle Academy in Ayr.
Ms Weissberger talking about Holocaust Memorial Day, said: "The whole world is in turmoil. It will help children not to follow those very bad people."
A Bosnian war survivor, 39-year-old Hasan Hasanovic, who escaped the mass killings at Srebrenica, joined Ms Weissberger in detailing their personal experiences of genocide.
Mr Hasanovic, who's father and twin brother were both killed at Srebrenica, said: "Bosnia, Rwanda, Darfur show the whole world is not learning lessons. It's very important to learn from history."
Pupils from Kyle Academy, who had visited Auschwitz, also gave presentations.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon met survivors and pupils at an event in Ayr.
She said: "The purpose of Holocaust Memorial Day - and the reason it's essential to keep the memory alive - is that if we understand the very worst consequences of intolerance and prejudice, we are less likely to accept them in today's society.
"Remembering the holocaust, and subsequent genocides, is an honour we owe to the victims - and it's also a duty we owe to ourselves.
"Thinking about specific individuals - the lives they led, the choices they made, the fates they endured - is one way in which we can start to comprehend the horror of what happened."
Tributes were made at the Scottish Parliament, where a debate was held to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.
SNP MSP Stewart Maxwell, who led the debate, noted that the theme for the memorial this year was "Keep the Memory Alive".
He said: "Every year there are fewer survivors of Auschwitz-Birkenau camps. It will be much easier to deny the Holocaust when there are no survivors left.
"The atrocities of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust resulted in mass murder on a scale almost incomprehensible today, but it is vital that we remember and mark the atrocities to warn against future evil.
"Holocaust Memorial Day is a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up to prejudice, hatred and intolerance in our society, particularly at a time while hate crime and religious intolerance is reportedly on the rise across Europe."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "The greatest tribute we can pay to those who endured the atrocities at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka and the many concentration camps across Europe, is to remember them.
"We have a generational responsibility to our past to ensure that these brutal acts never happen again in future."
Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, James Wolffe QC, said: "We remember the victims of the Holocaust, and all victims of genocide, and we also honour the survivors and all those who have stood out against genocidal regimes.
"As lawyers, we should, by reflecting on this most abhorrent of crimes against humanity, be renewed in our commitment to the rule of law both domestically and internationally and to the protection of fundamental rights."
Ideoba is run by former Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price and American financial services expert Andrew Auerbach, who met at Harvard university in the USA.
Support comes from Harvard professor Harry Lewis, who taught billionaires Bill Gates of Microsoft and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg.
Mr Price said Wales was "moving from coal mining to data mining."
The company has won financial backing from the Welsh government, whose economy minister Edwina Hart was opening Ideoba's research and development centre on Tuesday.
The company aims to create website search engines giving financial investment organisations access to advice from 300 million experts across the world, while existing businesses use smaller scale, manually-generated databases.
Mr Auerbach said although the company's main markets were in London and New York, support from the Welsh government and "Adam's passion for Wales" were two of three factors which had persuaded him of the suitability of the location.
He added: "There's a lot of very talented people around the area who ready to work and are accessible."
Mr Price said the Bridgend area already had companies working in a similar field, adding that Sony's Raspberry Pii device was produced just down the corridor from them.
"We've already got a cluster of hi-tech companies serving global markets and that's very positive news for us going forward," he said.
"We're moving from coal mining to data mining."
The company will start with just nine employees, but Mr Auerbach said they were confident that their model would allow them to grow to around 100 employees in the next three years.
Ms Hart said: "This an extremely exciting development with huge potential and I am delighted Ideoba chose to locate in Wales.
"It sends out a very strong message that Wales is a key centre for both financial services and ICT - two of our priority sectors that are fully supported by the Welsh government."

Ross Byrne's 79th-minute drop goal had edged the visitors ahead after Ospreys led 18-17 from the 62nd-minute.
Tries by Sam Davies and Justin Tipuric had helped give the home team a slender advantage.
Sean Cronin and Dan Leavy crossed for Leinster, who took a huge step towards a home draw in the Pro12 play-offs.
The win extends Leinster's lead at the top of the table to seven points before second-placed Munster's match with Glasgow on Saturday evening.
Showing eight changes in personnel from their European Champions Cup win over Wasps, Leinster were cool under pressure and responded brilliantly after a sluggish start.
Ospreys' place in the top four will come under threat if Scarlets beat Treviso on Saturday, potentially cutting their cushion over fifth place to two points.
Biggar lined up to take the penalty after returning to the field following treatment for a cut head, and said on television he was dazed and could remember little of the final 10 minutes.
For their part, Leinster could have paid a heavy price for opting to go for the corner instead of kick for goal from a penalty when the score was 17-11 in their favour.
But replacement Byrne's drop goal - and Biggar's miss - meant their gamble was not ultimately punished.
Ospreys made all the early running and were ahead within four minutes when Davies dived over wide on the right after Rhys Webb, Josh Matavesi and Olly Cracknell made good ground up the middle.
Biggar missed the conversion after earlier hitting a post with a long-range penalty attempt, but was on target to give the home side an 8-0 lead after nine minutes.
Leinster were possibly disrupted by their changes in personnel from the 32-17 European Champions' Cup win over Wasps, but struck back in style in the 23rd minute.
Exploiting some uncertain defending in the wide channels, Zane Kirchner set Cronin free and the Ireland international hooker celebrated his first start since January with a swerve past Biggar to run-in from 30 metres.
Full-back Isa Necawa added the extras and a penalty before Bigger struck on the stroke of half time to restore Ospreys' lead.
Cronin was in on the act again early in the second half, bursting up to the Ospreys tryline to set up the attack from which half-time replacement Leavy twisted and rolled over for the second Leinster try.
Ospreys hit back after Davies' spiralling touch finder set up a position from which Rhys Webb sniped to within inches of the line and Tipuric touched down.
Davies' conversion edged the Ospreys back ahead.
There was no hint at that stage of the drama that was to follow in the dying minutes.
Leo Cullen, Leinster head coach: "I did think he (Biggar) would put the kick over. But it looked like a bit of a tired kick and it had been a draining game and it looked like the game had taken its toll.
"When he stepped up to it I thought there was a fair chance he was going to kick it."
Steve Tandy, Ospreys head coach: "It's a pretty devastated changing room in the fact that we're coming off the wrong end of some scoreboards, but we've just got to dust ourselves off and get back on the horse.
"We've got a big match now on Judgement Day (v Cardiff Blues) and the only crumb of comfort in it all is we're still in control of getting into the top four, but it's a bitterly disappointing result."

Dagnall flicked Zoumana Bakayogo's cross from the byline into the roof of the net on 56 minutes to cancel out Pat Hoban's 51st-minute header.
A draw was a fair outcome as both sides lacked quality in the final third. Hoban drove high over with an early shooting chance for the Stags, while James Jones' volley was comfortably fielded by Scott Shearer.
Shearer was alert to repel a shot on the turn from Dagnall and a fierce blast from Ryan Lowe.
But it was Mansfield frontman Danny Rose who went closest in the first half with a diving header which arrowed inches past the post.
Rose featured at the other end when he got his foot in the way to divert a goal-bound shot by Jones as Crewe stepped up the pressure before the interval.
But it was Mansfield who forged ahead soon after the break when Hogan drifted free at a corner to glance Kevan Hurst's cross into the bottom corner.
The lead was short-lived though as Dagnall struck - and it was Crewe who were chasing a winner in the closing stages. But the dependable Shearer pushed away a header from George Ray and fellow substitute Dan Udoh drove a later effort into the side netting.

Women born after 6 April 1951 should all have been warned that they would not get a state pension at 60, as their retirement age is gradually raised.
But thousands of women have complained that they were not given proper notice of the change.
However, the government insisted all those women were contacted directly.
"They deserve compensation. They were wronged," said Baroness Bakewell, who was previously a government "tsar" for older people.
"They expected that their pension would start at a certain age - 60 - and then the law was changed quite suddenly."
Under the 1995 Pensions Act, the government decided that the pension ages of both men and women would be equalised by 2020. Previously, women retired at 60, while men retired at 65.
In 2011, state pension ages were raised at an even faster rate.
Some of those born between April 1951 and 1960 will not qualify for a pension until the age of 66.
Campaigners belonging to Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) say some women had very little notice that they would not get a pension at 60.
Norah Hickey, a 61 year-old former teacher from Solihull in the West Midlands, said she only had two years' warning.
"When I was informed at the age of 58 that I wouldn't be getting it, it really was a big shock," she told the BBC.
Instead of getting her pension at 60, she will now get it at 65, meaning she will have lost at least £30,000 in pension payments.
She said she had lived at the same address for 26 years, so there was no excuse for not writing to tell her.
The government's state pension calculator is available here.
However the government said that all those affected were written to, using address details recorded by HM Revenue and Customs.
It said it would not be "revisiting" the arrangements.
"I can't see any way in which the government would undo a law that was properly made in 2011, and which is potentially going to cost billions of pounds," pensions minister Baroness Altmann told the BBC.
"I really do feel for them. But at the end of the day most of these women will still get their state pension before a man born at the same time," she said.
More than 35,000 people have now signed a petition asking for the government to make transitional arrangements, to ease financial difficulties.
Those whose pension ages are raised after 2017 are likely to be given at least ten years' notice of the changes.
The deadly crush took place at the historic riverfront walk, the Bund, where huge crowds had gathered.
The announcement came on the same day investigators released a report into the incident.
Four district officials were fired for failing to prevent public risk.
Authorities said the 49 people injured in the crush would also be given payouts depending on their injuries, according to a statement on the Huangpu district authority's official microblog.
Families of the relatives have previously complained about being kept away from the media and from each other.
The four officials who lost their jobs were Zhou Wei, the Communist Party chief in Huangpu district, his deputy Peng Song, the district's public security chief and the deputy police chief.
Several other district officials were disciplined but no city-level officials have yet to face any disciplinary action.
The report released after the investigation described a series of events in which district police and officials were aware of growing crowds but failed to act or communicate the risk to higher authorities.
"The constant flow of people up and down the stairs caused a deadlock, then a surging wave," the report said, in reference to a stairway that connects an elevated promenade along the Bund.
"Pressure from the crowd going down increased, causing some at the bottom of the stairs to lose their balance and fall, leading to many people falling, overlapping, which caused the stampede," the report said.
Bee, a labradoodle, tumbled about 20ft (6m) down the cliff at Perranporth before becoming stranded on a loose ledge at about 20:00 BST on Wednesday.
A member of St Agnes Coastguard Search and Rescue team was lowered down to the dog before they abseiled about 80ft (24m) to the beach.
Owner Rachel Budzinska said it had been "very traumatic". Bee was unhurt.
Ms Budzinska said she "couldn't thank them enough" and would be "forever indebted" to the team.
Robert Farr, who saved the dog, said she had been "clinging on and yelping" and he had to "coax" her into a rescue bag so they could safely abseil down to the beach.
From choirs to cabaret performers and musicians to artists, each will stage an event inspired by a different track.
The album - released on 1 June 1967 - regularly comes towards the top of lists of the greatest albums ever made.
The Liverpool festival takes place in May and June and is split into two halves - one for each side of the LP.
The first event - based on the first track -will act as an "overture" and will take place from 25-27 May, with the rest of side one being staged from 1-5 June.
Side two will take place from 8-11 June - except A Day in the Life, which will be the finale on 16 June.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said the festival would be "thought-provoking, sometimes cheeky and always entertaining".
At the event's launch on Wednesday, he said: "We're not about wrapping The Beatles' heritage in aspic or, if you like, turning The Beatles into a Disney-style theme park.
"But we have to celebrate the place, the city, that gave them their inspiration and helped them write their fantastic work."
Jeremy Deller said one of his works will be about Brian Epstein in the year of the 50th anniversary of The Beatles manager's death. Details of his second work are under wraps.
"Every project has its own challenges but it's a record I've lived with and I know The Beatles inside out - or I feel I do. I've studied them," Deller said.
"It's almost like a religion, isn't it, popular music, and The Beatles are at the apex of that. So I feel I have an inside take on it."
He added: "I think it's important it doesn't become a big nostalgia festival really. I don't mind nostalgia, but the festival has to be about more than just The Beatles - it has to be about Liverpool as it is now and the future of Liverpool to have any meaning for the public."

It follows seven incidents in the city in past few days.
Members of the public have been approached by a group stating that they have just arrived in Scotland. They offered fake gold jewellery or future repayment in return for money.
Most attempts were unsuccessful but some people were defrauded of cash.
The incidents happened between Tuesday 3 January and Thursday 5 January, police said.
The locations were on Cramond Road North, on Corstorphine Road near the zoo, on Bo'ness Road, at the Dreghorn Junction of the Edinburgh City Bypass, on Craighouse Road, on George Street and on London Road.
The suspect descriptions vary although they are believed to be of men, of Asian appearance and in their 30-40s. On occasion the group included a woman.
They were driving a white or sliver car at the time of the offences.
Insp David Robertson said: "We have had seven incidents of a similar nature over the last three days.
"In all cases, the suspects have approached people from a car and have offered jewellery as a collateral.
"We would advise anyone approached by this group not give them any money and report any incidents immediately to Police Scotland."
The suspect reportedly approached three young girls in the east of the city last August, asking them to touch him.
The father of one of the girls complained to the Police Ombudsman's Office over the PSNI's response.
The PSNI has apologised, saying it had "failed" to provide a professional service on this occasion.
The Police Ombudsman found that police failed to treat the initial 999 call as an emergency and failed to secure CCTV pictures.
After delays on the part of the police, some CCTV footage was automatically wiped clean.
The suspect has still not been caught. The girls were about seven-years-old at the time.
The Police Ombudsman, Dr Michael Maguire, has concluded that although police subsequently went to "great lengths" to find the suspect, their efforts were undermined by "failures in the early part of the investigation".
The ombudsman's staff were given access to all police radio transmissions, phone calls and documentation related to the investigation into the incident on the Beersbridge Road. They also interviewed a number of people involved in case.
Dr Maguire's team established that the initial 999 call was made at 16:26 BST on 4 August, and that a police despatch officer circulated a description of the alleged offender within two minutes of receiving the call.
However, when the dispatch officer entered a report of the incident on the PSNI's computer system, the ombudsman's office found they had given it "a grading which indicated that while the issue had a degree of importance, it did not require an emergency response".
The initial 999 caller told police the suspect ran off towards a nearby river, but police received a second call 32 minutes later telling them he was still in the area.
Following the second call, the police dispatch officer's supervisor stepped in and instructed that the incident should be dealt with as an emergency, sending a police vehicle to the scene.
Dr Maguire said the police dispatch officer had "failed to assign police officers to the call and failed to consider the young age of the girls and the fact the alleged perpetrator had left the scene".
"This report required police to attend immediately; regrettably this did not happen. Police lost 32 minutes in responding to the call and with this an opportunity to apprehend the man," the ombudsman added.
The policewoman who was then tasked with leading the investigation had technical difficulties getting CCTV footage from a nearby petrol station.
The Police Ombudsman's investigation found that "she failed to ask for the necessary technical help from colleagues or to explain the urgency of the task, all of which contributed to a delay, during which time the footage was automatically wiped clean".
Police Ombudsman investigators also identified CCTV footage from a nearby shop which had been "overlooked" by the the PSNI.
The surviving footage was then seized by police but the ombudsman said that "despite a thorough investigation from this point onwards", the suspect has not been caught.
Both the police dispatch officer and the Investigating Officer have been disciplined as a result of the ombudsman's findings.
In a statement, District Commander Nigel Grimshaw said: "As a police service, we are committed to providing a professional service to the community and apologise that, on this occasion, we failed to do that.
"While such failings reflect badly on the Police Service of Northern Ireland, it is a single incident, one which we must learn from, but it does not reflect the excellent work which our officers do every day to support the local community and keep people safe."
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told the Victoria Derbyshire Show he was "worried" police officers were put "in the same position as the criminal".
He said officers should not be criminalised over job requirements.
A former Met firearms officer who shot dead Azelle Rodney was recently cleared of murder 10 years after the shooting.
Mr Rodney, 24, was shot six times after firearms officer Anthony Long believed his colleagues were in "imminent" danger during a police operation to foil an attempted robbery in Mill Hill, north London, in April 2005.
Sir Bernard said he was "really concerned" about the case but had expressed his "regret" for what had happened and offered to meet Mr Rodney's mother now the case was over.
He said: "I am worried that in law we're putting officers in a position that is the same as the criminal who decided to go out with a firearm, decided to commit a crime.
"They made that choice, and then the officer takes the right action and it still seems as though they're having to explain it 10 years later.
"That worries me and I think in law we've got to look at it."
Sir Bernard said he understood the reasons why a prosecution was eventually brought in the case of Mr Rodney and said his death was a "terrible" thing for his mother, Susan Alexander.
But Sir Bernard criticised the "very forensic analysis" that takes place after a police decision to open fire.
"The officers who come forward to carry firearms are volunteers on behalf of society, the 60 million of us, they're the ones we ask to go and confront criminals who have, or we believe they have, firearms," he said.
"I really worry on behalf of our officers in that split second they have to make a decision, not only are they thinking about the present circumstances, are they thinking more about what might come next - and they may therefore make the wrong decision?"
He added: "I think sometimes the people who judge them later haven't had that experience. They don't understand that momentary judgment which is really quite a difficult one."
Sir Bernard's five-year term as Met Commissioner ends in September 2016. Asked whether he'd like to stay on for "another couple of years", he said he'd "like to" because he loved the job and there was a lot still to do.

Roberts and his team-mates fought back from 13-0 down on Sunday in Dublin, a day after England saw off Scotland and France narrowly beat Italy.
"The championship is wide open and if we win the next four games, we will be in with a shout," said Roberts.
Captain Sam Warburton said Wales' four remaining games are "must win".
Warren Gatland's side host Scotland on Saturday and France on Friday, 26 February before going to Twickenham to face England on 12 March and returning to Cardiff to take on Italy on Saturday 19 March.
No team has ever won the Six Nations after drawing their opening game.
But British and Irish Lions centre Roberts says having taken the 2013 title after losing their opening game to Ireland in Cardiff offers encouragement in 2016.
"We won the championship in 2013 after losing the first game and we all remember what happened last year on that last Saturday after teams lost a game as well," said Roberts.
However, the 29-year-old Harlequins centre is expecting Scotland to provide another tough test when they meet at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Roberts believes Scotland were "desperately unlucky" to lose to Australia in the 2015 World Cup quarter-finals and are "an impressive team".

"(Coach) Vern Cotter has brought them on leaps and bounds, there are some quality players and they are going to cause us a huge threat," said the ex-Cardiff Blues and Racing 92 player.
Roberts was pleased to rekindle his Wales and Lions centre partnership with Clermont Auvergne's Jonathan Davies, who had been ruled out of the World Cup by a knee injury.
"It was good. He is a quality player," Roberts added.
"But I think as a backline we have got a bit to work on, certainly in phase play.
"A couple of lads have not played for a while and we have got to get things right in training and move up another notch."
The move sent fresh shockwaves through Asian markets, but the bank has sought to calm fears, saying it was not the start of a sustained depreciation.
The yuan fell another 1% on Wednesday, marking the biggest two-day lowering of its rate against the dollar in more than two decades.
The new rate is meant to boost exports.
Figures released at the weekend showed Chinese exports fell more than 8% in July, adding to concerns the world's second largest economy is heading for a slowdown.
There were further signs of weakness on Wednesday, when figures showed industrial production in July rose 6% from the previous year. The rise was smaller than expected and was also below the 6.8% increase seen in June.
Fixed asset investment, a measure of state spending on infrastructure, expanded 11.2% for the first half of the year, also below estimates and at its lowest since December 2000.
However, the action on the yuan has sparked fears of a global and destabilising "currency war". There has been criticism from the US, where markets fell sharply overnight.

Karishma Vaswani: Not why, but why now?
On Wednesday, China's central bank fixed the "official midpoint" for the yuan down 1.6% to 6.3306 against the dollar.
The midpoint is a guiding rate, from which trade can rise or fall 2% during the day.
Until Tuesday, that rate had been determined solely by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) itself. But the rate will now be based on overnight global market developments and how the currency finished the previous trading day.
The bank, which had called Tuesday's 1.9% cut a "one-off" adjustment, sought to reassure financial markets on Wednesday.
"Looking at the international and domestic economic situation, currently there is no basis for a sustained depreciation trend for the yuan," it said in a statement.
Although the devaluation shocked the international markets, a total move of more than 3% is not significant for most companies. But further falls could start to change the fortunes of some businesses in and out of China. Here are the potential winners and losers:
Winners
Losers
The International Monetary Fund said the move to make the rate more market-based "appears a welcome step".
"Greater exchange rate flexibility is important for China as it strives to give market-forces a decisive role in the economy and is rapidly integrating into global financial markets," the international lender said in a statement.
"We believe that China can, and should, aim to achieve an effectively floating exchange rate system within two to three years."
The IMF added, though, that the decision would not affects its considerations of Beijing's hopes for the yuan to be added to the "special drawing rights" (SDR) reserve currencies.
These are currencies which IMF members can use to make payments between themselves or to the Fund.
China has long been lobbying to have the yuan included alongside the dollar, euro, yen and the British pound.
The magazine said it had found the mysterious "Satoshi Nakamoto", the man whose name has been linked with the creation of the currency.
That "scoop" apparently proved false - Dorian Nakamoto (birth name Satoshi) ended up suing Newsweek after he said his life was turned completely upside down.
And so it is with that rigmarole still fresh in our minds that I tentatively offer this article from Wired which says Bitcoin creator "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym used by a 44-year-old Australian cryptologist named Craig Steven Wright.
"Either Wright invented bitcoin," Wired's Andy Greenberg and Gwen Branwen write, "Or he's a brilliant hoaxer who very badly wants us to believe he did."
Bitcoin is a virtual currency built around a complicated cryptographic protocol and a global network of computers that oversees and verifies which coins have been spent by whom. Its anonymous nature means it is a popular choice for criminal activity as it is extremely difficult to trace who is spending Bitcoin.
The currency's creator (or creators, perhaps) is proving just as difficult to trace.
Wired cite leaked documents it says shows communication between Dr Wright and his lawyers in which he is reported to have said: "I did my best to try and hide the fact that I've been running Bitcoin since 2009.
"By the end of this I think half the world is going to bloody know."
I've tried to reach Dr Wright, but to no avail. His blog was taken offline shortly after Wired published its report, while Dr Wright's Twitter account went from being protected to being deleted altogether.
According to the online profiles that remain online, he runs DeMorgan Ltd, a Sydney-based company that looks at "alternative currency".
For the full break down of Wired's body of research into Dr Wright, I urge you to read their full article. But it can be summed up as:
- Blog posts apparently published well before the launch of Bitcoin sharing and seeking expertise on creating cryptocurrencies.
- A request for people to email him details by using an encrypted key previously linked to someone identifying themselves as being Satoshi Nakamoto.
- A post announcing the launch of Bitcoin that was later deleted and replaced with a note saying "the best way to hide is right in the open".
Furthermore, leaked emails and transcripts back up what the magazine says - pointing to Dr Wright having huge stashes of Bitcoins, which he among other things used to invest in setting up a Bitcoin bank.
But, and it's a big but, Wired is quick to pre-emptively point out the potential holes in its theory - saying it could be a very elaborate hoax.
"The unverified leaked documents could have been faked in whole or in part," the magazine said.
But later adds: "But this much is clear: If Wright is seeking to fake his Nakamoto connection, his hoax would be practically as ambitious as bitcoin itself."
The body of evidence presented is certainly compelling, and fills in many of the holes not covered by other supposed outings of the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, who is fast becoming something of a Lord Lucan for the digital world.

The famous regiment was amalgamated in 1994 to become part of the Highlanders, with Prince Charles its last colonel-in-chief.
Saturday's event was held in the Moray town of Buckie.
It honoured recipients of the Victoria Cross, the UK's highest award for gallantry.
Speaking before the event, retired regimental Major Grenville Irvine-Fortescue said it would be a significant day.
He said: "Some people are concerned that this may be the last big gathering, I think of its size it will be.
"Of course the regimental association has a number of branches scattered from Inverness to London, and those branches will continue to have reunions and gatherings on a smaller scale.
"But everybody is getting a little bit older, and gathering everybody together for one big event where we are all still fit enough to march and enjoy the occasion and treat it with the dignity that such an occasion is due, it's really going to be the last opportunity we have."
A plaque was also unveiled to commemorate Private George McIntosh, who was one of the regiment's VC recipients, and is buried in Buckie.
In November, BBC Scotland told how Peter and Elspeth Tocher from Aberdeen lost five sons who served with the Gordon Highlanders in World War One.
The father of the five men also enlisted as he was so distraught to be losing his sons one by one.
John Roberts, boss of Appliances Online, said it was "very unlikely" administrators Deloitte would be able to sell Comet as a going concern.
He said he has made an offer of "millions" of pounds for the chain's brand and website.
Deloitte said it was in talks with a small number of potential buyers.
It wants to sell the business as a whole, rather than split the physical stores from the online division.
Earlier, Deloitte announced plans to close another 125 stores, beginning next month, if a buyer could not be found. That would leave just 70 stores from the original 236.
Reports suggest more than 3,000 jobs could be affected by the latest round of store closures.
"Should any acceptable offers be received for stores, we will delay the closure process," said joint administrator Chris Farrington.
"Unfortunately, in the absence of a firm offer for the whole of the business, it has become necessary to begin making plans in case a sale is not concluded."
Reports earlier this week suggested that entrepreneur Clive Coombes was in discussions with Deloitte about making an offer for 180 Comet stores.
But Mr Roberts, founder and chief executive of Bolton-based Appliances Online, said 85% of Comet's white goods were delivered and yet it "no longer has any delivery network".
He said it was a business that relied on high volumes, and closing stores was undermining vital economies of scale. "Costs spiral when you close stores, and the business is massively cash hungry," he said.
"It's very, very unlikely that a white knight will emerge for these operational reasons... [so] I do not believe Comet will trade beyond Christmas."
If Deloitte cannot find an outright buyer, it would have to sell off the assets of the group - the leases on the physical stores, the stock and the brand and website.
Mr Roberts said he had made an offer for the stock as soon as the administrators were called in, which was rejected. He has also made an offer for the brand and website worth "millions".
He said his company was ready to take on the brand. "We either compete against ourselves or against somebody else, and I'd rather we compete against ourselves," he said.
He said he would reposition the Comet brand more towards customer service.
More than 1,000 employees, out of a total of 6,611, have been made redundant since Comet went into administration at the beginning of this month.
The chain has struggled to cope with the drop in consumer spending in the UK since 2008, and is the latest in a long line of High Street retailers that have gone out of business during the downturn.
The bank said it had reported a strong performance across all businesses.
Retail banking deposits rose 10%, new mortgage orders rose 37% and the company said it had kept the top spot for earnings from investment banking.
Mortgage lender Wells Fargo also released results, and it also reported record first quarter profits.
Wells, the fourth biggest bank in the US, saw net income rise by 22% to $5.2bn helped by cost cutting.
Wells Fargo chairman and chief executive, John Stumpf, said: "Loans and deposits demonstrated continued growth in a challenging economic environment."
JP Morgan said it had cut mortgage loan loss reserves by $650m and property asset reserves by $500m.
The bank was also boosted by a big drop in spending on litigation, which was $0.3bn in the first quarter of 2013 compared with $2.7bn a year earlier.
JP Morgan was struck by massive losses last year as a result of the "London Whale" trades, which cost the bank $6bn.
These came in the corporate and private equity division, which recorded a profit of $250m in the quarter compared with a loss of $1bn in the same period a year earlier.
Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive of the bank said the results were helped by an improving US economy.
"All our businesses had strong performance, and our client franchises did exceptionally well," he said.
"We are seeing positive signs that the economy is healthy and getting stronger. Housing prices continued to improve and new home purchases are also starting to come back.
"We also saw strong performance in our credit card portfolio, with net charge-offs remaining near historic lows, another sign that consumers are healthier and more confident."
However, he added that the growth in demand for loans had slowed during the first three months of the year and that small businesses remained "cautious" about the recovery and were nervous about possible changes to tax rates.
He said this was making some of them reluctant to invest.
Almost 10,000 people have been rescued trying to reach the Italian coast in recent days. Hundreds have died since the start of the year.
Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said: "We have not had an adequate response from the EU."
An EU spokeswoman said there was no "silver bullet" for the situation.
Last year a record 170,000 people fleeing poverty and conflict in Africa and the Middle East have made the perilous crossing to Italy.
More than 500 people have died in the first three month of 2015. Another 400 are feared to have died when a migrant boat capsized off Libya on Monday.
By midday on Thursday alone the Italian coastguard said it had rescued 893 migrants.
Numbers have increased in recent days with improving weather bringing conditions more conducive to making the crossing of at least 500km (310 miles).
But vessels provided by people smugglers are often underpowered and overcrowded.
Speaking to Corriere della Sera newspaper Mr Gentiloni said: "Ninety percent of the cost of the patrol and sea rescue operations are falling on our shoulders, and we have not had an adequate response from the EU."
"The double risk of an advance of the Islamic State group in Libya and the waves of migrants means we are in a race against the clock," he warned.
Mr Gentiloni said that the EU was only spending €3m (£2m) a month on its Operation Triton sea patrols.
Italy's Mare Nostrum rescue operation with a budget of two-thirds more began in 2013 as a short-term measure and was scrapped at the end of last year. There were concerns it was encouraging migrant crossings.
The European Commission's migration spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud told the BBC: "We don't have a silver bullet that will make it [the situation] go away and no amount of finger pointing will change that."
Also on Thursday, EU chief negotiator Ignacio Garcia Bercero told reporters: "The commission has neither the funds nor the political support to create a European system to carry out search and rescue operations."
But he said current discussions on EU immigration policy were an opportunity to consider increasing the resources of the border agency Frontex.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for the UN refugee agency also called on the EU "to step up a strong search and rescue mechanism".
Since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been without a stable government allowing trafficking networks to thrive.
The fridge-sized spacecraft, which landed on Comet 67P in November, last made contact on 9 July.
But efforts to contact it again since then have failed, scientists have said.
The first craft to perform a soft landing on a comet, Philae initially bounced, landing in a position too dark for sunlight to reach its solar panels.
It woke up in June as the comet moved closer to the sun. But the latest data suggests something, perhaps gas emission from the comet's surface, may have moved it again.
"The profile of how strongly the sun is falling on which panels has changed from June to July, and this does not seem to be explained by the course of the seasons on the comet alone," said Stephan Ulamec, Philae project manager at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
Philae's antenna may have been obstructed, and one of its transmitters appears to have stopped working, Rosetta team members said.
North London Coroner's Office confirmed the identity of the 43-year-old.
He was shot outside a flat on the sixth floor of Picardy House, a 12-storey former local authority building in Enfield, after making threats to kill, the Metropolitan Police said.
Mr Fox was pronounced dead at the scene. A non-police firearm was recovered.
Neighbours reported seeing about 20 police officers around the building at 23:50 BST on Sunday.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for investigation.
The 50-acre "Bridgehead" development in Hessle, East Yorkshire, will be built on the site of a golf course.
Once completed, the £100m complex will include 612,000 sq ft of offices, warehouse and manufacturing spaces.
Developers said a planned fall in the bridge tolls along with road improvements on the nearby A164 would attract investors to the area.
The business park is being developed by Hull-based firm Wykeland Group in partnership with The Humber Bridge Board and the Hessle Golf Course Company.
Stephen Hudson, development director of Wykeland Group, said Bridgehead could eventually generate more than 3,000 jobs with another 150 or more being created during its development, where most of the contracts for the construction of the site would be awarded to local companies.
He said: "We see Bridgehead as playing a key role in our region's economy especially as a support location to the growing renewable sector in the region. It will provide high-quality space to enable businesses to expand and at the same time attract major new investment from out of town.
"We are already talking to several potential users who recognise the value of this location".
Earlier this year developers received planning permission for the £100m business park and work on the construction of the site is expected to start in February.
The golf course was cleared in the 1970s to make way for the construction of the Humber Bridge.
It follows a judge's ruling that Det Supt Steve Fulcher, from Wiltshire Police, ignored arrest guidelines which means no-one has been able to be prosecuted over her murder.
Christopher Halliwell led him to Miss Godden's buried body after admitting Sian O'Callaghan's murder in 2011.
An IPCC investigation found a case to answer for gross misconduct.
If the charges are proven, he could be sacked.
Before Miss O'Callaghan's murder trial, a judge ruled police ignored arrest guidelines by taking Halliwell, 49, to a local beauty spot, Barbury Castle, rather than to a police station to be read his rights.
Mrs Justice Cox said Det Supt Fulcher's decision to ignore guidelines in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) were "significant and substantial".
She added the move was intended to create "circumstances deliberately designed to persuade the defendant to speak".
Former taxi driver Halliwell has never stood trial for the murder of Becky Godden, who was last seen alive by a police officer in Swindon in December 2002.
Miss Godden's parents have conflicting views about Det Supt Fulcher's decision not to follow the guidelines.
Her mother Karen Edwards said she sympathised with the detective.
She said: "I think he should be given a medal for what he's done - not go through all the traumas he's had.
"In my eyes, it seems to be if you're a criminal you're all right. For the general public - you get trodden on.
"And I'm not prepared to be trodden on and I won't let Steve Fulcher be trodden on."
However, Miss Godden's father John Godden said that if Mr Fulcher had done "an honest job, it would never have come to this".
Mr Godden added: "It's just shocking to go through 50 pages of mistakes - it's just shocking."
In October last year, Halliwell pleaded guilty to murdering 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years.
Det Supt Fulcher said at the time he had made the decision to not take Halliwell to a police station in a bid to "appeal to the killer's conscience".
He said last year: "He and I had another conversation together where he indicated that there was another body.
"He took me to a field at a crossroads.
"We were able to cross the wall of the field and he was able to pace out an exact spot where he said he had buried a young girl."
Three separate matters were investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The first followed a complaint from Miss Godden's father that Mr Fulcher's actions led to the charge against Halliwell for the unlawful killing of his daughter being dropped.
The second and third complaints concerned Mr Fulcher's release of information to the media and his contact with journalists in connection with the investigation, codenamed Operation Mayan.
IPCC deputy chairman Rachel Cerfontyne said: "This is a difficult time for all concerned with this case and especially the families and friends of Sian and Becky, especially after all they have already had to endure.
"This investigation has been a highly unusual one, as the majority of facts, in particular in relation to Mr Godden's complaint, are undisputed and already in the public domain.
"We will never know what may have happened if the PACE Codes had been followed."
She added that Mr Fulcher, despite no longer having responsibility for Operation Mayan and "against express orders" went ahead with meetings about the case with BBC and ITV journalists.
Ms Cerfontyne said: "This behaviour is even more extraordinary when set in the context that the trial judge had already considered whether force press conferences given by Det Supt Fulcher were prejudicial to the case against Halliwell."
A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: "We are taking this matter very seriously and we are currently in the process of carefully considering the recommendations made within the report and our subsequent response to the IPCC.
"We will be taking into account the needs of the families whilst deliberating the recommendations.
"Wiltshire Police are continuing to offer welfare support to Det Supt Fulcher throughout this ongoing process.
"It would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this stage."
The man was approached by the parking attendant outside St John's Primary School in Duddingston just after 0900 on Monday.
He is understood to have hit the attendant with his car before driving off.
The parking attendant was not injured but was said to have been left shaken.
The man is believed to be white, aged between 30 and 40, and was driving an estate-style car.
Sgt Mark Pickavance appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He said: "This was a distressing incident for the victim, which took place in the presence of a number of young children and their parents right outside a primary school.
"A number of parents witnessed the driver's actions and have come forward. Positive lines of inquiry are being investigated in order to identify the driver of the vehicle.
"Anyone who witnessed this incident, or who has information which can help with our inquiries and has not done so already, is asked to come forward."
The Labour politician was first elected to the seat in 1997 when she beat then Scottish Secretary Michael Forsyth.
Mrs McGuire said she felt she had "played her part" in working for the people of Stirling and that it was time for someone else to take on the role.
Labour leader Ed Miliband paid tribute to Mrs McGuire, and said parliament would be poorer without her.
After winning the seat in 1997, Mrs McGuire served as a Parliamentary Private Secretary to Mr Miliband and the late Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar.
Between 2005 and 2008 she became minister for disabled people in the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
However, following Labour's defeat at the 2010 election, she joined the DWP shadow team, shadowing the disabilities portfolio, before resigning from the front bench last year.
'Active MP'
Mrs McGuire said: "I have been pleased to represent the people of Stirling and its communities since the General Election in May 1997 and to continue that representation in the three subsequent elections in 2001, 2005 and 2010.
"However, I feel that I have played my part in working for the people of Stirling and that the time is right for another to take on that role."
Mrs McGuire said that she would continue to be a full-time and active MP until the next general election, adding: "When I hope to hand over to another Labour MP representing a constituency in a country which I hope remains part of the United Kingdom."
Mr Miliband said: "Anne is a dedicated representative of the people of Stirling, a passionate campaigner and, on a personal note, a good friend. Parliament will be poorer without her.
"Anne's career in the voluntary sector prior to her election to parliament ensured that she had the necessary qualities to hold the post of Minister for Disabled People, a post which saw her dedicate herself to help improve the lives of some of society's most disadvantaged."
He added: "I know that she will continue to a champion of social justice for many years to come."
Mrs McGuire's majority at the 2010 election was 8,354.
No-one would have imagined that the UK would have endured two terror attacks within two weeks, when Theresa May called the general election back in April.
After a second pause in campaigning on Sunday by most of the parties, as a mark of respect for victims of the London attack, the battle for votes commenced once more on Monday morning.
But can you imagine trying to sum up this election campaign as a piece of art?
If the answer is no, then spare a thought for Cornelia Parker - the renowned conceptual artist who has been given the task of doing precisely that.
She's been travelling to different parts of the UK throughout the campaign, hoping to get some inspiration to help her create a unique piece representing the election.
On Monday, she was on a one-day visit to Northern Ireland, going on a Belfast bus tour as well as seeing Stormont's Parliament Buildings.
"I spent two hours in a cab going round all the murals and getting a great history from the taxi driver," said Ms Parker.
She said she hopes that her trip to Belfast will help inform her final piece.
"I'm so worried about the UK falling apart, and just living in England rather than in the UK. This election is taking in so many dimensions," she said.
"I feel I am a concerned citizen, I'm increasingly politically minded and I do think people should vote rather than just abstain - more than ever, grassroots need to be heard."
Although Ms Parker joked that she can't sway politically left or right, she said she hoped her piece would encapsulate the electoral mood music.
"Somehow it's got to have all the multi-facets I've seen. What I'm trying to do is cover something that's more intimate and more about mood and anxiety," she said.
Ms Parker admitted she's under a bit of pressure, but hopes that the public will be pleased with her final piece.

There haven't been many Northern Ireland hustings in this election campaign - but on Monday, the candidates standing in North Belfast faced scrutiny on BBC's Talkback programme, which came live from the Crumlin Road Gaol.
This constituency will be closely watched on election night, with DUP incumbent Nigel Dodds facing a challenge for his seat in the form of Sinn Féin newcomer John Finucane.
While the show focused on terrorism and the parties' approaches to Brexit talks - it was an issue unrelated to Westminster that caused the biggest clash.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that does not allow same-sex marriage.
The DUP has used a veto known as the petition of concern - which requires the proposal to achieve a cross-community majority - to block marriage equality legislation at Stormont five times.
When asked by presenter William Crawley if the DUP would change its stance on the issue, Mr Dodds said they wouldn't take a decision until devolution was restored.
He added that the party alone does not have the magic number of MLAs needed - 30 - to enact a petition of concern and would need other parties to sign it too.
A heated exchange then ensued between Mr Dodds and the SDLP candidate Martin McAuley, which you can listen back to here.
You can also find a full list of candidates standing in all 18 constituencies in Northern Ireland in Thursday's general election here.
As we approach the final countdown to polling day, the first of Northern Ireland's leaders debates will be televised on Monday night.
With full campaigning back in force following Sunday's brief suspension, the UTV leaders' debate will still take place, having been pre-recorded on Monday afternoon.
It was confirmed last week that DUP leader Arlene Foster wouldn't be taking part, but the party will be represented by its Westminster leader, Nigel Dodds.
You can watch the UTV leaders' debate on UTV from 21:00.

"This is a blob, nothing too impressive. Oh dear, another blob, these are elliptical galaxies. Ooh look this is a merger..."
The Oxford astronomer Dr Chris Lintott flicks through the first of 70,000 images from UKIDSS, the UK Infrared Deep Sky Survey, that have been posted on the Galaxy Zoo website.
"This one's a disc galaxy, so this might be what the Milky Way looks like from far away," he adds.
The images, which have never been seen before, are part of the latest citizen science project run on the site.
All you have to do is look at the pictures and classify the galaxies according to their shapes and features - does it have arms or a central bulge? Is it elliptical? Does the galaxy have a dust lane across the centre?
The results should help astronomers to understand how galaxies form, but Galaxy Zoo is just the latest in a growing number of astronomical citizen science projects. The enthusiastic amateur can explore the surface of Mars or the Moon, study solar storms, and even hunt for planets orbiting distant stars.
"It's a really exciting time," says Dr Lintott, "citizen science is booming.
"That's because astronomers have painted themselves into a corner. They've got really good at collecting data but not so good at processing it. The human brain is still much better at sorting through these images and telling us what we need to know."
But it is not just astronomy, citizen science is flourishing in pretty much every field of science.
These days you can crunch data on cancer or monitor the spread of ash dieback while playing a simple computer game. You can map the human brain by colouring in neurones, track whales or watch wildlife in the Serengeti all from the comfort of your sofa.
The field of natural history has a proud tradition of amateur involvement, and perhaps it is not so surprising to find citizen science flourishing here.
According to the Joint Nature Conservation Committee there may be as many as 100,000 amateur naturalists actively collecting and contributing to citizen science projects in the UK - a volunteer effort worth £20m a year.
A significant number of those projects are run by the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum.
Members of the public are encouraged to drop in with specimens, and to access the museum's extensive collections and talk to research staff.
When I arrived to meet Dr John Tweddle a fungi workshop was in full swing.
"It's exciting actually. You never know who's going to come through the door and what they're going to come with," says Dr Tweddle.
"Anyone of any ability can come here to access the collections. Citizen science is really booming at the moment and the most effective projects are actually driving the research agenda. It's really useful science," he added.
Of course there is nothing new under the sun.
Although he would not have been familiar with the term, Charles Darwin built his theory of evolution by natural selection on the evidence supplied by hundreds of citizen scientists all over the world. Some 15,000 of the letters he sent or received survive at the Darwin Correspondence Project in the Cambridge University Library.
Associate director Alison Pearn says Darwin could never have compiled the astonishing wealth of evidence to support his theory without the enthusiastic support of amateur naturalists.
"Darwin corresponded with people from all walks of life, plant and animal breeders, gardeners and naturalists, but also diplomats and explorers. He couldn't have achieved what he did without their support. They were eager to contribute to the broadening of knowledge, so it's exactly the same as people do today in what we call citizen science," says Ms Pearn.
The computer has added enormously to the power that the amateur can bring to bear on a problem, but interestingly Dr Lintott argues, it is the human brain's unique ability to spot inconsistencies in the vast sets of data scientists have amassed that makes citizen science so useful.
"The best and most powerful information processor we have is still the one sitting between our ears. The human brain has a remarkable capacity for pattern recognition, but also for spotting the unusual, for being distracted by something that doesn't quite fit, and that's what we really need," he adds.
Ion Rusu, 25, had been detained after Mohini Arora, also 25, died in a crash close to junction 11a of the motorway.
Ms Arora's BMW was involved in a collision with a Peugeot 206 on the coastbound carriageway, on 13 November last year.
Mr Rusu, of College Avenue, in Gillingham, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and while over the prescribed alcohol limit.
He is due to appear before Folkestone magistrates in May.
A 26-year-old man, from Chatham, who was also arrested in connection with the incident will not face any charges, Kent Police said.
The talks, to be held at the Panmunjom truce village, will set the stage for high-level meetings which were agreed in principle in August.
That deal followed a stand-off in August that began with landmine explosions on the border and involved an exchange of artillery fire.
Seoul said it had sent requests for meetings before but had no response.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Seoul says it is unlikely that any major decision will emerge at the talks scheduled for 26 November, but that the agreement indicates a desire on both sides to reduce tensions.
North and South Korea are technically still at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.
In August, a landmine explosion at the heavily militarised border seriously injured two South Korean soldiers.
In response, South Korea resumed its abandoned practise of blasting propaganda over the border, and evacuated people from the border region. North Korea said it had put its military on a "war footing".
Tensions bubbled over in a brief exchange of fire at the heavily guarded border.
After crisis talks, South Korea agreed to turned off the loudspeakers while the North agreed to step down its military.
The agreement included a pledge to resume talks on improving ties, and to hold the first reunions for families separated during the Korean war in over a year.
The North also expressed regret over the mine explosions, though later clarified it was not accepting responsibility for the blast.
In the so-called Beige book, it said surveys from across the country suggested "overall economic activity expanded" from early April to late May.
"Outlooks among respondents were generally optimistic", the report said.
Growth in the US unexpectedly shrank in the first three months of the year.
The contraction was mainly attributed to a particularly harsh winter and most economists were expecting a pick-up.
However, the bad weather, combined with the strong dollar, prompted the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) think-tank to cut its growth forecast for the US earlier on Wednesday.
It now expects the US economy to grow just by 2% this year and 2.8% next year - down from its November forecast of 3.1% and 3% respectively.
The Federal Reserve said that manufacturing activity generally "held steady or increased" over the last two months, while most districts reported an uptick in retail spending, with retailers "expecting continued sales growth in 2015".
However it pointed out that the energy industry had been hurt by the drop in the price of oil, causing companies to cut back on staff and drilling activities.
The Beige book is a summary of comments received from businesses across the US.
The data helps inform Fed officials about when and if to raise interest rates.
Currently, the Fed's target interest rate is near zero, where it has been since 2008 when the central bank slashed rates in the wake of the financial crisis.
Now, there is much speculation about when chair Janet Yellen and the other board members will decide that the US economy is healthy enough to grow on its own without help from the Fed.
Most observers think this rate rise will not happen at the central bank's next meeting in mid-June, but will probably occur in the autumn. | Candles have been lit across Scotland for Holocaust Memorial Day, marking the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau 70 years ago.

Lucy Pygott, 17, from Hartley Wintney, and 16-year-old Stacey Burrows from Farnborough were out on a training run when they were hit by a Ford Focus.
A torch-lit procession, held exactly a week after the crash on Queen's Avenue, was followed by a two-minute silence.
Both girls were members of Aldershot, Farnham and District Athletic Club.
Lucy was this year's England Under-20 3,000m champion and European Youth Championships bronze medallist.
Stacey was the Hampshire Under-17 3,000m champion.
The club, which is based at the Aldershot Military Stadium, said the large number of flowers left at the crash scene have been moved to the stadium's car park as they were causing vehicles to stop on the road.
A serving soldier was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of careless driving while unfit through drink or drugs.
He has been bailed until February.
The Bank also kept the size of its bond-buying stimulus programme unchanged at £375bn.
The decision by the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) comes more than six years after the record low was introduced.
The half-dozen years of ultra-low interest rates have cut savings' returns, while mortgage borrowers have benefited from lower repayments.
Ultra-low inflation, which turned negative in April at -0.1%, has put on hold expectations about the Bank raising rates in 2015.
Last month, the Bank indicated in its quarterly inflation report that it was likely to raise the cost of borrowing in the middle of next year.
Meanwhile, recent ONS figures confirmed that UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed to 0.3% in the first quarter, which was its worst showing since the end of 2012.
The nine-strong MPC has voted unanimously to keep rates on hold in all its previous meetings so far this year.
Howard Archer, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "The Bank of England was always a nailed-on certainty to keep interest rates at 0.5%. Indeed, the odds currently strongly favour the Bank of England sitting tight on interest rates (and on the stock of quantitative easing) over the rest of 2015."
He added: "We expect the Bank of England to start edging interest rates up in the first half of 2016.
"Current robust consumer activity and signs that housing market activity is picking up suggest that an interest rate hike early on in 2016 is becoming increasingly likely, although the softer set of purchasing managers surveys for May fuel uncertainty over the economy's current underlying strength.
"Much will clearly depend on how economic growth, earnings and productivity develop over the coming months, as well as just how quickly inflation moves up later on this year."
And the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the MPC had made the "right decision" to keep interest rates and quantitative easing on hold.
BCC chief economist David Kern said: "Annual inflation has fallen marginally into negative territory over the past month, raising interest rates in real terms.
"And while inflation will edge up later on this year, it will stay below the Bank of England's 2% target for the next 12 to 18 months, reinforcing the case for maintaining interest rates for the time being."
His single-person all-terrain vehicle broke down and he became disorientated in whiteout conditions while working in a remote location on the Gaick Estate.
The gamekeeper stayed with his vehicle and used survival equipment he had been given by his employers.
Searchers found him early on Thursday morning.
He was located near the mountain Carn an Fhidhleir, near Glen Feshie.
An initial search on Wednesday began at 15:00 and at one point the searchers believe they came within a few hundred metres of where the man was sheltering.
The search was suspended at 03:30 on Thursday, before it was resumed at first light.
Conditions were too bad during the night for a coastguard helicopter to play a part in the search, but the aircraft and crew did manage to airlift searchers into the area and was involved again when the search was restarted.
About 40 people took part in the overall search which involved Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team supported by members of Lossiemouth-based RAF Mountain Rescue Team, Tayside Mountain Rescue Team and workers from Glen Feshie Estate.
Cairngorm MRT leader Willie Anderson said "This was a serious incident in very poor weather which took place on one of the remotest 3,000ft height mountains in our area.
"Although we had a number of leads, we were only able to narrow the search area down to an area of approximately 200 square kilometres and this area had to be covered in the dark, with blizzard conditions and a significant avalanche danger."
He added: " I am delighted with the outcome as we were really concerned about the weather and location. A tremendous effort by all involved."
Moses Pande, of Prinknash Road, Manchester, admitted six counts of sexual abuse at an earlier hearing at Manchester Crown Court.
The 23-year-old abused his victim between September 2014 and March this year, the court heard.
The girl was praised by police for the "bravery" she had shown in talking to officers about her ordeal.
Det Con Joanna Gordon, of Greater Manchester Police's Child Protection Unit, said she had been "robbed of her childhood and has had to go through the trauma of giving evidence".
She added: "The victim was terrified and I commend her bravery in speaking to us about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Pande."
The 21-year-old has been awarded an MBE for services to diving, along with his diving partner Chris Mears.
Laugher won gold in the men's synchronised 3m springboard with Mears, six days before taking silver in the individual category in Rio.
Paralympic rower Laurence Whiteley and classical singer Iestyn Davies are also honoured with MBEs.
Whiteley is to receive the accolade for services to rowing after winning gold in the mixed trunk and arm double sculls with Lauren Rowles.
The 25-year-old from Northallerton waited two years for a suitable rowing partner to come along, and the pair won silver in their first major competition together at the 2015 World Championships.
Countertenor Davies, from York, is appointed for services to music.
He has sung for a number of opera companies including the English National, Welsh National and New York City before his time as a Cambridge chorister under the music director George Guest.
Which makes the prospect of his having to answer questions from members of Parliament over his running of the BHS department store interesting, to say the least.
To give you a taster of what is to come: Sir Philip has already called on Labour MP Frank Field to resign as chair of one of the two committees due to question him.
Mr Field refused and told the Financial Times that if Sir Philip offers to help out BHS pensioners with anything less than £600m, MPs will simply "laugh at him".
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has said Sir Philip should be stripped of his knighthood if he doesn't turn up.
Sir Philip has said he will attend "to tell my side of the very sad BHS story and I will do my best to answer all the questions put to me in an honest and open way."
All of which suggests the encounter could be lively.
But let us step back for a moment and look at why Sir Philip is to appear in the Wilson Room of the House of Commons on Wednesday morning.
A year ago, he sold the 88-year-old BHS chain to Retail Acquisitions for £1.
Last month, BHS went into administration with a £571m black hole in its pension fund. No buyer for the company has been found and it is to be wound down.
All this might just be another cautionary tale of the High Street: an old established name, unable to move with the times, folds under the twin pressures of ruthless competition and a moribund economic recovery. After all, clothes retailer Austin Reed met a similar fate in the same month.
But BHS is different. As is Sir Philip Green.
In recent weeks, details of Sir Philip's treatment of BHS and his relationship with Retail Acquisitions have come to light and it is these that MPs will want explained on Wednesday.
To start with, there is the money that Sir Philip took out of BHS during 15 years of ownership, thought to be about £600m, in dividends, rental payments and interest on loans to other parts of the Arcadia Group, owned by his wife Tina.
There is also the question of how he allowed such a large pension deficit to arise without taking some sort of corrective action. One attempt to restructure the scheme had been unexpectedly halted in 2014.
And most obviously, why did Sir Philip sell BHS to Retail Acquisitions, owned by Dominic Chappell, a former bankrupt and racing driver with no retail experience?
Former City minister Lord Myners described the deal as "like giving the keys of your car to a five-year-old".
The relationship with Mr Chappell is particularly intriguing. Some Green-watchers have suggested Sir Philip was duped by him.
Others beg to differ. Sir Philip may be a difficult man, they say, but not one who is easily duped.
Despite being born into a well-to-do family in south London, he prides himself on having worked his way to the top, where he became known as the "King of the High Street," controlling Arcadia, which includes Top Shop, Wallis, Evans and Burton.
He started very much at the bottom. At 15, he began working on the forecourt of the petrol station that his mother managed.
He went on to learn business basics as an apprentice in a shoe warehouse, and at 23, he set up his own business importing and selling jeans.
Stuart Lansley, the author of an unauthorised biography of Sir Philip, described those early days for Radio 4's Profile programme.
"He had a very mixed track record of starting up companies, and closing them down, working with other people, falling out with people.
"He travelled a lot, learning a lot about the supply chain, who the cheaper suppliers were and so on - but he certainly wasn't a household name."
These days, he is a man who enjoys the trappings of his success. The suspicion that he prospered to the detriment of BHS's long-term health will fire much of Wednesday's interrogation.
Sir Philip's personal fortune is estimated at somewhere between £3bn and £4bn.
He commutes into London from Monaco in a private jet, has a super-yacht called Lionheart under construction, and is famous for throwing extravagant parties for friends and family in exotic places, with entertainment from the likes of Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and George Michael.

He has also forged a business partnership with supermodel Kate Moss, whose line of clothes helped raise Topshop's profile in the world of high fashion.
But a long time before the BHS debacle, Sir Philip was attracting criticism for his tax affairs.
In 2005, Arcadia paid a £1.2bn dividend to its owner - Sir Philip's wife, Tina. Since she is a resident of Monaco, she paid no tax in the UK.
In 2010, activists demonstrated outside the flagship Topshop and BHS stores in central London after Sir Philip was chosen by Prime Minister David Cameron to conduct a government efficiency review.
They thought his tax arrangements made him the wrong choice. Despite their anger, however, Arcadia has still paid significant sums in corporation tax.
Sir Philip Green is not without his admirers, even among those whose relationships with him have been distinctly rocky.
His most ambitious move came in 2004, when he put together £10bn ($16.1bn), much of it from investment banks, to make an offer for Marks and Spencer.
Sir Stuart Rose - then his rival and at the helm of Marks at the time - was impressed.
"Philip is not only a first-class retailer, he is absolutely pre-eminent in his generation in terms of his financial nous and ability," Sir Stuart told Profile.
"If I wanted to be slightly uncharitable, I could say that he came to the market to raise a very, very large sum of money at a time when money was cheap and freely available - but only Philip could have put that together. It was a pretty amazing achievement."
As for his interpersonal skills - they are another matter, and his fuse is famously short.
Sir Stuart Rose has first-hand experience of this, with Sir Philip reportedly grabbing the then Marks and Spencer boss by the lapels during his second unsuccessful takeover bid in 2004.
"There was a fairly physical occasion one morning, yes. I think tension had got quite high during the bid and Philip got upset about something," said Sir Stuart.
"He wasn't above ringing me up during the height of the bid and singing 'if I were a rich man' down the telephone to me, trying to point out the error of my ways [for not selling]... that I would make more money.
"He used to say, 'The only jet you know is Easyjet.'"
MPs in the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee are unlikely to be impressed by such repartee, even from the "King of the High Street".
After all, they interrogated another, more famous king in the same building just 400 years ago.
And then they chopped his head off.

The crude production posted on YouTube has sparked violent protests and riots across the Muslim world for its depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.
It is unclear who made the film, but it has been linked to an Egyptian Coptic Christian living in the United States.
An arrest warrant has also been issued for US Christian pastor Terry Jones.
One woman and seven men, including Mr Jones, are accused of "insulting the Islamic religion, insulting the Prophet and inciting sectarian strife", according to the prosecutor's office.
It said international police agency, Interpol, would be notified of the warrants.
However, Interpol later denied it had received a request and noted that its constitution forbade it from "undertaking any matter of a predominantly political, military, religious or racial nature".
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a convicted fraudster living in California who has already been questioned by police there, is among those facing charges, the prosecutors office said.
The film, a crudely-made portrayal of the life of the Prophet Muhammad ignited angry protests last week, mostly outside US and other Western diplomatic offices.
The unrest in Cairo has been among the most violent. Demonstrators there managed to scale the US embassy, tear down the US flag and replace it with an Islamist one.
Mystery has shrouded the individuals behind the film, entitled Innocence of Muslims.
Florida-based Mr Jones is said to have promoted the film.
He sparked protests two years ago when he pledged to organise a mass burning of copies of the Koran in Florida.
In a separate development, a Copt who lives in central Egypt was on Tuesday sentenced to six years in prison after being convicted by a misdemeanour court of blasphemy, insulting the Prophet Muhammad and insulting President Mohammed Mursi.
Cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were allegedly published on his Facebook page. The man, who is a teacher, denied the charge.
In the final three months of 2014, £16bn of assets flowed out, while it attracted £11.3bn of new business.
Its figures were helped by foreign exchange movements and asset price performance.
That left it at the end of December with £323.3bn under management, down by £1.1bn on the end of September.
Martin Gilbert, chief executive of the Aberdeen-based firm, said: "The recent quarter can be considered in two parts. October and November were encouraging with overall flows in line with the previous quarter and equity flows positive.
"However, December was a reminder that investor sentiment remains fragile.
"Despite this and ongoing concerns about Europe and elsewhere, Aberdeen is in good shape. Importantly we have a strong balance sheet, a global client base and a wide range of capabilities to meet the needs of investors"
'Continued volatility'
With its trading update, the asset management giant said continued volatility was expected.
The company expanded its portfolio rapidly last year, as it took over Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP) from Lloyds Banking Group.
The market statement said the integration of SWIP was on track, the more complex parts of it should be completed by the end of this year, and savings from merging the two companies were greater than expected.
The Aberdeen Asset Management share price fell by more than 3% in the wake of the market update.
Meanwhile, it announced the appointment of Val Rahmani as a director.
She was previously chief executive of Damballa, a US software security firm, and an executive at IBM.
Farel Bradbury, a design engineer from Ross-on-Wye, founded the small but lively Don't Know Campaign after a conversation with a friend in which they discovered neither of them had read the Treaty of Rome, which paved the way for the European Economic Community (EEC).
He decided to print up a leaflet which asked signatories to confirm they had not read the Treaty of Rome and that they paid taxes to government for these matters to be decided on their behalf.
The campaign was run by Mr Bradbury and six other intrepid volunteers, who printed pamphlets and posters bearing slogans such as "pass the buck back to Westminster - where it belongs".
Their request for official funding like that allocated to the leave and remain campaigns went unanswered - but they were not alone in their assessment of the problem.
As the EEC bill passed through Parliament, the Conservative MP Michael Latham led an attempt to amend the EEC bill by proposing there should be squares on the ballot paper for voters to mark either "don't know" or "leave it to Parliament".
Another Conservative, Janet Fookes, summarised the problem: "On the doorsteps many people said to me 'First we listen to one side and it seems convincing, then we listen to the other and that seems equally convincing. In the end we are more confused than we were when we began'."
Labour's Willie Hamilton agreed: "People should have the right to say 'We prefer to leave this issue to the judgment of those whom we elected last October.' That is what we are elected for."
A letter to The Times published in January 1975 from a W. D. Bissett called for a "Don't Know" option, saying: "There is something unpleasant and cowardly about shuffling the responsibility for success on the ordinary citizen."
"The current debate has become highly emotional and no one is sufficiently well-informed to decide rationally how to vote," two academics from City University wrote to The Times shortly before the referendum took place.
The Don't Knows insisted their position was not based on apathy - they advised voters to spoil their ballots or abstain, and later claimed that the 64% turnout to decide meant that they had come a "convincing second" after the Yes vote.
Dr Robert Saunders, a historian at Queen Mary University of London, says that although the group was "pretty small" it managed to "strike a chord with a lot of people who had doubts about holding a referendum in the first place".
"Britain had never had a referendum before, and there were associations with Napoleon, and with Mussolini and Hitler."
In March 1975 Margaret Thatcher tapped into this suspicion that the device was "un-British" when she called referendums "a splendid weapon for demagogues and dictators" (quoting Roy Jenkins, who was in turn quoting Clement Attlee).
But this resistance was not only felt on patriotic grounds.
Lindsay Aqui, a PhD candidate at Queen Mary, points out that in 1975 the Cabinet Office recorded figures showing 75% of people wanted more information on EEC membership.
"Many people were unclear about what was at stake," she says, "and some even thought the referendum was on joining the EEC."
The government set up an Information Unit with a helpline to answer people's questions.
It was inundated with calls ranging from the serious ("is it more expensive to come out or stay in?") to the bizarre ("will we still be able to buy King Edward potatoes if we stay in?").
There are parallels with the current referendum, she argues, in that some voters feel they are not getting the details they need to make an informed choice.
Dr Saunders agrees, but points out there are important differences between then and now.
"For one thing, we are a lot more accustomed to referendums as a process - they've been used on devolution questions, the voting system and Scottish independence.
"Secondly - for all the talk of 'Project Fear', in 1975 the referendum was held against the backdrop of inflation and the three-day week, and there was a sense that if we made the 'wrong' decision the sky really would fall in."
He adds that despite the decline of trust in public officials since the 1970s, "there is a lot of information out there on the current referendum - fact-checking websites, blogs and short films".
On that note, he says he wouldn't advocate a revival of the Don't Know Campaign.
"As voters, we can take matters into our own hands. 'Don't know' can become 'should find out'."
It will be Gloucester's fourth groundshare since a 2007 flood forced them out of Meadow Park, their home stadium since 1986.
The deal with Evesham is for one year, with the option for a second season.
The Tigers have previously shared with Cheltenham Town, Forest Green Rovers and Cirencester Town.
"We fully appreciate that this is a longer distance for fans to travel, but must stress that there are no options closer to home with the required grading," a club statement said.
"Even taking voluntary relegation (which we do not believe is in the best interests of the club) would not open other suitably graded options within the city.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We will of course look at ways to help fans with transport to and from games.
"With regards to the building of our new ground we are seeking details of timelines from our owner, and will look to share that as soon as we can.
"We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Cheltenham Town for their continued help over the seasons we have ground-shared at Whaddon Road."
In September, planning permission was approved to permit initial work on building a new ground for the club.
Gloucester are 12th the league table, 11 points outside the play-off places and 11 points above the relegation zone.

The Portuguese forward missed training on Monday after picking up a minor injury in Saturday's La Liga win at Osasuna.
However, Wales international Gareth Bale (ankle) will not play.
Striker Arkadiusz Milik is fit for Napoli.
The Poland international has recovered from a cruciate ligament injury and has been included in the Serie A side's squad. Defender Lorenzo Tonelli, who has not played since 21 January, has also travelled.
Holders Real Madrid are aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for a seventh successive year.
Napoli, meanwhile, are only in the last 16 for the second time but Real coach Zinedine Zidane is not taking anything for granted against the Italians.
"You can't win a knockout tie in one match," he said. "We're going step by step and game by game.
"Everyone wants to win the Champions League but it's a long, hard road we're on.
"Napoli are a good attacking side and they play with a lot of intensity and speed. They're small, tricky players with good technique.
"We have the tools to do them harm and we want to do that."
La Liga leaders Real have lost just two games all season - against Sevilla in the league on 15 January and against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey three days later.
Napoli, meanwhile, go into the game in impressive form, having not lost any of their 18 games since October.
"With the awareness that we are going to play an away match against the champions of the world and a really strong side, we will be a bit worried," said Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri.
"Sometimes it's a positive feeling because it gives you a boost. On the other hand if you don't have courage to face your opponent with determination there is no need to play."
When Jean-Marie Le Pen confirmed on Monday morning that he was withdrawing his candidacy for December's regional elections, he gave the most concrete sign yet of his waning influence in the party he founded.
Since she took over four years ago, his daughter Marine Le Pen has tried to move the National Front party away from the image it had under its founder - shedding its racist undertones and broadening its appeal. There are many who say these new political garments are skin-deep, but nevertheless Marine has managed to win control of a dozen towns and put two MPs in parliament.
Her calculation last week in blocking her father's candidacy was clear - accusations of anti-Semitism are not good for the party's prospects at the regional elections in December nor the presidential race in two-and-a-half years' time. Mr Le Pen's comments about the Holocaust, his daughter said, were "political suicide".
Until now, Ms Le Pen has publicly smoothed over the growing tensions with her father over their social values and their views on the party's image. But recently those divisions became too great to ignore and now Ms Le Pen is faced with a dilemma over what to do with her intransigent and openly rebellious father.
Having blocked his candidacy, senior party figures are due to meet in the coming days to debate whether to evict him - a big step when he's the party's honorary president.
But Mr Le Pen's influence inside the party machine has long been on the wane. Decisions on its direction and personnel are made without him, and a poll this month by Odoxa suggested that almost 90% of Front National supporters believe it's time for him to withdraw completely from political life.
The poll also suggests that the party image would be vastly improved if he were to be evicted. But even if he is, it may not mean the end of his influence.
The youngest member of the Le Pen political dynasty, 25-year-old Marion Marechal-Le Pen, is already set to stand in the December elections in her grandfather's place. She's already an MP and is said to be so close to Mr Le Pen that her detractors have nicknamed her "Marionette" - or "Puppet".
And whatever his future role in the National Front might be, Jean-Marie Le Pen has never been one for keeping his views to himself.
Queen Street Mill Museum in Burnley is among five museums owned by Lancashire County Council that will shut although they will open for school visits.
Along with Helmshore Mills Museum, which will also close, the Burnley museum is the last working example of Lancashire cotton spinning and weaving.
The council plans to save £65m by 2018.
Councillor Marcus Johnstone, cabinet member for environment, planning and cultural services, said: "Closing museums is the last thing we want to do but the scale of the county council's financial challenge means we have to take these difficult decisions in order to safeguard services for the most vulnerable people in our communities."
Other museums that will close include the Museum of Lancashire in Preston, Fleetwood's Maritime Museum and Judges' Lodgings in Lancaster.
Lancashire County Council originally intended to close the five museums in the spring but this was postponed to allow talks with groups interested in running them.
A council spokesman said the discussions were still continuing.
More than 10,000 people signed a petition to save the museums at Queen Street and Helmshore Mills, saying they were "an absolute cornerstone of Lancashire's rich industrial heritage" when the county played a key part in Britain's Industrial Revolution.
The 25-year-old world number 18 is on nine under after a four-under round of 66, while Fowler made two birdies in the last three holes in a 65 for a 13-under total in Florida.
The American has not won on the PGA Tour since the Deutsche Bank Championship in September 2015.
Germany's Martin Kaymer is in a group two behind Hatton.
It is the third straight week that someone has built a big lead on the PGA Tour after 54 holes. Jordan Spieth was six shots clear at Pebble Beach, while Dustin Johnson was up by five shots at Riviera, both going on to win.
Buckinghamshire's Hatton climbed into the world's top 20 with a tie for third at the Dubai Desert Classic.

A draft resolution, submitted by Jordan to the UN Security Council, also calls for a peace accord within a year.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that without Israel's consent, nothing would change.
Jordan has indicated it will not seek a quick vote, opening the way for further discussion.
The US - which has vetoed previous resolutions it considers hostile to its ally Israel - said on Thursday it would not support the move.
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said they would not support any action that would prejudge the outcome of negotiations.
"We have seen the draft, it is not something we would support and we think others feel the same and are calling for further consultations," she said.
Mr Lieberman said the draft resolution would only deepen the conflict.
"Certainly this will not hasten an agreement because without Israel's consent, nothing will change," he said.
"It would be better if the Security Council dealt with matters truly important to the citizens of the world, such as the murderous attacks this week in Australia and Pakistan... and not waste time on the Palestinians' gimmicks."
Despite Israel's objections, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he would pursue consultations "with brothers and friends" at the UN.
The draft text says a negotiated solution should be based on several parameters including the boundary between Israel and the West Bank that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, security agreements and "Jerusalem as the shared capital of the two states".
It urges both parties "to abstain from any unilateral and illegal actions, including settlement activities, that could undermine the viability of a two-state solution".
Another draft resolution, being put together by France, is expected to call for a return to talks on a final treaty with the aim of achieving a two-state solution to the conflict within two years.
It does not mention an Israeli withdrawal, but does lay out some of the parameters of a permanent peace deal.
Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians brokered by the US collapsed in April.
The choice of Mr Shatir, the group's financier, reverses a pledge made earlier by the group's leaders not to contest the election.
It will raise concerns among liberals and the military that the Brotherhood could become too powerful.
Correspondents say its ties with the ruling council have steadily worsened.
There had been much speculation about whether it would opt to field a candidate following the party's legislative election success in November.
The movement's political arm then won around a third of the vote, and nearly half the seats in the first parliamentary election since the fall of Hosni Mubarak last year.
Mahmoud Hussein, the group's deputy leader, said it had decided to field a candidate following "attempts to abort the revolution". Only a few days remain before the close of nominations.
Challenge
The announcement ends months of speculation about who the Muslim Brotherhood would throw its weight behind, says the BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo.
By Yolande KnellBBC News, Cairo
Before Egypt's uprising, Khairat al-Shatir spent 12 years behind bars because of his association with the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet he managed to maintain a multimillion-dollar business empire, care for his 10 children and uphold his commitment to political Islam.
Since he was released from jail last year, the influence of Mr Shatir has increased so that many suggest he is more powerful than the Brotherhood's general guide.
As deputy leader, the 62-year-old took key strategic decisions concerning the formation of a political party and is said to have led negotiations with the ruling military. He has been the public face of the Brotherhood to visiting foreign officials and investors.
While Mr Shatir has been at pains to express his group's commitment to democracy, free markets and minority rights, he has also said that the recent elections show Egyptians' commitment to an Islamic state.
Mr Shatir, a wealthy businessman, has long been a senior member of the Islamist group and its main financier.
He spent 12 years in prison because of his connection with the Brotherhood, which was previously banned. He was released only after last year's uprising.
In an official statement, the Muslim Brotherhood said it had reversed its decision not to contest the presidency to overcome risks to Egypt's revolution and the transfer from military to civilian rule.
The Brotherhood already dominates Egypt's newly elected parliament and the panel set up to draft the new constitution.
But it complains that its attempts to form a new cabinet have been blocked and there have been threats to dissolve parliament.
The ruling military council has been in conflict with the Brotherhood over the appointment of cabinet ministers.
The Brotherhood argues presidential candidates from the ousted government could present a further challenge.
Sakena Yacoobi who has worked to rebuild education from the disruption of war, received the prize in the Gulf state of Qatar.
Her organisation, Afghan Institute of Learning, supported underground schools when the Taliban were in power.
Dr Yacoobi said the prize came at a time when people in Afghanistan were "suffering and feel hopeless".
Receiving the $500,000 prize (£324,000), Dr Yacoobi said: "It is particularly meaningful because this is such a crucial time in Afghanistan.
"My people live in terror and poverty."
The award was made by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, chair of the Qatar Foundation, at the beginning of the annual WISE international education conference.
She said that Dr Yacoobi had been a "tireless advocate for the right to education" despite the "most adverse conditions of war and occupation".
"From refugee camps to secret night schools, and often at great personal risk, she established a network of organisations that provide general education as well as public health education."
The conference was also addressed by US First Lady Michelle Obama, who called for greater efforts to promote girls' right to education, and for equal respect.
"Solving our girls' education is definitely about resources but it is also about attitudes and beliefs," she said.
"It's about whether parents think their daughters are as worthy of an education as their sons. It's about whether our societies cling to outdated laws and traditions that oppress and exclude women.''
"I knew it would be controversial, but I didn't know it would necessarily get me in hot water," he told the BBC.
Mr Longworth was suspended after saying the UK's long-term prospects could be "brighter" outside the European Union.
He said the decision to step down was his and he made the move so he could speak out freely.
Mr Longworth dismissed claims there was political pressure on him to leave, or pressure on the BCC to force him out.
"I don't regret making those comments at all," he told the BBC's World At One programme.
"I made it very clear when I delivered my speech [on Thursday] that there were additional comments that were of a particular and personal nature
"What I was trying to do was inform the debate," he said.
He had been director-general of the British Chamber of Commerce for five years.
"I decided to resign in order in order to give me the freedom to speak out on the referendum," he said.
"It became clear to me that it was incompatible in my role that I was able to speak out. "
The BCC said Mr Longworth had accepted his support for leaving the EU was "likely to create confusion".
He revealed his support for "Brexit" at the BCC annual conference on Thursday.
Nora Senior, president of the British Chamber of Commerce, told the BBC that his comments left the organisation with no option, as he had breached the BCC's official position of neutrality on the referendum.
And she dismissed suggestions that the decision was influenced by Downing Street.
"Absolutely not. The decision for John to stand down was taken by John himself and the board."
She said the BCC was a membership organisation with diverse views and their decision was to maintain a neutral stance on the referendum. Mr Longworth's comments in his keynote speech at the conference had gone against that.
She stressed that his resignation was "agreed mutually between Mr Longworth and the BCC Board, and there were no external factors involved".
At the conference, Mr Longworth said the EU referendum was a choice between the "devil and the deep blue sea".
He added that voters faced "undoubtedly a tough choice".
He said the very best place for the UK to be was in a reformed EU, but added: "I have come to the conclusion that the EU is incapable of meaningful reform, at least in the foreseeable future."

His remarks and his subsequent suspension prompted a political outcry, with London mayor Boris Johnson and former defence secretary Liam Fox, both prominent campaigners for the UK to leave the EU, weighing in on his behalf.
Mr Johnson called Mr Longworth's treatment "scandalous", while Mr Fox said ministers should clarify "if they were involved in any way in putting pressure on" the BCC to suspend Mr Longworth.
British voters will be asked on 23 June whether the UK should remain a member of the EU.
The BCC, which represents thousands of large, medium and small businesses, has said it will not campaign for either side in the referendum as its membership is split.
Last month, an online poll of its members found 59.5% of more than 2,000 who responded preferred to remain in the EU and 30% said they would vote to leave.
Jimmy Morales got more than double the votes of ex-first lady Sandra Torres, who is seen by many as part of the country's unpopular political elite.
Mr Morales campaigned on a promise to fight graft following the resignation and arrest on corruption charges of President Otto Perez Molina last month.
Ms Torres admitted defeat once the margin of Mr Morales' win was clear.
Mr Morales received 67.4% of the vote and Ms Torres 32.6%.
Mr Morales, 46, described his victory as a "brave vote, a vote full of hope, a vote which wants to put an end to corruption".
He also described himself as "a common man", adding: "I don't have super powers nor magic and I've never said I do, but my heart swells with love for this nation and together we're going to fight for her."
Mr Morales is a well-known comedian, who for 14 years starred in a popular TV comedy alongside his brother, Sammy Morales.
In the sketches, which are often lewd and coarse, he played everything from a hapless soldier to a country bumpkin.
For one character, he donned blackface and wore a prosthetic behind, triggering accusations of racism.
Women's and gay rights groups have also accused him of sexism and homophobia.
As his campaign manifesto was only six pages long, little is known about Mr Morales' policies, apart from favouring low taxes and limited government.
He has been criticised for some of his more far-fetched policies which include the tagging of teachers with a GPS device to ensure they attend classes and giving each Guatemalan child a smartphone.
Many voters said they were drawn to Mr Morales because he represented a fresh start and promised to fight against graft.
The campaign was conducted against the backdrop of a widening corruption scandal which led to the resignations of the vice-president and the president.
Both deny involvement in a scheme which saw business people pay bribes to evade customs charges.
Ms Torres, who ran government social programmes when her ex-husband Alvaro Colom was president between 2008 and 2012, failed to inspire the confidence of voters, who saw her as too closely linked to Guatemala's old political elite.
"We were tired of the same faces of people who get rich off our money," a supporter of Mr Morales told Reuters news agency.
Mr Morales now faces a difficult task as his National Convergence Front (FCN) will have just 11 out of 158 seats in the next Congress.

Oldham played the second half a man down after defender Anthony Gerrard was dismissed for an incident in the tunnel but they defended superbly and Clarke clinched the points with a far-post header in injury time.
Oldham went close after only 15 seconds when Ryan McLaughlin fired just wide from 20 yards and the visitors got into some promising positions before Chesterfield had the best chance in the 29th minute.
New signing from Manchester United, Sadiq El Fitouri. whipped a low cross in from the right which evaded three Oldham defenders but Dan Jones mis-kicked at the back post.
Chesterfield were given an advantage at the end of the first half when Gerrard, who had already been booked, was shown a second yellow card as the players were going down the tunnel.
That forced Oldham to get men behind the ball and Chesterfield struggled to break them down despite the extra man, and the visitors almost snatched a goal on the break when Aaron Amadi Holloway nearly went clear.
But Oldham stunned Chesterfield in the first minute of stoppage time when Clarke capped a superb display with a header inside Ryan Fulton's left post.

Its own figures showed that, in 2015, Apple released data on users' devices to US authorities 80% of the time, compared to 55% when it came to the UK.
That compared to a global average of nearly 60%, Apple's data showed.
A security expert said it was "deeply frustrating" for law enforcement agencies.
Apple released its latest transparency report on Monday to complement previous releases going back as far as 2013.
It published the numbers of device requests it received - those from law enforcement for contact information and other data.
Separately, it released data on account requests - those from government agencies for account details, including iTunes and iCloud account information.
The BBC's analysis has revealed that, similar to in 2015, the UK was below the global average and the US above it for both types of request in each of the previous years for which there were comparable data.
Among the five countries that regularly submitted a large number of device requests - more than 2,000 per year - the US was the only country to consistently receive Apple customer information a greater-than-average proportion of the time. Singapore was also below the average in each of the three years.
Apple's figures showed that, on average, it was unable to release data for 33% of account requests from across the world in 2015. In the US, the rate was 18% and, in the UK, 40%. A similar picture emerged in 2014. A comparison of account requests in 2013 was not possible because Apple did not release exact figures for the US for that year.
The US and the UK were the only countries to make more than 300 account requests per year.
The consistently lower proportion of successful requests from the UK could be because Britain is seen as "less protective of personal privacy" than the US, said Prof Alan Woodward of the University of Surrey.
The security expert, who advises Europol and who has also advised GCHQ in the past, said: "Whatever the reason, it is a deeply frustrating situation for law enforcement agencies."
Despite Apple's presence in many countries outside the US, he added that it may also feel less duty bound to comply with requests from foreign governments.
According to Apple's report, the majority of device requests were in cases of lost or stolen phones and the BBC understands that some of the differences between countries were dependent on the differing approaches of national police forces towards phone theft.
The BBC also understands that some of the unsuccessful account requests were down to the company not holding any information, rather than resisting law enforcement efforts.
The firm declined to comment when contacted by the BBC.
On Monday, Blackberry's chief executive John Chen said the firm would comply with law enforcement but would prevent "government abuse of invading citizen's privacy".
He spoke in response to reports that Canadian police could intercept and read encrypted messages sent using Blackberry phones. Mr Chen said the firm "stood by [its] lawful access principles".
The move is ahead of a proposed member's bill in the Scottish Parliament which aims to give children equal protection from assault.
It has been put forward by Highlands and Islands Green MSP John Finnie.
It is backed by a number of children's charities, as well as the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents.
The consultation will run until 4 August.
Mr Finnie said: "Scotland cannot be thought of as the best place in the world for children to grow up while our law gives children less protection from assault than anybody else in society.
"There is clear evidence that the use of physical punishment is detrimental to children's long-term health and wellbeing.
"Parents know how important it is to build strong, healthy relationships with their children. We can see from both international evidence and what families here tell us that physical punishment can prevent this.
"It makes a child's behaviour worse and can lead to increased conflict between children and parents."
The MSP added that giving children full protection against assault would send a "clear message" and would underpin Scotland's efforts to reduce violence across the whole of society.
In April, Scotland's outgoing children's commissioner, Tam Baillie, renewed his call for a ban on smacking children.
Mr Baillie said the UK was one of only five European countries which did not fully protect children from physical punishment.
He also claimed that even children in Zimbabwe were better protected than those in Scotland.
Under Scottish law, parents can claim a defence of "justifiable assault" when punishing their child.
But section 51 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 prohibits the use of an "implement" in the punishment.
It also bans parents from shaking their child or striking them on their head.
The United Nations urged the UK in 2015 to introduce laws to ban smacking in the home.
A group of academics have also called for a ban in Scotland after finding "compelling" evidence that the practice creates a cycle of violence that carries on into adulthood.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "The Scottish government does not support physical punishment of children. We have no plans to introduce legislation in the area, but we will consider carefully the member's bill that we understand John Finnie intends to introduce.
"We continue to support positive parenting and we recognise that physical punishment can set children the wrong example and is not an effective way to teach children discipline."
She said "the new certainties are gone and a new political era is opening up in Irish politics".
Mrs O'Neill made the comments at the party's manifesto launch in Dungannon, County Tyrone.
Sinn Féin is hoping to capitalise on its impressive showing at the assembly election in March.
The party came within one seat of matching the Democratic Unionist Party's (DUP) total number of seats in Stormont.
In choosing to go to the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency for the manifesto launch, the party's leadership signalled it as one of its prime target seats in the 8 June election.
Sinn Féin also hopes to add South Down and North Belfast to its existing four seats.
However, on Monday, Mrs O'Neill was careful to avoid revealing how many constituencies the party hopes to win.
"Whilst I'm not going to give you a number, we're engaged on the doorsteps and the canvassing is going so well," she said.
"People are very positive in their feedback because people know Sinn Féin are standing up for their rights.
"This is very much about taking an anti-Brexit stance; this is very much about taking an anti-Tory cuts stance; very much about progressive politics.
"So, I have no doubt that we are going to do well in this election. This is going to be another momentous election. The fact that so many people are engaged in politics - it all bodes well."
Sticking with the optimistic theme, she said the assembly election had "activated a transformation unimaginable to the founders of the northern state."
There are no surprises in the 28-page manifesto, which was published in English and Irish.
Instead it hammers home the familiar messages the party has based its strategy on for much of the past year:
Mrs O'Neill said that while the party had not wanted a general election it still represented "the opportunity of a lifetime for people to come out and voice their concerns again in relation to Brexit".
However, the odds are against talks with Iran ending with an agreement, Mr Obama told Reuters news agency.
Negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme are at a critical stage, with an outline agreement due on 31 March.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to urge the US Congress on Tuesday to oppose a deal.
He was invited to speak at the US Capitol by Republican House Speaker John Boehner, angering Democrats.
Mr Netanyahu - who faces domestic elections in two weeks' time - will not meet Mr Obama during his visit to the US.
In his interview, the US president said disagreements over Iran would not be "permanently destructive" to the US-Israel relationship.
But Mr Netanyahu had been wrong on Iran before when he opposed an interim nuclear agreement struck last year, Mr Obama said.
"Netanyahu made all sorts of claims - this was going to be a terrible deal, this was going to result in Iran getting $50bn worth of relief, Iran would not abide by the agreement."
None of that has come true, Mr Obama said.
"During this period we've seen Iran not advance its programme. In many ways, it's rolled back elements of its programme."
Mr Netanyahu is due to be presented with a bust of Winston Churchill by the Republican speaker John Boehner, who controversially invited him to speak in Washington without discussing the matter with the White House.
The Israeli prime minister sees himself as Churchill's heir, warning against Iran as Churchill warned against the Nazis.
But he's also been accused of political calculation - helping out his Republican friends and making the speech part of his campaign in the Israeli general elections a fortnight from now.
The Obama administration is countering by pointing everything it does for Israel, from $20bn in military aid since President Obama was first elected to the use of the veto in the UN Security Council to protect Israel diplomatically.
High stakes for Netanyahu speech
Netanyahu speech is win-win for Iran
Republican invitation riles Obama
The US, along with the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China, are seeking to reach agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
They are trying to address concerns that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons technology, something Tehran denies.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is holding talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif in Switzerland as part of the ongoing negotiations ahead of a 31 March deadline for a framework agreement.
The aim is then to secure a final deal by 30 June.
Mr Obama said that if Iran was willing to agree to "double-digit years of keeping their programme where it is right now and, in fact, rolling back elements of it that currently exist... and we've got a way of verifying that, there's no other steps we can take" to ensure Iran does not have nuclear arms.
Mr Obama said that while a deal was still unlikely, it would be better than the alternatives.
"If they do agree to it, it would be far more effective in controlling their nuclear programme than any military action we could take, any military action Israel could take, and far more effective than sanctions will be," the US president told Reuters.
The US goal is to make sure "there's at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one," he said.
The Israelis say any agreement that leaves Iran with the potential to use a peaceful civilian nuclear programme for military means, now or in the future, is unacceptable.
"I have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there is still time to avert them," Mr Netanyahu told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) conference in Washington on Monday.
Obama seeks long Iran nuclear freeze
The leading Republican and Democrat on the House foreign relations committee have sent a letter to Mr Obama highlighting their concerns about a deal.
They said Congress must be convinced that any pathway Iran might have to developing a nuclear weapon is shut off before Congress considers easing sanctions.
US national security adviser Susan Rice has warned Congress not to seek new sanctions against Iran while the talks with world powers are ongoing.
"Congress has played a hugely important role in helping to build our sanctions on Iran but they shouldn't play the spoiler now," she said in a speech to Aipac.
Iran's main nuclear sites
Their method stacks and matches multiple pictures taken from orbit to resolve more detail than can be retrieved through standard processing.
When applied to satellite views of what is thought to be the UK-led lander, a more definitive shape emerges.
Beagle-2 was despatched to touch down on Mars' surface in December 2003.
When it failed to radio home, many researchers just assumed it had been destroyed in a high-velocity impact with the ground.
But then new pictures came out last year that hinted at what might really have happened to the European Space Agency mission.
These suggested Beagle did indeed land safely, but for some reason did not deploy its solar panels fully. This would have obstructed its radio antenna.
Jan-Peter Muller and Yu Tao from University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory have now had another go at working with the images, which were acquired by the camera on Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance orbiter (MRO).
Ordinarily, this instrument achieves a pixel width at the surface of under 30cm from an altitude of 300km.
But their Super-Resolution Restoration (SRR) technique can push that to just 5cm per pixel. The key is being able to extract and combine information from a scene when viewed from several different angles.
When they do this with MRO's images released last year of the Beagle landing zone, together with some additional frames recently made available - the "petal shape" of the partially unfurled probe becomes clearer still.
"The feature that we see really looks like an artefact; it doesn't look like any rock I've ever seen on the surface of Mars," said Prof Muller. "And obviously it's not just a blob; it's got some structure to it."
Muller and Tao are excited by the possibilities offered by SRR, a technical description of which they published recently in the journal Planetary and Space Science.
They have applied it also to MRO scenes featuring the investigation sites of two Nasa rovers - Curiosity and Spirit. In the case of the latter, SRR processing makes the tracks of the robot vehicle really stand out.
It is worth noting that the cameras on the rovers themselves only have resolutions of a few centimetres when viewing targets several metres away. Super-resolution satellite imagery is now promising even more powerful assistance to the ground exploration efforts.
"[SRR] has huge potential to improve our knowledge of a planet's surface from multiple remotely sensed images," said Mr Tao, a research associate at UCL-MSSL and lead author of the recent paper.
"In the future, we will be able to recreate rover-scale images anywhere on the surface of Mars and other planets from repeat image stacks."
The two scientists are now talking with Esa about using the technique to find a safe landing site for the agency's 2018 ExoMars rover; they are also keen to see it used on pictures from the new orbiting camera Europe has just sent to the Red Planet called CaSSIS.
SRR is though a very computation-heavy approach. Using it on stacks to produce an image 2,000 pixels by 1,000 pixels can take three days on the MSSL Imaging Group's 14-blade (224-core) linux cluster. This should improve with time, and one driver could well be the desire to use super-resolution restoration on Earth-observation images.
There are other groups out there known to be developing very similar systems.
Phil Davies from remote sensing company Elecnor Deimos UK commented that "stacking multiple images should work very well on an area where nothing changes (much), eg. the Moon or Mars (so long as there are no sandstorms)", but that its application would become more challenging in moving scenes. "Vegetation in strong winds might have enough motion to cause some image degradation," he said.
Prof Muller concurred, adding that it was possible even to combine images at Mars taken several years apart because of the slowness of change at the surface.
"The bottom line is that we now have a civilian technique that obviously we're applying to Mars, but it could equally be applied to the Earth, and it allows us to see five times greater detail with the same assets and without having to change their optical systems or the way they operate," he told BBC News.

Costa denied the charge, relating to an incident involving Laurent Koscielny during Saturday's 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Costa, 26, put his hands in Koscielny's face before clashing with Gabriel, who was sent off but had a three-game ban overturned earlier on Tuesday.
In a statement, Chelsea said they were "disappointed" with the verdict.
Costa's ban covers Chelsea's League Cup match at Walsall on Wednesday along with Premier League matches against Newcastle and Southampton.
Having confirmed the match officials did not see the incident between Costa and Koscielny, the FA supplied video footage to a panel of three former elite referees.
Each had to independently rule Costa's actions to be an instant red card for the FA to proceed with the charge.
Arsenal defender Gabriel was sent off by referee Mike Dean for violent conduct after raising his leg and appearing to catch Spain international Costa.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes, who saw winger Ibrahim Afellay's ban for slapping West Brom's Craig Gardner in August reduced from three games to two, said he is left "scratching his head" by the FA's decision to overturn Gabriel's ban.
"I'm not sure why Afellay had a two-game ban when I see news of other situations which seemed to be deemed violent conduct and they get wiped off," Hughes told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We keep asking for explanations from the FA about why they come to decisions against us - or we're getting different ones to other clubs. This is a prime example of that. We're bemused by it."
The FA has charged Gabriel with improper conduct for failing to leave the pitch immediately after being sent off, and both clubs with failing to control their players.
All three parties have until 18:00 BST on Thursday to reply to those charges.
Lancashire wicketkeeper Buttler, who has played just one first-class game in 13 months, will bat at number seven.
Duckett averages just six with the bat in India after two Tests.
Stuart Broad and Zafar Ansari have both been ruled out, with Chris Woakes set to come into the side. The rest of the team will be confirmed at the toss.
However, Cook hopes fast bowler Broad will be ready for the fourth Test in Mumbai once he has received treatment on an injured toe.
England slipped to 80-5 while conceding a first-innings deficit of 200 in the second Test in Visakhapatnam, then lost their last eight wickets for 66 runs on the final day as India won by 246 runs.
Cook said it was not "ideal" having to make changes, but said they were forced upon England, who will promote Moeen Ali to bat at four and Jonny Bairstow to five.
"Unfortunately Ben hasn't scored the runs he would have liked so it gives Jos an opportunity," Cook said.
"Playing as a specialist batter at seven is quite unusual but Jonny has been in outstanding form and it gives him a chance to bat a bit more and takes the pressure off Jos.
"What we do know is that Jos is an incredibly good cricketer."
India captain Virat Kohli says he is fully "aware" of the threat Buttler could pose.
The one-day specialist has previous experience of playing in India from his time in the IPL.
"I was surprised to see him left out after a couple of bad runs," said Kohli. "He is a very talented player. We have all seen him do really well for England.
"We know he is a quality player and understand his potential. We are quite aware of what he brings to the table."
by Jonathan Agnew, BBC cricket correspondent
With only one first-class match under his belt in the past year and no cricket of any type for six weeks, this is a huge challenge for Buttler.
But at least he's under less pressure at seven then at four.
It means Moeen moving there, Bairstow five and Stokes six as England decide whether to play two or three spinners.
It's the fourth Test England have played on this ground but never on a pitch like this: much drier, and with a lot of cracks, this is sure to take spin and heavily favour the team that wins the toss and bats well first.

Mohali was initially seen as the venue where England could select four seamers and just two spinners, but the pitch is already bare at both ends.
It means Cook is yet to decide on the final make-up of his bowling attack - with off-spinner Gareth Batty competing with fast bowlers Steven Finn and Jake Ball for the final place in the starting XI.
"The stats here say it might suit seam but looking at the wicket yesterday morning it was quite a dry wicket," he added. "We just need to have another look at that."
Kohli, meanwhile, believes the Mohali wicket is the same as it has always been.
He added: "It should be a wicket where the team that plays better cricket will win."
Earlier this week, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was fined for ball-tampering after licking his finger and shining the ball while eating a sweet in his side's Test series against Australia.
Kohli was linked with a similar practice after the drawn first Test in Rajkot, which the India skipper said was surprising.
"If I was doing something the ICC would have spoken to me," he said. "It is to take the focus away from the series.
"I am surprised the issue came up in Rajkot. Allegations and speculation. I don't read newspapers so I laugh it off and don't pay attention."
England captain Cook, who says he chews chewing gum, called it a "grey area" and questioned how authorities could police such an issue.
India agreed to trial the decision review system (DRS) for the first time in this Test series against England, and Kohli says he is "pretty happy with it".
"We are going to get better at using it and understanding it," said Kohli. "It is just one way to make sure everyone knows if the correct decision has been made or not.
"The umpires' call is respected even in the DRS decision. I think that is pretty fair."
Stephen Packer said former heads of Park View Academy in Birmingham did not act on the comment by Abid Ali.
Hardeep Saini and Monzoor (Moz) Hussain said they did not recall Mr Packer telling them about the remark.
They both deny unacceptable professional conduct at a teaching tribunal being held in Coventry.
The alleged comment did not to refer to terrorist group Islamic State, the National Council for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel agreed.
The tribunal heard Mr Ali failed to act when told of pupils refusing to be taught by a gay teacher, allegedly responding "well as Muslims, that's what we believe".
Mr Packer told the panel: "I spoke to Mr Saini about the concerns I had in relation to Abid Ali, particularly in relation to his homosexual comments and the fact that he had expressed that he wanted an Islamic state.
"Both Mr Saini and I spoke to Mr (Moz) Hussain, however I am not aware that any formal action was taken against Mr Ali."
Also accused of unacceptable professional conduct are:
All were employed at Park View Educational Trust (PVET) schools.
It is alleged that on or before 31 March last year teachers agreed to "the inclusion of an undue amount of religious influence in the education of pupils" at Park View Educational Trust (PVET).
It is claimed the PVET was at the heart of anonymous allegations, called Operation Trojan Horse, of a plot by hardline Muslims to take over several city schools.
The allegations of a co-ordinated plot - now widely believed to be a hoax - later triggered four official investigations, including one by the Department for Education.
In further evidence, the head of geography at Park View Academy denied making racial and religious slurs against the Pakistani community.
It is also alleged the woman - referred to only as Witness A - made a derogatory comment about a male Sikh staff member at the school.
She said she had "never" made any of the comments as she gave evidence against five former senior teachers.
All the teachers deny any wrongdoing. The hearing continues. | A new 3D digital project for the Forth Bridges has been awarded £300,000 of funding from the Scottish government.

Despite claiming a first league win in four league games against Forest, the Royals remain 13th in the table.
Forest have lost eight of their past 10 games, and taken only one point from four matches since Paul Williams replaced Dougie Freedman as manager.
Beaten 3-0 by Brentford on Saturday, they are 17th in the table, nine points above the relegation zone with six games remaining.
The move comes after alleged police inaction sparked outrage in Uttar Pradesh state.
Three suspected attackers have been detained, along with two policemen accused of dereliction of duty and criminal conspiracy.
The girls were found hanged from a tree in Badaun district earlier in the week.
The victims' families say it took police more than 12 hours to respond to reports they were missing.
The father of one victim earlier told the BBC he was ridiculed by police when he sought help in finding his daughter.
He said that when policemen found out he was from a lower caste, they "refused to look for my girl".
"The chief minister has decided to recommend a probe into the Badaun incident as demanded by family members of the victims," the office of Akhilesh Yadav said on Saturday.
He had come under attack for earlier remarks mocking female journalists who asked about the rising number of rape cases at a news briefing.
"You are safe, why are you bothered?" the chief minister had said.
Saturday's announcement follows a pledge by the government to set up a fast-track court to deal with the case.
Divisions between India's castes run deep, and violence is often used by upper castes to instil fear in lower castes, correspondents say.
Although both the victim and the accused in the latest case belonged to a group known as "Other Backward Classes", the victims were lower in that hierarchy.
The girls, thought to have been 14 and 15, went missing on Tuesday night. They had apparently gone out to relieve themselves as they had no toilet at home.
Their bodies were discovered the following day. A post-mortem examination confirmed multiple sexual assaults and death due to hanging.
Campaigners have highlighted the lack of sanitation in rural areas as being a risk to women's security as well as their health, as they are often attacked when having to go out to use the toilet, particularly at night.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
The government tightened laws on sexual violence last year after widespread protests following the attack.
Fast-track courts were brought to the fore to deal with rape and the death penalty was also brought in for the most extreme cases.
Some women's groups argue that the low conviction rate for rape should be challenged with more effective policing rather than stiffer sentences.
Joe Mcgarry doesn't know whether it was alcoholism that led him to a life on the streets or vice versa.
"It's very hard to sleep at night if you aren't drunk if you are living on the street," he says.
Throughout the 1980s the tall, lumbering Irishman slept rough on London's streets, where help was hard to come by.
Homeless shelters at that time were required to turn people away if they were drunk or in possession of alcohol.
"I was a chronic alcoholic," he says. "I could not stop drinking. I didn't know how to stop."
Joe says finding a shelter that accepted him despite his drinking put him on a path to sobriety. He eventually moved to Australia and now helps addicts get clean at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.
"You can change once you get in there, but you can't change very much while the rain or cold - and it does get cold on the streets in Sydney - is eating away at your soul," he says.
In Australia, conditions attached to government funding mean homeless people generally must stop drinking before they can access long-term services.
But some experts are advocating a radical approach - giving free alcohol to addicts, up to 15 drinks a day in a managed environment.
Dr Nadine Ezard from Sydney's St Vincent's hospital is championing the counterintuitive proposal.
She says the people they are hoping to help have often been in and out of existing addiction programs - some up to 80 times - and are not getting the help they need.
"Quite often by the time we get people in their 40s and 50s, they are cognitively impaired and repeated withdrawal programs are not helping," Dr Ezard says.
The proposed Managed Alcohol Program (MAP), based on similar programs in Canada, would aim to help some of the city's most at-risk homeless residents.
According to a feasibility study completed by Dr Ezard's team, acute alcoholism effects roughly 45% of Sydney's homeless population.
St Vincent's Hospital says about 30% of the homeless patients they admit have a diagnosis related to alcohol or other drugs.
Dr Ezard says getting these people access to a place to sleep and other services would cut down on costs associated with emergency room visits, police contact, court costs and jail time.
Supporters of the plan estimate that the city could save upwards of A$30,000 (£17,000; $23,000) per person each year.
"Research from Canada suggests that once in a programme like this, health improves, or doesn't get bad as quickly," Dr Ezard says.
"Liver disease doesn't progress as fast for example. You can provide food, hygiene and homes, which promote health as well."
The small body of research on MAPs that does exist shows that providing a controlled amount of alcohol over time can also reduce the overall amount consumed by participants each day.
Canada is the only country that is currently running MAPs and social scientists there have been studying the impact on Canadian participants.
Tim Stockwell, director at the Centre for Addictions Research of British Columbia, has done intensive research on managed alcohol programs in Canada and he says early findings are positive.
"This is a really troubled group of people using up a lot of resources, in acute care, bouncing around between different accommodation," he says.
"There is early evidence that, for the right people, it can calm down chaotic patterns of heavy public drinking, injuries ending up in emergency care, and it enables them to maintain accommodation."
But Dr Stockwell warns that programs like these are complicated.
"What you are doing is balancing a reduction in acute problems like violence and injuries caused by alcohol, and increasing the risk of chronic illness and organ damage caused by long-term alcohol use. It's harm reduction," he says.
Rabbi Mendel Kastel, the chief executive of Sydney charity Jewish House, welcomes the proposal.
"We have a [homeless] refuge and we have the rules that every other refuge has that if someone is intoxicated, they can't stay and it breaks your heart to tell someone they can't stay if they have alcohol on them because there really isn't anywhere else for them to go."
But he acknowledges that there will be hurdles to implementing the plan.
"One of the biggest challenges we face is to get the community to embrace it and see that it is not about a place for wild parties and hanging out on the street, but it is a managed programme that is supervised and supported."
Convincing the public to use taxpayer money to give free alcohol to homeless alcoholics be an uphill battle. Dr Ezard acknowledges that her proposal will be met with opposition, but says Australia needs to be more creative with solutions for alcohol abuse.
"Australia used to have a very good reputation in this area of harm reduction, and I think it's slipping a bit," she says. It's time we started to think more broadly and to take that lead again with innovative strategies. We need a more comprehensive approach with drugs and alcohol."
Christi and Bobby Shepherd were poisoned by carbon monoxide at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel in 2006.
Their parents, Sharon Wood and Neil Shepherd, met the tour operator's chief executive Peter Fankhauser earlier.
Speaking at a press conference, Mrs Wood said she accepted it "may be time to look to the future".
The amount of money being given to the family was not disclosed, but Mr Shepherd said they planned to make donations to a series of charities.
Mrs Wood called upon Thomas Cook "to push forward our request" to have the bungalow where the children died be demolished and turned into a playground in their memory.
"Nothing can give us back our children and the carefree lives we once led," Mrs Wood said.
"I hope Thomas Cook and everyone who defended its wrong-doing now realise the impact on families like ours and they will learn the lessons they need to learn from this tragedy."
Christi and Bobby, from Horbury, near Wakefield, were on holiday with Mr Shepherd and his now wife, Ruth, when they died.
It was later discovered they were overcome by fumes from a faulty boiler.
A criminal trial held in Greece in 2010 cleared Thomas Cook of any responsibility and awarded the firm damages against the hotel's owner.
But an inquest jury ruled last week the children had been unlawfully killed and said the tour operator had "breached its duty of care".
Mr Shepherd and Mrs Wood criticised the firm for not apologising to them directly during the two-week hearing.
Mr Fankhauser made a public apology on Wednesday and admitted the firm "could have done better in the past nine years" in the way they had responded to the tragedy.
It later emerged two hotel staff who had been convicted over the children's deaths were found working at hotels where Thomas Cook sent holidaymakers.
Mr Fankhauser said he felt "physically sick" when he discovered the staff were working at the hotels and one of the employees had subsequently been sacked from his post in Crete.
The travel firm said it had stopped sending holidaymakers to another Greek hotel where the other was employed.
The company has donated half its £3m payout from its insurers to children's charity Unicef.
In a statement, the army said it had "returned security to Aleppo" and called it a "crushing blow" for rebels.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed "all civilians who wished to be evacuated have been, as well as the wounded and fighters".
This is the biggest victory for President Bashar al-Assad since the uprising against him began in 2011.
At least 34,000 civilians and rebel fighters have been removed from eastern Aleppo over the past week, a UN official said earlier.
Heavy snow, strong winds and the poor state of vehicles have slowed the evacuation, forcing thousands of people to wait for hours in freezing conditions.
The UN, which is monitoring the pull-out, called the process "traumatic, with crowding and vulnerable people waiting for hours" in freezing temperatures.
The evacuees from eastern Aleppo are being taken to rebel-held territory in the countryside west of the city, and in Idlib province.
As part of a deal brokered by Russia and Turkey, residents of the government-controlled towns of Foah and Kefraya in Idlib province, besieged by rebels, are also being removed.
ICRC spokeswoman Krista Armstrong said that everyone from each side who wanted to be evacuated had now been moved, and the process was complete.
"This victory represents a strategic change and a turning point in the war against terrorism on the one hand and a crushing blow to the terrorists' project and their supporters on the other hand," the Syrian army statement said. The government usually refers to the rebels as "terrorists".
The statement said the victory was a further incentive for the army to carry on fighting to "eradicate terrorism and restore security and stability to every span on the homeland".
Yasser al-Youssef, of the rebel Nureddin al-Zinki group, said the return of Aleppo to full government control was a "great loss".
"For the revolution, it is a period of retreat and a difficult turning point," he told the AFP news agency.
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against Mr Assad began in 2011.
For much of the past four years it was divided roughly in two, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east.
Troops finally broke the deadlock this year with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege on the east in early September.
After breaking through the rebels' defensive lines in mid-November, they quickly advanced and had seized all but 2.6 sq km (1 sq mile) by the time a ceasefire was brokered.
Aleppo: Before and after the battle
Earlier, Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that its warplanes had carried out 18,800 sorties since launching an air campaign against Mr Assad's opponents in September 2015.
In total, they had "liquidated 725 training camps, 405 weapon factories and workshops, 1,500 pieces of terrorist equipment, and 35,000 fighters", he said.
Human rights groups have accused the Russian and Syrian air forces of committing war crimes in Aleppo, alleging that they killed hundreds of civilians this September and October alone, deliberately targeted medical facilities, and used indiscriminate weapons such as cluster and incendiary munitions.
It rejected his view of himself as a whistleblower, and said he was a disgruntled employee whose actions did nothing more than help US enemies.
The report comes a day after two rights groups launched a campaign for President Obama to pardon Mr Snowden.
The White House has rejected the possibility of a presidential pardon.
The release of the report, two years in the making, also coincides with that of the film "Snowden", directed by Oliver Stone.
In a series of tweets, Mr Snowden dismissed the report's findings, writing: "Their report is so artlessly distorted that it would be amusing if it weren't such a serious act of bad faith."
Mr Snowden, the former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, has been living in Russia since 2013, when he gained notoriety for releasing thousands of classified documents that revealed mass phone and internet surveillance put in place after the 9/11 attacks.
Releasing a summary of its 36-page investigation into the case, the House committee said Mr Snowden had fallen out with his colleagues and lied about his background while at the NSA.
It says that most of the material he leaked related to military secrets that had nothing to do with Americans' privacy but were to "protect American troops overseas and... provide vital defenses against terrorists and nation-states".
Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union launched their 'Pardon Snowden' campaign on Wednesday, urging President Obama to do so before he leaves office in January 2017.
Amnesty said no-one should be prosecuted for exposing human rights violations, which, it claimed, is what "indiscriminate mass surveillance of communications" amounts to.
The ACLU acts as Snowden's legal adviser, and called him "a great American who deserves clemency for his patriotic acts".
The rapturous reception is not for one of the platinum-selling classics from his days with The Commotions in the 1980s. Instead, the crowd are cheering for Like A Broken Record, the opening track of his excellent but considerably lower-selling 2010 album.
"Thanks," says the singer-songwriter. "Always nice when the new songs are as popular as the old ones."
In fact everything Lloyd Cole plays over a two-hour set at Ustanova Kulture Palilula is devoured ravenously by an audience which has long been starved of live music like this.
Much of Belgrade beats to the pulse of British bands from the 1980s - blasting from shops, cafes and taxis. Street vendors and record shops offer locally-pressed vinyl copies of all the era's big albums for two or three pounds.
But seeing the acts in the flesh has been tricky since the breakup of Yugoslavia - thanks to conflict, international embargoes and economic woes.
Now things are changing. The economics of the music industry and Serbia's shift towards the European Union are playing into the hands of local listeners.
Lloyd Cole was just one of a considerable list of respected international acts who made their first visits to Belgrade in 2013. Beyonce opened her world tour at the city's main arena. Depeche Mode played an enormous outdoor show. And Green Day played at the foot of the city's ancient riverside fortress.
"I hadn't been getting offers here before - or, at least, not workable offers," says Lloyd Cole on the day of his show.
The singer admits there is a delicate balancing act for someone with his current profile - respected but not million-selling, although current album Standards has caused a considerable critical stir.
Income from touring has become vital to artists who can no longer rely on royalties from record sales. But travelling to a country where there is no audience waiting to buy tickets would be a costly mistake.
"There's a whole block of the world that starts somewhere near where the old iron curtain used to be and goes all the way to Japan that I've almost never been, and from a selfish point of view, I'd be excited to try to go to new places."
"Realistically, my chances of getting to those places would be dependent on me actually having some kind of re-emergence, which strangely seems to be happening right now."
But in Belgrade it is not just about the revival of a particular artist. Many of those for whom music is a passion are celebrating the re-emergence of their city on the international musical map - and what that means for their country.
Valentina Macura promoted Lloyd Cole's show as part of October's inaugural Festival Parallel - and says the renewed popularity of Belgrade as a tour stop has enormous symbolic significance. It indicates the decline of insular, nationalist attitudes which championed locally-made "turbo folk".
"Depeche Mode was a huge band for people in Belgrade and Serbia. When they came, and all of those countless thousands of people went to see them, it felt like after 10 years, we won!"
Valentina believes the range of touring productions coming to Belgrade shows that the city is finally recovering - culturally at least - from the isolation of the Milosevic era.
"The country is opening up - it has been for the past decade. But it's very important not just to have the big names coming, but to have artists who are a bit less commercial and more quality."
John Lydon's Public Image Limited certainly fit that description - they sparred with an enthusiastically abusive crowd in the garden of the Student Cultural Centre. Mark Lanegan - of Screaming Trees and Queens Of The Stone Age - has become a regular visitor, as has veteran singer-songwriter Chuck Prophet.
Peter Gabriel was another 2013 Belgrade debutant - making a late booking at the city's arena after a date in Croatia's capital Zagreb fell through.
His long-time guitarist David Rhodes says there are certain perils to playing in parts of the world which have not previously been fixtures on the circuit.
"Sometimes you're just not the right act to play and at the last minute the promoter will say: actually I can't afford to have you come out this far. Then you have to turn back and find something else to do!"
David Rhodes has become a frequent visitor to Serbia thanks to his involvement with the band Balkanopolis. And he says the changes in the country's international standing have come at just the right time to pick up musicians keen to expand their touring horizons and income.
"Generally artists will be pushing further east. Promoters will only put things on if they think they can make some money out of it, and artists will then come so that they can make a bit of money too.
"And I guess it's quite easy, once the promoters see it happening with a couple of people, that will then attract more and hopefully the scene will expand."
Serbia's promoters are also hoping for a little high-level help. Valentina Macura says she would like the government to provide "better conditions" for putting on events involving international artists - with tax breaks and help with sponsorship.
As it happens, the government has started to wake up to the fact that big-name gigs could be a way of attracting more overseas visitors to Belgrade - further rehabilitating Serbia's image.
Prime Minister Ivica Dacic says he has asked the country's new Minister of Culture to look into ways of attracting more international touring artists.
"It all greatly contributes to the strengthening of the position of our country. There is still much work to do, so that when you say Serbia, the first thing you think of is Novak Djokovic or the Exit Festival or the fact that the best nightlife is happening here - and not to think of Serbs as war criminals."
The past couple of decades have been turbulent both for Serbia and the international music industry. But now both sides are ready to give each other what they need. It could be the re-birth of a beautiful relationship.
Mills won gold in Rio with her partner Saskia Clark sailing in the 470 class.
But the 28-year-old from Cardiff is seeking a new challenge and will experiment with the FX class.
"I think this next year's a good opportunity for me to try something else just to keep it fresh and, in a years' time, I can make a decision of where I want to go," said Mills.
"I've been sailing in the 470 class now for 10 years. It's such an amazing boat and I've learnt so many amazing sailing skills from it.
"The new boat is a lot faster quite a different challenge. I'm really excited to try something new."
The FX is a two-person boat and is one of the five sailing classes open to women in the Olympics.
"We have a national competition coming up in November and that'll be my first opportunity racing that boat," Mills added.
Mill's sailing partner Saskia Clark was one of several British athletes who had their medical records leaked earlier this month.
The records showed Clark was given a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to treat her asthma during the Beijing and London Olympics.
TUEs allow banned substances to be used for medical reasons.
"For us in sailing it's not a massive factor. There aren't many TUEs in sailing aside from something like an asthma inhaler," said Mills.
"We aren't even that aware of what even people could take and get a TUE for. It's something that needs to be under scrutiny to make the process better and to make sure all the athletes are happy.
"I've spoken to Saskia and she totally relaxed. It's hard for us to even comprehend that it would be an issue because in sailing there's so much going on. Fitness is a huge part of it but there are 50 million other things we have to worry about."
They include £9.1m plans at Silverstone motor racing circuit, Northamptonshire, and a £16.8m project at the former BBC studios at Alexandra Palace in London.
The six proposals will each receive hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Heritage Lottery Fund chairwoman Dame Jenny Abramsky said the projects were "hugely deserving" of support.
The Silverstone project is to preserve its motor racing heritage, while the Alexandra Palace scheme is to restore and re-open the BBC studios' Victorian theatre.
There is also a £12.2m bid to transform the last surviving ship from the Battle of Jutland in World War I, HMS Caroline, into a visitor attraction in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.
A £9.8m project would develop a new archive centre documenting Cornwall's heritage at a historic brewery in Redruth.
Some £10m is required for the redevelopment of Aberdeen Art Gallery.
Plans to restore and open 800-year-old Auckland Castle in County Durham to the public are also put at £10m.
The castle has a collection of paintings by 17th Century Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbaran.
Former motor racing champion Sir Jackie Stewart welcomed the financial backing for the proposals at Silverstone, where he won the British Grand Prix in 1969 and 1971.
He said: "This grant is hugely important as a first step in helping the British Racing Drivers' Club and Silverstone to ensure that the heritage of British motor sport can reach a far wider audience than before and cements its importance for future generations."
Dame Jenny added: "From Cornish tin mining, to the development of motor racing and the history of broadcasting, these projects all reflect a real desire to tell the stories of important aspects of the UK's heritage and as such we felt they were hugely deserving of the Heritage Lottery Fund's support."
Rory McKeown's cross-shot hit the bar as Southport made a confident start, but after the break the visitors took control.
Kevan Hurst tested Craig King's handling with a decent effort just after the break, but there was little the Southport goalkeeper could do to deny the 31-year-old's superb volley with 18 minutes remaining.
The victory, which ended a three-match winless run for Guiseley, leaves Southport 10 points off safety with only six matches to play.

The comedy series, which stars Larry David as an exaggerated version of himself, last aired an original episode in 2011.
Speaking about the show's five-year absence, David joked: "In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, 'I left, I did nothing, I returned'."
An official return date for the new series has not yet been confirmed.
The commissioning of a new series is the first major programming decision by Casey Bloys, who took over as president of programming at HBO last month.
In a statement, he said: "We're thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of Curb and can't wait to see what he has planned."
The show, which premiered in 2000 and stars David in a fictionalised version of his own life, is HBO's longest-running scripted comedy series.
The actor, who also co-created comedy series Seinfeld, has maintained a high profile in the US since Curb Your Enthusiasm was last broadcast, parodying Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live and recently appearing on NBC variety show Maya and Marty.

The format of the tournament will now also change and instead of going into groups of four the 48 teams will be placed in groups of three with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the next round of knock-out games.
FIFA have said that the tournament will still be only be 32 days long and the eventual winner will still only have to play 7 games to be crowned champions.
There have been many people for and against these changes but it is hoped that adding more teams will give England, Northern Island, Scotland and Wales a better chance of qualifying.
They will hand over another third next Wednesday, with the remainder due to be surrendered in a fortnight's time.
The weapons are to be stored at 26 locations around the country.
After five decades of war and years of negotiations, the government and the country's biggest rebel group sealed the agreement last year.
There are 7,000 rifles and pistols to be handed over before the Farc - the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - can become a political party.
Farc leader Rodrigo Londoño Echeverri, who is better known as Timochenko, announced the handover on social media on Wednesday.
Government sources and the UN confirmed that the weapons had been surrendered.
Farc rebels have until 20 June to hand over all their weapons - a deadline that was extended from an original date of 30 May.
This has been one of the most awaited moments of the implementation of the peace process in Colombia.
So far no photograph or video of a fighter handing over a weapon to a UN mission member has been seen. It is uncertain if there will be such picture. Still, with the verification of the UN, the disarmament of the largest guerrilla group in Colombia is finally taking place.
They need to get it over and done with so they can focus on the next step for their organisation: entering Colombia's political life, as civilians, with their own political party that they plan to launch by August this year.
How will they fare and how much support will they have from the Colombian people? Many do not like the Farc, even without arms. But most will value the fact that they will not use them any more to push for their political goals.
The decades-long conflict between rebel groups, state forces, paramilitaries and drug gangs killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced more than seven million.
The peace deal was initially rejected in a referendum, then reworked and implemented. Since it came in to force the national army has been granted access to areas that were once occupied by the Farc and former rebels have been rejoining civilian life.
But in a move that threatened the process, a rebel was arrested in contravention of the deal's terms. President Juan Manuel Santos put the arrest down to "confusion" and the man was released.
For his efforts to reach peace with the Farc, Mr Santos was awarded last year's Nobel Peace Prize.
Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC told the jury of eight men and seven women that no further evidence would be led by the Crown.
Mr Whyte is accused of acquiring Rangers by fraud. He denies the charge and another under the Companies Act.
A total of 17 witnesses have given evidence so far - including Sir David Murray, Walter Smith and Ally McCoist.
During the conclusion of the prosecution's case, Mr Prentice made a number of changes to the charges faced by Mr Whyte, including the date of the alleged fraud.
Locations were also deleted from the charges along with a number of individuals said to have been "representatives" of Mr Whyte.
Mr Prentice concluded: "With that, I formally close the Crown case."
Jurors were then sent away for the day as legal discussions took place.
The trial, before judge Lady Stacey, continues.
Glenn Murray put the Seagulls in front from the penalty spot after Kalvin Phillips was sent off for handling on the line midway through the first half.
Despite dominating, the hosts only sealed victory with Tomer Hemed's late penalty after Lewis Dunk was fouled.
Leeds defended resolutely but rarely troubled the division's best defence.
Brighton, who go two points ahead of second-placed Newcastle, were top of the table at the same stage last season following a 21-game unbeaten run at the start of the campaign.
The Seagulls eventually missed out on automatic promotion to the Premier League, finishing third on goal difference behind Middlesbrough and champions Burnley.
However, Chris Hughton's men are now eight points clear of Reading in third, and three of their remaining four league games this month are against teams in the lower half of the division.
Their task against Leeds became easier when midfielder Phillips blocked Dunk's goalbound effort with his arm and Murray stepped up to smash home his 12th league goal of the season - all of which have come at home.
The striker, on loan from Bournemouth, had more opportunities in a one-sided first half, heading just wide and seeing his looping effort tipped over by visiting goalkeeper Rob Green.
Brighton were made to wait until the 83rd minute to add to their tally when Kyle Bartley tangled with fellow defender Dunk in the area - Israel striker Hemed sending Green the wrong way from the spot.
Fourth-placed Leeds had won five of their previous six Championship games before their visit to the south coast, but could drop out of the play-offs if results go against them on Saturday.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"I am delighted with the result and the performance.
"The only negative was that there was too big a gap between the first goal and the second. Anything can happen and in that period we didn't create more opportunities.
"In the last four or five games we have not been at our best but we have kept picking up results."
Leeds boss Garry Monk:
"I'm frustrated. Brighton are a very good side but had we kept 11 men on the pitch it could have been different.
"Brighton deserved to win, but we didn't do ourselves justice.
"It was a tough night and we didn't make it easy for ourselves."

Tickle has not played in Super League since being assaulted outside a nightclub in Manchester in November.
Ellen Yianni, 29, from Hounslow, south-west London, had been acting as a "medic's buddy" during the site clearance near Basildon in 2011.
Her solicitor claimed she was assaulted, wrongly arrested, held for several hours in poor conditions and "maliciously prosecuted".
Essex Police declined to comment.
Civil liberties law firm Hodge Jones & Allen, which represented Ms Yianni, said she had tried to climb a scaffolding tower at the entrance of Dale Farm because she "felt scared" of riot police below.
She was grabbed by two officers, who pulled her from the scaffolding and threw her down a steep ramp, where she was hit by a shield to the back of the knees, it said in a statement.
She was later arrested for refusing to remove a scarf from her face, which the law firm claimed she was wearing because it was cold - not to conceal her identity.
"She was then held for several hours in a police van without access to food, water or her antidepressant medication, and once brought into custody at Basildon police station and interviewed, was held for a further five hours without being allowed a phone call to inform friends of her whereabouts," the statement continued.
It added that, in its view, Essex Police committed a breach of the Data Protection Act by releasing her name, age and address on its website when she was charged but had yet to appear in court.
It claimed this resulted in "a stream of threats and abuse via Twitter".
In January 2012, Southend Magistrates' Court dismissed the charge that she failed to remove a face covering.
Ms Yianni attended the hearing with her boyfriend Jonathan May-Bowles, who was jailed for six weeks for attacking media tycoon Rupert Murdoch with a foam pie at the House of Commons in July 2011.
Hodge Jones & Allen said its claim included the contention that stress and anxiety caused by police had exacerbated Ms Yianni's mental health condition.
It said Essex Police did not admit liability but had settled the claim, agreeing to pay Ms Yianni £15,000.
The claim: The Migration Watch think tank says that between a quarter and half a million refugees and their dependants could come to the UK from 2020 onwards after acquiring EU citizenship.
Reality Check verdict: We could not find clear evidence to support this figure. It is very difficult to predict what future migration flows will look like, as they depend on a number of factors. It can also take a number of years for refugees granted asylum in EU countries to acquire citizenship and apply for EU passports. We don't know how many people granted asylum in the stated period will go on to become citizens of another EU country.
Of these, 333,350 were granted refugee status, subsidiary protection status, temporary protection or the right to remain on humanitarian grounds.
A report from Migration Watch, which wants to reduce levels of immigration to the UK, claims that between 240,000 and 480,000 refugees could move to the UK from 2020.
This figure includes family members who they say may travel with them but excludes "any future arrivals who might be granted asylum in other EU member states".
Migration Watch bases its estimates on the Eurostat data available for 2015 and the first three months of 2016. This shows that, in that period, roughly 460,000 migrants were granted asylum or humanitarian protection in EU countries.
However, they also claim that of those applicants already in the EU still waiting for a decision, "an additional 508,000 people will be granted asylum, bringing the total number granted refugee status in EU countries to 968,000 for 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 alone".
They calculate this on the current Eurostat data available on the recognition rate - or percentage of successful asylum claims - which is about 52%. However, it is not clear that this would remain the same.
Dr Nando Sigona, senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham and expert in migration, said that it was wrong to assume the same rate of success for pending cases. This is because more straightforward cases, like asylum applications from Syrians, tend to be decided on more quickly.
"Eurostat data shows that the acceptance rate of asylum claims particularly in some countries (e.g. Italy) is decreasing," he added.
This aside, to arrive at the figure of between 240,000 and 480,000 of the 968,000 coming to the UK from 2020, Migration Watch have made a number of other assumptions.
Firstly, they say that "each person granted asylum is likely to be followed by between four and eight family members".
They base this on a "leaked estimate from the German authorities". By assuming that four family members would follow 968,000 people, they calculate that the total inflow to Europe could be as high as 4.8m people.
We contacted the German government, who could not confirm the figures for the number of family members likely to join refugees in Europe. We do know that some other EU countries, like Denmark, are tightening the rules on family reunification and have extended the length of time that migrants can apply for family members to join them from one year to three.
Secondly, Migration Watch assume that the English language, availability of low-skilled jobs and existing migrant communities were a pull factor for refugees and migrants living in other parts of the EU.
The Migration Observatory research team at Oxford University previously concluded that these were indeed pull factors for some EU migrants.
However, as Dr Sigona points out: "Making assumptions about what recognised refugees will do after five years in a wealthy country is baseless. Secondary migration often happens immediately or if there is a major disruption. One could assume after five years that refugee families are more or less integrated where they are."
Thirdly, they claim that between 5% and 10% of these 4.8 million refugees could choose to come to the UK after acquiring EU citizenship. This brought them to the figure of between 240,000 and 480,000 people.
In their report, they say this percentage was mainly chosen for "illustrative purposes", though they also cited research showing that between "a third and half of the Somalis granted asylum in the Netherlands have relocated to the UK".
We found a study suggesting that the Dutch-Somali community in the UK varied between 10,000 and 20,000 between 1998 and 2002 - roughly around one-third of the Dutch-Somali population living in the Netherlands at the time.
However, according to official figures released by Eurostat, Somalis only represented 2% of the approximately 330,000 asylum seekers granted protection in EU member states in 2015. In 2014, 4% of the 185,000 people granted protection were Somali.
We could not find any other clear evidence to support this 5-10% figure, though Migration Watch say the EU's resettlement programme for refugees and current levels of migration from southern Europe were also factors which they considered.
Lastly, Migration Watch say that refugees could begin to arrive in the years following 2020. They base this on refugees granted asylum needing at least five to six years to becomes EU citizens and get an EU passport, which would allow them to live and work in another EU country. We also don't know yet how many refugees granted asylum in the stated period will eventually go on to acquire citizenship of another EU country.
As previously mentioned here, this can take up to six to eight years in Germany and asylum seekers have to fulfil a number of conditions before being accepted.
Robert McNeil, from the Migration Observatory research team at Oxford University, said: "We simply do not know how many people may come to the UK in future because it is dependent on an enormous number of different factors. The numbers put forward in this report are speculating about what may happen in the future."

The Club Crews will also help those who have lost friends, received unwanted attention or are feeling emotional.
The pilot project is being run by Best Bar None, the national scheme to raise standards on licensed premises, and the alcohol education charity Drinkaware.
It will run at three Glasgow venues - SWG3, The Garage and The Cathouse.
Crew members will work in pairs at these large venues, which cater for more than 500 customers.
They will introduce themselves to people who are queuing to enter and let them know that they are on hand to help.
As each club fills up, crew members will work with management, security and bar teams to ensure customers have a good time.
They will also routinely check areas such as toilets and stairwells and offer practical support such as tissues, water or first aid to anyone who has had too much to drink.
Elaine Hindal, chief executive of Drinkaware, said the Club Crew initiative would help young people have a good time safely over the festive period.
"We know this scheme can work well to help reduce the number of young adults experiencing vulnerability through alcohol on a night out," she said.
"The trained Drinkaware Crew can bring a new dynamic to venues, which means people in vulnerable situations have someone who is there to spend as much time as is needed, to make sure they are looked after and that they can either enjoy the rest of their night or get home safely."
Jonathan Dawson, operations manager at SWG3, said he was delighted to be part of the pilot scheme.
He said: "It is vital for me to put the welfare of our customers at the centre of our operation and I feel that the crew adds to and augments what we already have in place.
"It gives me an extra layer of service and safety. We want our customers to come and have a good time and, most importantly, to get home safely."
Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety added: "The new Club Crews are another Scottish first for our thriving night-time economy, which is so successful due to the high quality of venues.
"This festive season will be exceptionally busy and the new Drinkaware Crews will complement existing safety measures over that period and going forward."
As well as the Club Crews, Glasgow also runs Nitezones over the festive period where wardens ensure taxi rank queues are orderly and move quickly.
Glasgow's Street Pastors also offer help to anyone who is lost or vulnerable in the city centre at night.

In the present day, Kenya's ethnic diversity has produced a vibrant culture but is also a source of conflict.
The Islamist militant Al-Shabab movement, active in Somalia, has also been launching a growing number of attacks in Kenya, including the 2013 Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi and the 2015 attack on Garissa University College in northwest Kenya.
Other pressing challenges include high unemployment, crime and poverty. Droughts frequently put millions of people at risk.

President: Uhuru Kenyatta
The son of Kenya's founding president, Uhuru Kenyatta took up his father's mantle to become head of state in April 2013, despite facing charges of crimes against humanity over election violence five years earlier.
Mr Kenyatta, ranked by Forbes as the richest man in Kenya, was born in 1961 shortly after the release of his father Jomo Kenyatta from nearly 10 years' imprisonment by British colonial forces, and two years before Kenya's independence.
Educated in the United States at the elite Amherst College, where he studied political science and economics, he is viewed as the top political leader of Kenya's largest tribe, the Kikuyu, who make up some 17% of the population.
However, he also appeals to Kenyans from different ethnic backgrounds, able to mingle not only with the elite he was born into but also with the average Kenyan, cracking jokes using local street slang.
He is seeking re-election in the presidential election due in August 2017.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) ranked Kenya at 90th (out of 180 countries) in its 2014 global Press Freedom Index. A controversial new system of media regulation introduced in 2013 has drawn protests from media organisations and human rights groups.
A handful of major players dominate the industry. One of them, Nation Media Group, has extended its operations to neighbouring countries.
Television is the main news source in cities and towns. The spread of viewing in rural areas has been slower, hampered by limited access to mains electricity. A switchover to digital TV is under way.
Many Kenyans have embraced social media. Facebook is said to be edging out email as a preferred mode of communication.
Some key dates in Kenya's history:
c 3.3 million BC - Evidence of some of the earliest human tools have been found in Kenya, suggesting that it was the cradle of humanity from which descendants moved out to populate the world.
1895 - Formation of British East African Protectorate, which becomes crown colony of Kenya - administered by a British governor - in 1920.
1944 - Kenyan African Union (KAU) formed to campaign for African independence. First African appointment to legislative council.
1963 - Kenya gains independence. Opposition groups are stifled and the country survives ethnic tensions and a coup attempt. Multiparty elections are allowed in 1991.
1998 - Al-Qaeda operatives bomb the US embassy in Nairobi, killing 224 people and injuring thousands.
2007 - Disputed general elections are followed by deadly violence.
2009 - Kenya says that at least 10 million people, or one third of the population, are in need of food aid. The government mobilises the military to distribute food, water and medicines to areas hit hardest by drought.
2011 - Kenya intervenes in conflict in Somalia and subsequently suffers several apparent reprisal attacks, including the 2013 massacre at Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi and the 2015 attack on Garissa University College in the northwest.
On Sunday a driver screaming "God is great" in Arabic ran down pedestrians in Dijon, injuring 11, two seriously.
It came a day after police shot dead a man in Tours after he attacked them with a knife, also shouting "God is great".
Mr Hollande urged the French on Monday not to panic.
The man who carried out Sunday's attack was arrested after targeting pedestrians in five different parts of the city in the space of half an hour.
He is said to be "apparently imbalanced" and to have spent time in a psychiatric hospital.
The lives of the two people seriously injured in Dijon are not said to be in danger.
Witnesses told police the driver, aged around 40, had also said he was "acting for the children of Palestine", an unnamed source close to the investigation told AFP news agency.
A spokesman for the interior ministry told French TV he believed the attacker had been acting alone.
The driver has been known to police for minor incidents dating back 20 years, he added.
The prosecutor in Dijon said the attacker had a long history of mental illness and the incident was not linked to terrorism.
Manuel Valls, the French Prime Minister, tweeted (in French) to express his "solidarity" with the victims.
In Saturday's incident, a man stabbed three police officers in the city of Tours before being shot dead.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told French TV the man had been "very unstable".
Anti-terrorism investigators have opened an inquiry into the attack.
France has the largest number of Muslims in western Europe - estimated at between five and six million.
There have been a number of "lone wolf" attacks by Islamists in recent years.
Antiretroviral drugs were reportedly administered to the baby in California just four hours after birth.
The unidentified nine-month-old child is now said to be HIV negative.
It is the second such case after an HIV-positive Mississippi infant brought into remission following early treatment was reported in 2013.
"This is a call to action for us to mobilize and be able to learn from these cases," Johns Hopkins University paediatrics specialist Dr Deborah Persaud said at a Boston medical conference.
No trace of the virus can now be found in the infant's blood or tissues, the doctor revealed.
Dr Persaud said the nine-month-old child is still receiving a three-drug anti-Aids cocktail, while the three-year-old Mississippi child stopped receiving antiretroviral treatments two years ago.
"Really the only way we can prove that we have accomplished remission in these kids is by taking them off treatment and that's not without risk," Dr Persaud added.
Both children are reported to have been born to mothers infected with HIV, which weakens the body's immune system.
The human immunodeficiency virus has infected more than 34 million people worldwide, researchers estimate.
Bowling with superb skill and control, Broad removed Stiaan van Zyl, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers as South Africa struggled to 137-4, trailing England by 166.
Earlier, England stuttered from 179-4 overnight to 303 all out.
Nick Compton fell 15 runs short of a comeback century as Morne Morkel took four wickets in the morning session.
England are in a strong position to push for only a second win in 16 away Tests, although a battling unbeaten 67 from opener Dean Elgar will give South Africa hope of achieving parity in the first innings.
But the tourists will return half an hour earlier than scheduled at 07:30 GMT on Monday - with further overs lost on day two after a rain-affected first day - knowing that quick wickets will expose the South African tail-enders.
In the absence of England's usual senior bowler James Anderson, Broad had to step up to the mark - and just as in his match-winning spell against Australia at Trent Bridge, he thrived on the responsibility.

Recalled opener Van Zyl lasted just two balls before he left a delivery that seamed in sharply and rocked back his off stump.
Captain Amla - enduring the worst slump of his illustrious career with no fifties in his past 10 innings - edged a superb delivery with a hint of away-movement to leave the hosts 14-2.
De Villiers led South Africa's recovery, putting on 86 with the gritty Elgar, but fell one ball short of his half-century when Broad induced him to poke a leg-cutter through to Jonny Bairstow.
That brought the out-of-form Faf du Plessis to the crease, and he managed just two runs from 19 deliveries before he missed a sharply turning delivery from Moeen Ali and was bowled.
England's optimism will be tempered by the knowledge that they could be in an even better position if several key moments had gone their way.
Amla was twice reprieved - first when he appeared to get a faint edge behind off Broad having scored one but England declined to review, then when Bairstow dropped a much thicker edge off Chris Woakes when he had added one more run.
De Villiers was on 12 when he gloved a back-of-a-length ball from Steven Finn to Ben Stokes at gully, but the third umpire ruled that the catch had not carried despite the fielder appearing to get his fingers underneath the ball.
And - perhaps most crucially - Elgar was given a life on 58 when Stokes hit him on the pad and England again spurned a review. Had they used one, the not-out decision would have been overturned.
"It's something we have to sharpen up on, but Alastair Cook thought the batsman hit it," said Broad afterwards. "We need to work on our communication, which is something [former wicketkeeper] Matt Prior was good at."
Earlier, resuming on 179-4, England lost an early wicket when Stokes was caught at gully trying to pull Morkel for 21 - continuing a poor run with the bat which has seen him make just 129 runs from his last 12 innings at an average of 10.75.
Compton, unbeaten on 63 overnight, played slowly but with commendable application to hold the innings together, and he and Bairstow briefly steadied the tourists with a stand of 51.
But Compton's dismissal - caught behind pulling Morkel - triggered a familiar collapse as England lost four wickets for 20 runs in the space of 29 balls.
Morkel - outshining the other South African bowlers with his superior pace and bounce - had Moeen caught behind for a duck and then removed Woakes lbw first ball.
Bairstow - still searching for his maiden Test century - then fenced Kyle Abbott to second slip, and it was left to Broad and Finn to guide England towards a respectable total with a counter-attacking last-wicket partnership of 36.
England's Stuart Broad: "It was great to get us up to 300. We'd have liked a few more but we don't know how this wicket is going to play.
"Moeen got a few balls to turn and our leg-cutters gripped so if the pitch continues to deteriorate batting could get harder on days four and five.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special: "It's a slow, low pitch with a bit of nibble for the bowlers.
"People are having to work very hard for their runs. England did well this morning. Bairstow was positive and scored quite quickly and then Broad played some shots to get England to a working total on this surface.
"South Africa are a wobbly batting side and their confidence is down after their tour of India. Broad bowled beautifully with a great length and line and he got the two big fish of Amla and De Villiers."

The son's guardian, 24, from Walsall, was also interviewed under caution.
Blackwell, 25, was placed in a coma with bleeding in his skull after his 10th-round defeat at London's Wembley Arena on 26 March.
"No that's me done," the Briton tweeted after being asked on the social media site if he would be making a comeback.
"I can't put my friends and family and self through that again."
Blackwell wants to stay in the sport in some capacity and said he holds "no hard feelings" towards Eubank Jr as he continues his recovery.

Scrappy the fire dog helps the fire teams in the North East of England.
But he's now putting his paws up and retiring.
So who will take over his job, and what does it take to be a brilliant fire dog?
The opener smashed seven sixes and 11 fours in his 54-ball 110 as Notts posted 227-3, their highest T20 total.
Derbyshire, attempting a record T20 run chase in England, fell short on 222-5 despite Wayne Madsen's unbeaten 86.
Kevin Pietersen suffered a recurrence of a calf injury as his Surrey side beat Middlesex by 15 runs at The Oval.
Yorkshire won by 29 runs to inflict a third straight defeat on Birmingham Bears, while Hampshire suffered their second defeat in two nights as Essex cruised to a seven-wicket win at Chelmsford with six overs to spare.
There was little indication of the drama to come at Trent Bridge when Madsen removed Alex Hales and Samit Patel with the final ball of the first over and the first ball of the third to leave Notts 19-2.
Brendan Taylor survived the hat-trick delivery and went on to make an unbeaten 67 in a Notts record third-wicket stand of 153 while playing the support act to Wessels.
Wessels, 31, already held the county record for the highest score in T20 cricket, the 97 he made against Durham in 2015.
Derbyshire needed eight off the final two balls to win but England bowler Jake Ball held his nerve as the visitors had to settle for equalling their highest score in the format.

Surrey's victory over Middlesex was overshadowed by Pietersen's troublesome calf.
The former England batsman passed a fitness test on the injury - suffered while making 52 on his return against Essex on Wednesday - and strode to the crease following the fall of Jason Roy.
The 37-year-old defended his first ball off the back foot and turned down a single, running out Aaron Finch for 40 off 22 balls in the process.
Middlesex captain Brendon McCullum generously allowed Roy to return as a runner but, clearly hampered, Pietersen scooped an easy catch to Toby Roland-Jones off Steven Finn to depart for four.
Surrey captain Gareth Batty told BBC Radio London: "It caught us off guard because Kev had got through the fitness test, no problems at all. It wasn't on our radar and then unfortunately it went pop."
Batty said it is "unlikely" Pietersen will be fit for Surrey's game against Hampshire at Southampton on Sunday.

Leicestershire suffered a two-run defeat on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method after rain cut short their pursuit of 166 against Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
Leicestershire, who went into the game with the only remaining 100% record in the T20 Blast, restricted the defending champions to 165-8 at Grace Road.
However, rain forced the players off with Leicestershire 107-3 with 5.3 overs remaining.
Only eight overs were possible in Cardiff after a delayed start before Glamorgan's game with Sussex was called off, while the West Country derby between Somerset and Gloucestershire at Taunton and Lancashire's visit to Worcestershire were abandoned without a ball being bowled.
What is the most memorable T20 innings you have witnessed?
British troops began landing on the islands in the South Atlantic on 21 May 1982.
The Hampshire town, which is home to the Falklands Veterans Foundation, has hosted a national commemoration service and parade every five years since 1997.
A civic procession and a service at the town's Falkland Gardens was followed by a parade through the High Street.
The march past was led by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Collingwood.
The mayor of Gosport Linda Batty, Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire Rear Admiral Iain Henderson and First Sea Lord Sir Philip Jones took the salute.
Falklands Veterans Foundation chief executive Derek "Smokey" Cole, who served on board HMS Intrepid, said: "Gosport has a very special place in the hearts of veterans and their families, because many of those who served in the conflict lived there, and the town's military facilities played a crucial role in supporting the Falklands campaign - including supplying and arming the taskforce."
The 1965 and 1967 episodes star William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, the first two actors to play The Doctor.
They are among more than 100 instalments which were not retained by the BBC.
The announcement was made on Sunday at Missing Believed Wiped, an event held at the British Film Institute (BFI).
The BFI, based in London, has been working with broadcasters and film collectors to recover missing recordings of many different television series.
Television programmes only began to be routinely recorded in the late 1950s. Previously, they were broadcast live.
Even when it became possible to make recordings, video tape was so expensive that most transmission tapes were wiped, so they could be re-used.
In the 1970s, the BBC commissioned a report by the historian Lord Briggs. His findings prompted efforts to improve the archiving of television programmes.
Although original transmission tapes did not survive, programmes were transferred on to film for broadcasters abroad and it is these prints that the BFI sometimes recover.
Doctor Who was sold all over the world in the 1960s.
The latest two episodes to be found were in the private collection of a retired broadcast engineer, Terry Burnett, who bought them at a school fete in Hampshire in the 1980s.
Mr Burnett had no idea the BBC did not have the recordings - it was only when he mentioned them casually in conversation to Ralph Montagu, head of heritage at Radio Times, that their significance was recognised.
Airlock is the third episode of a four-part story called Galaxy Four, transmitted in the autumn of 1965.
Hartnell is accompanied by Peter Purves, later a presenter on the children's series Blue Peter, and Maureen O'Brien, now better known as a novelist.
The plot involves the desperate attempts by the Drahvins, a race of cloned females, to escape a planet which is about to explode. The story also marks the only appearance in the series of tiny robots known as the Chumblies.
The other re-discovered episode is the second part of The Underwater Menace, from early 1967.
It sees a mad scientist attempting to restore Atlantis by draining the ocean into the Earth's core.
Patrick Troughton, in only his third appearance as The Doctor, was apparently unimpressed with the production.
In a recent biography, his son Michael says he argued with the director Julia Smith - who went on to become the original producer of EastEnders - complaining bitterly about the "ridiculous costumes and make-up of the fish people".
Innes Lloyd, who produced The Underwater Menace later admitted, "it did look like something from a '50s American 'B' movie".
The find makes only a modest dent in the number of missing episodes, with 106 instalments broadcast between 1964 and 1969 still being sought.
Among other items recovered and shown at Sunday's event were Emergency Ward 9, a play by Dennis Potter, and a comedy sketch featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. | Reading extended their unbeaten home run in the Championship to eight matches as they came from behind to beat struggling Nottingham Forest.

Bath scrum-half Niko Matawalu will miss Fiji's World Cup match with Wales on Thursday because of injury.
Fiji were already without giant wing Nemani Nadolo, after he was suspended for one week for a dangerous tackle.
Nadolo has scored 16 of Fiji's 24 points in the competition so far as they have lost 35-11 to England and 28-13 against Australia.
Newly called-up wing Timoci Nagusa, the top scorer in the 2015-2016 Top 14 competition in France with four tries in four matches, comes straight in at right-wing in place of the injured Waisea Nayacalevu.
Captain Akapusi Qera will be the third player to win 50 caps for Fiji, following Nicky Little (71) and Seremaia Bai (50).
"We have a number of bruised bodies so we were always going to make some changes for this game," coach John McKee told BBC Wales Sport.
"The team we picked are all 100 per cent fit, we've got good depth in our squad and it's a very strong team which we believe will be specially suited to play against Wales.
"Nikola [Matawalu] isn't 100% and at this level we need players who are 100 percent fit.
"Nikola is a player who can have a strong influence on a game but we've got other good half-backs."
McKee believes Fiji need to target third place in the group to gain automatic qualification for the 2019 World Cup, even if they do not reach the last eight this time - but warns they need to turn in an 80-minute performance.
"We've come through two games with nothing to show in terms of points in the competition, at times in each game we've played quite well but we haven't been consistent across 80 minutes.
"Against these top teams - and Wales is certainly one of those - we need to be consistent across the 80 minutes."
Fiji: Talebula; Nagusa, Goneva, Botia, Tikoirotuma; Volavola, Kenatale; Ma'afu, Koto, Saulo, Cavubati, Nakarawa, Waqaniburoto, Qera, Talei.

The grinning tiger in a small village in Garut was supposed to be a mascot for the Siliwangi Military Command.
But internet users found it hilarious because it was so different from the fierce tiger on official logos.
"I don't know why, but every time I see its face, I laugh... buahaha," said one Facebook user.
The tiger had been in place for several years, but only recently found internet fame.
Vincent Candra told the BBC he had laughed a lot when he saw the picture of the tiger and decided to share it on Twitter.
It has since travelled across social media and made its way into the national media.
Many have poked fun at the tiger's cartoonish appearance, while others edited it into film posters and surreal scenarios. Other people uploaded more weird looking tiger statues they had seen in front of army bases.
"I didn't expect it will go viral," said Vincent. "I felt sad when I found out that the statue was destroyed."
On Monday, the army moved in to put the tiger out of its misery, demolishing it with chisels.
Siliwangi military commander Maj Gen Herindra told the BBC the statue had been "made long time ago in Cisewu district".
"Every unit has their own decision on how the statue was made, but sometimes the artist was not that good."
People who had been enjoying the humour online instead expressed grief.
"RIP Cisewu tiger, thank you for entertaining us," said one Twitter user.
One had an alternative suggestion, saying it would have been better to "move it into the zoo, so children can take selfies with it".
A parody Facebook page, Indonesia's Humour Ministry [or Kementerian Humor Indonesia] said a lot of people were "broken hearted".
As one of first sites to share the photo last week, they said they felt "a bit guilty" that it had now gone.
So they made a special "goodbye cartoon" to remind everyone of its unique grinning face.
Gen Herindra said the army would be looking at other statues in the region to see if they are "consistent with the original [military] emblem".
"If some of them are not good, we will change them," he said.
But he also promised a new tiger statue would be installed at the Siliwangi base, which was "more similar" to the command's logo.
The 26-year old has signed a three-year deal and becomes Cardiff's fifth signing of the summer.
Ward scored 12 goals for Rotherham last season and played under Neil Warnock in 2016 when the Cardiff manager was in charge at the New York Stadium.
"I've worked with Danny and I know what he's about... either scoring goals or making them," Warnock said.
"He played wide left, right, in the hole, up front; Danny's a crowd-pleaser with very good energy levels, but I also think there's a lot more to come from him.
"I've been chasing Danny since Christmas and I think we've finally got him now for an excellent price.
"Danny knows what I want and this is a great opportunity for him."
Ward, who has also played for Huddersfield Town, says he is excited to play at the Cardiff City Stadium.
"I'm really glad to get everything sorted before pre-season starts and looking forward to getting going," Ward said.
"I've played at Cardiff City Stadium a few times and always enjoy it; it's a lovely place to play. Hopefully we can fill it up in the new season and really get going.
"The gaffer and his team really turned things round at Rotherham when they came in and I loved playing for them. I'm looking forward to it again at my new club."
The Bluebirds have also signed goalkeepers Lee Camp and Neil Etheridge this summer on free transfers as well as Scotland defender Callum Paterson and winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

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

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

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

Luton goalkeeper Christian Walton, on loan from Brighton, came to his side's rescue in the 10th minute by saving a goal-bound shot from Collins with his leg after a pass by Boldewijn.
England Under-21 international keeper Walton later showed alertness to save a low shot from midfielder Billy Clifford.
The Hatters began slowly but former Sunderland youngster Jordan Cook should have hit the target when firing wide from a cross by Josh McQuoid.
McQuoid was off target with a glancing header before Collins gave Crawley the lead three minutes before the break by stooping to head home a cross from Lewis Young at the near post.
Luton had a let off when Boldewijn drove narrowly over following a strong run down the right.

They say the shelling began late on Friday and continued overnight.
There have been frequent clashes between troops and rebels in Deraa, where the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began last year.
Meanwhile UN monitors continue their investigation into an alleged massacre at Qubair, after visiting the site.
People in the area told the UN team that everyone in the village near Hama "had died except for a few", UN spokeswoman Sausan Ghosheh told the BBC.
By Paul DanaharBBC News, Qubair
Men walked into this village on Wednesday morning with the intention of killing everything that moved. But butchering the families that lived in this tiny Sunni Muslim community was not enough to quench their bloodlust. So the animals died too, their carcasses left to rot in the summer sun.
If this was an act of mindless violence the fact that the bodies of the people had been removed suggested a very clear-headed attempt to hide the truth.
The timing of this attack, as international envoy Kofi Annan went to the UN to report on his findings so far, could not have been worse for the regime.
That suggests that some of the militias the government has been accused of creating have spiralled beyond their day-to-day command and control, leaving the army to try to clean up their mess in Qubair before it was met by the world's gaze.

She said that the monitors had not yet been able to establish the number of victims. Activists say about 80 people were killed.
The BBC's Paul Danahar, who accompanied the observers to the village on Friday, said the smell of burnt flesh still hung heavy on the air.
Activists said government forces had removed many of the bodies. It is unclear what happened to those of dozens of reported victims.
The opposition blamed the Qubair massacre on militias allied to President Assad while the government accused "terrorists" of killing civilians.
Condemning Wednesday's massacre earlier, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned of an imminent danger of civil war. International peace envoy, Kofi Annan, has said his six-point peace plan is not being implemented.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia was growing increasingly concerned by the situation in Syria, but that it "will not sanction the use of force at the United Nations Security Council".
"If the Syrians agree [about President Assad's departure] between each other, we will only be happy to support such a solution," Mr Lavrov told a news conference.
"But we believe it is unacceptable to impose the conditions for such a dialogue from outside."
In Turkey, the main coalition of Syria's opposition groups - the Syrian National Council (SNC) - was set to elect a new leader later on Saturday, some three weeks after the resignation of its Paris-based president, Burhan Ghalioun.
The grouping has been plagued by divisions since its inception in September.
Reports quoting unnamed sources in the SNC said the aim was to pick a "consensus" candidate who would be acceptable to Islamists, liberals and nationalists within the coalition.
The shelling at Deraa, in the far south near the Jordanian border, began shortly after night-time prayers on Friday, according to residents.
One of them - who identified himself as Mazen - told the BBC: "After midnight the regime forces started directly to use mortars against the neighbourhood in Deraa Balad, an area in the south of Deraa City, which resulted in many dead people."
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human rights says most of those killed were women.
Despite frequent attempts to subdue Deraa, the city has never really been completely tamed by government forces and the rebel Free Syrian Army is active in and around the city, says the BBC's Jim Muir in neighbouring Lebanon.
The Observatory says 44 civilians were killed by security forces across Syria on Friday - more than half of them in Damascus districts and in Homs province.
It also says about 25 soldiers were killed in five provinces.
The UN says at least 9,000 people have died since pro-democracy protests began in March 2011.
The Syrian government has signed Mr Annan's six-point peace plan, but says it is fighting foreign-backed rebels. | The Indonesian army has demolished a tiger statue in front of a base in West Java after it became a laughing stock online.

Dembele, 20, injured his hamstring in Sunday's semi-final defeat of Rangers and was expected to miss the 27 May meeting with Aberdeen.
Rodgers' Celtic have already won the Premiership and League Cup and are bidding for the domestic treble.
"He was on a bike today and moving the hamstring so we'll see," said Rodgers.
"He will be out for the foreseeable future. He had his scan on his hamstring. We'll just monitor that over the course of time and see how it is.
"It wouldn't be fair to say that [he's out for the season], no. We just have to assess it over time, see how he reacts.
"There is a period of time with individuals in terms of hamstrings but it's never to say that you can't be back within that.
"It is a hamstring tear, not overly serious, but we will assess it over the next two-to-three weeks."
Leigh Griffiths replaced Dembele at Hampden in the 2-0 win over Rangers and trained indoors on Thursday but Rodgers said of the 26-year-old: "He should be fine for the squad."
Micheline Calmy-Rey said the two countries shared a common purpose out - or planning to be out - of the European Union.
But both still want a good trade relationship with the union.
She also urged the European Union to become more "flexible" on the issue of immigration or risk "exploding".
Its "very rigid" approach to free movement was not the correct response to the new pressures it faced following the UK vote to leave, she said, adding that Switzerland had found it very difficult to negotiate with the EU on the issue.
In 2014, Switzerland voted against free movement in a referendum.
"Switzerland and Britain have in common the same question - that means the question of freedom of movement and [the need] to find a solution in order to respond to our population to limit migration," Ms Calmy-Rey told the BBC.
"The question is what political price Great Britain and Switzerland are willing to pay to limit migration.
"Do they have to pay with access to the big market - totally, partially or not at all?
"And it all depends on the negotiations you will have and we will have with the European Union.
"I think not only Great Britain and Switzerland have this problem, I think other member states inside the European Union have this problem of freedom of movement."
The BBC understands that Swiss trade diplomats have visited Britain and met Whitehall officials to open lines of communication.
Although Theresa May and the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, have spoken about wanting a "bespoke deal" with the EU for Britain, the similarities between the UK position as it plans to leave the EU and Switzerland are striking.
And means there will be conversations between the two countries.
Switzerland rejected membership of the European Economic Area which allows for single market access in 1992 and is the only non-EU country in Europe which has its own bilateral trade deals with the union.
As part of those trade deals - which number more that 130 - it has agreed to open borders with the EU, an issue which has become increasingly controversial as people complained that EU citizens working in Switzerland were earning money in valuable Swiss Francs and then exchanging them for euros.
There were also concerns that the Swiss population was increasing too quickly for the country's infrastructure.
In the 2014 referendum, the Swiss voted to impose quotas.
Since then, Ms Calmy-Rey said the European Commission had refused to move on the issue of limiting freedom of movement while retaining tariff-free access to the single market.
But with Britain now making similar arguments to Switzerland, pressure is growing on the EU to compromise.
Ms Calmy-Rey, who was president of Switzerland between 2007 and 2011 and foreign secretary between 2003 and 2011, has considerable experience of EU trade negotiations.
She said the EU had to have a more "diverse" approach to non-EU countries as it would not want to see a large European economy like the UK "go towards" Asia or America.
"I think we could collaborate together - it would be fruitful," she said, arguing that many countries in the EU had similar concerns about freedom of movement, at present one of the four founding principles of the union.
"You have one vision [in the EU] which wants more integration, more solidarity with migrants, more freedom of movement and more integration of economic policies, of fiscal policies," Ms Calmy-Rey said.
"And you have other countries that do not want all of that.
"If the European Union doesn't want to take the risk of exploding we have to take into account these two visions and perhaps find a third way."
With little movement from the EU, the Swiss parliament has now suggested a unilateral approach.
In proposals announced last week, a parliamentary commission said that a "safe-guard" clause could be used to give people living in Switzerland priority in the jobs market over people coming to the country from the EU.
That is not likely to be sufficient for the UK, which, Swiss diplomats admit, will have far more leverage in negotiations with the EU because of size of the UK economy and the importance of London as a banking and insurance centre providing access to finance for EU businesses.
Swatted, warded off with smelly repellent or twisted out with tweezers from where they have burrowed into skin, midges and ticks usually get short shrift by people they encounter.
Midge bites can cause irritating red itchy sores while those of ticks can result in serious, long-lasting medical problems.
But to raise greater awareness of the health risks the latter can pose to human health, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) has explored the positive benefits of the tiny pests.
The pros include their importance as a food source for wild birds.
Heather Morning, mountain safety advisor at the MCofS, said there was a serious message behind compiling the list.
Ms Morning said: "Tick bites are linked to an alarming rise in cases of Lyme disease, which can have serious long-term effects on people's lives."
The disease is a bacterial infection that is spread to humans by infected ticks.
Flu-like symptoms and fatigue are often the first noticeable signs of infection.
Diagnosed cases of Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated neurological problems and joint pain can develop months or years later.
Earlier this year, a group called Worldwide Lyme Protest UK urged for more medical professionals to be given the skills to diagnose and treat the infection.
Nicola Seal, from Aberdeen, who co-ordinated a protest in May, said it was poorly understood, leaving thousands of patients without the appropriate treatment.
Official estimates put the number of new UK cases each year at around 3,000, but Lyme disease charities say the figure could be as high as 15,000 annually because so many people do not have their condition diagnosed.
Tourists put off returning to Scotland after being repeatedly bitten by the tiny biting midge are estimated to cost the tourism industry £286m a year, according to expert Dr Alison Blackwell.
In 2009, two men cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats in their underwear for charity were badly bitten by midges shortly after reaching the Highlands.
Adam Dunn and Gavin Topley, from Branksome, near Bournemouth, had taken no other clothes, money, food or insect repellent for their journey.
They relied on offers of free accommodation and meals.
Also in 2009 a woman on Skye told how she was using midges as a key ingredient in food for wild birds.
Elaine Bunce added the biting insect to beef dripping and flour to create her Original Highland Midge Bites.
She advertised in a local newspaper for people to send her expired insects collected from midge killing machines, as it takes a thousand for each ball.
Passengers and crew left the Airbus A319 plane as explosives experts examined a suspect piece of luggage.
The closure lasted for about two hours before police declared the incident over and the airport reopened.
Easyjet said the delay was "due to a technical issue which resulted in a smell of smoke". The flight to London Gatwick took off three hours later.
It said 156 passengers and six crew were on the plane, which had been due to leave Gibraltar at 11:40 GMT.
Businesses in the area were also evacuated and all traffic in and out of Gibraltar's border was stopped as it is the only route in to the territory.
A British Airways flight from Heathrow scheduled to arrive in Gibraltar at 12:45 GMT was diverted to Malaga while the incident was taking place. Flight BA490 arrived in Gibraltar at 14:55 GMT.
Gibraltar police say the captain of the Easyjet plane had asked for assistance and military explosives experts carried out an assessment.
Easyjet said the issue was "fully investigated prior to the departure" in line with "standard operating procedures".
A passenger on the flight, Gillie Harvey, told the BBC: "There was a strange smell coming from the hold and a sniffer dog went into the hold while we were still on board the plane."
She says passengers left the plane and were "moved to a secure area" of the airport and informed their luggage would be offloaded and rescreened.
The officers, who are being backed by the Police Federation, claim they are owed money dating back almost 20 years.
Their case against the PSNI chief constable follows a landmark court ruling on UK holiday pay rules in 2014.
Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris told the BBC's Nolan Show the PSNI would be seeking "clarity in the courts".
He said it was "understandable" that officers should seek their entitlements, but added that because of the amount of money involved, the case could have an impact on the PSNI's operations.
The 2014 court ruling was made in a case known as Bear Scotland v Fulton, when judges decided that employees who were regularly required to work overtime should get extra holiday pay.
Some police forces in Great Britain have already settled claims with officers.
The Police Federation of Northern Ireland is representing about 1,300 officers in court action against the PSNI.
A smaller group of officers are taking a separate case.
The claims are retrospective and lawyers have suggested they could stretch back to 1998 when the Work and Pay Regulations were introduced in the UK.
In a statement to the Nolan Show, the PSNI's deputy chief constable said: "At a time of austerity, I must manage scarce resources prudently so as to best protect the people of Northern Ireland.
"It is perfectly understandable that PSNI officers and staff should seek to avail themselves of their entitlements in relation to overtime and holiday pay.
"However, there are difficult points of law which mean that I would be failing my responsibilities if I didn't seek clarity in the courts, especially when the potential sums of money at stake are very large and would have direct operational impact upon policing in Northern Ireland."
Marc Williamson, 21, from the Richhill area, was stabbed in Hartfield Avenue on Sunday morning.
His parents, Barbara and Cecil Williamson, were speaking after seeing their son's body in a morgue.
Three men, aged 28, 26 and 24, have been arrested in connection with the murder.
Police have been granted an extra 36 hours to question the 26-year-old and the others remain in custody.
Mr and Mrs Williamson said the impact of their son's killing was "unbearable" and described it as "senseless".
They made a general appeal for people to stop carrying knives.
"A camera should be down in that morgue to let people that use knives see what they have done," Barbara Williamson said.
"Marc has a wee girl who is seven months old and he loved that child, she was his pride and joy.
"He will never get to see her growing up.
"I wouldn't like any other parent to see what we have gone through.
"We don't know what our future is going to be now. I have three other sons and they are devastated."
The couple said they sympathised with the parents of their son's killers and said they held no anger towards them.
"I am sure they are sitting there devastated today as well," Mrs Williamson added.
They were demonstrating against the arrests earlier in the year of two local journalists, Santosh Yadav and Somaru Nag, in cases they called "false".
They had been raising their voices ever since August, and with Delhi's journalists adding their support, the state government finally agreed to set up an independent committee that might look into cases such as this.
2015 had been one of the harshest years in memory for India's journalists, and for free speech in general - local-language newspapers, reporters and stringers had faced everything from defamation suits to threats and detentions, and worse.
Reporters Without Borders tracked the cases of nine journalists who had been murdered in 2015 - the most dangerous beats were environmental and political corruption. In Nagaland, newspapers blanked out their editorial spaces in November - an unprecedented gesture, as a protest against military directives that threatened to crush free reporting in the media.
The rot and the fear were not limited to journalism: 2015 was by any standards one of the worst years for free speech in India, with a sharp rise in defamation cases, sedition cases, majoritarian bullying and everywhere, an undercurrent of violence, a sense that mobs, or hired executioners, were never very far away.
In the middle of the year, writers across India had returned their state awards after the Karnataka scholar MM Kalburgi was shot by two unidentified attackers in his own home.
This gesture of conscience - spontaneous and unplanned - snowballed into a surprisingly large demonstration of solidarity as hundreds of academics, scientists, film stars and historians joined in the protest against intolerance.
At some cost: senior government ministers called the movement a "conspiracy", and the rightwing's army of trolls attempted to bully the writers, sometimes brazenly spreading lies about them.
It is impossible not to believe that 2016 will be a turning point for India and free expression in the subcontinent.
We could go under, losing more and more essential freedoms as writers, performers, environmentalists and citizens are caught in the crossfire of pressure from the state, as outspoken voices choke in the pollution caused by bad laws, or succumb to the rule of mobs, thugs and the deliberate violence unleashed by religious and political leaders.
Or we could see a steady fight wresting back these basic freedoms and demanding them as universal rights, not just rights for the relatively small world of India's English-speaking writers and journalists.
There is a wider sphere that connects the folk singer Kovan, arrested in November under sedition laws in Tamil Nadu for lampooning the government, with Huchangi Prasad, a young Dalit writer from Karnataka who had been beaten up in October and threatened for his writings on caste and religion, and the well-known writer Arundhati Roy, who faces a contempt of court case this month yet again over her reporting, on flimsy grounds.
2015 had seen a landslide of alarming and tragic events. But these past years in India had also seen an enormous and unsuspected appetite for books, a nascent fascination with authors, bestselling and otherwise.
The single biggest indicator of this was the profusion of literary festivals around the country - over 75 at last count, with the largest of them, the Jaipur Literature Festival, drawing crowds in the hundreds of thousands.
They could be spectacles with film stars, cricketing heroes and politicians grabbing the headlines rather than writers, but they were also increasingly one of the few spaces where writers in English and Hindi could meet authors and publishers whose medium was one of India's many other languages.
At the Hindu Lit For Life in Chennai, I had the chance to hear Kannan Sundaram speak.
Mr Sundaram is the publisher of Perumal Murugan, the writer who erased himself by announcing, "the death of the writer, Perumal Murugan".
He had been subjected to legal attacks, threatened, and in this deadly game of chess, where writer after writer was accused of provoking acts of organised violence, he had chosen to take himself and his books off the chessboard. Mr Sundaram spoke on the challenges in publishing, a subject on which he was, by any standards, an expert.
But on the drive to Jaipur, I was thinking about another incident, an apparently minor one in the present landscape of murders, thuggery, violent intimidation.
Just before the New Year, novelist and academic Saikat Majumdar had one of his short stories abruptly pulled from the Mint newspaper's end-of-the-year fiction special.
Majumdar got in touch with Delhi's nascent PEN chapter to ask if there was anything the group could do to help. The publication was within its rights not to carry his story, but the reason they gave sounded like self-censorship: their lawyers had said the story contained too much "violence of the words".
The magazine Caravan offered to print the story instead, with an explanatory note, and Majumdar's The Father of Man came out in its January issue.
The incident left a question mark hanging in the air: were we measuring sentences, now, for the violence of their words, and if so, what was the violence ration? What did editors consider an acceptable, under-the-radar amount of violence for words to bear?
The festivals felt, this year, somewhere between an escape from the violence that was bubbling up across the country along fault-lines of gender, caste, race and political allegiance, and something else, something more serious.
On the final day at Jaipur, I listened as Nirupama Dutt, the poet and biographer, shared her memories of the murder of Pash, the Punjabi poet, in 1988, another era of turbulent change.
I felt lucky to be on a session with Ashok Vajpeyi, Uday Prakash and CP Deval, to listen to them talk about what it meant to be a writer in a time of storms, how the writer's responsibility was not separate from his or her duty as a citizen.
In Jaipur, we spoke about the rise in defamation suits (48 filed in 2015), and what it meant for corporates and state governments to use this law to muzzle critics; about the contempt case against Arundhati Roy; about the rise in sedition cases (14 filed in 2015 against 35 respondents) making it a crime to question your country.
Roy's trials were bookended by the plight of other writers, journalists, environmentalists, that was how greatly the times had changed.
There are so many kinds of violence.
There is the violence of the word that people fear because it holds up a mirror to what is happening in India today; there is also the violence of not listening to the words of those who have borne the harshest brunt of censorship, of dismissing their struggles and trials without giving them equal weight.
Arundhati Roy is fighting a monstrous and unjust battle, but as people speak up for her, they must not erase the others who fight the same battle, too.
Recent figures show 20% of women science graduates in Wales go on to work in the subject versus 44% of men.
Another study shows women account for 35% of UK PhD science graduates, but only 11% of senior lecturers and 8% of professors.
The Soapbox Science event runs 13:00-16:00 BST on Saturday at the city centre's Alliance sculpture.
The 12 scientists, many of them experts in their field, will tells passersby about their specialism and their passion for science.
Organisers said now was a "time of great opportunity for budding female scientists", pointing to an average annual shortfall of 40,000 new science, technology, engineering and mathematics skilled workers in the UK.
Soapbox Science, which is on a month-long national tour, will be in Swansea on 8 July.
The Cardiff event, on The Hayes, ran for the first time last year, attracting 1,000 people.
In March, a report said only one in six workers in key sectors in Wales is a woman and only 12% of engineering and technology students are female, calling it a "a waste of knowledge and talent".
Kenya threatened to pull out if the Zika virus reaches "epidemic levels".
There are also concerns about water pollution in Rio de Janeiro, but Stanford is happy to represent Great Britain.
"I know that health and safety would never be compromised," she told BBC Wales Sport.
"The medical representatives from Team GB have been in touch to reassure us that they will do everything possible to make sure we're not affected by these issues.
"If by the time the Games come around there is a serious threat, then I'm sure the necessary steps will be taken to make sure we don't come into any harm."
Stanford earned her place in the Great Britain triathlon team by finishing second at the World Triathlon Grand Final in Chicago in September 2015.
The 2012 World Under-23 champion Stanford won the senior title the following year.
But injuries ruled Stanford out of most of the 2014 season, including the Commonwealth Games, and began her bid to win selection for Rio at the ITU event in Yokohama in May 2015.
That campaign ended successfully in Chicago where fellow Welshwoman Helen Jenkins finished 11th.
While pro-government papers support the operation, secular and leftist dailies voice fears that the move will now spell an end to the already protracted peace talks with the PKK.
'Terror triangle' being dismantled
"Double blow on terror," reads a headline in pro-government Ortadogu daily.
"The Bermuda terror triangle" is being demolished, says conservative Milat, in a reference to IS, PKK and the extreme left-wing group, the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front or DHKP-C.
The government is not abandoning the peace talks with the PKK, argues Orhan Miroglu in centre-right Star, adding that the AKP party had no alternative but to strike after years of "sincere" efforts failed to elicit any response from the PKK leadership in Quandil.
By reaching a deal with the US, Turkey has finally "responded to the 'proxy wars' being waged through groups operating both outside the country, says Mahmut Ovur in Sabah.
"Turkey has both confronted those trying to import terror and shown that new alliances can be formed. And this too is a sign of a new era," he says.
And the operation has full support of Iraqi Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani and even the UK prime minister, David Cameron, claims a headline in centre-right Haber Turk.
'Wrong' foreign policies
But many secular and leftist dailies are critical of the strikes.
The government in Ankara now has the support of the US in fighting both IS and the PKK, writes Yalcin Dogan in Hurriyet. But it should have never allowed the fighting to get so close to its southern border, which has now "all but disappeared", he argues.
The current situation is the result of the "wrong" foreign policies pursued by the government pursued over the past decade.
Warning over early poll
Other commentators suspect President Recep Tayyip Erdogan might be trying to use the crisis as a pretext to call an early poll in order to shore up AKP majority in parliament.
"Turkey is being dragged into a historic adventure by those whose authority was limited … as revenge in 7 June general elections, says Cengiz Candar in Radikal.
The paper urges the CHP - the Republican People's Party, now the second biggest party in parliament - to put pressure on Mr Erdogan to reverse his "dangerous" decision.
Writing in Zaman, Mumtazer Turkone warns that "the skies will tumble on those making election calculations with bombs, adding that "the nation would defeat such plans at the ballot box."
Similar warnings are echoed in Cumhuriyet.
"The oppressive regimes are fed by the chaos and the worry it creates among the people," Can Dundar writes in the daily. "Erdogan knows that both a broad coalition and a new ballot box will limit his own hegemony … That is why he is looking for another way out."
And Mehmet Tezkan in Milliyet says now that "the IS monster has become our terror group" a logical step would be to speed up coalition talks and form a strong government but "with every single day, we are a step closer to a new election."
"After four years of peace, we will now go back to thirty years of bloodshed for the sake of [the president's] ambitions," he says.
Finally, Nazli Ilicak says bluntly in Bugun that Mr Erdogan is acting against IS only after the Kurdish party - HDP - got into parliament as he realises that he needs to woo back nationalist votes so that "the AK Party can return to govern alone once again."

The former children's laureate is no stranger to stage or screen adaptations of his books, though few have had the galloping success of War Horse.
The West End hit transfers to Broadway in March 2011, with Spielberg's movie version due out the following August. The cast includes Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch (currently in TV's Sherlock), Peter Mullan and Jeremy Irvine.
The book tells the story of a farm horse, Joey, who gets separated from his owner and ends up in the trenches of World War I.
What's astonishing is that War Horse made it this far at all. Morpurgo, who wrote the book in 1982, admits it did nothing spectacular for years.
"It nearly won a prize but failed. It was translated into three or four languages. It was published in America and didn't succeed. It stayed in print - just about - for about 25 years. It simply was not a book that anyone really knew about or cared about."
All that changed when it came to the attention of the National Theatre, which was on the look-out for an animal-centric drama. The show opened in 2007 to widespread acclaim.
And then Hollywood came knocking on the stable door.
"The Spielberg thing was extraordinary," says Morpurgo. "It worked unbelievably quickly. The deal was done within weeks and the film is going to be made within months."
Morpurgo met Spielberg to discuss the project, and has been kept in the loop as the screenplay (by Lee Hall and Richard Curtis) has developed.
"Steven Spielberg was wonderfully engaging and inquisitive about the whole history of it," Morpurgo recalls. "It was the most spellbinding thing to sit across the table from one of the world's great storytellers."
The 66-year-old author has high hopes for the big screen War Horse: "I'd like it to be the iconic movie of World War I since All Quiet on the Western Front or Oh! What a Lovely War."
Has Morpurgo been surprised by the novel's slow-burning success?
"Am I little surprised?" he answers, with a hint of disbelief at the question. "Yes, I'm a little surprised, but I'm also relatively pleased."
Tractor tale
The book Farm Boy is a "sequel" to War Horse in that it continues the story of Joey after World War I.
Morpurgo, however, isn't fond of sequels: "I don't like going back to to the same field to graze."
But he was persuaded to revisit Joey's story by the illustrator Michael Foreman - who suggested a story about how tractors changed the face of farming.
"I'd also had a few letters from kids asking what happened to Joey when he comes back from World War I? How did he manage back on the farm?"
More than 30 years ago Morpurgo and his wife Clare set up Farms for City Children in Devon, which gives children the opportunity to work with animals.
"I'm in the wonderful, privileged position of being able to witness this enthusiasm that urban people seem to have when they first come into the countryside," says Morpurgo.
The stage version of Farm Boy - which opens in Edinburgh next week - is a more modest production than War Horse.
"If you went in with the expectations of the immense complexity of the lighting and design and amazing puppets of War Horse then you would be disappointed," says Morpurgo.
"This is a miniature portrait but it's beautifully crafted - all you have on stage is this wonderful old tractor and two people - they take several roles. It's how theatre should be done."
Morpurgo hasn't adapted these recent stage or screen versions of his books because after some earlier attempts he discovered he "really wasn't very good at it".
But there is interest in the film rights to other books such as Private Peaceful (another story from World War I).
And it would be surprising - as the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic approaches - if no-one wanted to make a version of Kaspar: Prince of Cats, the story of a cat at the Savoy Hotel who ends up on the doomed luxury liner.
Both Private Peaceful and Kaspar contain powerful emotional punches that pull the rug from under readers of all ages.
"Life catches us out," admits Morpurgo. "I know perfectly well as a father and grandfather that life is complicated and there are sadnesses and there are joys, and I reflect those in my stories.
"What I don't try to do is talk down to children and pretend that everything works out and it's all right. I think we must write about those things not in a way that is traumatic, but in a way that touches their hearts."
Farm Boy is on at the Edinburgh Suite, Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh, from 5 - 30 Aug prior to an autumn UK tour.
North Wales Police officers spent two weeks working with North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, the Motor Insurance Bureau and the DVLA.
A total of 86 arrests were made for offences including drink-driving, drug-driving and driving while disqualified.
Ch Insp Darren Wareing said: "This campaign was about denying criminals the use of the roads."
The 23-year-old Scarlets loose-head will win his fourth cap in Dublin, with 119-times capped Jenkins on the bench.
He concedes Jenkins and Paul James - who does not make the match day squad - were his idols as a young player.
"It's definitely a big opportunity for me but Gethin and Paul aren't bad boys to fall back on," he said.
"If I don't take it, there are two boys behind me, Paul and Gethin, who will."
Coach Warren Gatland's decision to opt for the youth of Evans against the defending champions hints at long-term planning for the 2019 World Cup.
According the the New Zealander, 35-year-old Jenkins is unlikely to be at the tournament and Ospreys loose-head James is only two years younger.
Evans, who missed out on selection for the 2015 World Cup, has also impressed the Wales management with his displays for the Scarlets in the Pro12.
He said he was delighted with his selection and was full of praise for the senior players.
"I started playing rugby when Gethin and Paul were doing really well," he added.
"It was good to watch them and I'm still learning off them today.
"It's awesome really to be picked ahead of a Lion and Paul, who has 60 plus caps, so you can take a lot of of confidence from that.
"They are really tidy people as well."
And asked if Jenkins had spoken to him following the team announcement, Evans laughed: "Yes, he just said: 'Your lungs are going to be burning on Sunday'."
Nato estimates for 2016 show that only five alliance members - the US, UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia - will spend a minimum of 2% of national output (GDP) on defence, which is the target.
Germany's defence spending of €37bn in 2017 will be 1.2% of GDP.
US President-elect Donald Trump says Nato allies are over-reliant on the US.
He has questioned whether the US should defend any alliance partner, under Article 5, if so many of the 28 Nato members are not paying their way. He also criticised Nato as "obsolete".
Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has long urged alliance members to meet the 2% target.
Announcing the 2017 spending target, German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said "we're moving in the right direction, but we can't do it in one year". Defence spending also rose in 2016.
Germany has for years struggled to modernise its military as it becomes more involved in Nato operations. It scrapped conscription to become a professional army in 2011 but last year said it may introduce a form of national service for civil defence.
Other Nato members have also started to increase defence spending. The alliance faces a range of security challenges, including the Islamist insurgencies in the Middle East and Africa and Russia's resurgent armed forces, accused of undermining Ukraine.
The significant areas of German defence spending in 2016 included: the Puma Infantry Combat Vehicle, new ammunition and communications equipment. There were delays to some major projects: the A400M transport plane, the Tiger attack helicopter and the NH90 transport helicopter, German n-tv news reports.
Sanjeev Gupta, chief executive of the commodities firm Liberty House, is to meet Sajid Javid to discuss his potential plans.
Earlier, Mr Gupta told the BBC he would be interested in the whole business.
"Many [parts] are loss-making at the moment but we believe they can be turned around," he said.
However, he reiterated his doubts about the viability of the blast furnaces.
"The biggest problem we see is the blast furnaces because they are importing all their raw material to smelt steel."
Tata suitor claims he can save jobs
Who might buy Tata in Port Talbot?
What's going wrong with Britain's steel industry?
Tata Steel UK: What are the options?
Is China to blame for steel woes?
He said Liberty House's alternative suggestion would be to still make hot metal, but to make it from local raw scrap material rather than imported raw material.
"Making new steel doubles our carbon footprint, "he said.
"There is a way of making steel in the UK which has a much lower carbon footprint that what we currently do.
"At the moment we export our scrap and bring back steel - we import 6 million tonnes of steel. I would like to see more of that being made here. So our commitment would be not just to produce what is currently produced but actually to expand production eventually in due course. "
About half of Port Talbot's 4,000 employees are working in the blast furnaces and on the coke side, but Mr Gupta said his intention would be to redeploy all of them.
When pressed as to whether that meant there would be no redundancies at all, he said: "That would definitely be my objective, yes."
Separately, the business secretary told the BBC that it was "great" that there was interest in Tata's UK business from Liberty and others.
He said "the important thing is where the buyers are coming forward we are ready to work with them".
Tomorrow he is due to meet the Tata chairman Cyrus Mistry in Mumbai.
While there he wants to get a final agreement on the sales process.
"I want to make sure that when the documentation for that is issued that it's clear that the UK government understands it's got a role to every potential buyer and that we are well coordinated with Tata," he added.
Representatives of the steel union Community are due to meet Mr Javid later today.
They plan to give him a message for Mr Mistry that Tata "needs to be a responsible seller".
"They need to provide time for investors to come forward to take a look at the business and for the government, new investors and the unions to work together to deliver a future for UK steel," said Matt Ball from Community union.
Mr Ball said his union already had a relationship with Mr Gupta because he owns a small steelworks in Newport where it has some members.
"We were impressed by the way that he invested in that plant down there. He has future plans to invest there. He looked after the workforce while he was getting the business back up and running so we've had a positive experience so far."
Saturday's eight-wicket defeat by Sri Lanka was England's 15th in 22 ODI's against Test-playing nations.
Tredwell, 32, says that Cook is handling the pressure and a good score from him is just round the corner.
"We are a team, he is our leader and we want that to continue," Tredwell told BBC Sport.
After the defeat that put England 2-0 down in the seven-match series in Sri Lanka, Pietersen wrote on Twitter: "Dear Alastair, if you care about England's chances this winter, please resign."
Cook made only 22 as England were bowled out for 185 in Colombo, taking his 2014 tally in 50-over internationals to 436 runs in 16 matches at an average of 29.
Tredwell said: "He (Cook) is just working on getting that score, which is just round the corner. He is a class player and we are all behind him in his leadership as well."
The Kent bowler blamed England's disappointing run of results on an inability to put together match-winning performances with bat and ball.
He added: "There has been the odd glimpse, but we've not put scores on the board and bowled well as unit in the same game. We have to put it together as one and do that game in game out. That is our challenge."
Sri Lanka batsman Mahela Jayawardene, man-of-the-match in the eight-wicket win on Saturday, has asked to be excused from the third ODI on Wednesday in Hambantota for personal reasons.
Seam bowler Chris Woakes missed England training because of a stomach upset on Monday but is hoping to be available.
Cook's side now have nine more games - five in the ongoing series in Sri Lanka and four in a tri-series with Australia and India - before the World Cup begins in February.
He was detained along with the TFF's secretary general Selestine Mwesigwa.
The duo were held overnight and face a second round of questioning on Thursday.
Bureau spokesperson Musa Misalaba added the pair will stay in custody until further notice as they are questioned.
The detention comes after a lengthy investigation by the bureau. Details of the specific allegations are yet to be made public.
Misalaba said the bureau is continuing to investigate other federation officials over similar allegations.
The patients suffer from a rare illness that means their windpipes can collapse and prevent air getting in.
The device was rapidly customised for each individual. And unlike most 3D implants, it was made of material that changed shape as the children grew.
The research appears in Science Translational Medicine.
Due to the small number of children involved in the study it does not prove it will work in every case.
But it does show the splints could be a promising option for a condition that has no cure, researchers from CS Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan say.
One in 2,000 children have tracheobronchomalacia - a weakening and collapse of the windpipe (trachea) that would normally allow air to travel to the lungs.
Those with the most severe form have a poor chance of surviving. But if they can get to the the age of three, their windpipes have often strengthened enough to allow them to breathe well.
Kaiba Gionfriddo had the procedure when he was just three months old. He was in a critical condition, needing intensive care because his body was not getting the oxygen it needed.
So doctors sought emergency approval to use the device as a a last resort.
Lead researcher Dr Glenn Green described it as a ground-breaking case.
Kaiba is now "an active, healthy three-year old in preschool with a bright future", researchers said.
Almost three years later the splint shows signs of melting away as planned. And doctors say his windpipe appears strong enough for him to breathe without its support.
April Gionfriddo, Kaiba's mum, said: "The first time he was hospitalised, doctors told us he may not make it out.
"It was scary knowing he was the first child to ever have this procedure, but it was our only choice and it saved his life."
The team have now carried out the surgery on two other children.
Both are doing well and are back at home, though one continues to need a machine to help his breathing, because of problems the splint could not address.
Dr Patrick Finlay, of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, described it as an advanced piece of engineering.
He said: "The problem represents some formidable difficulties.
"You have to construct something that can cope with growth and coughing and sneezing.
"And they seem to have done this - it is very exciting."
He said the splint could be thought of as similar to a section of vacuum cleaner pipe that had been split in the middle.
It is customised to match the exact anatomy of each patient and made of a bio-absorbable material.
Doctors sew it in place on the outside of the windpipe as an incomplete ring.
The aim is for it to provide support without constricting growth.
Prof Paolo De Coppi of Great Ormond Street Hospital described this as a very attractive way of doing the procedure.
He said: "Other options can include internally placed stents - but these can cause bleeding and other complications.
"It is very encouraging news to see at three years that it appears safe and effective in this child."
US researchers have filed a patent on the device and are now embarking on a larger trial.
Klay Thompson led a fourth-quarter rally scoring an NBA play-off record 11 three-pointers and a career play-off best 41 points.
The winner of Monday's game seven at Oakland will face the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals.
The Cavs beat Toronto Raptors 4-2 in the Eastern Conference.
After surrendering a 3-1 series lead, the Thunder must win on a court where the Warriors have lost only twice all season.
Thompson said. "We were down almost the whole game. We never gave up and our resilience got us through. We kept our composure. We knew if we didn't get it done we were going home."
Steph Curry, named the NBA's most valuable player, also played a key part in the Warriors' victory, adding 29 points - 10 rebounds and nine assists.
BBC Wales At Work has found that more than two-thirds of those made redundant have new jobs.
Most are in Pembrokeshire - but a fifth work outside Wales - as far away as Saudi Arabia and even in Switzerland, on the Large Hadron Collider.
Another 41 are leaving this summer after being kept on for the shutdown.
A further 49 workers will be working at the storage depot, which is being left on the site.
A deal to take over the refinery last autumn after four years of uncertainty was so tantalisingly close that a marquee had been set up for a celebratory party.
It was estimated to be worth £30m a year to the Pembrokeshire economy and supported a further 4,200 jobs in the area.
Mike Deakin, 51, former senior process technician and team leader, now commutes 200 miles between Milford Haven and Stanlow, Cheshire. He was out of work for three months before starting a new job in April.
"I was very lucky that I had a couple of job offers. It means travelling away from Pembrokeshire but my family are staying here because my boys, 16 and 17, are doing exams in school and my daughter - who's 21 - is at a local university.
"It's worked out quite well. A number of us got jobs at Stanlow and are travelling back to Pembrokeshire."
He said there was still a "hurt" back in Milford Haven, with a Murco a good place to work.
His old shift still have a monthly breakfast to meet up - and they have a Facebook group - but he misses his old colleagues.
Patrick Owen, 34, spent nearly five years over two periods at Murco and is now working at CERN in Switzerland on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project.
"It was a surprise because we'd been led to believe that a deal was 99% complete and then we heard by email the refinery was going to close.
"Due to the uncertainty over the previous six months I'd been looking very tentatively at employment alternatives, locally, nationally and internationally."
He knew a former colleague was working on the LHC so he looked at the CERN website and saw they were looking for people and applied.
Mr Owen has a five year contract and works on maintaining the liquid helium to cool the LHC's magnets.
"Never in a million years did I think I'd be working in Switzerland and on the Large Hadron Collider.
"My wife was able to move with me and we have a two-year-old daughter who is young enough so it was not disruptive and we were all able to move as a family.
"We have the lake, the mountains, good food and wine.
"But I'm a firm believer in the harder you work, the luckier you become. There was a lot of competition to get this job.
"It's very different from a refinery which is in a competitive industry; this is about getting academic results, which of course you know they share with everyone."
As for Pembrokeshire, he said he could not imagine giant employers there in the future, but smaller ones in industries like renewable energy.
Mark Shone, 51, a former contractor - contractors are not included in the official figures.
He has children aged 20, 17 and 15 and had been "lucky" to find work at Murco in his home town for the last five years. Now he would be prepared to go away to work.
"Between contracts" at the moment, he has already worked in North Lincolnshire and South Humberside. Previously he has worked all over the UK and offshore and lived in London for 22 years.
"It was a big blow to the local community for local jobs even contractors like myself who once again have to travel further afield for employment, leaving their family and friends at home," he said.
"I have always tried to seek employment where I live with my family, and have been fortunate enough to watch my children grow up.
Tom Johnston, ex-refinery operations manager, had worked at Murco for 12 years. He set up his own business with five colleagues called InSite Technical Services.
It offers project design and consultancy and has work as far afield as Bolivia, South Korea and Kuwait.
"It's really taken off," he said.
"For the first few months it was about business development and we were getting a lot of support from the Welsh government, Pembrokeshire Lottery and county council but we're getting more and more busy and getting business from local energy companies and further afield."
They have taken on eight former workers and looking to take more on.
Paul Thomas, 55, a senior technician for nine years, stayed on at Murco until recently but is now unemployed.
The ex-Royal Navy man is one of a new round of 41 people losing their jobs between June and the end of August.
"We've had support at the refinery by Penna [HR consultants] but apart from that I can't see a lot happening around the town or county to help people find work.
"I'm hoping to get back into the refinery in some capacity but possibly I'll have to go away to work. It could mean leaving my partner behind."
He is now claiming Job Seekers' Allowance after being employed since leaving school in 1976.
"I'm fortunate I haven't got a mortgage or young children to look after but I've got to start earning or anything I received from the refinery will be gone in no time."
OTHER BUSINESSES AFFECTED
Main Port Engineering in Pembroke Dock makes pipe work and steelwork and a third of its business was with Murco. It had to make 95 of its 257 workers redundant.
"If you take in all the suppliers and contractors and where Murco spent its money in the county you must have been talking about 1,200-1,500 people [affected], said managing director Dave Harris.
"We're now working on fuel terminals all over the country, renewing pipe work, we're making up a little of what we lost."
"The Pembrokeshire economy has always been resilient and it will come back up, we've had closures like the Esso power station and Gulf refinery. We will get over it but it will take time."
The Murco taskforce held its last meeting in April, although the Welsh government has told us some of the work will be continued by the Haven Waterway Enterprise Zone Board.
It is clear the impact of the closure of the refinery is still being felt across Pembrokeshire.

In one message William used the pet name "babykins" and in another told her he had almost been shot with blanks.
An unnamed male also left a message for Prince Harry impersonating his then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
It is the first time the jury has heard that the Duchess of Cambridge's phone had been hacked.
Former NoW editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson are on trial with then royal editor Clive Goodman and four others, accused of a number of offences, which they all deny, including conspiracy to illegally intercept voicemails.
Prince William was undergoing officer training at Sandhurst in 2006 when he said he "nearly got shot" with blank rounds during a training exercise in Aldershot.
In another message, the prince said he was going "beagling" - hunting with beagles - and invited his future wife to go with him.
A message he left on the duchess's phone was discovered at the house of Mr Goodman in 2006, prosecutor Andrew Edis told the Old Bailey.

The prince, now the Duke of Cambridge, opened one message to his girlfriend by saying: "Hi baby. Um, sorry, I've just got back in off my night navigation exercise."
He went on: "I've been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting horribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment's ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot.
"Not by live rounds but by blank rounds, which would have been very embarrassing, though."
When the exercise story was reported in the News of the World the paper said that Prince William had been shot with blanks, even though this did not actually happen.
In court Mr Edis also quoted from a jokey message left for Prince Harry by a male impersonating Chelsy Davy saying: "You are the best looking ginger I have ever seen."
At the time the NoW said the message had been left by his brother William.
The message, which was found at the home of private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, went on: "It's lovely out here in Africa and hopefully I'll see you very soon you big hairy fat ginger."
Police also discovered a message left for Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, an aide to the princes, by Andrew Ritchie, William's commandant at Sandhurst.
The message, found at Mulcaire's home asked Mr Lowther-Pinkerton to call about "an incident at the ball last night".
It appeared to relate to a story which later appeared in the NoW - headlined "So Silly Willy" - in April 2006.
It said: "Boozy Prince William and his gang of braying pals outraged guests at Prince Harry's passing out ball with his drunken antics."
The jury saw an email from Goodman to colleagues sent on 14 April 2006 which said William and his friends were "upsetting other guests with their braying hooray henry antics".
"A lot of the cadets are from normal non-aristo backgrounds and found the royal party's behaviour offensive. William himself was sent upstairs to bed before the ball ended. Another was regaling guests with an anecdote about how his wallet had been stolen by a hooker the night before," it said.
It was noted that the events did happen and William was drunk, plus he was also sent to bed early and his friend did pretend to be a brigadier, but it "was not that bad".
In the email it is noted that William was making a strong defence regarding what happened that night.
It added: "Interestingly, Kate was not there. On the list but no show. No love lost between her and Chelsy."
The trial continues.
A converted try from prop Brian Mujati gave Sale the perfect start but Pau then led 10-7 as Daniel Ramsay's score followed a Thibault Daubagna penalty.
Sharks centre Mark Jennings crossed to ensure the hosts led at half-time and Joe Ford's penalty made it 17-13.
Pau's Quentin Lespiaucq-Brettes and Sale's Sam James swapped tries before Jonathan Mills secured a bonus point.
There were never more than seven points between the two sides in an extremely close contest, until replacement lock Mills touched down in the final seconds.
The Sharks lost their opening match 30-12 to Welsh club Newport Gwent Dragons, while Pau's first pool match was cancelled following the Paris attacks on 13 November.

The 22-year-old recovered from a break down in the fifth before converting his fourth match point in the tie-break to win 6-1 2-6 6-4 3-6 7-6 (8-6).
"It took everything. I could not dream better than that," the world number 25 said after his four-hour victory.
Pouille will play compatriot Gael Monfils, who beat Marcos Baghdatis.
The defeat means that 2016 is the first year since 2004 in which Nadal, 30, has failed to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final.
"I am close to being 100% again and I believe I can have a couple more good years," said Nadal whose most recent Grand Slam title came with his ninth French Open in 2014.
His best runs since have been two quarter-final spots at the 2015 Australian and French Opens.
"I fought to the end today but I needed something that was not there. I will keep working to try and find it."
Elsewhere Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, also of France, ended American interest in the men's singles by beating Jack Sock.
His win gave France three men's quarter-finalists at the American Grand Slam tournament for the first time in 89 years.
The ninth seed will play world number one Novak Djokovic, who beat British number four Kyle Edmund in straight sets.
Fourteen-time Grand Slam champion Nadal had dropped only three games in an emphatic win in the pair's only previous meeting, but Pouille has been on a steady rise through the rankings since that 2015 defeat in Monte Carlo.
On his first appearance on the centrepiece Arthur Ashe court, he showed why with an assured touch at the net and a relentless determination to attack his groundstrokes.
Having led two sets to one, it seemed that Pouille might have to be content with valiant defeat when Nadal moved 4-2 up in the decider.
But the Wimbledon quarter-finalist prised his way back into the match and it was Nadal who faltered in the tie-break, netting a short forehand at 6-6 to hand his opponent a fourth and fatal chance to close out the match.
"With three match points I thought, 'you are going to win this one'. At 6-6, I was not the same. Honestly I am the most happy in this tournament," added Pouille, whose last three matches have gone to five sets.
Great Britain Davis Cup captain Leon Smith on 5 live sports extra:
Lucas Pouille has everything, he has a big serve, is not scared about coming forward to the net and has a strong forehand and backhand. There is no hole in his game and someone is going to have to play really well to beat him.
Nadal does not have the speed that he used to have and makes a few more unforced errors. He is not as clinical as he was in his prime. He is still playing very well, but is not playing as well as he used to.
The hosts led when Chris Lowe drilled in from the spot after the defender was brought down in the box by Floyd Ayite.
But in a five-minute spell Scott Malone levelled from a tight angle and Tom Cairney's penalty put Fulham ahead.
Stefan Johansen fired in a rebound to make it 3-1 and the Norwegian robbed Jonathan Hogg to complete the scoring.
A win for Huddersfield would have sealed their play-off place but they remain five points clear of seventh-placed Leeds, who were beaten at Burton.
Fulham, the Championship's top scorers, also benefitted from Leeds' slip-up as Slavisa Jokanovic's side now have a three-point buffer in sixth.
Ayite, who conceded a penalty for the opener, won the spot-kick which put the Cottagers in front as he was felled by Hogg.
A less eventful second half saw Rajiv van La Parra curl wide for the Terriers, while Collin Quaner was denied by Marcus Bettinelli when through one-on-one.
David Wagner's side have now gone 11 games against Fulham without winning, while seven of Huddersfield's 13 league defeats have come against sides currently occupying the top six.
Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner: "It's still in our own hands and we have three games left. We have shown unbelievable consistency all season and we have been in the top six virtually the whole season. In my opinion we have been the most consistent team in this division so far.
"Fulham are a great side and deserved their win but we played a big part with the errors we made. Defeat hurts, of course, but I have been able to trust the players who made mistakes over the whole season and we move on.
"The start we made probably cost us as we lost focus and concentration and against a team like Fulham you need to focus. To move on you have to know why you lost and we know why we lost."
Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "I am very happy at how we are at this time. We are solid and this is important for us. To win 4-1 is a great result but perhaps I miss the clean sheet.
"The team showed great character and confidence and we were very brave. We scored four goals but it could have been more. Our standards are improving and this is exactly what we have to do.
"I am not looking at the table. I am only thinking about the next game. Now we need to rest and concentrate on the regular part of this competition."

The dinghy was found taking on water in rough seas after the Italian coast guard received a satellite phone call.
It diverted the merchant ship to rescue 26 survivors and bring them to Italy.
A spokesperson for the coastguard said similar boats used by people smugglers could hold 100-120 people, and were usually full.
Rough seas and waves topping two metres (seven feet) hampered rescue efforts.
No details of the nationalities of the migrants, who were brought to the island of Lampedusa, were immediately available.
Around 27,000 refugees and other migrants have reached Italy by boat so far this year, most of them setting out from Libya.
Officials expect the number attempting the illegal crossing to rise because countries in the Balkans have shut their land borders.
At least 800 migrants are feared to have drowned in the southern Mediterranean this year to date.
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.
Scotland smashed home Louis Longridge's through ball to ensure Livi still have not beaten Accies since 2012.
Kyle Jacobs had stabbed Livi ahead on 64 minutes after Accies' left-back Stephen Hendrie had been booked twice.
The hosts also squandered a first-half penalty when Marc McNulty thumped off the top of the post.
So Hamilton eek out a point in unlikely circumstances and drop two behind leaders Dundee, who thumped Cowdenbeath.
Livi have now gone three games without a win and their outside chances of a play-off spot might have been smothered by Scotland's leveller.
From the off, the hosts looked like the team going for the title, Mark Burchill and McNulty both forcing Kevin Cuthbert into good saves.
The illuminous boot of McNulty then struck a venomous 25-yard free-kick, which Cuthbert palmed over with one hand.
Longridge had Accies's only clear-cut opportunity apart from their goal, his low angled effort making Darren Jamieson work just before the break.
Referee Stephen Finnie gave Hendrie his marching orders on 54 minutes after the 19-year-old left-back held back McNulty on the right.
And 10 minutes later Livi made the advantage count, Jacobs netting his first since rejoining the West Lothian side from Kilmarnock.
Scotland's equaliser was against the run of play and could have been made irrelevant had McNulty not scuffed a great opportunity to get his 18th of the season in the dying seconds.
The former soldiers, who were working on an a US anti-piracy ship, maintain their innocence.
Their families, who met with the Foreign Office's Hugo Swire in Carlisle, said the government is not doing enough to help them.
Prior to the meeting, rallies were held in the city and in Oban, Scotland.
The men are:
They were working for a company protecting merchant shipping in the Gulf of Aden against Somali pirates and were detained in 2013 when it strayed into Indian waters.
Weapons on board were ruled not to have been properly licensed.
After charges were quashed then reinstated, they were convicted in January 2016 and sentenced to five years behind bars.
Mr Armstrong's sister, Joanne Thomlinson, said: "The conditions are not good, they sleep on a concrete floor, conditions really you would expect inside an Indian prison."
Yvonne MacHugh, Mr Irving's fiancee, said: "The one thing hurting him the most is not being able to see his [one-year-old] son."
She described prison conditions as "horrendous" in 43C (109F) heat with inadequate water, food and toilets.
Speaking before the meeting, Mr Swire, the Minister for Asia, said: "I recognise what an extremely difficult time this is for all those involved.
"The appeals process is ongoing and as we have previously stated, we cannot interfere with India's independent legal system, but we will continue efforts to make sure this case is resolved swiftly."
A fresh appeal will be heard next month.
It comes as a setback to the country's effort to eradicate the deadly disease.
Sierra Leone was celebrating last week when it discharged its last known Ebola patient from hospital.
News of the new case means the country is no longer Ebola-free. High-risk contacts of the woman have been identified, isolated and will now be watched for symptoms.
The National Ebola Response Centre is assessing whether to isolate the whole village of Sella in the Kambia district where the woman, who was in her mid-60s, died.
The end of the outbreak will only be declared six weeks after the last Ebola patient either dies or tests negative for the virus.
At the height of the outbreak, Sierra Leone was reporting more than 500 new cases a week.
Meanwhile, in Guinea there were three confirmed cases in the week up to 23 August.
The last known Ebola case in Liberia was discharged on 23 July. | Brendan Rodgers is not ruling Celtic's Moussa Dembele out for the season, hinting the striker could recover in time for the Scottish Cup final.

The Amaq news agency said Shishani was killed in combat in the town of Shirqat, south of Mosul in Iraq.
The Pentagon said in March he had died from injuries sustained in a US air strike in north-eastern Syria.
Shishani's real name was Tarkhan Batirashvili but he was also known as Omar the Chechen.
The red-bearded jihadist was said to be a close military adviser to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The confirmation came on the Amaq website, which IS regularly uses to issue news and which had denied the Pentagon's claims in March.
Amaq said he died trying to repel forces campaigning to retake the city of Mosul.
It did not specify when, but the statement conflicts with the US claims made in March.
It said its strike on 4 March had taken place near the north-eastern town of Shaddadi, where Shishani had reportedly been sent to bolster local IS forces.
Last year, the US offered a $5m (£3.5m) reward for Shishani.
It said he had held numerous senior military positions within the group, including "minister of war". | A news agency linked to so-called Islamic State has confirmed the death of key leader Omar Shishani, who the US said it killed in March. | 36,789,635 | 275 | 34 | false |
Four weeks of work that started on Monday to upgrade Ullapool harbour means only foot passengers are being taken between Ullapool and Stornoway.
Vehicles and freight must be taken to Uig on Skye to be ferried to the isles.
Skye councillor Drew Miller has raised concerns about the additional pressures this will place on the A87.
He told BBC Alba that more traffic than usual was using the trunk road.
Transport Scotland said it did not expect traffic to be "significantly higher" than normal when considered on an annual basis, or when compared to busy summer weeks.
A spokesperson added: "We are fully aware of the importance of the trunk road network to communities in this area and, like always, it will kept under regular review by our operating company during this period to ensure that any defects are detected and repaired as quickly as possible."

Councillor John Wilmot has resigned to become an independent councillor for the Hucknall First Community Forum, which he has formed.
It follows the resignation of Ian Campbell, who left the party without a majority in August.
The Conservatives have called on Labour, which said it will continue to run the council, to form a coalition.
Mr Wilmott, who was deselected as a candidate for next month's district elections in Ashfield, blamed "in-fighting" within the party for his resignation.
"It's been a terrible time and it's really affected my health," he said.
Labour remains the largest group at the county council with 32 councillors but no political party has an overall majority.
There are 67 councillors in total, so any group requires 34 members to form a majority, with the Conservatives the closest with 21.
Conservative leader Kay Cutts said she wanted committees to better represent the new political make-up of the council.
"They should probably think of having a coalition of all parties so we can take this council forward for the next two years," she said.
Council leader Alan Rhodes said the party will continue to run the council.
"We live in a democracy - we won the county council in 2013," he said.
"We're developing our Labour program based on our values and what people told us to do. We will continue to do that as long as possible."

Peckham Vision, which represents businesses, churches and community groups, said local people are being forced out due to rising costs.

Ferguson was visibly enraged after Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir sent off Nani for a high challenge on Real's Alvaro Arbeloa after 56 minutes with United leading through Sergio Ramos's own goal.
Real took advantage of the dismissal with quick goals from Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo on his return to Old Trafford to confirm a 2-1 win on the night and 3-2 aggregate victory to reach the last eight.

United assistant manager Mike Phelan replaced Ferguson at the post-match media conference and said: "It's a distraught dressing room and a distraught manager. That's why I am sitting here now.
"I don't think the manager is in any fit state to talk to the referee about the decision. It speaks volumes that I am sitting here now rather than the manager of this fantastic football club."
Phelan continued: "We are extremely disappointed and wondering what has happened and why it has happened.
"We feel as though we had the tactics right for the game on such a big occasion. We felt we were comfortable at 0-0. It was where we wanted to be, then we scored the goal that put us in a commanding position.
"We were in reasonable control and then the game totally changed. The decision was amazing but we had to carry on because it is hard enough playing Real Madrid with 11 men.
"Referees are there to make decisions but there is also an element of doing the right thing. All the media and a television audience watching all over the world will have an opinion on the decision but it was a disappointing one and it spoiled the game."
Simon Hamilton said Northern Ireland had a "wealth of experience" in dealing with mental trauma during the Troubles that the new service could build on.
He has been working on the plan since last year, but the funding announcement coincided with a mental health summit.
The cash will meet "early set-up costs" to get the service "off the ground".
The minister said the first aim of establishing the new service was to "comprehensively address the legacy of the Troubles and address un-met mental health needs".
Mr Hamilton will attend the opening day of the mental health summit, hosted by Action Mental Health.
He described the issue as an "absolute priority" for his department and added Northern Ireland was the "only part of the UK to see an increase in spending by trusts on mental health in the last two years".
"While our mental health services have come a long way in the last decade, we have much more to do and I am committed to further reform and innovation," the minister said.
In 2013, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt proposed that an international trauma centre should be built as an alternative to the Maze Peace Centre in County Antrim.
Mr Nesbitt, who has campaigned for better mental health provision, made the suggestion after £18m in EU funding was withdrawn due to political disagreements over the peace centre on the former prison site.
The Calderdale Flood Commission said authorities must "act now" to deal with the "immediate issues and future risk".
Almost 2,000 homes and more than 1,000 businesses in the Calder Valley were affected by flooding over Christmas.
The report said incidents were "projected to get worse" due to changing weather patterns, climate change and ageing infrastructure.
The commission - set up to consider the "causes, impact and response" to flooding in Calderdale - also said changes in land management and use were major factors in increasing the likelihood of flooding.
Paul Cobbing, chair of the commission, is due to present the report with recommendations to Calderdale Council later.
The full report can be read here
Mr Cobbing said: "We all know that the Calder Valley is particularly vulnerable to flooding but, due to climate change, the threat of more severe and more frequent flood events is increasing.
"We believe the solutions we implement today must not just tackle risk as it exists now, they must also take into account the increasing year-on-year risk."
The report calls for a significant investment in flood risk management in the Calder Valley and welcomes the creation of a board to "coordinate and monitor" flood risk management and response.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs said it was "committed to helping with the recovery" and was investing £52m in flood protection in the the Calder Valley.
It was also looking at making affordable insurance more accessible, a spokesperson added.
Paul Kearney, whose home in Mytholmroyd was flooded when the River Calder overflowed, said: "It's always a worry when it rains, and hearing the report that it's likely to happen again it does make you think hat it could happen anytime soon.
"We just have to hope for the best and hope that the things they do to make the river safer are going to work."
That was the choice one shopper made recently at a Japanese convenience store.
The non-Japanese man was seen openly drinking from a bottle of lemon iced tea which he had taken from the shelf, resulting in an argument with store staff.
"What did I do that was wrong? It's written right there on the label," he apparently questioned angrily.
After an explanation by the cashier, it became evident that it was all lost in translation. Free Tea was the brand name, not an offer of a complimentary drink.
The formerly outraged man sheepishly replied: "The store should change its label."
The heated argument was witnessed by Twitter user Domoboku in Tokyo, real name Akiyama Kojiro, who shared his account with his followers.
He told BBC News he had tried to help translating for the foreigner and the staffer, but there was a "bad atmosphere".
His take on the episode generated more than 34,000 retweets and was liked by more than 18,500 users, with people sharing their own experiences of linguistic confusion.
The confusingly named tea is a product of Japanese beverage giant Pokka Sapporo.
The drink "encourages people to be free from a stress-filled society," read an official description on its site.
Mr Kojiro, noted the "irony" of it drink's name and health properties, because the beverage clearly did the opposite in this case.
"This tea ended up causing a stressful problem for both the traveller who came all the way to Japan and an honest shopkeeper," he mused.
The abundance of freebies in Japan, like free oolong tea at restaurants and pocket tissues distributed on the streets, could have added to the confusion, he said.
"Foreigners may misunderstand what a wonderful and free country Japan is!"
He also said that Japanese people too were often sometimes confused by language.
"There are many examples of odd Japanese translations," he said.
"Everyone make mistakes. And I want to emphasise that using foreign languages, we need to be generous and understand each other."
The German sailing team said Heil, who was third at a recent test event held at the same Guanabara Bay venue, was told by a Berlin hospital that he had been infected by multi-resistant germs.
Recent water quality tests revealed drug-resistant bacteria in the bay.
"I have never in my life had infections on the legs," Heil said on a team blog.
"I assume I picked that up at the test regatta. The cause should be the Marina da Gloria where there is a constant flow of waste water from the city's hospitals."
Heil's claims come after South Korean windsurfer Wonwoo Cho was taken to hospital during the week-long test event, with his coach Danny Ok claiming the cause was "probably from the water" at Guanabara Bay.
It led to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) threatening to move the sailing and windsurfing events to the Atlantic Ocean if the situation did not improve.
But in a statement following Heil's infection, it said: "While work remains to be done, ISAF, Rio 2016 and all relevant local authorities are confident that the venue will be ready to host 380 sailors during the Olympic Sailing Competition in one year's time."
Three of the courses earmarked for the Olympics are in Guanabara Bay and three are in the Atlantic, with up to 1,400 athletes set to compete in water sports at the Games.
Research has shown that "super-bacteria" found in the water is usually found in hospital waste and produce an enzyme, KPC, resistant to antibiotics.
Nearly 70% of sewage in Rio - a city of some 10 million people - is spilled raw into the waters of Guanabara Bay.
A US appeals court on Tuesday granted a new hearing for Kris Maharaj, 78, who has been jailed for more than 30 years for a 1986 double murder in Miami.
The ruling means that Maharaj's lawyers will be able to present new evidence which they say proves the two men were killed by members of a drug cartel.
His lawyer claims a Colombian hit man killed Derrick and Duane Moo Young.
Maharaj's lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith from human-rights organisation Reprieve, applauded the decision, saying "it is a great day for Kris, and I hope now we will finally get him the justice he has long been denied".
But a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office, Ed Griffith, told BBC News: "We stand by the outcome of the very lengthy and fair evidentiary hearing that Maharaj received in the state court, where the judge found these witnesses and/or claims to not be credible or have any merit."
The defence team plans to present new evidence from six cartel associates to argue that the two men, who were business partners of Maharaj, were killed after members of Pablo Escobar's Medellin drugs cartel caught them embezzling laundered drug money.
The new ruling from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta says "new evidence" would demonstrate that Maharaj could not have been found guilty of the Moo Young murders "beyond a reasonable doubt".
The judgment adds that the statements by the witnesses, which include Escobar's preferred hit man John Jairo "Popeye" Velasque, "independently corroborate one another".
They will also present evidence that one hotel guest on the night of the murders, Jaime Vallejo Mejia, was a member of the drug cartel.
The former businessman, who has been in poor health, had been on death row for 15 years but had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment in 2002.

Alapati Leiua's try gave Samoa the lead but three Sam Davies penalties brought Wales within a point at the break.
Wing Evans' first international try put Wales ahead after 42 minutes, only for Manu Leiataua to restore Samoa's lead.
Wales rallied and Evans' second try eight minutes from the end clinched the victory on a slippery pitch in Apia.
It was Robin McBryde's team's second win on the two-Test tour, which saw them start without 12 players on British and Irish Lions duty in New Zealand and saw a further four called up by Warren Gatland before the Samoa game.
It was revealed afterwards that Wales won despite having 10 players taken ill before the match with a sickness bug.
Ospreys lock Rory Thornton was handed his Wales debut in a side which showed seven changes from the one which had started in the previous week's 24-6 win over Tonga.
Samoa made six changes and a positional switch after a 78-0 defeat by New Zealand in Auckland.
The hosts made the perfect start when following a period of pressure Bath scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i floated a pass to Leiua, who crossed in the corner with Tusi Pisi adding the conversion.
Samoa made life hard for Wales in difficult and wet conditions and a Pisi penalty extended their lead.
Two penalties from fly-half Davies calmed the tourists' nerves as they clawed their way back into the game.
Despite trailing, Wales had a measure of control and Davies' third penalty brought them within a point of the hosts at the break as Pisi failed with a drop goal attempt.
Wales went ahead for the first time within a minute of the second half with a try created by back row forwards Aaron Shingler and Ellis Jenkins.
Shingler charged down Pisi's low kick and from Jenkins' kick and chase the ball was played out to the left wing, where Scarlets' Evans was on hand to cross.
Samoa restored their lead with hooker Leiataua capitalising on sloppy Welsh defensive play to slide over for his side's second try before Pisi added the extras.
But Wales secured victory in the last quarter of the game with Evans, last season's top try scorer in the Pro12, crossing in the corner for a second time.
Wales had lost four times to Samoa before this meeting, and they had to withstand a late onslaught before claiming a sixth win over the Pacific Islanders.
Wales coach Robin McBryde revealed a sickness bug swept the Wales camp, with ten players taken ill before the match.
"We've had a little bit of an illness in the camp and the players could have used that but they dug in so deep," McBryde revealed to BBC Wales Sport.

"I'm just so pleased for the players. It's been such a difficult tour in such a short space of time.
"We put ourselves in a very difficult position. We were 10-0 down early on and Samoa didn't disappoint," he continued.
"We knew they would be physical and get stronger and they did that.
"We didn't help ourselves and hurt ourselves on a couple of occasions but the way the boys dug in and got through the arm wrestle was fantastic really."

The 23-year-old can play at right-back, centre-half or in a deep midfield role and had a year to run on his deal at the newly-promoted Championship club.
O'Connor made 24 Burton appearances last season, scoring once.
"His versatility made him very attractive to us," manager Derek McInnes told the club website.
"He has a good defensive edge to his game and he has good experience for someone so young.
"He has a good maturity about his game so I am very pleased we now have him on board. I think he is someone who will prove to be really important to us over a campaign.
"Anthony is good in both boxes and also good in the air. He is another in the squad with a bit of height and presence."
O'Connor began his career at Blackburn and had loan spells at Torquay and Plymouth before joining Burton last summer.
The Dons have not revealed the length of contract O'Connor has signed but he will be eligible to play in next week's Europa League qualifier with Fola Esch of Luxembourg.

The competition goes on for 23 days, with nearly 200 cyclists from all over the world taking on the 2,000 mile challenge.
Here are the Brits to look out for...
Chris Froome is not only top of the Brits, he's the Tour's reigning champion and favourite to win again this year.
He has won the race three times already: in 2013, 2015 and 2016.
Now he's hoping to add 2017 to his list.
He's not had the best run-up to this year's event though - he finished fourth in the traditional warm-up race, the Criterium du Dauphine, so he'll be hoping to pull it out of the bag for the real thing.
Mark Cavendish is most famous for his daring sprint finishes, which have brought him lots of success in previous years of the Tour.
It's not just the overall winner who matters in the Tour de France - each stage of the race has a winner as well, and that's where Cavendish does best.
He's had an incredible 30 stage wins, which is just four fewer than the all-time record holder - Eddy Merckx.
The flat roads on this year's tour will suit Cavendish's style, but he's also suffered from illness this year which might have affected how well prepared he is for the 23-day challenge.
2017 is Geraint Thomas's seventh Tour de France, and he rides in support of Chris Froome - helping to push him to victory.
Thomas wasn't actually planning to ride in the Tour this year. He was concentrating on another competition, called the Giro D'Italia instead.
But he had to withdraw from that race after a collision with a parked motorbike, so he's changed his focus to the Tour de France instead.
Simon Yates is just 24 years old, and his twin brother won the White Jersey for being the best young rider on last year's Tour.
Yates specialises in climbing, so the steep mountain roads in the Tour de France suit him well and he'll be hoping to have similar success to his brother!
Steve Cummings has raced in the Tour de France four times before, and has had two stage wins.
It wasn't clear if he would be part of the 2017 Tour, after he got injured in a crash earlier this year.
But after a great week at the British National Road Championships, he was finally confirmed to take part.
2017 is Dan McLay's second tour.
He's a sprinter, and won an impressive four top-ten finishes during his first Tour de France in 2016.
He came 170th overall in 2016, but being a fast sprinter, like Mark Cavendish, could put him in with a chance of a stage win.
Luke Rowe is a 'domestique' rider, which means that he works for the benefit of the team, rather than trying to win the race himself.
He's best known for helping teammate Chris Froome who he's supported on both of his last two Tour victories.
Ben Swift is another sprinter appearing for his second Tour de France in 2017.
As well as having speed, he's also known for getting over lumps and bumps on the road better than most sprinters, which is a useful skill on the Tour!
2017 is Scott Thwaites' first appearance at the Tour de France.
As well as getting through the race himself, he's hoping to help Mark Cavendish in the battle for stage wins.
Vilson Meshi, 30, was found dead inside an Audi A4 on Pincey Mead near Pitsea Road, Basildon, on Saturday.
Two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old, all from the town, were arrested on Wednesday night.
They are still being questioned over the death, police said. A post-mortem examination found he died from smoke inhalation.
Mr Meshi's friend, Anthony Chooah, has described the victim as a "cuddly bear".
More on this and other stories from Essex
Mr Chooah said he was at a loss to understand why anyone would kill him and was struggling to come to terms with the attack.
"He was probably one of the nicest people you could ever meet," he said.
Mr Chooah added: "I've been spending a lot of the last four to five days in constant tears, having anxiety attacks.
"He was a big cuddly bear... but someone has taken his life."
But there's one group of people with whom President Donald Trump is still hugely popular.
After his first weeks in office, his approval rate among Republicans of 86% is second only to that of George W Bush among all of the party's presidents elected in the last 65 years.
So what are the things that they like so much?
Despite being a Republican, property developer John Delia says he was "too embarrassed" to vote for Mr Trump in November's election because of the controversy about his candidacy.
But he says he was "relieved" to see the New York billionaire win the race - and what has happened since has pleased him even more.
Mr Trump's platform of new jobs, American business and economic renewal has sent the US stock market to record highs. It is investors like Mr Delia who are feeling richer as a result.
"I invest in the stock market and I have succeeded in the short term," says the 26-year-old, based in Columbus, Ohio.
"Investors are definitely feeling more confident. They think Donald Trump is going to bring more jobs and infrastructure, and help us move forward."
From a business perspective, he says he is not fazed about allegations of improper ties to Russia, legal challenges to Mr Trump's travel ban, or complaints about racist rhetoric from the administration.
"Yes, he's a bigot but at least you are aware," says Mr Delia of the US president. "He speaks honestly.
"No matter what happens, most investors just want to make money. We are not going to pay attention to the drama. We're just trying to stay ahead of the curve."
And it is especially Mr Trump's promise to "clean up" America's inner cities that makes Mr Delia, who started his own property portfolio at 20, feel positive about the future. He hopes investment will pour into his own urban development projects.
"I think I'm going to make a lot of money," he says.
The next interviewee asked to remain anonymous, because he says the polarised political climate in the US has left him feeling "a bit paranoid".
"I often feel the country is being torn about and being a white/Christian/conservative makes you a hater and a racist," he says.
But in a social media conversation spanning several days, the 36-year-old coal miner from Indiana explained how Mr Trump's presidency was having a direct impact on his life.
Before the election, the father-of-four says he expected to lose his job in coal within five years, but with Mr Trump in office "it could be as many as 15".
He puts this down to the president's cancelling of an Obama-era environmental regulation known as the "stream protection rule". The bill put restrictions on coal companies wanting to expand and tried to stop them dumping mining waste into streams and waterways.
While environmentalists point out that the rise of cheap natural gas has contributed largely to decline in the US coal industry, the Indiana coal miner we spoke to says the policy put a "stranglehold on coal companies".
"During 2016 our company was in the process of getting permits to strip some land that would add life to the mine," he says.
"The permitting process was put on hold concerning a impact study on the land. Management told the miners that if we didn't get any new permits and most of them were on hold indefinitely, we would be out of work in a few years."
Now Mr Trump has lifted the rule, he feels "hopeful" that he will be able to continue the work done by his great-grandfathers for years to come.
"Some people really dislike the coal industry... but it's the best paying job around and I'm blessed to be able to work and support my family."
Marilyn De Reggi was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer just a month before her late husband, Aime, had his first stroke.
The 76-year-old says her experience of having to "fight hard" for him - while being unwell herself - left her with a low estimation of government-subsidised healthcare.
She welcomes Mr Trump's efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare as "extremely important". And while she also supports Mr Trump's tough immigration policies, she sees his push of an alternative system as one of the best things he's done so far.
The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, helped 20m previously uninsured Americans get health insurance by making it a legal requirement.
However, increases in insurance premiums - which were also a problem before the health law - have irked many Americans. Critics have also decried it as an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals.
Mrs De Reggi, a retired musician and teacher who lives just outside Washington DC in Maryland, says the cost of President Obama's signature healthcare plan has left younger members of her family struggling.
And although medical costs for her and her late husband were covered by Medicare (a different government-run programme available to elderly patients), this made her "very aware" of the problems with federal involvement.
"I encountered the worst of care with my husband and the limitations of government making decisions for you," she says.
The couple went through "a lot of savings" after Aime was denied access to certain sorts of care under Medicare because of his age and condition, she says. Instead they had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure the treatment they wanted.
She is now against "the government making medical choices". "I'm interested in a programme gives people a choice and where there aren't committees that decide what happens to you at a certain age," she adds.
"I think the thing that [Mr Trump] has done so far that will have the greatest long term impact on the law is the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court," says David Rogers, a housing lawyer from Texas.
"I think he brings predictability in the law. The law is not going to change dramatically and that is good."
The Supreme Court has the final legal word on many of the most sensitive US issues. Conservatives celebrated the selection of Judge Gorsuch to fill an empty seat on the bench because of his views on issues such as birth control and euthanasia.
But it is his approach to gun rights that particularly pleases Mr Rogers.
The 52-year-old says he expects the judge to protect the Second Amendment - which guarantees the rights of people to keep and bear arms - because he is known to maintain a strict interpretation of the US Constitution.
"I believe in guns," says Mr Rogers. "Going to the gun range is something I do at the weekend with my children... With Gorsuch, I feel like I don't need to worry that's going to be taken away."
Judge Gorsuch's appointment still needs to be confirmed by the Senate. But if it goes ahead, "Washington isn't going to actively make my life harder", says Mr Rogers.
"Gun rights feel safer under Trump."
The letter was sent by the Nantwich Education Partnership group to parents from 16 schools in the county.
The heads claim games such as Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty contain unsuitable levels of violence.
They warn parents they could be reported for neglect in some cases.
The heads state that playing such games or accessing certain social media sites can increase early sexualised behaviour in youngsters and leave them vulnerable to grooming for sexual exploitation.
Mary Hennessy Jones, the head who drafted the letter, said: "We are trying to help parents to keep their children as safe as possible in this digital era.
"It is so easy for children to end up in the wrong place and parents find it helpful to have some very clear guidelines."
Prime Minister David Cameron announced this month that adults in positions of responsibility could face prison sentences of up to five years if they failed to report allegations of the neglect or abuse of children.

Police notes read out revealed a social worker had confirmed the pair were at least known to each other - a few days after she went missing in August 1994.
Arlene, 15 from Castlederg went missing after a night out at a disco in County Donegal in 1994.
Her body has never been found.
Det Con Gareth Jenkins told the inquest in Belfast that the Omagh-based social worker had confirmed that a "relationship existed".
He added: "What sort of relationship that was, without having anything written down, it would be unfair to comment further."
She was last seen with convicted child killer Robert Howard, who died in prison last year.
Howard was acquitted of Arlene's murder by a jury unaware of his long record of sex crimes, including the murder of a south London schoolgirl. He always remained the police's prime suspect in Arlene's death.
Howard, 71, had been due to give evidence before the inquest. He died at HMP Frankland in County Durham last October.
The court also heard that social services found Arlene had a poor attendance at school, was a smoker and drinker who did not go anywhere without make-up or money and who "looked about 19 years old".
There was also a brief mention of a "relationship" with a second older man.
At the time she was living with her brother, Martin Arkinson, in Castlederg and had, on occasion, gone missing, staying with her father or another relative. However, she had always made contact within 48 hours.
After two days family members told social services that Arlene was missing, but it took two more days before police were informed, the court heard.
The initial missing person investigation had two main lines of inquiry - that Arlene had travelled to Birmingham to obtain an abortion or that Howard was involved.
Although he was aware Howard had been on bail for serious sexual offences, Mr Jenkins said he was unsure whether he was still signing bail when the schoolgirl vanished.
"It was not a criminal investigation at this stage where I had taken my initial answers," he said. "It was not solely focused on Robert Howard. It also focused on the possible travel to England."
The police investigation was heavily scrutinised during Howard's trial.
Mr Jenkins said he had done everything possible but, as a junior officer, could not decide the course of an investigation.
"I had raised my concerns about irregularities in the accounts that the three or four people had given," he said.
Meanwhile, the court has heard harrowing details about an alleged sex attack carried out by Howard.
"I was terrified," said the victim in a statement read out to the court.
In another development, the coroner has requested further clarification on the public interest immunity application request by the Police Service of Northern Ireland to withhold a number of confidential documents.
Another behind-closed-doors hearing may take place on Friday to discuss the matter but this has not been confirmed.
The inquest has been adjourned until next week.
Police were made aware of alleged racial abuse at around 07:40 BST on a tram travelling towards the city centre after a video was posted online.
Two men, aged 20 and 18 and a 16-year-old boy, were detained on suspicion of affray, Greater Manchester Police said.
The video shows a man on a tram at Shudehill being called "an immigrant" and told "get back to Africa".
Footage indicates that the man targeted then retorted with: "How old are you? Are you 18, 19? You are extremely ignorant and not very intelligent. Do you know that?"
One of the men continued to shout "get off the tram now", as he spoke.
One of the group, who were holding beer bottles, then apparently approaches the man and flicks alcohol at him, as a passenger shouted: "There's a baby there - there's absolutely no need for that".
As the youths got off, the victim said to himself: "Seven years in the military," as other commuters told the three, "You are an absolute disgrace. A disgrace to England".
Police said the suspects were being held in custody for questioning.
The Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (TWITA) says it wants bus firms to run services on particular routes and be paid a set amount.
The authority say the Quality Contracts scheme would "simplify" bus fares and make them "more affordable".
But bus operators say the idea is "flawed" and want to try and block it.
Under the new scheme, the five councils that make up the transport authority will keep the fares collected, but they will then have to make up any shortfall between this money and the cash paid out to bus companies.
The authority also claims the idea would enable some loss making routes to be kept open.
In recent months bus companies in the North East have made cuts and changes to services that have angered many passengers.
The North East Bus Operator's Association (NEBOA) says the Quality Contracts idea is "flawed".
Chairman Kevin Carr said: "The quality contracts are going to be very very expensive.
"They do rely on passenger growth and if passenger growth is not there then it could be very very expensive and the ratepayer will have to subsidise the difference."
He added that legal action could be a possibility if the two sides cannot agree.
"At the end of the day the business would be at risk and we just couldn't afford to lose a business within the north-east of England and therefore we'd have to do everything in our power to ensure we maintain our operation," said Mr Carr.
Houghton and Sunderland South Labour MP Bridget Phillipson has set up a petition to drum up support for the Quality Contracts idea, collecting hundreds of signatures.
She says councils in the region are already putting tens of millions of pounds into financing bus travel and wants them to have more control.
She said: "What this system would deliver is greater transparency about how that money's being spent but also it would give local people more of a voice because they are frustrated that there isn't one simple ticketing system, that they don't have a say when routes are cut."
However, not all politicians are convinced that the Quality Contracts idea, which is already operating in London, is the best way forward.
The Integrated Transport Authority is also considering another idea - a new partnership between bus firms and councils.
Some think adopting this idea could be a middle way and end any danger of legal action.
Newcastle Lib Dem Councillor Greg Stone is a member of TWITA.
He said: "What could be achieved by a voluntary partnership arrangement between the public and private sectors would lead to better results for both sides on this.
"I think the way we're going is going to lead to a war between the transport authorities and the bus companies.
"That will only end up hurting the passenger in terms of the cost to the taxpayer and the cost of a legal battle which I think is looming large on the horizon now, and with the way the Quality Contracts proponents want to go I can't see the bus companies taking this lightly."

A 0-0 draw against Slovakia and a 3-0 win for Wales over Russia means Hodgson's side will face the runners-up in Group F - potentially Portugal.
England drew 1-1 with Russia before beating Wales 2-1, but failed to score with their 30 shots against Slovakia.
"Soon we will make someone pay, we will score goals one day," said Hodgson, 68.
"You just don't know, the way we are playing I am not frightened of anybody."
Hodgson made six changes for the final group game - including resting captain Wayne Rooney - but did not believe that his rotation cost his side against a stubborn Slovakia.
Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge both started after scoring as substitutes against Wales on Thursday, while Jordan Henderson, Jack Wilshere, Nathaniel Clyne and Ryan Bertrand also came into the starting XI.
Rooney replaced a lacklustre Wilshere 10 minutes into the second half but Hodgson defended his selection of the Arsenal midfielder.
"If people are going to pick on one player that's a pity - Jack Wilshere did fine," said the 68-year-old.
"People were trying to tell me after the Russia game that I should have changed Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. It was actually four changes from the side which finished the Wales game. You can't have it all ways.
"When did England last come to a tournament and have three such dominant games in a row? We have taken the game to the opposition, we have controlled the play."

The pundits on BBC Sport were not so kind, however - with John Hartson accusing Hodgson of taking Slovakia lightly.
"England totally underestimated Slovakia," the former Wales striker said.
"Six changes was far too many. Wales needed to win against Russia and they made one change."
"Roy Hodgson got it wrong," said Robbie Savage.
"There are too many excuses from the England point of view. You have got to score to win games and they haven't done it.
"They played Slovakia and they can't break Slovakia down - too many excuses."
Former England duo Chris Waddle and Danny Mills were frustrated at the team's failure to break down a side with a packed defence.
England had 65 shots on goal in their three Group B games - but scored just three goals.
"England have got no width. James Milner would give you width, he can do a trick and put a cross in," said Waddle.
"It's easy to say now, but they knew in all three games that people were going to sit deep and frustrate England."
"Why change the two full-backs when Kyle Walker was playing well, Danny Rose was playing well," added Mills.
"Those players will now have 10 or 11 days between games, that's too much."
Former England captain Alan Shearer felt Hodgson missed the chance to build on their last-minute win over Wales.
"I didn't agree with Hodgson making that many changes as I think it is vital to get momentum," said Shearer.
"In Euro '96 we beat Scotland and our confidence was sky high, and then we beat the Dutch 4-1. It was a great opportunity for Roy and this team to do that."
But former England midfielder Danny Murphy defended the display.
"We have played better than a lot of people expected us to and overall I think we are moving forward," he said.
"Finishing second shouldn't harm us that much, there are so many positives to look at from this England side at the moment."

The tournament runs on a four-year cycle but has been brought forward a year to avoid clashing with the Sevens World Cup and Commonwealth Games in 2018.
The pool stages in Dublin are already sold out, debutants Hong Kong provide a compelling underdog story plus England and New Zealand are packed with talent - so what else do you need to know about the 2017 tournament?
As reigning world champions and the number one side in the world rankings, everyone wants to knock England off their perch.
But the Red Roses are in confident mood heading into the tournament, having beaten perennial rivals New Zealand away from home in June, and will be the only team in Ireland who have trained full-time since January.
Despite recent confirmation that full-time contracts for XVs are ending, the team have known since April and say they won't let anything disrupt their defence of the title.

The 26-year-old flyer has petrified players on the sevens field for years, with her stunning side-step and raw speed seeing her score numerous tries, and the Olympic silver medallist and former World Sevens Player of the Year has now switched her focus back to XVs.
The daughter and niece of former All Blacks, her rugby pedigree runs deep and whether on the wing or in the centres, she will be one of the most potent threats over the next two and a half weeks.
There are two tough pools in this World Cup and Wales, ranked 10th in the world, have arguably found themselves in the toughest.
Pool A sees them line up alongside four-time champions New Zealand and 2014 runners-up Canada, the sides ranked number two and three in the world.
The fourth team are debutants Hong Kong, who are ranked 23rd, and although Wales will hope to beat them, can they upset the other two sides?
The Wallaroos won the first ever Olympic sevens gold medal in Rio but XVs has never been their strong point, and with their focus on the shorter form of the game they have only played a handful of Tests in XVs since the last World Cup.
Captain Shannon Parry, who tasted success in Rio, says they're underdogs but thinks it makes them more dangerous as the pressure is off.
The pool stages in Dublin are already sold out and fans are trying to get hold of tickets by any means. A party atmosphere is being predicted, and those lucky enough to have tickets will be able to enjoy a fan zone as well as the rugby.
After just two weekends of the Six Nations in February, 2.2 million fans had tuned in to watch the women's Championship.
But at the last World Cup in Paris, 2.5 million viewers watched the France v Canada semi-final on TV and it is no mistake that Les Bleus' kick-offs are all prime-time back home. Can they deliver this time for their supporters?
It's a first for Hong Kong - no team of either sex has ever qualified for a World Cup previously. Don't expect the team to be all smiles though - they've been drawn in Pool A with Canada, New Zealand and Wales. Gulp.
The Italians are back at the World Cup for the first time since 2002. Now ranked ninth in the world, it is also the first time they have qualified by right, as previously they were invited to take part. Much credit goes to the patient pair of Veronica Schiavon and Sylvia Gaudino, who played back in 2002 and have been selected again for 2017.
Most teams get good luck messages before heading overseas for big tournaments - the Black Ferns had one from two-time World Cup-winning All Blacks captain Richie McCaw. But surely one from Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau tops the lot. We can't see British Prime Minister Theresa May encouraging players to "stick a tackle"!
In 2014, Ireland's women became the first Irish side to make a Rugby World Cup semi-final and they are aiming to make at least the last four once again.
Hopes are that home advantage in 2017 will propel them even further, but they need a change in fortune after losing captain Niamh Briggs to injury less than a fortnight before the start of the tournament.
If they are to lift the trophy in Belfast on 26 August, they will have to do so without their inspirational full-back and leader.

The move is part of a proposed shake-up of stroke services across the five health trusts.
Every year, there are almost 3,000 hospital admissions and more than 1,000 stroke deaths in Northern Ireland.
According to independent health reports, Northern Ireland's stroke services fall below national standards.
Currently, services are spread across 11 hospital sites. However, specialists would argue that expertise is being spread too thinly and that it is denying some people access to the best of care.
A stroke victim's experience
Gary, 45, had a headache that did not respond to over-the-counter painkillers. He went to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital later the same day.
"They spotted whatever the signs were, they thought initially it was either a migraine or a stroke," he said.
"It came as a complete shock to me, particularly because of my age.
"I thought stroke was something that, maybe, older people got and I think maybe the statistics bear that out, but people of all age groups get strokes.
"It is important, the time element, because the quicker you get seen and get the clot-busting drugs... the better the outcomes are for you."
Dr Brid Farrell, a consultant in Public Health Medicine from the Public Health Agency, said the current system does not provide the very best of care to patients.
"Stroke service here is provided by skilled, dedicated and hardworking staff, but the current organisation of services sometimes makes it difficult for staff to consistently provide the very best care to patients."
Two recent independent reports have highlighted the need for change including the regulator, the RQIA, raising that there was not a clear regional model for delivery of stroke care and that there seemed to be an unsustainable number of hospitals providing stroke care.
Without a doubt, the move will result in fewer acute stroke units across Northern Ireland.
If the specialism is to be confined to about four hospitals it would mean other hospitals would provide a clot busting treatment for the patient before they are transferred, if required, by ambulance to a specialist unit.
There are a total of seven proposals which, if agreed, would mean a major overhaul of the service.
The proposals include providing an appropriate number of hyper-acute stroke units in order to deliver specialist early inpatient care to the most seriously-ill patient.
Other services will include seven-day assessments to those men and women experiencing a suspected mini-stroke (TIA) or clot busting treatment "thrombolysis" at fewer hospital sites.
The location of the most critical units will be controversial. In fact, BBC News NI understands that for those hospitals that lose their specialist stroke unit there could be huge implications for their status as an acute hospital in the future.
The move would be the first significant test of health reform as proposed by the Bengoa Health Review.
In a highly unusual move, civil servants have said it is necessary to have a "conversation" about reform before the actual consultation begins - indicating just how sensitive this is.
Both stages will last about 12 weeks.
While some might see that as constructive, others might describe it as time wasting.
Nowell has impressed for Exeter since returning from injury in December.
"I hope he can maintain this form and drive himself into the England side," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon.
"Then show form in a very good England set of performances in the Six Nations and he gives himself a fantastic opportunity to go on a Lions tour."
Nowell, 23, has won 18 England caps and was part of the side which whitewashed Australia on tour in the summer of 2016.
But, having missed the start of the season because of thumb surgery, he managed just one replacement appearance against Northampton in September before being injured in England's training camp in Brighton in October and spending two more months on the sidelines.
"He's playing extremely well. He's worked extremely hard, he's had a frustrating injury period and he's worked hard through that," added Baxter.
"He's reaping the rewards for the hard work that he's put in. You're also seeing him reaping the rewards for the team getting him on the front foot as well.
Nowell says playing for the Lions is an ambition of his, telling BBC Radio Cornwall: "I performed at Exeter and that got me my chance with England.
"The next step, if I do get a chance to play for England, is perform well and then the Lions does come next."
Winston Rea was one of dozens of former paramilitaries who provided testimonies to Boston College's Belfast Project.
A judge was told the police needed tapes of Mr Rea's interviews in order to meet a legal duty to probe serious crimes spanning three decades.
Mr Rea had issued proceedings to try to stop the PSNI obtaining the material.
However, on Monday a judge said the police were entitled to seek the tapes as part of an extensive investigation into terrorism.
Mr Rea's legal team is considering taking the case to the Court of Appeal.
The Boston College interviews were given on the understanding that tapes would not be made public until after the deaths of the interviewees.
However, in 2013 detectives investigating the 1972 abduction and murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville secured transcripts of former IRA woman Dolours Price's account.
That material was handed over following court battles on both sides of the Atlantic.
Mr Rea, a former loyalist prisoner, had sought to judicially review the Public Prosecution Service's (PPS) attempts to obtain his interviews.
Kane scored two late goals for Spurs as they came from behind twice to beat West Ham on Saturday and maintain their unbeaten start to the league season.
The 23-year-old, who missed seven weeks of this season through injury, has five goals in seven club games in 2016-17.
"Harry Kane is always very important, he is our main striker," said Pochettino.
"You miss that type of player when he does not play for 10 or 11 games.
"He is one of the best strikers in the world."
Kane's brace provided a dramatic finish to Saturday's match at White Hart Lane.
West Ham had led twice, through a Michael Antonio header and Manuel Lanzini penalty, either side of Harry Winks' goal for the home side on his Premier League debut.
But, in the final minute, Kane was on hand to finish Son Heung-Min's low cross before scoring the winner from the penalty spot after Son had been tripped by Winston Reid.
It leaves Spurs fifth in the table, three points behind joint leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
"The table looks much better, we are three points off the top and 12 unbeaten from the beginning," added Pochettino.
England international Kane said: "What a win, it looked like it would be a disappointing afternoon. I thought we had played well and we left it late, what a night, what a performance.
"We wanted to win and give the fans something to cheer about and a lot of them will go home happy."
Tottenham's next game is in the Champions League at Monaco on Tuesday. The London club are currently third in Group D, four points behind the French side and two points and a place behind Bayer Leverkusen with two to play.
"It is an important week and we didn't want to go into that game having lost the first one," added Kane. "It is a must-win game, we're excited, we'll train tomorrow and travel on Monday."
The verdict follows an unannounced inspection by Ofsted inspectors.
Social services was told to review its child protection plans immediately including cases that have been closed in the last three months.
The council described the report as "deeply disappointing" and pledged to make extra funds available for investment in the department.
Chief executive Sheila Wheeler, said: "We now have the right people in the right place doing the right things.
"Ofsted has recognised our investment in the service and our appointment of a nationally recognised interim director of children's services, Peter Lewis, to steer us through the changes we need to make.
"We do acknowledge that our speed of change has not been fast enough."
By Ruth BradleyPolitical reporter, BBC Somerset
The 17-page report lists a range of failings: vague child protection plans, different social workers visiting children each time and children taken off plans too soon.
But a strand running through seems to be ineffectual managers.
"Management decisions often lack a clear rationale," Ofsted says. "Management oversight of cases is not robust;" and "cases are being held by team managers…delaying assessing children's needs."
While there was good work it was down to the individual social workers rather than effective management.
An interim director of children's services, Peter Lewis, was brought in this April. Presumably the council is hoping he will lead from the top.
She added £1.4m had been invested in children's services for the current year and some improvements had been made already.
Peter Lewis was appointed by the government to oversee changes in the London borough of Haringey in the aftermath of the Baby P scandal.
Currently, there are 300 children and young people subject to child protection plans.
Inspectors found these plans were being closed too soon in some cases.
On the shortcomings in such plans, the report stated: "Very few child protection plans are sufficiently specific.
"They do not give clear indications of what needs to change and by when, and so do not support the monitoring and review of progress by core groups and review child protection conferences.
"As a result, decision-making about reduced risk is not always sound, and some child protection plans have ended too soon."
Senior managers at the Conservative-run council have been told they must all sample the child-in-need work across the county to check risk indicators had not been missed.
Risk indicators can include domestic abuse, or drug and alcohol misuse by the child's parents. It could mean some children will be put back on plans.
Peter Lewis, interim director of children's services, said: "We would hope the evidence is there to support those decisions but our first duty is to the child and to make sure the child is as safe as we can possibly make them."
A number of areas of improvements must be completed within timescales of three and six months following the visits by Ofsted in June and July.
This includes improving the quality of assessments and reducing delays for children and young people who need access to mental health services.
The pair entered a house in Dorothy Road, Leicester, at about 10:30 BST on Wednesday, and attacked the man who lived there.
They stole a safe containing cash, watches and other items before leaving in a van.
Leicestershire Police said they did not believe the raid was racially or religiously-motivated.
A video filmed by a neighbour and posted on Facebook appears to show the pair arriving at the house.
Det Con Nev Walker said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw the men entering the house, loitering in the area or making off in the van.
"Do you know where the silver van went next? Have you seen any abandoned clothing? Have you heard any rumours about who may be involved?
"Small details will help us piece together information and could prove vital in bringing those responsible for this incident to justice."
The Australia Twenty20 captain picked up the foot injury during the T20 Blast victory over Durham on Friday.
The 28-year-old, who has scored 76 runs in six T20 Blast matches this year, underwent hamstring surgery in April.
"In a worst-case scenario, it could be the end of the season for him," director of cricket Martyn Moxon told the club website.
"He set off to run for a ball in the field on Friday and he felt a little crack in his foot.
"He's had a scan and, from an initial reading, it looks as though there's some kind of a stress reaction."
Moxon confirmed that fellow Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell would cover for Finch if he were ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Defending champions Yorkshire have had several issues with their overseas players this campaign, with Pakistan batsman Younus Khan pulling out of a short-term deal with the club.
Khan was replaced by India's Cheteshwar Pujara, who played in the first half of the season.
New Zealand's Kane Williamson will join the club for the final three games of the Championship campaign.
On a summer night in January, Sofia's family took her to a restaurant in Iraja, a suburb of Rio, where she could use the play area outdoors. It had a big, colourful slide, where children could climb up some stairs and come out through a tunnel to the ground.
From inside the restaurant, Sofia's parents watched their two-year-old daughter. The play area was protected from the street by a gate so, in a city with shocking levels of crime, families felt the children were relatively safe there.
Being safe in Rio is always a top concern. Iraja, a busy middle and lower middle-class neighbourhood of around 100,000 people in northern Rio, is surrounded by some of the city's most violent areas, and criminals are quite active there.
Like on that Saturday night. Police were sent to the streets next to the restaurant to investigate a car robbery, something frequent in that area: an average of four cars a day were robbed there in 2016.
Police officers had set up a barricade after identifying a suspect, but the man did not obey calls to stop and, according to reports, tried to escape.
A chase began.
Sofia's father, Felipe Amaral Fernandes, said she was especially happy on that night. "She had told my wife: 'Mummy, I'm very happy today'. She didn't even want to eat."
Herica, the mother, was proud of her daughter, who could already count from one to 10 in English. Sofia also enjoyed dancing to music clips in front of the television, and was in love with the pink, purple and blue scooter "Papai Noel", or Santa Claus, had given her last Christmas.
"She was smart, intense. Sometimes she didn't even want to sleep because she only wanted to enjoy herself," Ms Fernandes said. One time, she said, Sofia was asked about what she loved the most in her life. Sofia replied: "Enjoy myself".
Sofia was playing on the slide when the police chase neared the restaurant. At around 22:00, a shooting started.
The sound of gunfire was loud and close, and the families who were in the restaurant went to the play area to pick up their children. Sofia's parents, now also outside, waited for her to come through the slide. "I screamed 'Sofia, Sofia!'," Ms Fernandes said. But her daughter did not answer.
Sofia's father looked inside the tunnel, but she was not there. He went to the other side of the slide, and climbed it. "That's when I saw my daughter up there, motionless, bloodied. I broke into the toy, took her from there and ran."
Sofia had been shot in the face.
"I got desperate seeing my little daughter there. I felt impotent," said Mr Fernandes, a police officer. "I'm used to violence around me but I never thought this was going to happen to my daughter. When it happened I thought: 'My goodness, not with me'."
He carried Sofia in his arms. People in the restaurant stopped a police car that was passing nearby, and it took father and daughter to the hospital. The crowd watched in disbelief.
Shootouts are part of life in Rio.
Despite Brazil's tight gun laws, rights groups say millions of weapons are in the hands of criminals. Tougher regulations were approved in 2004, banning the carrying of guns in public and controlling illegal ownership. But activists say they are incapable of curbing illegal gun trade and that bandits have been largely unaffected.
The reasons for shootouts vary. Some are the result of clashes between rival criminals; others, of armed robberies, like the one in Iraja. But rights advocates say they mainly occur during police operations against heavily armed drug gangs in impoverished neighbourhoods, where some groups are the de-facto rulers.
And civilians often find themselves in the crossfire. "These police operations are badly planned. In many times they happen at daylight, in densely populated areas, with war weaponry being used," said Antonio Carlos Costa, president of Rio de Paz, or Rio of peace, a local human rights group.
Last year, researcher Cecilia Oliveira, who works with rights group Amnesty International, was looking for reliable data about shootouts in Rio. But numbers were hard to come by as there were no official statistics.
So last July, she helped create Fogo Cruzado, Portuguese for "crossfire", an app for people to report gunfire in their neighbourhoods. Between its launch and January this year, according to Amnesty, 50,000 people downloaded it.
The numbers gave a sense of the fear that millions of people live in: there were 2,517 notifications, an average of almost 14 a day. The reports included 539 deaths and 570 injured.
I was shocked by the numbers
Most alerts came from poor neighbourhoods and shantytowns, or favelas, places notorious for their violence. "I was shocked by the numbers. This level of violence is alarming for a city that is not in a war zone. And civilians are the most affected, their freedom and human rights are systematically violated," Ms Oliveira said.
She too blamed poor police operations against criminals for most of the shootouts. Interestingly, the data showed that the hardest-hit areas shared a common profile, she said. "It's very clear that the people being affected by this violence are young and black. You don't see this type of police operation in neighbourhoods that are not favelas."
Rio's military police rejected the criticism towards its operations, saying they are all "meticulously planned" to avoid casualties among civilians.
"In order to prevent criminal actions, systematic operations are needed in places where the criminal wave is more recurrent. And shootings against policemen when they enter these areas, in many cases, result in victims on both sides," they said in a statement to the BBC.
Lives are often put on hold, as basic services such as electricity, water and transport are frequently interrupted by shootings.
Rio's train operator said last year it was planning to stop services on one line indefinitely because of gun violence next to the tracks.
Shops and hospitals are also forced to shut. In 2011, a suspected drug trafficker who was exchanging fire with police stormed a public health clinic in an attempt to hide himself, terrifying patients inside - he was later arrested and nobody was hurt. The clinic then temporarily suspended works due to insecurity.
Schools and universities in dangerous neighbourhoods have often cancelled classes, sometimes for days, affecting thousands of students. In some areas, teachers and children were being taught at school how to look for cover in the case of gun fights.
Two years ago, shootings around some schools in Mare, one of Rio's most violent areas, were so frequent that teachers decided to cut the classes short: they would start later, at 08:00, and finish one hour earlier, at 15:30. That, they said, was because shootouts often occurred at 07:00, when police officers changed shifts.
"Civilians in Rio's favelas end up in the crossfire, being victims in their own houses. They are forced to live under these circumstances, which is absurd," said Ivan Marques, executive director of human rights group Instituto Sou da Paz.
"The anti-drug policy in Brazil chose this wrong option, of militarising the issue. You have an enemy, not a criminal. And this is the collateral effect of this war between police and the organised crime."
And then there are the stray bullets.
In 2003, Luciana Novaes was in the canteen at her university in a neighbourhood in northern Rio next to a favela, when a shootout erupted between drug traffickers and police. Shops nearby had closed because of the violence, but the university had not.
It was around 09:00. Ms Novaes, who was 19 at the time, was in a break between exams when a stray bullet hit her in the jaw. She said she could not miss the exam because of the scholarship she had from the university.
The bullet went on to injure her vertebrae, leaving her quadriplegic. "It's a very difficult situation. There is no day, no time, no place. I was inside the university when it happened. People usually avoid getting out at night, but it's risky at anytime," Ms Novaes said.
She spent a year and a half in the intensive care unit of a hospital, where doctors had put her chance of recovery at 1%. If Ms Novaes managed to survive, they said, she would be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life.
That did not quite happen. She slowly recovered her speech and the ability to eat. She is still dependent on mechanical ventilation and on two nurses, day and night. She also undergoes two physiotherapy sessions every day and two speech therapies a week - the university was forced by the Brazilian justice system to pay for her treatment.
And last year, at 33, she was elected the first ever paraplegic councilwoman for Rio - it was such a novelty that the historic building had to be adapted to her needs.
"What we're living in is calamity," Ms Novaes said. "People are crying out for help."
Hers is a remarkable case of overcoming the odds, but it is an exception. Brazil was the country with the largest number of deaths by stray bullets in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2014 and 2015, according to a United Nations report.
The study, which looked into online media reports, said there were 197 incidents, 98 dead and 115 injured - someone is considered a victim when they had no involvement or influence in the shooting.
Nothing new to the people of Rio. In the 1990s, incidents with stray bullets were so frequent that then-Mayor Cezar Maia famously said in a newspaper interview that the city had become a "tropical Bosnia".
We live in an environment of fear
Rio's geography, as Ms Novaes' case shows, is an unexpected contributing factor. Numerous favelas have been built on the hills that overlook the city, meaning that the violence up there, where many of the shootings take place, is felt by those sometimes in neighbourhoods metres away.
The most recent official statistics about stray bullets publicly available are from 2011, when five people died and 41 others were injured. But Rio de Paz, the NGO, has documented incidents involving children: in the past ten years, 31 died in the city, 18 of them between 2015 and 2017 alone.
"The shootings have a devastating impact. This is a generation that lives under threat, under fear of seeing themselves in the crossfire," Mr Costa, from Rio de Paz, said.
"And this tragedy has colour and a social component: it often affects the poorest. The society ignores it because it happens, by and large, away from the richest regions."
Sofia arrived at the hospital already dead.
The senselessness of her death caused an outcry even in Rio, where residents have become so used to crime that they rarely react to violence.
"But this is not an isolated case," said Mr Costa. "We live in an environment of fear. Families live in constant mourning, looking at the picture of the victim hanging on the wall, with the face of a child that will never be seen again."
His group organised a demonstration remembering the victims of stray bullets, and signs with the names of the 31 children killed were put on Copacabana beach in January.
The car being chased by police that night in Iraja stopped only when it flipped on the street. The suspect was arrested and officials seized a gun.
Police said they were investigating how the shootout unfolded and, almost two months on, it was still unclear where the shot that killed Sofia came from.
31
between 2007 and 2017
18
between 2015 and 2017 alone
But activists say many cases end up unsolved, with those responsible for the deaths rarely identified or punished.
Sofia's parents are now trying to resume their lives. "We live surrounded by violence. We see it in newspapers, on television. It's a calamity," her father said.
"We don't want this to happen with anyone else, a child or an adult."
"But we're sure that our daughter is in a place better than ours. She was too good to be in this world." | A second councillor has quit the Labour party in charge of Nottinghamshire County Council in under a year.

Local legends Robin Hood and Brian Clough are already cast in bronze but prize fighter Bendigo has just a concrete sculpture on the outskirts.
Campaigner Ryan Drain believes "the people's champion of Nottingham" deserves a more fitting tribute in a more prominent city centre location.
The city council said it would consider a "firm proposal" for a statue.
William Abednego Thompson, who was born in 1811 in Sneinton, just outside Nottingham, began fighting aged 15 to provide for his family, who were sent to the workhouse following the death of his father.
Three years later he was drawing crowds of up to 15,000 at fights all over country, and in 1839, aged 28, won the All England Title.
Mr Drain, 26, said: "I've seen the Brian Clough and the Robin Hood statues and went to Sneinton to see the Bendigo statue and it broke my heart.
"The hands are missing, it looks as if it's falling to pieces to me. It's not a fitting tribute.
"He was the people's champion of Nottingham and deserves a hell of a lot better."
World champion boxer Carl Froch, from the city, recently spoke out about the state of the Sneinton sculpture, telling the Nottingham Post: "It needs renewing in bronze, like the Brian Clough statue."
And Nottingham North MP Graham Allen tweeted he would like to see "an Angel of the North-size statue".
Mr Drain said Bendigo's story was more than one of boxing success.
"I feel that passionate about Bendigo, particularly his upbringing. He lost his father at 15 and grew up in abject poverty but he came out of that to become a champion," he said.
Mr Drain is hoping to raise funds for the statue through a series of activities, including a bar crawl of the boxer's famous Nottingham haunts, and to boost the campaign's profile by getting some famous names on board.
A Nottingham City Council spokesman said "If anyone came to us with firm proposals for a statue to commemorate Bendigo's life, we would consider them."
Una Crown, who was last seen alive on Friday, was found at her home in Magazine Lane, Wisbech, on Sunday.
A man delivering newspapers discovered the knife in a street close to Magazine Lane on Friday morning, police said.
It is being examined to see if it is linked to the murder. Police believe Mrs Crown, a widow, was set alight in an attempt to destroy evidence.
Det Ch Insp Jon Hutchinson said: "It is still very early and we are keeping an open mind as to the relevance of this discovery.
"We are continuing with searches of the area around Magazine Lane and house-to-house inquiries are ongoing."
Officers will be stopping motorists, cyclists and walkers in the area over the weekend asking people whether they remember seeing anything suspicious last weekend.
A post-mortem examination found Mrs Crown died of stab wounds to her neck and chest.
She was last seen on Friday, but spoke to a friend by telephone at about 17:00 GMT on Saturday.
The body of Mrs Crown was found at 10:45 GMT on Sunday. Her clothes had been set alight but the fire did not spread to the rest of the bungalow.
Det Ch Insp Jon Hutchinson said: "This was a horrific murder of a defenceless elderly woman in her own home.
"The fire damage meant it was difficult to initially establish the cause of Mrs Crown's death."
Police have narrowed down the time of the attack to Saturday night or Sunday morning, as Mrs Crown had spoken to a friend by telephone at about 17:00 GMT on Saturday.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a May 2011 Navy Seal raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and his body was buried at sea.
Navy Seals - special operations commandos - usually abide by a code of silence and do not publicly take credit for their actions.
In the settlement filed at a district court in state of Virginia, Mr Bissonette acknowledged he had failed to submit his book for review ahead of publication.
He also apologised, saying in a statement that he had acted on the incorrect advice of his lawyer.
"It was a serious error that I urge others not to repeat," CBS news quoted him as saying.
"Although I never intended to endanger my former colleagues, I now recognise that failing to seek pre-publication review could place them and their families at greater risk, for which I especially apologise."
The former commando, who wrote under the pseudonym Mark Owen, will have four years to pay the bulk of the money to the government, according to the Associated Press news agency.
He has 30 days to pay $100,000 made from presentations he gave using slides that were not approved by the Pentagon, it says.
His account of the Abbottabad raid has been questioned by another member of the elite Seal Team 6 unit that carried out the operation, who has a different version of how Bin Laden was shot dead.

Last month, Chancellor George Osborne confirmed in his Spending Review that police budgets in England and Wales would be protected in real terms.
It followed fears they would face significant cuts.
Mr Jamieson said: "To protect PCSOs we are having to continue with efficiencies elsewhere, like the number of buildings we own and rent.
"West Midlands Police's funding is still going down, that is why we are having to continue to cut elsewhere to protect our PCSOs.
"The truth is that the pressures on the police are growing, we are dealing with issues like radicalisation, cyber-crime and child sexual exploitation in greater numbers than before, and our funding is still falling.
"There are still difficult choices to be made in the future."
Ms Johnson became the first woman to fly solo from the UK to Australia when she managed the feat in 1930.
Organisers of a festival to mark the 75th anniversary of her death hoped to put her Gipsy Moth on display in Hull.
But the Science Museum in London turned down the proposal, explaining it would cost "several hundred thousand pounds" to move the historic aircraft.
Rick Welton, director of the Amy Johnson Festival, said he was "disappointed" by the decision.
"I'd like to have more detailed discussions about the loan of the aircraft," he said.
"I think it needs a bit more open-mindedness from the Science Museum.
"People in the city would be so excited to have the plane back - I'm sure we could get some kind of crowd funding."
A Science Museum spokesman said: "The Gipsy Moth is one of the highlights of our permanent flight gallery and is seen by more than one million visitors each year.
"We did receive a loan request last August but decided not to lend it as removing the Gipsy Moth would have cost several hundred thousand pounds and caused considerable disruption for visitors to the museum."
Ms Johnson was born in St George's Road, Hull, on 1 July 1903.
Her solo flight to Australia took 19 days and she landed in front of a huge crowd in Darwin on 24 May 1930.
The 37-year-old died in mysterious circumstances during World War Two when the RAF plane she was transporting crashed in the Thames Estuary on 5 January 1941.
Her body has never been found.
The White House cited "grave national security risks and privacy concerns" as the reason for its decision.
Former President Barack Obama voluntarily disclosed more than 6 million records during his presidency.
Critics say the logs allow for monitoring of individuals or groups who may be trying to influence policy.
White House Communications Director Michael Dubke said the administration is following a 2013 federal court ruling that found most of the logs are considered presidential records and are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
He argued Mr Trump has taken steps to improve ethics such as imposing new restrictions on lobbying and opening to the White House news briefing room to outlets that previously did not have access.
Senior White House officials also contend Mr Trump's new policy mirrors what previous administrations have done before Mr Obama.
The Obama administration began releasing visitor records in September 2009 in response to legal challenges.
The policy had some exceptions, which included private visits to the Obama family and those in attendance for "sensitive meetings", such as potential Supreme Court nominees.
But the records were not made available immediately and sometimes took months before they appeared online.
White House lawyers also redacted names for national security concerns and other reasons before the logs were made public.
In 2012, Mr Trump criticised Mr Obama for concealing names.
Under the new directive, records of those entering the White House complex will be kept confidential until at least five years after Mr Trump leaves office.
But White House agencies such as the Office of Management and Budget and the US Trade Representative may be subject to Freedom Of Information Requests.
Earlier this week, a coalition of watchdog groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration with the aim of publishing the visitor records.
The Obama administration published the logs on a White House-maintained web page. Since Mr Trump took office, the page has been shuttered.
White House officials said on Friday they would no longer maintain the web page and said it would save taxpayers $70,000 (£55,867) by 2020.
Democratic lawmakers have also proposed legislation that would require the Trump administration to disclose the names of visitors at other places where he conducts business, including his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Mr Trump has been widely criticised for his lack of transparency. He has repeatedly refused to release his tax returns, breaking with decades of precedent.
Thousands of protesters are expected to march on Saturday in cities across the US calling on Mr Trump to release his personal tax returns.
But has the decision over which Isa (Individual Savings Account) to invest in got any easier?
The Isa allows parents, grandparents or family friends to invest in cash or stocks and shares for their children's future.
Six million children are eligible for Junior Isas, but only around 300,000 parents are actually choosing to invest. Many are still confused about what type of Junior Isa is right for them.
Junior Isas come in two forms - a cash Isa or a stocks and shares Isa.
Research from Isa provider Family Investments shows only a small proportion of those who have chosen to open a Junior Isa have decided to invest in stocks and shares.
This is despite the fact that stocks tend to outperform cash, meaning the returns you get if your Isa is invested in the stock market could be much higher.
Yet, there is also risk that the investment can fall further in value than cash.
Carolyn Moore is a professional caterer and mother to one-year-old Tilly. She says she wants to save for her daughter's future but is confused about which option is best for her.
"There are so many Junior Isas out there," says Carolyn. "The cash one and the shares one, and there is not a lot of time to go and investigate all those, especially with my daughter around, so it gets really confusing where to start and you end up doing nothing."
Carolyn says she is planning to look into Isas for Tilly because she wants to help when she becomes an adult.
"It's good for them to have a good start when they turn 18," she says. "Although I think a lot of parents also worry that they do all the saving and then their children spend it all, but I suppose that's where you try and teach them the value of money, we hope!"
The research from Family Investments shows over the 12 months to October, money invested in certain stocks and shares would have offered a return of more than 15%, whereas the same amount of money invested in the best buy cash Isa would provide a return of just over 3%.
Christine Ross, head of wealth planning at SGPB Hambros, believes stocks and shares are a better bet for someone investing for the long haul.
"If someone is going to invest for the very long term, and by that I mean more than 10 years, in cash in real terms, the money is probably going to lose its buying power," she says.
"Interest rates are very low at the moment and inflation, the rate at which prices increase, is growing faster than the amount you get in interest.
"Over the long term, and for a child that could be the next 17 or 18 years until they get the money, that money could buy a very small proportion of what it can buy today."
However, not everyone agrees that taking a risk is the best idea for parents.
"I think it can be a bit confusing for parents trying to work out which Junior Isa to choose," says financial expert Sarah Pennells, founder of Savvywoman.
"If they go down the stocks and shares route they should, over the longer term, do better.
"The problem with investing in stocks and shares is that there isn't just one fund available so you've got to pick your fund first of all and secondly you've got to look at the charges because they can make quite a difference, especially over the longer term."
A fifth of parents say they do not understand enough about investments and the stock market, according to the research from Family Investments, and more than 40% of those questioned do not want to take risks with their child's money.
"Stocks and shares are risky but there are different ways of making your investments less risky," says Christine Ross. "One way of doing that is to invest over a longer term, another way is to spread your money well - they call it diversification but all it means is spreading your money around, not having all your eggs in one basket."
It seems parents feel more of a responsibility when it comes to their children's savings than with their own and can be more risk averse.
The advice from experts is to have a look at what is available and choose something that suits you and your child - to provide a nest-egg in years to come.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was jailed for 19 years at Hull Crown Court on Monday.
He raped his granddaughter and sexually abused other children in his care over a nine-year period while he was a Hull City Council-registered foster carer.
His neighbour recorded sounds through their shared wall.
The neighbour, who also cannot be identified for legal reasons, said she and her family became suspicious after her husband "saw the man acting sexually inappropriately" with one of the children in the back garden.
She said they also heard screams and other "odd" sounds from next door, which prompted them to set up a microphone.
"We heard a lot of smacking, proper skin on skin slaps, and it happened about 10 times."
One night in September 2010 the family were woken up by "screams, bangs and crashes", she said.
"It was so loud we all came running downstairs... and it was such a commotion.
"The woman was shouting 'you're evil' and the man saying 'but I was only laid with the [child]'.
"The argument carried on outside with lots of abuse and swearing... we couldn't believe it and we just thought of the children."
She submitted the recording to police, which subsequently led to the children being removed from his care and him being de-registered as a foster carer in 2012.
The neighbour said the case had had a devastating impact on their lives.
"It was horrendous and it just put a really big strain on our family. It was awful.
"It's something that's been with me and my family for seven years and it's something that's never left me.
"I've tried to move on with things but it's always at the back of my mind."
She said she had been left "anxious and depressed", but was now relieved the former foster carer had "finally" been sentenced for his crimes.
The green, red and white of the Mexican flag will be everywhere as tens of thousands of Mexican-Americans and other Chicagoans gather to celebrate the Fifth of May or Cinco de Mayo.
That is the day the Mexican army defeated the French invasion against all the odds in the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
In Pilsen, they will mark the occasion with a parade of elaborate floats, mariachis, local beauty queens and talented horsemen. And, being a celebration of Mexico, you'll be able to find good food, music and chelas (beer).
Particularly the beers.
"In Chicago, the Cinco de Mayo is a marketing ploy to sell alcohol," says Vincent Rangel, the President of the Mexican Civic Association of Illinois, and long-time resident of the city.
"I've been in Chicago for 63 years, and we're dumbfounded at how the date has taken on a life of its own. Especially when you consider that it's really not celebrated in Mexico, unless you're actually from Puebla."
That, says Mr Rangel, is the great irony of the raucous Cinco de Mayo party in the United States: it's a far bigger affair north of the border than it is in Mexico itself.
These days, it has an important political dimension too.
President Barack Obama celebrated the Cinco de Mayo with a group of prominent Hispanic leaders on the Rose Lawn. They were served tuna ceviche and lamb in tamarind mole as President Obama used the occasion to garner support for the Dream Act, a bill to grant legal status to undocumented young people.
Meanwhile in Mexico City, the day is likely to pass off like any other Saturday. Few bars will be doing anything out of the ordinary, and there is no sense that this is the "Day of Mexican Pride" as it has been dubbed in the United States.
Apart from in one particular neighbourhood towards Mexico City's international airport, Penon de los Banos. Here, the recreation of the Battle of Puebla has been held for decades and all day the small barrio will reverberate to the sounds of muskets, canons and blood-curdling battle cries.
And, of course, there will be a huge event in Puebla itself.
The picturesque city is where, 150 years ago to the day, the Mexican army under the command of General Ignacio Zaragoza, supported by indigenous warriors carrying machetes, drove out the French troops of Napoleon III.
"Mexico was between two fires," says Juan Pablo Salazar, the official historian of Puebla. "Either we embraced the United States or we embraced Europe."
At that fork in the road, he says, the Battle of Puebla was crucial in determining the future direction of Mexico by choosing to defend its fledgling sovereignty from the invading forces.
The nature of the victory was crucial too.
"The French assumed they'd flatten everyone, particularly the indigenous tribes who had no military technology," the historian says. But the Indians, supporting a vastly outnumbered Mexican army, came out to fight from all over Puebla.
"They were very poor, simple people and they fought with their souls. You can imagine the political importance the United States made of the victory. It was a way of telling France: 'This is ours, America is for the Americans'."
The tale of the outnumbered and weaker Mexicans claiming an unlikely victory against one of the most powerful militaries in the world adds to the romance of the Cinco de Mayo, says Juan Pablo Salazar. It is a story which has been celebrated by successive Mexican governments for a century and a half.
On Saturday, thousands of modern-day soldiers will take time away from military matters in Mexico to recreate the battle in front of President Felipe Calderon.
Back in the US, there are still a lot of misconceptions about the Cinco de Mayo, says Mexican-born Chicago resident, Vincent Rangel.
"Most people think it's Mexican Independence Day," he chuckles. (That's actually on 16 September.)
"We home-grown Mexicans laugh a bit at the half-price margaritas and the buckets of Corona beer for five dollars. I know of Irish pubs that have Cinco de Mayo specials, it's bizarre."
But, he adds, for fear of sounding like a killjoy, the older generation aren't trying to rain on the parade.
"I think it's encouraging when people ask us 'What is this Cinco de mayo thing all about?' "
"I explain to my friends who are Germans or Poles or Jewish that, for me at least, it's a moment for quiet reflection about the great sacrifice people made 150 years ago to get us to this point."
Scottish businesses involved in developing medicine and treatments for humans, animals and plants currently turn over more than £4bn a year.
The Scottish government wants to build on this success by fostering more collaboration and innovation among the 700 life science companies in Scotland.
The industry currently employs more than 37,000 people across the country.
The Life Sciences Scotland Industry Leadership Group is now launching a new strategy to grow the business.
Dave Tudor, the industry chairman of Life Sciences Scotland, said: "This is an exciting time for life sciences businesses in Scotland. I am delighted with the shape of our refreshed strategy and the strategic themes that have been identified.
"We now need focus and alignment from across the sector as we create the working groups that will plan and coordinate the delivery of this strategy. I look forward to working with everyone to ensure success in the future."
About £300m has been invested in the sector over the past three years, according to LSSILG, with a number of other international companies also looking to expand in Scotland.
A big part of the life sciences industry in Scotland is based in Edinburgh's "bioquarter".
Ian Wilson, the chief executive officer of Edinburgh Molecular Imaging, told BBC Scotland that being part of a wider community was vital to the company's success.
"What we do is very difficult and it's a journey that we can't do on our own. So being part of a bioquarter we are connected to a world-leading hospital - Edinburgh Royal Infirmary - and we can connect with clinicians and key scientists there who will help us on our journey to get these agents to market.
"Being in that tight community in Scotland actually helps us be more effective and hopefully we can get these important diagnostics to patients as quickly as possible."
The industry group is is co-chaired by the Business and Innovation Minister Paul Wheelhouse, supported by Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell.
Mr Wheelhouse, said: "These statistics published today show the value of the life sciences industry to Scotland, providing employment for over 37,000 people, with company turnover in excess of £4.2bn - up 29% between 2010 and 2014.
"I welcome the publication of this ambitious industry-led strategy for the life sciences, which support the aim to increase annual turnover by a further 90% to £8bn by 2025.
Mr Wheelhouse added that the sector was a "key driver" for innovation and had a strong impact on employment in and around Scotland's cities.
Julia Brown, from Scottish Enterprise, said: "I am delighted to see the impressive expansion of the sector over the past few years, which is the result of concerted collaborative efforts from the Scottish life sciences community.
"Scottish Enterprise will continue to work with the Life Science Scotland ILG, industry and all life sciences sector stakeholders to keep the momentum and achieve the ambitious growth targets outlined in this strategy."
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Counter Terrorism Command detained the man in a street in the city on Thursday afternoon.
He is being questioned on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Two properties in the city are also being searched.
Police said the arrest was pre-planned and was as a result of an investigation by the MPS Counter Terrorism Command supported by the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit.
There was police activity in the Grangetown and Riverside areas of Cardiff on Thursday afternoon but Metropolitan Police refused to confirm if it was linked to the arrest.
The BBC understands the arrest is related to alleged Islamist terrorism.
Three-quarters of family doctors in Scotland who took part said the amount they have to do "at times has a negative impact on quality of care".
Scotland has the highest proportion of concerned GPs, according to the British Medical Association national survey.
A quarter (25%) said their workload was "unmanageable".
A further 17% said their workload "significantly negatively impacts" on the quality of care they can provide.
Three-fifths (60%) of doctors in Scotland who took part in the 2015 national survey described their workload as being "generally manageable" but "too heavy at times".
Only 8% thought having 10 minutes for each consultation was sufficient time, with 63% wanting longer consultations for certain groups of patients - such as those with long-term conditions - and 30% saying there should be more time available for all patients.
A total of 1,844 doctors in Scotland took part in the research, with the BMA saying this represented 37% of all GPs in the country.
When asked what would help them deliver the "essential components of general practice", 75% wanted longer consultation times, 74% believe there should be more GPs and 69% responded that increased core funding for practices would make a difference.
Dr Colette Maule, co-negotiator of the BMA's Scottish GP committee, said: "This survey reflects the immense pressure that GPs working across Scotland are feeling just now.
"The rising workload is simply unsustainable and something has to change otherwise general practice will break.
"Giving us more time with patients, expanding the GP workforce and supporting the practice-based primary care team will help to ensure the quality of care our patients receive remains of a high standard.
"In addition, providing stable funding arrangements to meet the rising costs of providing increasingly complex care in the community will alleviate some of the helplessness that GPs are clearly feeling just now.
"Politicians need to stop fixating on how they can demand more from general practice and instead focus on what they can do to support GPs to provide the quality of care that our patients deserve within the constraints that exist."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "The recently-agreed new GP contract in Scotland will give general practice financial stability, reducing the bureaucratic burden and freeing up GPs to spend more time with patients.
"Individual GP practices determine their appointment and consultation arrangements.
"The length of a consultation will vary depending on the clinical needs of the individual patient and is a matter of professional judgement for the GP."
Ms Robison added: "The Scottish government is determined to continue supporting and sustaining Scottish general practice. Under this government, spending on GP services has increased by £69.7 million or 10%.
"This government's investment in primary care has seen the number of GPs increase by 6.9%. There are now more GPs per head of population in Scotland than England."
Ben Osborn struck the left-hand post for Forest before Robert Tesche saw his 25-yard strike hit the bar.
The R's went close when keeper Dorus de Vries pushed Alejandro Faurlin's curling free-kick on to the woodwork.
Chances were at a premium in the second half, with Forest's Oliver Burke wasting the best of them when released by fellow substitute Jamie Ward.
Both goalkeepers were the main factor in a lively contest.
De Vries twice thwarted Junior Hoilett in the opening period, the first of which saw him dive full stretch to tip an angled drive around the right-hand post.
But QPR goalkeeper Alex Smithies was not to be outdone, touching over Michael Mancienne's far-post header following Tesche's right-wing corner. He also kept out a low drive from Nelson Oliveira, who had scored in six of his previous seven games at the City Ground.
With just under half an hour to go, transfer-window signing Conor Washington was brought on as the Londoners continue to adjust to life without striker Charlie Austin.
Both sides pushed for a winner, but Burke dragged an effort wide after cutting in from the right and the visitors' Leroy Fer headed well over.
The draw means the R's have won just once in 11 attempts since the appointment of manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and they have still never won at Forest in 32 attempts.
Forest manager Dougie Freedman's frustration will be drawn from the fact their long unbeaten run in all competitions has contained seven draws.
"We ask police to go to the places the rest of us couldn't or wouldn't and we ask them to do it repeatedly," Ch Supt John Sutherland tells the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
"For 25 years I've watched colleagues do those things with extraordinary compassion and they do it so beautifully, but I don't think we've even begun to understand the impact it has on them to be exposed to repeated trauma."
The senior Metropolitan Police officer knows from personal experience just how serious the impact can be.
In 2013, after years serving as a frontline police officer, Ch Supt John Sutherland began to feel unwell. He went on to suffer severe anxiety, depression and crippling exhaustion.
After going to see his GP, he was given emergency counselling, prescribed anti-depressants and signed off work.
It has taken him years to come to terms with his breakdown, which he says was caused by the trauma of dealing with the impact of horrific crimes, including murders and terror attacks.
Now, when terror attacks such as the ones in Manchester and Westminster take place, Ch Supt Sutherland says he "struggles" to deal with the extensive news coverage.
"It's the simple trauma of it," he says. "I can't look at the pictures or read much of the coverage because I care too much.
"The second thing I struggle with is my inability to respond in the ways I used to be able to. It is a survivors' guilt type thing, knowing my colleagues are in there in the thick of it but if I was to even try I would be more unhelpful than helpful like offering personal support on the front line or visiting."
Ch Supt Sutherland was a serving officer during the 7/7 attacks, when four suicide bombers killed 52 people in central London and injured more than 700. He was also at the scene of the failed 21/7 attacks, when failed bombers targeted three London Underground trains and a bus in an attempted repeat attack.
Since then, he has worked directly with colleagues who were first on the scene of 7/7 and the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
"The reality is police officers venture into hell and they see things and deal with things and have to make choices that are beyond the comprehension of most of us," he says.
But that bravery can come at a cost.
"From my experience of being at murder scenes, what I understand now is that it would be impossible to venture into those places and not be affected by it. We'd be something less than human if we didn't feel something.
"I didn't understand until years later the extent of the impact of what had I'd experienced and had happened to me," he says.
"It was no single thing for me that suddenly caught up on me after 22 years, it was cumulative."
He has now chronicled his illness and the causes of it in a book, called A Life in Blue: a Memoir.
"As a society we have yet to fully understand the effect of repeated exposure to trauma on police," he says.
Ch Supt Sutherland, who now works in a non-operational role for London's Metropolitan Police, says his experiences during his career were just "normal" for a police officer.
But he says "we don't all react and respond in the same ways".
"If my story was about anything other than mental health, if it was about being shot or stabbed I'd feel no shame at all and would feel proud of myself and people's reaction would be one of equivocation. There would be a wound I could show, but mental health doesn't show up on x-rays.
"I felt desperately ashamed early on about mental illness and some of the bloke stuff of not being strong, that I'd fallen over when colleagues were still on duty - whilst I was curled up at home unable to move."
This week - following the atrocity in Manchester - the terror level in the UK was raised to critical, its highest level. It means another terror attack could be "imminent".
He says that alone places an additional burden on the Met's police officers.
"It is also the realisation that every police officer is an explicit terrorist target. It's in your subconscious," he says.
"That places an enormous burden, but you won't find a single officer batting an eyelid or complaining at all. They do what they do best in these circumstances and get on with it proudly."

Eight eastern Europeans and an American couple became stranded on the island near Whitley Bay on Sunday.
The Cullercoats RNLI Inshore Lifeboat carried them to the mainland.
The Americans said they lost track of time while enjoying the "beautiful autumnal afternoon". The group was later given "suitable safety advice".
Francis Abbot, 71, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, was run over as he tried to cross a road on his way home from a supermarket in April 2014.
Luke Stella, 26, had denied causing death by dangerous driving but was found guilty by a jury last month.
The judge said Stella showed a "callous indifference to what had happened".
During his trial, the jury at St Albans Crown Court heard Mr Abbot was crossing Mutton Lane in Potters Bar on 14 April 2014 when he was struck by Stella's Suzuki.
More news from Hertfordshire
The "bike came from nowhere" as Mr Abbot crossed the 30mph (48km/h) limit road, prosecutor Peter Shaw told the court.
"Mr Abbot emerged from behind a white van, but the Crown said he (Stella) was, in all probability, speeding and not paying sufficient attention," he said.
"The motorbike moved at speed and the front wheel lifted off the road, performing a wheelie," a witness said.
Mr Abbot died in hospital from his injuries. Stella suffered a broken leg.
Stella told police he had no recollection of events before the collision but denied he would have performed a wheelie, saying it was not his riding style.
However, Judge Stephen Warner said Stella, of Park Street Lane, Park Street, St Albans, had not only posted a wheelie stunt on Instagram before the death of Mr Abbott, but after the accident, before being charged, he had posted another clip of himself performing a wheelie.
Jailing him for four years and banning him from driving for three-and-a-half years, he told Stella: "You thought driving like this was something to be proud of."
Its stock jumped by 70%, boosting its market value from £13bn to £19.6bn.
Shares surpassed a near-35% rise in August 1989 when the Japanese company launched Dragon Quest, a fantasy role-playing game, in the US.
Pokemon Go, a virtual reality treasure hunt where players hunt monsters that appear on their smartphones, leads the free-to-download app chart.
It was made available in the UK this week following its launch in the US, Australia and New Zealand.
It was developed by the Pokemon Company, which is 32% owned by Nintendo, and Niantic, which was spun out of Google last year when the search engine giant announced it was setting up Alphabet as its new parent company.
Since then, the Pokémon Company, Google and Nintendo have invested up to $30m in Niantic to develop Pokemon Go.
However, the success of Pokemon Go has not been without controversy.
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington asked people not to play Pokemon Go on their phones during their visit, branding it "extremely inappropriate".
The nearby Arlington National Cemetery also warned off Pokemon players. A spokesman said they had not experienced any problems yet, but wanted to pre-empt any issues.
"Playing games such as Pokemon Go on these hallowed grounds would not be deemed appropriate," cemetery officials said in a statement.
Both locations feature in the new smartphone game.
Mr Ghosh, 49, was suffering from pancreatitis for the last couple of weeks and died on Thursday morning.
Debuting with his 1994 film Heerer Angti (The diamond ring), he made many critically acclaimed films like Unishe April (19 April), Chokher Bali (Sand in the eye) and Abohoman (The eternal).
He won several national and international awards for his work.
Mr Ghosh was well known for his realistic depictions of interpersonal relationships and urban-educated middle class angst.
The director worked with several big stars of Bengali cinema and Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
Mr Ghosh also acted in some of his films, including in Aar Ekti Premer Golpo (Just another love story) and Chitrangada.

Rituparno Ghosh loved dressing as a woman - his sexuality made him stand out from the crowd in largely conservative India.
Initially he wore men's clothes, but in the last few years he completely switched over to women's dresses.
Film analysts say that through his films, writings and acting roles, Mr Ghosh gave a voice to disempowered sexual minorities.
Though mocked by many, he lived life on his own terms and never shied from taking up verbal fights with those who mocked him.
In an industry where women often complain about the sexism of the "casting couch", actresses often spoke about how "safe" and "comfortable" they felt with him.
An extremely well-read and socially active man, Mr Ghosh was popular on social media too.
His 2003 film Chokher Bali was awarded the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival and his last film, Chitrangada, won a special jury award in the 2012 national film awards.
Two days ago, Ghosh wrote on the micro-blogging site Twitter that he had finished shooting his latest film Satyaneshi - based on the legendary Bengali detective fictional character, Byomkesh Bakshi.
As news of his death spread, several actors and actresses arrived at his home to pay their respects.
"I cannot believe that Rituparno is no more. It is very difficult to accept this news. We lost a very promising film director at a very early age," the Press Trust of India quoted veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee as saying.
Many Indian film personalities and fans took to Twitter to express their grief.
"Shocked by passing of Rituparno Ghosh. He was dreaming of getting into what he called his 'next phase'. Hugely creative explorer on film," tweeted director Shekhar Kapur.
"Rituparno Ghosh had great sense of humour. He had a brilliant understanding of human behaviour. Will miss him and his cinema. RIP my Friend," wrote Bollywood actor Anupam Kher.
Noted film critic Rajeev Masand tweeted: "Deeply saddened by passing of Rituparno Ghosh. He understood the human condition with all its complexities and conveyed them with such sensitivity."
A driving instructor was also fined for using a mobile while he had a learner in his car, West Midlands Police said.
Police used an unmarked HGV cab to peer into lorries and inside cars below during a week-long crackdown, which also caught 30 truck drivers.
They were all fined £200 and given six points on their licence.
Inspector Sion Hathaway, from the Central Motorway Police Group, said: "It's disappointing that despite all the publicity around tougher new punishments, and the dangers of distracted driving, many people are still putting lives at risk by using phones at the wheel.
"It's shocking so many HGV drivers were among those we caught: these are professional drivers, ones that should be setting high standards, yet we found 30 truckers phoning, texting or using the internet while driving."
Suzanne Wilson made no plea or declaration when she appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court and she was freed on bail.
Henry Wilson, 71, was found seriously injured at a house in Ayr at about 23:45 on Saturday.
Emergency services were called to the house in Woodfield Road but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mark Bullock, 50, from Stoke-on-Trent, died after he was badly scalded when steam from elsewhere in the system fed into the area where he was working.
John Pointon and Sons was fined £660,000 at Stafford Crown Court after admitting health and safety breaches.
The firm was also ordered to pay £187,000 in costs following Mr Bullock's death in 2011.
Health and Safety Executive Inspector Wayne Owen said: "The cookers in operation at the company form the core part of the business.
"Precautions should have been taken to ensure all avenues which had the potential to allow steam to be fed back into the cooker had been suitably isolated."
John Marshall, 69, from Longbenton, North Tyneside, faces eight charges of indecent assault against three boys.
North Tyneside Magistrates' Court heard the offences were allegedly carried out between 1980 and 1985.
Mr Marshall denied all the charges and was granted unconditional bail before his next appearance at Newcastle Crown Court on 12 July.
The court was told that his team had been based at Wallsend Boys Club.
Clare Irving, prosecuting, said: "He was a coach for a team which was linked to the Northumberland Association of Boys' Clubs which was based at Wallsend Boys Club."
Mr Marshall was arrested as part of Northumbria Police's Operation Tide, which is an ongoing investigation into allegations of child abuse at football clubs in the North East.
Currently third in the world football federation's ranking of top international teams after Spain and Germany, it is also only one step away from qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
But for many Colombians, the team which still captures their hearts is not the current one, but that captained by Carlos "El Pibe" (The Kid) Valderrama in the 1990s.
Not surprisingly then, a soap opera telling Valderrama's story and that of three other iconic players from that squad - including former Newcastle star, Faustino Asprilla - has become the most watched programme in the country.
"To have a TV series making you relive those moments that gave you so much happiness is great," says Edgar Vittorino, the actor who plays Valderrama in La Seleccion, the 60-part series by Caracol Television.
"The series is cheering many Colombians up. It is reminding us of how it feels to be going to a World Cup," he says.
Memories of Carlos Valderrama's squad are particularly vivid because it qualified for three World Cups in a row - Italy '90, USA '94 and France '98.
It also achieved a legendary 5-0 away victory over Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in 1993.
Vittorino was only five years old at the time but he says that when he started playing football in his home town of Barranquilla he would imitate Valderrama and members of his legendary squad.
"When I played with my friends, I would be El Pibe or [Rene] Higuita. I would try to do the scorpion kick with a rubber ball," he says referring to goalkeeper Rene Higuita's trademark back-heel mid-air kick which stunned the world during a 1995 friendly against England.
Vittorino says he never dreamt of playing Valderrama, as he thought he bore little resemblance to the legendary midfielder with the blonde afro.
"I was called for the casting, and turned it down," he recalls.
"Then I saw photos of him when he was younger, I noticed that we did look alike," Vittorino says.
But he knew that to play the role he would have to do more than just don a blonde wig.
He trained three hours a day, studied numerous videos of Valderrama's matches and read almost everything that had been written about the player.
He also met Valderrama at his home in Barranquilla and found the 51-year-old "less reserved than everybody believes him to be".
Vittorino also travelled to Santa Marta, where Valderrama´s father, known as Jaricho, and other relatives gave away more details of the player's life.
"Jaricho told me stuff about his son's childhood that El Pibe didn't mention. You know how parents embarrass you, they tell it all," he says, laughing.
Vittorino also went to the neighbourhood where the footballer grew up.
"I went to Pescaito to capture some of the energy, the atmosphere of that place, to get to know him better and to find out where he came from and why he fought do hard to make it."
It is that fighting spirit which in the eyes of Vittorino, defines Valderrama.
Passion and discipline
"His essence are his passion and discipline," he says.
"I remember Valderrama playing against [Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Felix] Chilavert and [Argentine defender Diego] Simeone, as if he was a lion about to devour them. He was defending the Colombian colours.
"That is why he achieved what he achieved, and that is why he is the undisputed captain, the leader: he had lots of passion. He really loved his team, really loved the country and wanted to make his dream come true: to take Colombia to victory."
Vittorino, for his part, is proud that his portrayal of Valderrama has been praised by the midfielder himself.
"El Pibe is really happy. He reckons I am doing a good job imitating how he talks and acts," he says.
But it is above all the comments from football fans saying that he brought to life the heyday of the legendary footballer which make the actor proud.
"The people I meet on the streets hug me and tell me I've done a good job. They tell me they feel like they're watching El Pibe."
The PSNI, Coroner and Prisoner Ombudsman have launched investigations into the death.
Prison Service Director General Sue McAllister said: "I extend my sympathy and that of the Northern Ireland Prison Service to the family of the prisoner who has died.
"This is a tragedy and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
A Prison Service statement added that ‎"while investigations are ongoing it would be inappropriate to provide any further comment".
A previously secret file from the 1980s briefed Margaret Thatcher on Sir Peter Hayman's "sexual perversion".
Ex-Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong told the BBC his priority had been national security implications, rather than whether he should be prosecuted.
But the file said foreign intelligence did not know of his "vulnerabilities".
The newly released file notes that he kept "explicit records of his sexual activities and fantasies", some of which related to children, but these had not been acted on.
Lord Armstrong, who as cabinet secretary briefed the then prime minister, said in a BBC interview: "I was not concerned with the personal aspect of it or whether he should or should not be prosecuted or pursued.
"That was something for the police and the prosecuting authorities to consider and if they thought that he should be cross-questioned and prosecuted, then he should be.
"My concern with it was with possible implications for national security and international relations."
Sir Peter Hayman, who served as High Commissioner to Canada, died in 1992. He also worked for MI6 and has often been described as an intelligence services "operative".
He was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, the security briefing said.
But it found "no evidence" he had sought to "approach children for sexual purposes".
Despite the fear his "vulnerabilities" might be used to blackmail him, foreign security services had not been aware of his history, the file, made public for the first time on Friday, concluded.
In 1978, he left a package containing paedophilic literature on a bus and was investigated by the police.
They found similar material when they raided his flat.
However, he was never charged, to the dismay of Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens, who raised the case in Parliament in 1981.
The file contains "lines to take" for government officials when asked questions by the media about Hayman's 1978 arrest.
One of these was that there had been "no cover-up".
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said that while much of what was contained in the file had been widely reported in the 1980s, the fact that it had been made public was significant.
"This file has been released after just a week of pressure from media and other people after it was discovered in a Kew public records office database," he said.
"It shows there is a lot of pressure for this sort of material about historical child abuse to be revealed."
The briefing file, covering the end of 1980 and the start of 1981, is entitled "SECURITY. Sir Peter Hayman: allegations against former public official of unnatural sexual proclivities; security aspects".
It was held by the Cabinet Office, but marked "closed" until it was released to The National Archives at Kew, south-west London, on Friday.
The file does not appear to have been uncovered by a review of historical government child abuse records conducted last year by Peter Wanless, the head of the NSPCC.
His report claimed to have made enquiries widely across the government estate and other public services, including the Cabinet Office, where this file was being held.
Home Secretary Theresa May has suggested Mr Wanless may have unearthed a copy but not the original file.
It says most victims were human rights leaders or members of left-wing groups, and calls on the government to provide protection.
Areas with illegal drug crops were the most dangerous, it said.
The UN warned that armed groups were moving into territories previously occupied by Farc rebels.
Under a peace deal signed in November, the Farc rebels have moved to transition zones where they will remain until they fully demobilise.
The UN said the illegal armed groups were fighting for territory and resources.
The UN representative in Colombia, Todd Howland, said the groups were often involved in drug trafficking and illegal gold mining and see activists as a threat.
Mr Howland called on the government to recognise that the deaths formed a pattern and to provide protection to those in danger.
Colombia's Interior Minister Juan Fernando Cristo, said violence against rights defenders could undermine the peace deal.
"We're all interested in facing these threats and these murders because we know that it seriously affects the chances of consolidating peace in Colombia," he said.
Stephen McCrossan was arrested at his home in Kingsmere Gardens on Thursday night by a specialist team of police officers from Belfast.
He appeared at Londonderry Magistrates Court accused of breaching the order by possessing a computer in his home.
He was remanded in custody until 22 October when he will appear for a video link hearing.
A member of the PSNI's public protection unit told the district judge that he believed he could connect the defendant to the charge.
He said McCrossan would be accepting the charge at the earliest opportunity.
In February of last year, the defendant was jailed for three and a half years after pleading guilty to possessing 20,000 images of children being sexually abused.
The images were found on his computers .
He committed those offences between August 2011 and February 2013.
McCrossan was released on license from prison earlier this year and his period on license lasts until May 2016.
The world number two, chasing a 23rd Grand Slam singles title, won 6-1 6-3 in 63 minutes on Rod Laver Arena.
Williams, 35, goes on to face Czech 16th seed Barbora Strycova, who beat France's Caroline Garcia 6-2 7-5.
"She's human, and she is beatable," Strycova said of facing Williams in the last 16.
"This is a Grand Slam, and we are talking that she already won, but I don't like these talks."
Russian 30th seed Ekaterina Makarova came through a dramatic match to beat Slovakian sixth seed Dominika Cibulkova 6-2 6-7 (3-7) 6-3.
Croatian veteran Mirjana Lucic-Baroni also advanced to the fourth round for the first time with a 3-6 6-2 6-3 win over Greece's Maria Sakkari.
Before this year, the 34-year-old Lucic-Baroni's only previous win at the Australian Open came back in 1998.
She next faces American qualifier Jennifer Brady, the world number 116 who followed up her second-round win over Heather Watson by defeating 14th seed Elena Vesnina 7-6 (7-4) 6-2.
Joshua James Corbett, 39, is accused of stalking, burglary and possession of a machine gun, among other charges.
Police found an arsenal of weapons at his California home following his arrest at Bullock's Beverly Hills home in June 2014.
Bullock was at home during the alleged break-in and locked herself in her bedroom closet until police arrived.
Mr Corbett is being held on bail and faces more than 20 years if convicted on all counts.
A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for 8 June, a year to the day of his 2014 arrest.
Mr Corbett was found carrying photos of the Oscar-winning actress and a notebook containing a letter to her.
In the letter, released to the media last month, he describes the Gravity star as his "girl" and describes himself as her "husband".
"You are very special to me and without you in my life there is only misery," the two-page letter reads.
Mr Corbett's lawyer said his client "really thought he was married" to the actress "but doesn't think that anymore".
He said Mr Corbett was "mentally disturbed", had been "getting some help in jail" and had "never intended to hurt Miss Bullock".
A recording of Bullock's 911 call was played at a pre-trial hearing last month, in which the 50-year-old could be heard sounding panicked and tearful.
Matt Cranch, from Newquay, Cornwall, who had only been working as a cannonball stunt man for a few weeks, died after a safety net collapsed at a show on Monday.
An investigation into the incident at Kent County Showground is under way.
Jacob Axtell, 22, originally joined the Scott May daredevil team, based in St Just, with Mr Cranch but left because of family commitments.
Mr Axtell said he was devastated by his best friend's death.
He said: "He was the sort of friend who would do anything for you and he was like that with everyone.
"He knew a lot of people and no one had a bad word to say about him. He did not have a bad bone in his body."
Mr Axtell met his friend when they worked together at the Watergate Bay Hotel, near Newquay, where they shared staff accommodation.
He said Mr Cranch's main hobby was his cars and he often worked on vehicles in his small garage.
Mr Cranch worked as a barman at the Watergate Bay Hotel but left only "a few weeks ago" said Will Ashworth, the hotel's managing director.
He was "extremely popular" at the bar where he worked for three years and everyone was very shocked, Mr Ashworth added.
He said as a barman Mr Cranch was in a "high profile position" and was popular with colleagues in his team and guests there.
"He was always cheerful and very friendly and was a pleasure to be around," he said.
"... I don't think I could over-estimate how popular and what a nice guy he was."
Many tributes have been left to Matt Cranch on Facebook.
Some are from old school friends of the 23-year-old who was originally from the Isle of Man.
They paint the picture of a young man remembered for his kindness, fun personality, as well as his "multi-coloured VW camper van" and old Beetle cars.
He was also remembered for playing in a band while living in the Isle of Man and going to youth theatre.
Ruth Harrison writes on the social network site that he was a loveable character who "made me smile even on a bad day".
While Heather Watson describes him as having "one of the purest hearts I have ever come across".
Following a highly critical report by the Banking Standards Commission in April, Sir James asked for his knighthood to be removed.
The report described him as the "architect" of the strategy that led to HBOS' downfall.
Mr Crosby served as chief executive of the bank between 2001 and 2006.
He was given the knighthood in 2006 after he had left HBOS.
The announcement, which came in the London Gazette, said: "Letters Patent dated 11 June 2013 have passed the Great Seal of the Realm cancelling and annulling the Knighthood conferred upon James Robert Crosby on the 6 December 2006 as a Knight Bachelor."
Mr Crosby said in April that the Banking Standards Commission's report "made for very chastening reading".
"Although I stood down as CEO of HBOS in 2006, some three years before it was taken over by Lloyds, I have never sought to disassociate myself from what has happened," he continued.
"I am deeply sorry for what happened at HBOS."
Mr Crosby also resigned as a non-executive director of Compass Group and gave up 30% of his £580,000-a-year HBOS pension, meaning he will waive around £174,000 this year.
At the height of the financial crisis, Lloyds took over the collapsed HBOS, the group that owned Halifax and Bank of Scotland. But the government ended up with a stake of about 40% in the new Lloyds Banking Group.
The report by the Banking Standards Commission, a government body set up to improve the UK's banking system, estimated that 96% of shareholder value was wiped out when HBOS collapsed, costing taxpayers £20.5bn.
Lloyds Banking Group has since cut tens of thousands of jobs and remains 39% state-owned.
The banking crisis also precipitated the economic slump from which the UK is still struggling to recover.
Mr Crosby's knighthood is the second casualty of the banking crisis. Fred Goodwin, the former chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland, was stripped of his knighthood in 2012 after leading the bank to near-collapse in 2008, and an eventual multi-billion pound government bailout. | A bid for a statue of a Victorian bare-knuckle boxing champion in his home city of Nottingham has been launched.

Cambridgeshire Police revealed there had been 16 claims since 2010 including six trips or falls and two bites.
One person had a window shut on their finger and another got an eye injury while dismantling a cannabis factory.
The force has paid out more than £20,000 in the five-year period.
The force said seven claims were successful but it could not reveal which due to the Data Protection Act.
One claim was listed as "desk was raised up on pieces of wood under legs which slipped".
Another of the declared injuries involved a "needle stick", which the force did not elaborate on.
Affected personnel included seven police officers, one PCSO, one special constable and seven members of of police staff.
Shaun Ryan from the Cambridgeshire Police Federation said he saw the small number of claims as a "positive thing".
"Officers should be confident that as far a possible the environment they are asked to work in is safe for them," he said.
"When things go wrong however, it is only right that officers have an avenue of recourse as anyone else would have."
In 2013, it emerged Norfolk police officer Kelly Jones sought compensation for injuries sustained when she tripped from a kerb. She later withdrew the claim.
And when it is in a cutting edge sport like Formula 1, then teams such as Williams Martini have to make sure every penny they spend is put to best inventive use.
The UK-based team's IT director Graeme Hackland says they spend about £100m ($154m) a year in F1, compared with what he says is Mercedes' outlay of £300-350m, and Ferrari's of £250-300m.
But despite the spending disparity, the UK-based team, which has won the constructor's table nine times, hopes that technology, rather than splashing cash, can help them close the gap.
"We believe we can take them on," the 48-year-old South African, who has worked in F1 for 18 years, tells the BBC.
"We can't follow what Mercedes do. We want to beat people who are out-speeding us. If you can innovate, and not just follow what other people out there are doing, then you give yourself a chance."
And Mr Hackland, who is in his second year at Williams, says that he has seen an improvement over the past 18 months, as the team has cut the lap time difference between itself and Mercedes from 1.6 seconds, to 0.8 seconds.
The team - preparing for this Sunday's US Grand Prix - now has hopes of halving that figure again, and believes the power of technology, including working with outside experts, can help shave off further tenths of seconds.
"The challenge is finding partners - those that have digital technologies that will help us get back to the front of the grid - to come and work with us," Mr Hackland says.
Whereas at one time an F1 team's mechanics were armed with nothing more than a bag of spanners and an oily rag, nowadays there are dozens of team technicians, all keenly looking at banks of screens churning out a stream of race and car data.
There are 200 sensors on the Williams F1 cars, pouring out information on things like fuel levels, oil, water, exhaust and tyre temperatures, as well as speed, engine revs per minute (RPM), clutch fluid pressure, and G-force.
However, F1 regulations mean that there can only be a certain number of team members at race trackside, so Williams has teamed up with UK telecoms firm BT to improve the connection between its crew at the circuit, and its race operations centre back in Grove, Oxfordshire.
Mr Hackland says each F1 race produces between 60 and 80 GB of raw data that needs to be sent securely, and analysed in real time, so that team managers can make informed changes that can improve car performance during practice and qualifying, and in the race itself.
He says the BT connection, at a 100Mbps speed, provides Williams' team members, wherever based, with "real time pit-stop practice data analysis, accelerated race video analysis, improved applications performance, and real time telemetry".
"The more people we can have back at our factory on race days, working on the real data in real time, the better," adds Mr Hackland, who won the F1 constructors' championship in 2005 and 2006 when he worked at Renault.
It also means there has been huge difference in voice connectivity. Previously there would be a two to three second delay between trackside and the Oxfordshire HQ meaning that Williams team members with important contributions to make were not able to join in the conversation properly.
"Now it is very natural, if someone wants to make a point - for example for a driver - they can do so," he adds.
Another technology area where Williams hopes to progress is with regard to 3D printing of F1 car parts. It is not alone in examining this technology, with Red Bull among others also taking part in this evolution.
"When I first came into Formula 1 back in 1997 there were 3D printers," says Mr Hackland. "Now, though, it is not just carbon fibre that can be printed, but metals and glass. We have just seen the first whole titanium bicycles, and there have been printed cars.
"Materials are getting stronger and stronger. We are all looking at it, and there is a big advantage in being an early adopter."
Whereas at present it can take four days or more to ship a Williams F1 car part from the UK, to say, this weekend's race in Texas, Mr Hackland says they are examining the possibility of taking a printer on the road to races.
"We could stick the 3D printer at track after track, and could print parts off as needed on a Saturday morning."
And, in a further bid to seek a technological edge when it comes to car construction, Mr Hackland says Williams is also looking at robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in order to try and eliminate potential human errors.
Meanwhile, back on the racetrack Williams is optimistic tech analysis will help solve some specific performance problems.
"How do we make the pit stops better?" asks Mr Hackland. "We have established that for our first pit stop the wheel nut comes off slower than on our second stop.
"It is not the fault of the pit crew. If that problem goes into next year, we are screwing up next season, so we need to get to the bottom of that. We also need to be able to detect things like this earlier.
"Also, we struggle on the slow circuits such as Hungary and Monaco. What is the problem - which part of the aerodynamics or hydraulics is the problem? Mercedes seem to be quick everywhere, and we want to be quick everywhere."
So, can Williams - who are keen to sign other technology partners - get into the top two spots in the constructors' table next year?
"Nobody has got any illusions, getting into first or second is not going to be easy. But if I did not believe that I would not be here," says Mr Hackland, who previously worked for the Lotus F1 team.
"Technology can take Williams back to the front of the grid. We are not there to make up the numbers. I believe this path we are on."
The British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA) said the re-launch of many old favourites would boost sales following the industry's highest growth in five years in 2015.
Toy sales in the UK - Europe's largest toy market - grew 5.9% to £3.2bn last year, according to the BTHA.
A new-look Scalextric and other retro refits will add fresh sales, it said.
"We think that for 2016 retro licences will help to sustain the growth," Natasha Crookes, of the BTHA, told the BBC.
Nostalgia among new parents for the toys they grew up with is behind the resurgence, she said.
Dangermouse, Teletubbies and Noddy, which all have new TV series out this year, will be among the toys hitting the shelves this year, she said.
Last year, 58,000 new toys were released in the UK, as film franchises in particular boosted the industry.
Movie-related toy sales were up 27% thanks to the success of merchandise from Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Minions, according to toy industry analysts, the NPD Group.
Sales of action figures increased 20%, while building sets and soft toys both grew 14%.
Frederique Tutt of the NPD said: "What is interesting about the 2015 performance is the lasting endurance of traditional toys such as building sets and action figures."
The four were reported missing late on Monday after failing to return to the popular Nozawa Onsen ski resort on Mount Kenashi.
They were rescued about 08:40 local time on Tuesday, Japanese media said.
It is understood the woman, aged in her 50s, her two adult sons and a younger son dug themselves into a snow hole for shelter.
None appeared to be seriously injured, local media quoted police as saying.
"The four were shaking considerably when found," a rescuer told broadcaster NHK.
"But after providing them with food and hot water, they stopped shaking. They barely survived as they spent the night without much on them. Not moving around must have helped a great deal."
Authorities began searching for the family after they managed to post a message on Facebook calling for help, TV Asahi reported.
Police said the four were unable to descend from the 1,649m mountain, 200km (125 miles) north-west of Tokyo, after a day of skiing.
Temperatures dropped as low as -10C during the night, following three days of heavy snowfall, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said.
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it had been in contact with officials in Japan.

Often people don't realise the important and demanding role they have helping a parent or relative every day.
A special programme for Children in Need showed how difficult it can be for young people who care for their mums.
Tom and Antonia-Rae were featured in that film and came in to speak to Hayley about the challenges of their lives.
The community spirit is strong and despite some economic problems there are some other encouraging signs:
Ferndale Community School is just inside the Maerdy village boundary on the road up the valley. Some locals still call it "Maerdy Comp." After some difficult years, it has been showing remarkable progress.
Two years ago it became the only school in Wales to jump from a Band 5 to a Band 1 in a single year in the Welsh government's performance rankings. It has now been picked as one of the pioneering schools to develop Wales' new national curriculum.
Three years ago, barely a quarter of teenagers left school with the benchmark qualifications - at least five A* to C grades at GCSE, including English and Maths.
But last summer, 52% of pupils at Ferndale Community School earned these top grades - not far behind the Wales average of 57.9%.
Even more striking is the progress among children from poorer backgrounds.
More than a third of Ferndale's 650 pupils qualify for free school meals.
At a low point five years ago, only 2.3% from this group left school with five good grades, which the school admits was a "shocking" figure.
Last summer, 37% got five *A-C from the free school meals category - better than both the Wales and local council averages.
What's behind the turnaround?
New head teacher Heather Nicholas arrived in May 2011 after a poor inspection and with the school in danger of being placed in special measures if the decline wasn't reversed.
There was a vicious circle of poor performance and unhappy pupils not wanting to be in classes.
"The school was rated at the bottom of any and every kind of table that exists - poor attendance, poor attainment," said Mrs Nicholas.
"The behaviour wasn't good and conducive to learning. There was a heavy focus on a few, very troubling students and there was less time for the vast majority."
She said the staff felt passionate about the school and were ready for change.
"There was a lot of anger and agitation amongst staff and pupils; we looked at making the biggest impact," she added.
Bad behaviour was tackled by a standard disciplinary warning system for each class.
It meant exclusions were high but it looked to end disruption for those who wanted to learn. A "more business-like" school uniform of shirts and ties for older pupils was also brought in, to encourage maturity.
"There was a tendency in the school to try to be everything; what we're clear about is we're excellent teachers, we're not great social workers, police officers or community workers," said Mrs Nicholas.
"All of these roles we were doing badly, really. We focus on our jobs but strengthen our links with the specialists outside schools - youth workers, community police and drug awareness teams.
"We don't try to do it all ourselves or punish the child for having the problem."
The school has worked hard on literacy and communication skills, giving pupils more confidence to express themselves. An extra English teacher has been employed. In Maths, where pupils struggle with specifics - like fractions - all years come together for special focused sessions.
Attendance - at 86% one of the lowest in south Wales - has also improved to nearly 93%.
As well as 36% qualifying for free school meals, the school estimates another 38% of pupils also have poverty issues.
The school steps in to try "to play the role of the middle class parent" and fill in the gaps but takes a "blanket approach".
"There's a danger of thinking everyone on free school meals has feckless parents; they don't," said Mrs Nicholas.
"There are a lot of things we've done for the whole school because families are very adept at hiding [poverty], they're proud. Although 20% don't need us to, we buy all Year 7 a uniform to start with - every single one of them."
The school sources funding so every pupil has an experience during their time of a residential trip with friends away from the valley.
For the bigger trips - which have included skiing and a trip to Hollywood for 130 pupils - pupils raise funds and earn time credits to pay for them.
"It's confidence," Mrs Nicholas explained. "We want them to get all the experiences we can so they can hold their own.
"We've a proportion of children who've never seen the sea - I want children here to have the things that my daughter had."
The school takes a sensitive and personal approach for dealing with poverty issues as they affect individuals.
Punctuality can still be an issue with some pupils having to get themselves up for school. But pupils have set up a texting system to wake each other up.
"We've also got a washing machine and tumble dryers on the go all the time," she added.
"We have conversations with children, without offending them, that 'mum and dad are great but they aren't ever going to be good at laundry are they?' We persuade the children to look after it themselves.
"We want to get to a place where we can treat all the children the same. It's hard to tell off a child for not doing their homework when you know they're in darkness in the winter nights because there's no electricity.
"We provide homework facilities here, at Maerdy library and in Penrhys. So now we can say, you may not have electricity however you should have used those [facilities]."
Mrs Nicholas - who received a Welsh inspirational teacher award last year - said she was confident the new generation can fulfil their potential.
Students are looking for work in the civil service, teaching and in legal firms.
Now she wants to encourage more engineers and entrepreneurs and is looking to forge links with the University of South Wales aeronautics department.
"The mine's never coming back, neither is the railway line. You don't want to negate history but it's looking forward rather than wishing backwards.
"With this generation coming through they're ready for that. The number of boarded up buildings is depressing. We're working with the council to stop the library being another boarded up building - there's the line, let's move forward."
"It's not all negative living here - the traffic and house prices - Cardiff is just 35-45 minutes down the road, you can still live here and work there.
"Our goal is that a child can leave here and walk into any job interview and say, 'stay out of the way Cardiff High School students, that job's mine'.
"For the first time we've had Oxbridge applicants, they had interviews. They didn't get in this time but we rejoiced that our children felt they could sit at that table.
"Not that local universities aren't fantastic but now many of our students are going further afield, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham - it's great."
Mrs Nicholas says her long term hope is that the school will offer a facility for the weekends and holidays too, where there is a need.
Already there is something of a hub in an old school building in the grounds.
A youth club runs after school and also on some evenings. A minibus picks up teenagers in surrounding villages to take them to the valley sports centre for football.
The school site also has a crèche, operated by the Friends of Ferndale charity with funding from the Welsh government-backed Flying Start initiative.
The plan is for training and classes to be put in place for mothers, with free childcare for 2.5 hours, five days a week for 20 children. It operates all day and mothers can pay a top-up if they need it for longer.
Nikki Beach, project manager, said after removing the cost of childcare as a barrier, rather than just putting on off-the-shelf courses they were listening to what sort of training mothers actually wanted.
"People need a little support and encouragement," she said.
Councillor Keiron Montague said with the skills and aspirations, people can do anything.
"A child in Maerdy is going to get the same opportunity in education than a child in any other area - if not more, because the actual provision is so good.
"And I think they have the aspirations - they're the same as the children I've met in Cardiff, Barry and mid Wales.
"Just because an area is classed as deprived doesn't mean that the family infrastructure isn't solid and sound. They might not have the money but they have the time and effort and work with their children as well.
"Some struggle with that, like any area, but you go up to the community hub there are parents volunteering, working with their children on drama, arts, dance projects, IT projects. It's not just what goes on in the school, it's after school too."
Jess Richards, 21, is a film and photography graduate - and ex-Ferndale Community School student - who has set up her own business in the village with the help of a community wind farm grant.
She covers weddings and local events and said she hopes to document Maerdy on film as it develops in the future.
"We've got a pub and a couple of clubs but there's not a lot for young people to do at the moment and the skate park in Ferndale closed recently so we need something like that," she said.
"I'd like to see more shops and local businesses too.
"It's important to me to stay in Maerdy, it's my home village and I feel proud to be from here.
"It's also near some beautiful countryside, so we need more things to do with nature - for instance, there's a good project they're setting up with local woodlands."
Where the old colliery's pithead once stood is now a factory car park.
After Mardy's closure in 1990, the land was reclaimed and with great fanfare - and some controversy - a new £25m plant opened in 1997, making rubber parts for cars.
Money from the old Welsh Development Agency and Welsh Office was enough to beat off competition from France and Ireland. Fenner's Polymers moved work from Hull, Peterborough and further down the Rhondda to Maerdy.
It promised 500 jobs but within three years turnover had dropped to £6m and the next few years is a story of takeovers, administrations and a slimmed-down workforce.
In hindsight, the feeling is the owners were trying to do too much, too soon and the quality wasn't always there.
Avon Engineered Rubber took on the challenge in 2007, with just 84 workers left.
So the factory wouldn't be vulnerable to fluctuations in demand in the car industry, the new owners diversified.
As well as making rubber hoses for the likes of Aston Martin, Land Rover and Nissan, the key to keeping Maerdy's factory open and thriving is tiny - a seal for aerosol spray cans and bottles.
Avon can make up to 24 million of them - a day. They're being exported to five continents and supply brands ranging from Lynx to Chanel.
On a tour, Kevin Harrop, manufacturing and operations director, admits when they took over the factory was in danger of going under.
The company got back to basics.
"It was about getting housekeeping right, cutting waste and in a nutshell during the first 18 months we turned the plant into profit and invested it back into new equipment," says Mr Harrop.
The aerosol gaskets have been a lifeline and now an important driver of the business.
"It means all our eggs aren't in one basket. It paid dividends in 2008 when the recession came and automotive crashed and we could maintain our turnover through aerosol and ensure we're still here today.
"The engineering which goes into the gaskets is second to none. The precision has to be fundamentally correct but we've also been driving the amount of waste down to ensure we're competitive in a world market place."
The company has its own chemists and a development lab to ensure the product is perfect.
"If you buy a bottle of Chanel - you expect to spray Chanel and get the perfume scent everyone recognises," said Mr Harrop. "If we start changing the formulas within the compound we use - and start using different ingredients - the compounds will look the same, smell the same but they can react differently with the perfume in the bottle and when you spray it - the perfume it could be horrendous.
"The tolerances on dimensions of the gasket are 2000th of an inch - 15 years ago I'd have said it was nonsense to be able do that but that's what we're able to do."
The company's main competitor is in North America and its sales director travels the world to customers in China, India, America and across Europe.
Mr Harrop, who grew up close to the south Yorkshire coalfield, has lived in the south Wales valleys for 14 years after joining one of the factory's previous owners as technical manager.
"I moved the family down, my son works here and my daughter lives in Aberdare. I'm fully committed. I've put a lot of time and effort in over the last three years to get where we are today."
Now the workforce is up to 150 with 83% living within 12 miles of Maerdy. There's still a union - but the GMB has replaced the NUM at this location.
Literacy, common sense and "giving 150%" are more important than formal qualifications.
"There are some very good people, who are keen, hard working and loyal - 95% of people in this plant," said Mr Harrop.
"There's a spirit within the plant of everyone pulling together. At the moment we're not quite where we've been with orders and I've had to restructure the business a little but 95% are giving 150% to make sure we survive."
If there is any doubt on the progress, he occasionally reminds people of where the factory was 10 years ago.
While a new road would be welcome, Mr Harrop is content with the existing one as long as lorries can get over the mountain in the depths of winter.
It's a tough, lean environment with fine margins; there are no jobs for life any more. But there are hopes Maerdy can continue to push forward globally.
"I say this to the union - I'd love to see realistically 300 people working on this site and us having 50% of the market share on aerosol gaskets or more," said Mr Harrop.
"In injection moulding, I'm already looking at the next technology so we can compete worldwide - we have to be on the front foot."
Hopefully, Maerdy will be able to look to the stars for its future.
Plans for a National Planetarium for Wales are in their early stages, but those behind the Dark Skies project hope to bring tourism, an education centre and around 64 jobs in three years time.
The planetarium - one of Europe's biggest - would be built on reclaimed colliery land at Castell Nos along the old pit road. As well as a 350-seat auditorium, there would be an education centre, with simulators of the Mars rover, and a café.
There would also be a small observatory for sky gazers, taking advantage of the lack of light pollution.
Allan Trow, manager with Dark Sky Wales, says a feasibility study will firm up the plans, which hopes to attract 400,000 visitors a year eventually.
"We want the whole village, the businesses and the shops to benefit from it, from the people coming into the area" he said.
"We'd be recruiting from the local area for many of the jobs."
Maybe it will be that "something" that a number of local people I spoke to have hopes for. A spark that can ignite recovery.
Will that be a better road - whether to commute out or entice more business in?
Could even the south Wales Metro reach the village? "Why can't they start it in Maerdy and work down?" said one resident. At the moment, with no existing rail line, Maerdy and the Rhondda Fach are not even on the outline Metro map for south east Wales.
The Metro in Maerdy would be a statement of ambition, if probably unrealistic. But is there room for some blue-sky thinking among the Dark Skies tourism? Could subsidised or free bus links for those who need them for work be an alternative?
What strengths the village still has - shaped by its mining past - lie from within and even more so after the pit's closure, the great outdoors.
Asked what he'd like Maerdy to look like in another 25 years, Keiron Montague said: "I can open my back door and walk my dog straight onto a mountain, visit two reservoirs full of fish and pass 30 or 40 people on their cycles that same day. We should utilise the environment and say this is a fantastic place to live."
"But alongside that we want have a vibrant economy in Maerdy in terms of shops, small business. I think we're getting there now."
There's a plaque in the park marking the pit's closure. It ends with a challenge and no question mark: "A glorious past is surely the cornerstone for a glorious future."
Mr Montague says: "The community has certain skills and traits it wouldn't have had, if the colliery hadn't happened.
"It's all well and good sitting back and saying we've lost something, but we've so many assets in this community, let's build on that."
Maerdy still fighting after 25 years
Mardy Colliery - the day the pit closed
In temperatures of around 30C, the Tynecastle side dominated the game at the Hibernians Stadium in Malta.
Neilson was pleased overall with his side's performance.
"It's a decent result." Neilson told BBC Scotland. "Obviously you want to come to these games and win but they beat West Ham 1-0 here last year."
Hearts had the vast majority of possession but were restricted to few chances as the home side defended in numbers.
"It was a tough game with 30C heat and the pitch was dry and it was difficult for us but if someone gave you a one-off shot at beating Birkirkara at Tynecastle I would take it," added Neilson.
"They sit deep and they have no interest in opening up to attack. They try and hit you on the counter. The pleasing thing was we kept our patience and our discipline and we didn't give anything away."
Birkirkara captain Gareth Sciberras was content with the result and is looking forward to playing in front of a packed Tynecastle next Thursday.
"Our aim was to stay in the tie for the second leg so a 0-0 result is always good at home and we can go to Edinburgh now with more confidence," said the midfielder, 33.
"A lot of our players have never played at such a stadium. The atmosphere will be a huge motivation for our players and I think we will take it in the best possible way.
"If we go through, yes it would be the greatest result. We have never made it past this round before. It would be the biggest achievement for Maltese football, actually. So I think a lot of the general Maltese football supporters will be cheering us on next week."
The attack happened in a house in Clovestone Gardens at 17:45 on Tuesday 7 February.
Both men were white, in their late 20s, 5ft 10in, and of medium build. In the images they are wearing dark trousers, high-vis vests and blue baseball caps.
One was wearing a parka-style jacket with a fur trimmed hood.
Det Sgt Martin Smith, of Police Scotland, said: "The males pictured are believed to be of significance to our investigation.
"Anyone who can assist in identifying them is asked to come forward.
"Similarly we would ask the males themselves to get in touch with police and help with our investigation."
The rock has become a feature of Eisteddfa Gurig and artist Wynne Melville Jones captured it in a landscape painting.
Now, what began life has a misspelt act of graffiti in support of a politician will become a fixture at Graceland.
Mr Jones has sent it to be included in the museum.
Two men, the late film director John Hefin and David Meredith, former head of press and PR at HTV and S4C, painted the word Ellis on the rock in 1962 to show support for Islwyn Ffowc Elis, a novelist and Plaid Cymru candidate in Montgomeryshire.
However, they misspelt his surname by adding a second l, which was subsequently changed to a v and it has been known as Elvis rock ever since.
A limited edition print of this original painting has been presented to the Elvis Presley Archive at the famous mansion.
Mr Jones said: "Graceland is the most appropriate home for this painting - it has the Elvis museum and receives tens of thousands of visitors every year.
"I think this rock is like a national tribute from Wales to Elvis - the world's greatest rock star."
Mr Meredith said he was thrilled a print of the painting had been sent to Graceland and his original piece of graffiti had found such long-standing fame after being modified.
The original painting is part of an exhibition of Mr Jones's work in Oriel Rhiannon in Tregaron until 2 July.

The 27-year-old Birchfield Harrier's time of 9.96 seconds was also the quickest time by a Briton this year.
Of Britons, only Linford Christie and James Dasaolu have run 100m faster.
Fearon, who will not be at Rio 2016, was part of the four-man bobsleigh team that came fifth in the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The Coventry-born athlete was part of the GB 4x100m relay squad at the 2013 World Championships but did not compete at the event.
He had improved his 100m personal best from 10.10 to 10.04 at a meeting in Loughborough two weeks ago.
Fearon becomes only the seventh British man to post an official sub-10-second time for the distance.
Despite his impressive performance Fearon will not be competing at the Olympics in Rio.
GB's male 100m representatives have already been selected, with Dasaolu and Ujah joined by James Ellington.
Dasaolu's personal best is 9.91secs, achieved in 2013, while Ujah ran 9.96s in 2014. Ellington's personal best is 10.04s.
In an interview with Athletics Weekly after Saturday's race, Fearon did not rule out pursuing his track ambitions before next year's Athletics World Championships in London, but said the 2018 Winter Olympics remained his focus.
"It's a year before our Olympics so it's up to [British Bobsleigh]," he said.
"I'm their athlete so if they give me the freedom to go out and run, and if I'm in a position where I could make it, they'll allow me to go and do it. I'll work with the bobsleigh guys and see what we can put together.
"My focus is really on the bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics. We missed out on a medal in Sochi so I'm very focused on going and redeeming that and hopefully getting that medal that we should have got."
Fearon is not alone in taking his sprinting talents to the bobsleigh track.
British sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis, who won Olympic gold as part of the 4x100m relay team at the 2004 Athens Games, joined the GB Bobsleigh set-up last year in a bid to reach the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.
Fellow 2004 Olympic gold medallist Jason Gardener also competed in the 2008 GB Bobsleigh championships, while other sprinters who have made the switch include Simeon Williamson, Marcus Adam, Allyn Condon and Beijing Olympian Craig Pickering.

The Foxes are one point above the relegation zone having won two of their past 15 league matches.
But a much-changed side secured a 3-1 win, clinched by two extra-time goals, in a fourth-round replay against their East Midlands rivals on Wednesday.
"We showed the fight we have got in the squad," said Wales midfielder King.
King headed the Foxes, who made 10 changes, ahead after Demarai Gray's clever cross was nodded back across goal by Marc Albrighton.
Abdoul Camara's free-kick forced extra time but substitute Wilfred Ndidi and Gray scored fine goals to put Leicester through.
Manager Claudio Ranieri led the Foxes to the Premier League title last season despite them being 5,000-1 shots, but recent reports suggested he had lost the support of his players.
Leicester, who are 16th and without a league win in 2017, released a statement on Tuesday giving their "unwavering support" to the 65-year-old Italian.
"It's been a tough few weeks and we've been getting a lot of criticism," added King, who played for the Foxes in League One and has now made more than 400 appearances for them.
"It was important to get a win tonight to try to kick-start some form to take into the league.
"We have 14 massive games left in the league but now we are through in a couple of rounds of the cup. Why can't we create another journey this season?"
The Foxes, who have never won the FA Cup, travel to League One side Millwall in the last 16 on Saturday, 18 February.
They are also through to the last 16 of the Champions League and travel to Sevilla for the first leg on Wednesday, 22 February.

Former Leicester manager Martin O'Neill on Match of the Day:
"It is a really big win for Leicester City - I'm delighted they've done it. I think there has been a lot of doom and gloom around the place and that will lift it."
Former Republic of Ireland winger Kevin Kilbane on BBC Radio 5 live:
"I think Leicester's win could spark their season.
"We were looking where the spark was going to come from. Demarai Gray provided it for the opener and then [Wilfred] Ndidi and Gray scored those great goals.
"Can Gray get more game time? Can he play more central?"
Political opponents say the "cash-for-access" event breaks the Liberal party's own ethics guidelines.
The Liberals say they are following federal political financing rules.
It is not the first time the Trudeau government has faced criticism for its fundraising practices.
Last May, Mr Trudeau was the guest star at a CAD$1,525 ($1130/£900) fundraiser at the private Toronto home of Benson Wong, the chair of the Chinese Business Chamber of Canada.
The exclusive event has Mr Trudeau's political opponents accusing him of breaking the "open and accountable" ethics rules the Liberal party brought in shortly after their election in 2015.
Opposition politicians repeatedly pressed the issues for a second day in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
"These fundraisers don't pass the smell tests. Will the prime minister do the right thing and stop these cash-for-access programs?" said interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose.
The Liberals say no federal political fundraising rules were broken and that government business was not discussed at the dinner.
Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr and Finance Minister Bill Morneau have also been criticised for attending similar partisan fundraisers, with tickets going for CAD$500 ($300/£295) and up.
In Canada, political contributions to federal parties are currently capped at CAD$1,525 a year. Union and corporate donations to political parties are banned. Only Canadian citizens can donate.
Opposition parties say these fundraising events give those who can afford it access to cabinet ministers in charge of major policy decisions.
Soon after being elected, the Liberal government laid out rules for its ministers and MPs for fundraising and dealing with lobbyists. Those guidelines said that ministers "must avoid conflict of interest, the appearance of conflict of interest and situations that have the potential to involve conflicts of interest".
One guest at the Toronto fundraiser, along with a partner, made a $1m ($740,000/£595,000) donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal law faculty. A public signing ceremony was held shortly after the May event.
The Trudeau Foundation is a charity established in 2001 in Mr Trudeau's late father's memory.
The Trudeau Foundation said on Wednesday the two businessmen first reached out to university and the foundation in September 2014 to discuss a possible gift to honour the late prime minister, well before Mr Trudeau was elected prime minister.
Lapo Elkann was accused of ringing his family from New York to demand $10,000 (£8,000) "to guarantee his safety".
He was arrested after being found safe, but the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said it had now declined to prosecute, giving no further details.
A lawyer for Mr Elkann said his client was grateful justice had prevailed.
Mr Elkann - the great-great-grandson of Giovanni Agnelli, who founded Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, or Fiat, in 1899 - was arrested in November.
He told New York City police he had been held against his will at a Manhattan apartment for more than 24 hours.
He was found outside a public housing complex in New York and was arrested on a misdemeanour charge of falsely reporting an incident.
Mr Elkann had been due to appear in court on Wednesday before the charge was dropped.
His lawyer, Randy Zelin, said Mr Elkann now wanted to leave the episode behind him.
"The district attorney's office conducted a thorough and exhaustive investigation and determined my client had not done anything criminally," Mr Zelin added.

Scottish biscuit bakers Tunnock's are set to become the first firm to sponsor zebra crossings, according to the Daily Record.
As well as Caramel Wafer crossings, designers are working on plans to replace Belisha beacons with flashing Tunnock's Teacakes.
Scotland's minister for pedestrians, Miles Walker, told the Record: "This is a great breakthrough."
The Evening News tells its readers that efforts to save costs on the Queensferry Crossing have resulted in a critical flaw.
Steel beams imported from China will fail to meet in the middle, meaning workers will fall "agonisingly short" of completing the bridge from shore to shore.
Scottish government transport chiefs have decided to leave a 14in gap at the centre of the bridge, which they insist will be "completely safe".
The Common Space runs with a 1 April exclusive on how Alex Salmond is set to become the Speaker of House of Commons role as part of an SNP deal.
The demand will be one of the nationalists' main negotiating "red lines" if the party enters into talks after the 7 May General Election.
After Mr Salmond stepped down as first minister, he announced that he would seek to become an MP again.
Multimillion-pound repair works are to be carried out on the iconic Kelpies after engineers found rust below the surface, reports The Scotsman.

A superior goal difference meant Derby needed just a draw to stay in the top six but they set the tone for a disjointed and nervy display by gifting Kwesi Appiah a second-minute opener.
Darren Bent wasted a chance to level when his penalty was saved by keeper Adam Federici just before the break.
And Michael Hector's shot and Garath McCleary's spot-kick sealed victory.
The Rams started the day in sixth place in the Championship table, but ended in eighth as Brentford's win over already-relegated Wigan earned them fifth spot, while Ipswich clung on to the final play-off place despite losing to Blackburn.

Wolves beat Millwall and also finished above the Rams, but missed out on goal difference.
Reading's impressive victory ruined Derby's day but, having won just two out of their last 12 games before hosting the Royals, the result was maybe not as shocking as it first seemed.
There was an enthusiastic minute's applause before kick off to celebrate the life of former BBC Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield, a familiar voice and face to Rams fans, who last month died aged 33 following a battle with cancer.
The warm tribute helped create a wonderful pre-match atmosphere at the iPro but the mood swiftly changed to one of disbelief and silence.
Will Hughes played a sloppy pass which allowed Appiah to run towards goal, and after Richard Keogh committed himself, the Crystal Palace loanee cleverly cut inside and slid the ball home.
The lively Tom Ince and Bent did both have decent shots saved by keeper Adam Federici, while Keogh went close and Reading's Nathaniel Chalobah almost put through his own net under pressure from Ryan Shotton.
But the Rams were sloppy in possession in the final third, prompting head coach Steve McClaren to switch formation and bring on Jesse Lingard, play him in behind Bent and go with four at the back.
Reading, beaten FA Cup semi-finalists, had little to play but were disciplined in defence and looked dangerous when they ventured forward, but the hosts should have levelled just before the break.
Johnny Russell was bundled over in the box by Jordan Obita but Bent's strike towards the bottom left corner was brilliantly kept out by Federici.
Derby brought on influential striker Chris Martin at the break but it made little difference.
The Royals had by far the better chances, Tarique Fosu seeing a fierce shot saved by Grant, dragging a strike wide and then going close on a third occasion.
The pressure told when Hector fired home after a poor attempted clearance by Shotton, and McCleary's low penalty strike wrapped up victory after Jem Karacan was felled by Grant.
Derby head coach Steve McClaren: "I'm really annoyed, angry, and frustrated about the last two months and am really determined to do something about it.
"I'm not making a pledge, this is how I feel at the present moment. I'm under contract at Derby and I've said that all along. I've been questioned about all the speculation which has been going on for about six months.
"My intention is to sort this out. No one has told me otherwise and until somebody does, that's my determination.
"I'm angry, frustrated, I want to do something about it. I want to sit down with everybody next week, I think it's too raw, too early to make any kind of statement but what I say is what I mean."
Reading manager Steve Clarke: "A lot of performances have been really good but the key moments in the game went against us.
"But today, the key moments in the game went for us and that's the difference.
"The players were stuck in a little bit of a rut and had forgotten how to win a game and today they managed to remember so I've told them when they go away for the summer, don't forget what it's like to win a game. So this is a good way for us to finish."

"A big fat zero," he replied, before saying that things were going to improve at Tynecastle - and quickly.
He urged fans to get on board because they wouldn't want to "miss this part of the journey" only to turn up at the station later on when Hearts, rebuilt and successful, arrived at Nirvana. "I know very clearly where we want to go," said Cathro.
Throughout his time in the capital, even when the funeral march was playing at Tynecastle on Saturday, he sounded like a man who knew, as a matter of fact, that he would get it right in the end.
Cathro and the Hearts support were as one in the beginning. The fans embraced him in part because he was young and had coached in some exciting places. It appealed to them that their club were appointing a fresh face rather than one of the old guard. They were doing things differently. That went down well at Tynecastle.
They loved the narrative of Cathro's young life. "Leaving home, going to Portugal (to Rio Ave), not a word of Portuguese, a young guy, 24 or 25 at the time," he said in January. "Not an awful lot of life experience. Probably more football experience than life experience at that point. Every aspect of life there demanded that you grow up. That was a very valuable thing."
They also railed against those who criticised the appointment. There was a proper hubbub - the "laptop manager" debate.
Everybody saw Cathro's appointment as a gamble, but some thought it worth taking and others didn't. There was a lot said about his lack of personality and his likely inability to command a dressing room as a manager, as opposed to his previous life as a coach working under a manager.
When Robbie Neilson left Hearts for MK Dons in December, the Edinburgh club were sitting in second place in the league. It was a bit of a false position. Few at Tynecastle would have wagered a brass farthing on them finishing in the top two or three.
Cathro came in and change happened around him. If he's deserving of sympathy, then here it is. Callum Paterson, one of Hearts' best players and one of their chief providers of goals, got a serious injury and never played under his new manager. Igor Rossi, who played in Neilson's last match, a 2-0 win over Rangers, left the club in January, as did Alim Ozturk. Faycal Rherras, another member of the defence against Rangers, exited for the Africa Cup of Nations. So, too, Arnaud Djoum, the most forceful midfielder at the club.
Whatever stability Hearts had went out of the window. They signed players in great flurries. Few worked out.
As director of football, Craig Levein has to take a share of the blame for what the club became in January.
For four days in February, there were signs of hope when Hearts beat Rangers 4-1 and then beat Motherwell 3-0, but that respite didn't last. When Hearts drew 0-0 with Hibs in the Scottish Cup on 12 February they had seven January signings in their starting line-up. When they got knocked out 3-1 in the replay, those same seven newcomers started again - and an eighth new player came off the bench.
This was a club in an unfocused mess. In the aftermath of that horrendous loss to Hibs, a senior figure at Hearts expressed fear that the fans would never forgive Cathro for losing to their city rivals.
The environment at Tynecastle, with its conveyor belt in and out of the dressing room, can't be ignored in the Cathro post-mortem. Managing Hearts was always going to be a monumentally hard job - their fans are ruthlessly demanding - but managing them through this turbulence would have tested a veteran never mind a rookie.
Cathro knew that he was a poor communicator in front of the cameras. He was uncomfortable and prone to extremely odd comments. He backed his own ability to get the job done on the training ground, though. That's where he said he was most at ease. That's where he thought he was going to make a difference.
Had that been the case, and discernible improvement resulted on the pitch in matches, then he would have bought himself time to improve his shortcomings, to mature as a manager. There was no sign of any improvement. After such a grim time of it last season he needed a fast start to this campaign. Hearts have been awful.
Out of one competition already, booed off on Saturday, lacking in all parts of the pitch - there was no case for him, no hope of survival.
The attention now turns to the next appointment. Hearts' preference with Neilson and Cathro was for young managers trying to make their way. That model might change now. Hearts can't afford to take another Cathro-esque risk on a novice.
There's been much talk about whether the new manager "can work with Levein as director of football", but Levein knows he has to make it work. His neck is on the line as well. If it's Peter Houston, Tommy Wright, Michael O'Neill, Paul Hartley or anybody else on the shortlist then Levein will have to adapt to the new manager. He can't allow himself to become a barrier.
In January, Cathro spoke about his football philosophy, then checked himself mid-sentence and said: "Without winning, everything else is a waste of time." So true.
Hearts have a big and loyal support, a magnificent stadium in development and a clear focus in all areas bar the stuff that happens on the grass at Tynecastle. It's not just a new stand they need to construct - it's an optimism among those who are going to be sitting in it.
If there was a prize for the gaffe of the 2010 general election campaign, it would have definitely gone to Gordon Brown.

Timeliner: Meeting the voters
Timeliner: Is this thing on?
After an encounter with 65-year-old pensioner and Rochdale resident Gillian Duffy, who asked the then prime minister about a range of subjects including immigration, Brown retreated to the apparently safe confines of his car, whereupon he vented his frustration at the woman. It was a "disaster", he told an aide, complaining about that "bigoted woman".
Trouble was, his broadcast microphone microphone was still pinned to his shirt - and picked up everything. The recordings went public, and were even played back to Brown live on BBC Radio 2.
A grovelling phone apology to Mrs Duffy followed, but it wasn't enough, so the PM had to go back to Rochdale to apologise to Mrs Duffy in person.
John Prescott hit the headlines (no pun intended...) for all the wrong reasons during the 2001 general election campaign. It was the day of Labour's manifesto launch in Birmingham, and the-then deputy prime minister was on his way to an election rally in Rhyl, north Wales. But after stepping off his battle bus he was egged by a protestor.
In the heat of the moment Prescott threw a punch at the man and an undignified scuffle over a wall ensued - in full view of the TV cameras. The incident earned the deputy PM the nickname "Two Jabs" - a variation on the more familiar "Two Jags" born from his apparent fondness for luxury cars.
Ed Miliband isn't the first - and likely won't be the last - politician to fall into this trap. When asked to name the three candidates in the race to become leader of the Scottish Labour Party, he got two right - but couldn't remember the third.
Alas it was Ken Macintosh MSP, the candidate being tipped to win, that escaped the Labour leader's memory. Fortunately for him, Mr Macintosh took it well, and laughed off the incident saying it showed that politicians "are human".
A similar fate befell London Mayor Boris Johnson who failed to name the Conservative candidate in the 2014 Clacton by-election - but not before he'd had a good stab at it: "We've got a fantastic guy called... ow... err... (inaudible muttering)... he's a superb man. Stirling? Girling? Something like that."
Eventually admitting defeat, the London mayor had to ask LBC radio presenter to help him out. The candidate's name? Giles Watling, a former TV actor.
Most people would probably think it's a good idea as a party leader to be across the details of their policies. But the then UKIP leader Lord Pearson of Rannoch got himself into a spot of bother during a live TV interview in the run up to the 2010 general election.
Pressed over several of UKIP's policies, Lord Pearson told the BBC's Jon Sopel he had not come on his programme "to deal with the minutiae" of the manifesto. Rather, he wanted to stick to the "broad sweep" of the party's offerings.
It marked a rather difficult election campaign for the UKIP leader, whose resignation followed some months later, with the peer making a wonderfully frank declaration that he was "not much good" at party politics.
In recent years, every general election has been tipped to be the "social media election". Whether it becomes true this time remains to be seen. But what we can be almost sure of is that at least one parliamentary hopeful will mess up on Twitter. The social media platform has claimed many a political scalp in the past.
Most recently - and high profile - was Labour's shadow attorney general, Emily Thornberry, who had to resign from her post after a tweet she sent during last year's Rochester and Strood by-election.
Ms Thornberry had posted a picture of a terraced house with three England flags, and a white van parked outside which provoked a Twitter storm after being regarded by many as "snobby" and "offensive" - despite the MP's insistence it was entirely innocent.
David Burrowes, the Conservative MP for Enfield Southgate, came a cropper when he found himself accidentally canvassing in the neighbouring Labour constituency last month. The MP and his team were out and about knocking on doors - and only realised they were on MP Andy Love's turf after a conversation with his wife.
Turns out Mr Burrowes had taken a "wrong turning", as he put it, to Bush Hill Park in Enfield, north London - which is actually in Mr Love's Edmonton constituency.
Mr Burrowes laughed off his mistake, saying either "my canvassing enthusiasm or the distraction of my phone got the better of me", and apologised for "any confusion".
If you're a would-be MP and you're thinking about making a public declaration of affection for your party - be sure to think the plan through first, or you may end up needed to be rescued, like UKIP parliamentary candidate Sam Gould. During the party's spring conference in Margate, Gould took to the beach to write "We Love Nige" - in honour of the party's leader - in the sand. But unfortunately for Gould, he got stranded by the tide and had to be hoisted up a wall to drier land by UKIP's press secretary, Gawain Towler.
And who could forget Neil Kinnock's famous tumble into the sea on Brighton beach in 1983, when the Labour leadership election contest was underway. While the PR-stunt-gone-wrong didn't cost him the leadership of the party, Kinnock was ridiculed in the press and it has been replayed endlessly since.
They launched an inquiry amid claims Wales was underfunded to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds.
Chair Jocelyn Davies said they welcomed the promised funding floor of at least 15% more cash per head than England.
But she called for an agreement on block grants based on needs before the funding floor promise expires in 2020.
"The issue of funding for Wales has been a bone of contention since the establishment of the now long-since discredited Barnett Formula," said Ms Davies.
"An agreement over a funding floor between the UK and Welsh governments is a positive step, but that deal expires in 2020.
"We think it is critical that any agreement around funding for Wales is put at the top of the agenda."
Economist Gerald Holtham, who advised the committee, said "some things have not changed" since he chaired an inquiry which reported in 2009 that Wales was underfunded by £300m a year.
"We called for a needs-based formula for Wales then, and these calls are being repeated six years later in this report," he said.
The report also called for an independent body to set the block grants and settle disputes between the UK Treasury and the devolved governments.
The UK Treasury has been asked to comment.
Northumberland County Council's youth service started the project amid fears young people were making themselves vulnerable online.
Youth workers are working with youngsters at clubs across the county.
Advice includes not showing school uniform logos or street names in pictures, adjusting privacy settings and switching off the phone's GPS so locations cannot be tracked.
Labour councillor Robert Arckless, policy board member for children's services, said: "Many young people do not understand that the images they are taking are unsafe and that, once posted, they could be available forever.
"We are running the campaign to help prevent young people from putting themselves in a vulnerable position and opening themselves up to exploitation and bullying."
Specialist aerial dancer Pedro Aunión Monroy was suspended in a cage during the Mad Cool festival in Madrid on Friday when he plunged 100ft to his death.
A Buddhist ceremony was held on Saturday and a Catholic cremation carried out earlier.
His friend Gary Taylor said Mr Monroy was a "huge bundle of energy".
He told the BBC a Prince song was played during the funeral for the Portslade-based dancer, and his ashes will be buried with his grandmother's in Spain on Monday.
"Pedro and his partner Mike are both Buddhists and [Mike] said afterwards it was a very powerful experience," Mr Taylor said.
"Pedro was a huge ball of energy, a very big character and a very kind man.
"I've got a lot of funny memories, but far too few memories now. He was a big showman and died as you might expect, with an audience.
"His family are lovely... they are all devastated and shocked."
Mr Monroy died between performances by Alt-J and Green Day, and paramedics spent 30 minutes trying to revive him.
It is unclear at this stage what caused the fall.
Mr Taylor said he expects there will be an investigation into the circumstances, as the Mayor of Madrid, Manuela Carmena, had told the family she wanted to know exactly what happened.
Mr Monroy had his own performance company, In Fact Aerial Dance, based in Brixton, London, and previously worked as a self-employed massage therapist at The Grand Hotel, Brighton.
In statement on the 45,000-ticket sell out festival's website, directors Javier Arnaiz and Farruco Castromán said they did not initially inform the audience or the bands the fall was fatal because of "security reasons".
Two child advocacy groups have flagged up videos that they say "would be extremely disturbing for young children to view".
They have lodged a complaint with the US regulator Federal Trade Commission, according to the Wall Street Journal.
YouTube said any inappropriate videos flagged up to it would be removed.
The complaint, filed by the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and the Center for Digital Democracy, claims that the groups found links to videos with explicit sexual language, jokes about paedophilia and drug use and adult discussions about violence, pornography and suicide.
"Google promised parents that YouTube Kids would deliver appropriate content for children, but it has failed to fulfil its promise," Aaron Mackey, a lawyer representing the groups told the Wall Street Journal.
A YouTube spokesperson told the BBC: "We work to make the videos in YouTube Kids as family friendly as possible and take feedback very seriously.
"We appreciate people drawing problematic content to our attention, and make it possible for anyone to flag a video. Flagged videos are manually reviewed 24/7 and any videos that don't belong in the app are removed."
Parents can also turn off the search function in the app which limits what content children can access.
YouTube Kids was launched in the US only in February, claiming to offer specially curated video content suitable for children.
It found itself in hot water in April when a group of child safety experts complained that the app mixed programming with branded videos from companies such as McDonald's, Mattel and Hasbro.
Published on 19 June, The Silkworm will again feature Cormoran Strike, the private detective Rowling introduced in 2013's The Cuckoo's Calling.
The author's pseudonym was unmasked last year after the information was leaked by a member of her legal team.
The new novel sees Strike on the trail of a novelist's murderer.
Along with his assistant Robin Ellacott, he will probe the death of a writer whose latest manuscript would have ruined several lives had it been published.
It has also been announced that Rowling will discuss her new career as a crime writer at a literary festival in North Yorkshire.
The 48-year-old will appear in conversation with Val McDermid at Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate on 18 July.
Writing last year, Rowling said that 'Robert' "fully intends to keep writing" but would "probably continue to turn down personal appearances". | Dog bites, a collapsing desk and "stepping in a deep hole" have caused injuries to police staff that have led to compensation claims, a freedom of information request has revealed.

Staff at Denbigh's Henllan Bakery have downloaded an app which assesses mobile signal quality to identify areas with poor coverage.
The app for Android phones by Ofcom then automatically reports the information back to the regulator.
So far, it has identified signal issues around Chirk and Oswestry.
The app works by automatically measuring voice-call reliability, signal strength and data speeds without the user having to do anything and without any personal data being collected.
Ed Moore, a director at the bakery, said: "We need to be able to reach our delivery staff wherever they are and a lack of reception can make this impossible.
"The situation seems particularly bad towards the Chirk and Oswestry area but there are 'not spots' scattered around everywhere. It isn't just in rural areas."
Denbighshire council has been working with mobile operators to improve signal quality in the county and said more data would help it make the case for improved infrastructure.
Council leader Hugh Evans said the council was aware of the frustration felt by people when they cannot get a good signal and said Ofcom had made a "positive move by exploiting technology which most of [us] carry around all the time".
The council is now asking staff to download the app, claiming that with 700 employee handsets, it was in a "strong position" to help gather the data needed.
Ofcom said publication of data collected by the app would encourage mobile network operators to improve their networks.
In a memo before he retired in April as head of Joint Forces Command, Gen Sir Richard Barrons said key capabilities had been stripped out to save money.
He said Whitehall was "preserving the shop window" with items like aircraft carriers, the Financial Times reports.
Defence officials said Sir Richard had backed the last defence review.
The FT said it had obtained the 10-page private memo, which had been sent to Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon.
It followed the government's decision to raise defence spending by nearly £5bn by 2020-21 and its pledge to meet Nato's target to spend 2% of GDP on defence for the rest of the decade.
Sir Richard said: "Capability that is foundational to all major armed forces has been withered by design."
He said critical technical and logistical capabilities had been "iteratively stripped out".
"Counter-terrorism is the limit of up-to-date plans and preparations to secure our airspace, waters and territory," he said.  
"Neither the UK homeland nor a deployed force could be protected from a concerted Russian air effort."
The Army "has grown used to operating from safe bases in the middle of its operating area, against opponents who do not manoeuvre at scale", he said.
Manpower in all three services was dangerously squeezed and Navy ships and RAF planes had become used to depending on US support, he said.
"Key capabilities such as radars, fire control systems and missile stocks are deficient," he said.
"There is a sense that modern conflict is ordained to be only as small and as short term as we want to afford, and that is absurd...
"The failure to come to terms with this will not matter at all if we are lucky in the way the world happens to turn out, but it could matter a very great deal if even a few of the risks now at large conspire against the UK."
Sir Richard served as head of Joint Forces Command between 2013 and 2016, a role that saw him in charge of more than 20,000 military and civilian personnel across all three services.
It is not the first time a senior British military commander has spoken against defence cuts.
But BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said other criticism had not contained so much detail or been expressed as starkly.
A defence source has questioned the motive behind the release of the memo, wondering if it was "sour grapes" as Sir Richard had been one of the candidates put forward for promotion as head of the armed forces but was turned down.
Major General Tim Cross, who served in the British army for 40 years, told BBC Radio 5 live that the UK was no longer prepared to fight a "conventional war".
And he said any suggestion of sour grapes on Sir Richard's behalf was "wrong and unfair", and that he was "simply highlighting a reality".
Gen Cross added that in recent years the UK has "gone through a period of what's called the wars of choice - in other words, we've decided whether we want to engage or not".
"The concern today, and it's not a new concern, it's been emerging over the last few years, is the re-emergence of Russia, of China, and the need to be capable of fighting a conventional war in the old style sense, as opposed to those in Iraq, Afghanistan and counter-terrorism.
"There's no doubt that we need to look at the issues Richard has highlighted, because the problem is the equipment for this sort of campaign is hugely expensive."
Gen Cross also told the Today programme that Sir Richard had established the "hugely important" Joint Force Command, which "looks pan-defence", examining areas such as cyber warfare, medical, logistics, information and surveillance.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "Our defence review last year put in place a plan for more ships, planes and troops at readiness, alongside greater spending on cyber and special forces. That plan was backed by a rising defence budget.
"And, crucially, it was backed by all of the service chiefs, who were heavily involved putting it together."
But in the run-up to next year's event, due to be held in February, at least one pair of artists has discovered that you can go too far.
With the country's National Carnival Commission worrying that an Ebola virus outbreak might force it to postpone the festivities, soca singers Benjai and Screws decided to make light of the threat.
Their song, No Ebola, contains the chorus line, "No Ebola cyar [can't] stop no soca," and invites revellers to "jump up with your gas mask".
The tune sparked a social media backlash, with many commentators describing it as "insensitive" and "spectacularly ill-timed", after its initial appearance on YouTube.
If, despite all the disapproval, you want to buy the song on CD, you're going to find it difficult.
Physical music releases have become a rarity in the twin-island republic, with street-corner pirate vendors now the only way of getting hold of many popular songs in the silver-disc format.
Trinidad's few remaining legitimate record shops are deeply frustrated at the lack of new product available.
"They're hardly putting anything out nowadays," sighs the shop assistant at Crosby's Music Centre in the capital, Port of Spain.
In past years, the store was the essential place to pick up the latest local sounds, for locals and visitors alike.
Now its shelves are dominated by greatest hits collections by veteran artists such as the Mighty Sparrow and David Rudder, who still frequently pack concert halls at home and abroad.
If you want to hear something more recent, however, you'll have to step outside and track down one of the country's many music pirates.
In two of the island's biggest cities, Port of Spain and Arima, vendors can easily be found peddling illegal CDs from carts parked on street-corner pavements.
And the pirate music sellers have adapted to changing times more effectively than the shops have.
"You have a [USB] stick?" asks one vendor, before whipping out a Sony Vaio laptop loaded with a huge library of MP3 music files.
In addition to selling regular music CDs for 20 local dollars each (£2; $3.15), he also burns MP3s to CD while you wait, as well as transferring music to mobile phones and other devices.
Of course, pirate CDs have been on sale in Trinidad and Tobago for many years.
When I previously reported on the subject in 2008, efforts were being made to toughen up the country's copyright law. My story was even quoted in more than one parliamentary debate there.
Ironically, the article itself was pirated and reprinted without permission by certain Trinidad newspapers.
The potential punishment for music piracy ought to give the illegal CD vendors pause for thought. Each count of copyright violation now carries a maximum fine of 250,000 local dollars (£25,100; $39,400) plus 10 years' imprisonment.
But although the penalties have been increased, the law is still being widely flouted.
The local music industry body, the Copyright Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT), is naturally concerned that music piracy is continuing to flourish.
COTT's chief executive, Josh Rudder, says: "It's taken a different turn now with digital piracy. It's one of the major issues that we face."
As he says, a pirate CD used to contain 12 to 15 tracks, "but now you're getting CDs with hundreds of MP3s and you still pay TT$20 a CD."
Trinidad and Tobago police regularly carry out anti-piracy raids in various parts of the country.
But in Mr Rudder's view, the local police should follow the model adopted by Jamaica, which has a special police unit dedicated to pursuing intellectual property crimes.
In the meantime, COTT has started its own campaign to "sensitise the public", making them aware that buying illegally produced CDs will deprive their favourite artists of income.
Mr Rudder accepts that the war on pirate music is never going to be won: "It's a matter of containment, realistically."
He believes that in the long term, the country's music industry needs to adopt other business models, such as subscription services. Fortunately, that is already happening.
The legitimate CD may be dying out in Trinidad and Tobago, but at least there are authorised ways of obtaining soca music online.
Benjai and Screws' No Ebola is available on iTunes, Amazon and other legal music download services, including Trinidad's own trinidadtunes.com, along with many other tunes recorded for the 2015 carnival.
And just as other parts of the world are moving away from downloads and embracing music streaming services, the entire Trinidad Tunes catalogue of 20,000 songs is now available to stream via a recently launched app, We Music.
The app only works on Android devices at the moment, but Apple and Windows versions are expected soon.
An autopsy showed that Oetzi had been murdered, dying of an arrow wound.
While this is not disputed, a new study suggests that months after his death, Oetzi's corpse was carried to the high mountain pass where it was found.
The discovery site therefore may not be a murder scene after all, but a burial ground.
The new study, led by Professor Luca Bondioli of the National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnology in Rome and his US-Italian team, is published in the journal Antiquity.
Oetzi was discovered on the alpine border between Italy and Austria in 1991.
Although thought at first to be the corpse of a modern climber, scientists later proved that the mummified body was more than 5,000 years old.
An autopsy in 2001 further showed that he had been killed by an arrow wound to the shoulder.
Dead and buried
In the new study, researchers produced a detailed map of where the corpse and artefacts were found.
Based on guesses about how the artefacts had dispersed down slope over time, they inferred that the body had originated on a rock platform nearby. They argued that this was a later burial site, and not the original scene of his murder.
This "burial theory" may explain some perplexing facts about Oetzi.
For example, analysis suggests he died in the spring because the pollen of plants that bloom at that time of year is found in his gut. However, pollen within the ice suggests that the corpse was deposited in the late summer.
Professor Bondioli and his team say that these facts makes most sense if the body was deliberately carried to its site of discovery many months after death.
This suggests a burial.
Professor Bondioli elaborated: "Oetzi must have been a very important person to be taken to this high mountain pass for burial. Perhaps he was some sort of a chieftain."
Not bullet proof
However, Professor Frank Ruehli of the University of Zurich, the medical doctor who performed the original autopsy, is not totally convinced by the burial theory.
He remarked: "The left arm of the corpse is in a weird position. This must have happened at the time of death."
"If Oetzi was a chieftain, why did his people not move the twisted arm into a more natural position?" he told BBC News. "This would be expected in the burial of an important person".
Also somewhat sceptical is Dr Wolfgang Muller of Royal Holloway University of London. He studied the chemistry of Oetzi's teeth and bones to track his migration route through the Alps.
"It's an interesting new interpretation but it's not bullet proof," he said. "However, if Oetzi was buried they must have carried the body a long way because the nearby villages would have been at a low altitude."
While much remains to be learned about the enigmatic Iceman - as the mummified corpse has been dubbed - one thing is certain: This famous mummy will remain the subject of intense speculation and new research for decades to come.

He said officers had also carried out "significant door-to-door inquiries" and were "in the process of reviewing CCTV which may be useful to help track Paige's last movements".
Det Supt Sloan said officers were "currently working through all information...passed to the incident room over the last 24 hours".
The public is being asked for help so police can "piece together Paige's movements between Saturday 19 March and Monday 21 March", Det Supt Sloan said.
"We know that the last confirmed sighting of Paige was on Saturday morning at about 08:20 at the shop in Fleming Avenue.
"I need to hear from people who recognise her image that we have issued, and who saw her that morning.
"Paige was a very independent young lady, who would routinely make her way to work during the weekend over to Kirkintilloch from Clydebank, taking a bus into Glasgow City Centre on to Kirkintilloch."
The detective said he needed people to come forward with any information "however insignificant it may seem".
He asked: "Did you see anyone acting suspiciously in the area of Fleming Avenue on Saturday morning, and crucially, did you see anyone in the vicinity of Great Western Road, near to a wooded area on the A82 on Monday?
"This is a very busy route for cars, and popular with joggers and dog walkers."
Det Supt Sloan added: "I must reiterate that a team of detectives are working around the clock to try to identify who was responsible for the death of this young girl, however, we need as much information from the local community as we can in order to achieve this.
"If you have any piece of information, no matter how small, please contact the incident room and let us know."
Detectives have also announced a dedicated mobile number which people can text with any information they may have. The number is 07557 540 848.
Meanwhile, a shopkeeper who was one of the last people to see Miss Doherty alive also said he was "devastated" by Paige's death.
Mr Ahmed runs Fleming Foodstore on Fleming Avenue and knows Miss Doherty's family.
He exchanged a few words and a wave with the 15-year-old outside his store in Clydebank on Saturday morning.
Mr Ahmed told the BBC she was "a very bubbly lassie" who was "always smiling" and "had time for everyone".
He said she "didn't deserve what she got".
Fundraising web pages set up in the past 24 hours to help Miss Doherty's family have raised more than £14,000.
Family friend Lynsay Smith set up one page and wrote: "All the money raised is to help Pamela, her mum, and Andrew, her stepdad, with any funeral arrangements and anything else to ease the pain that they are going through at this time."
Donations on the page had reached £7,300 by 14:00 on Wednesday.
A second page set up by Gail Duncan smashed the target of £3,000 within hours and had raised £6,900 by 14:00 on Wednesday.
She said the money would go to Paige's family to "spend how they see fit in honour to remember Paige".
The incident happened near Talgarth on 30 July as the glider soared at 1,600ft (488m) in an area known as Gospel Pass.
The US Air Force F-15 was flying at 517mph (832km/h) at an altitude of 500ft (152m).
The glider pilot told experts the risk of collision was "high". Neither was fitted with warning equipment.
At the time of the incident, the aircrafts were outside controlled airspace, flying on Visual Flight Rules (VFR) where pilots are required to "see and avoid" each other.
The F-15 pilot, who is based in the UK, said he was aware of a gliding club in the area but had not seen the other aircraft and did not believe there was a risk of a collision.
The Black Mountains Gliding Club told officials there had been informal agreements with RAF Harrier pilots in the 1990s to keep the fast jets and gliders apart.
The gliding club suggested that the arrangement with military pilots should be reinstated but Airprox board officials said there should be more formal restrictions on flying in the area.
Experts concluded neither pilot had seen the other aircraft in time to take evasive action and the risk was category B - a medium risk.
"It's all false," de Gea said.
The claims are contained in court papers in a trial against a pornography baron seen by El Diario newspaper.
A witness claims the defendant forced her and another girl into sex with two Under-21 internationals in 2012.
"I am the first one to be surprised by this report. I deny it, it is false and nothing more, it is a lie and false," de Gea told a press conference at Spain's Euro 2016 training base.
"It is false what is coming out in the press and it will be in the hands of my lawyers," he added.
The claims are part of a continuing case against pornographer Ignacio Allende Fernández, known as Torbe, who is accused of being the head of a prostitution network that abused Spanish and foreign women, some of them underage.
Torbe was remanded in custody in April charged with offences including sex attacks, sexual exploitation and child pornography.
The protected witness, who claims she was forced into the prostitution ring, said she was taken to a Madrid hotel and introduced to another girl and two footballers.
Once in a room with the other girl, the witness - known in police interview papers as TP3 - said that she was told by Torbe that she had to comply with the sexual demands of the two Under-21 internationals.
When she said she did not wish to take part, she claimed to police that Torbe "grabbed her forcefully by the arm".
The witness said she had told Torbe in front of the footballers that she did not want to take part in the sexual encounter, El Diario reported.
El Diario claimed the players said they did not want any recordings of the encounter to be made in case their playing careers were affected.
The witness claimed the encounter had been arranged by de Gea, according to the police report published by El Diario.
Apiarist Murray McGregor, the owner of Denrosa Apiaries in Blairgowrie, pled guilty to administering "unauthorised veterinary medicinal products".
The 61-year-old has produced honey for both the Balmoral Estate and Prince Charles' Duchy Estate.
He admitted committing the breach between July 2009 and October 2010.
During the period, McGregor admitted importing the unauthorised medicinal product, Terramycin 100MR.
He also admitted giving Terramycin 100MR to an animal, namely the honey bee, in contravention of the relevant regulations.
He admitted a third charge of possessing the substance without authorisation.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that a further expert report on the case was being prepared.
In 2009, a bee farm the Lothians owned by McGregor was targeted by thieves and 11 hives containing up to 500,000 bees were stolen.
The bees, which were being farmed under the Denrosa banner, were due to be transferred to the Balmoral Estate.
That made Britain one of the most unequal countries in the developed world and contributed to the vote for Brexit, the charity said.
Its analysis found that about 634,000 Britons were worth 20 times as much as the poorest 13 million people.
Oxfam has urged Prime Minister Theresa May to help close the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots".
The charity's report analysed data from Credit Suisse and found that the richest 10% of the UK population own over half of the country's total wealth, with the top 1% owning nearly a quarter (23%). The poorest 20% share just 0.8% of the UK's wealth between them.
The report said many people in the UK felt locked out of politics and economic opportunity.
"Whatever your views on Brexit, the referendum brought divisions within our country to a head, with many people expressing distrust and disconnection with political processes and voting for change in the hope that it would improve their economic position," Oxfam said.
The charity welcomed Mrs May's recognition of the need to reform corporate culture and proposed a series of measures for the government to adopt.
They include:
Rachael Orr, head of Oxfam's UK Programme, said: "Inequality is a massive barrier to tackling poverty and has created an economy that clearly isn't working for everyone. While executive pay soars, one in five people live below the poverty line and struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table."
Ending unscrupulous practices must be a central element of the government's plans to reform the economy, she said.
"That means closing wage gaps, incentivising investment in companies' staff and making sure they pay their fair share of taxes," Ms Orr said.
A Downing Street spokesperson said the government had made changes such as bringing in the National Living Wage and reforming the welfare system, but admitted that more needed to be done to help both the poorest in the UK as well as families struggling to make ends meet.
Chancellor George Osborne considers the scheme to be of crucial help to house buyers, and also a means of stimulating the construction sector.
But Mr Posen said: "I find this whole initiative largely mistaken by the Treasury."
The first stage of Help to Buy was recently extended until 2020.
"The idea of pumping up credit for middle to upper-middle class people to spend more on housing, when people have already spent too much on housing, is dysfunctional," Mr Posen told BBC Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money programme.
"We need a distinction between housing policy and mortgage policy, and we need affordable housing in the great cities of the North.
"London is now semi-detached from the rest of the country. There's a perception that it's just pockets in Kensington or Chelsea, but increasingly the homes in zone two or zone three [of the London Underground map] are going out of the price range of normal people."
He also said the Bank of England needed to change its "culture of trust", and get tougher with the UK's biggest banks.
Mr Posen, who served on the Bank's crucial monetary policy committee until 2012, said the central bank should "get away from being so trusting of the banks".
"There now has to be a top-down explicit statement that our bias is towards market solutions, not cosy conversations with banks... saying that the Bank of England is neither the friend, nor the enemy, of our banks," he said.
"It was, in my opinion, not corrupt - but it was badly mistaken."
Mr Posen also criticised Bank governor Mark Carney for his policy of forward guidance, which had originally said that interest rates would be reconsidered once unemployment fell to 7%.
That part of the policy has now been sidelined, and forward guidance overhauled.
Mr Posen said it had been an "irresponsible" idea, but applauded the decision to then withdraw the unemployment target.

You programme where you want to go and this driverless pod will take you there.
It's being trialled in Milton Keynes.
It can carry two passengers and travel at 15 miles an hour.
The Lutz Pathfinder pod, is electric-powered.
It has 19 sensors, cameras, radar and a remote sensing technology that measures distance by lighting up a target with a laser and examining the reflected light.
During the trial, three pods will drive themselves on the pavements and through the pedestrian area of the city.
If successful, a fleet of 40 vehicles will be rolled out.
These vehicles will be able to talk to each other. They will be connected to a smart phone app that will let people hail them.
Lawro's opponent for the midweek Premier League fixtures is Kieran Shudall, singer and guitarist in indie-rock band Circa Waves.
Shudall has been an Everton fan since he was a boy and says his favourite player was Duncan Ferguson.
"I can't quite remember why I am an Evertonian - my brother must have convinced me when I was three or four that they were the best team," Shudall told BBC Sport.
Maybe Leighton Baines will come to see us at a gig one day and I can pat him on the back and say 'nice one'
"But I always felt more attracted to them than Liverpool anyway. When I was younger I was always quite into Dunc - he was tall, fearless and really cool.
"At the moment I like Steven Naismith, because he seems to put in more effort than anyone else, and Leighton Baines too.
"Baines is into his guitar music and and he looks like a bit of a mod. He is also one of the best crossers of a ball in the Premier League - maybe he will come to see us at a gig one day and I can pat him on the back and tell him 'nice one'."
Circa Waves are set to release their debut album and start a UK tour, and Shudall admits that it is always difficult for the band to follow football as much as they would like when they are on the road.
Sam Rourke (bass) is a Liverpool fan, Colin Jones (drums) supports Tottenham and Joe Falconer (guitar) backs Aston Villa.
"Joe supports Villa, but not much really," Shudall added. "He is probably the least into it, but we all enjoy it.
"It is quite difficult obviously on tour to try to keep up with all the games, but we try our best."
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. Getting the exact score correct earns THREE points.
Last week, Lawro got three correct results from eight Premier League games, including two perfect scores.
His score of seven points saw him beat England rugby union star George Ford, who picked five correct results but with no perfect scores to earn five points.
Lawro also correctly guessed the score and result in the Capital One Cup final, but that does not count towards his weekly total or average for the season.
Any points earned for the two Premier League games which were postponed because of that tie will be added after the matches take place.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

Fourteen pumps were tackling the blaze on Sunday which is believed to have affected a derelict nightclub called The Mud Club on The Esplanade.
The service said residents had been evacuated to a local leisure centre as crews faced "difficult conditions".
People have been advised to avoid the area.
Polls suggest the partnership of Chancellor Werner Faymann's Social Democrats and the conservative People's Party - formed in 2007 and re-elected in 2008 - may just about weather a tough challenge from a trio of right-wing populist, ecologist and free-market parties.
Currently the party with the most seats, the Social Democrat party - known by its German acronym SPOe - is focusing on jobs and pensions. It wants a tax on "millionaires", tax cuts for low earners and the extension of a bank levy.
Its leader, Chancellor Werner Faymann, 53, claims credit for keeping unemployment relatively low through the global economic crisis.
The People's Party (OeVP), is campaigning for measures to free businesses from red tape, and opposes new taxes - including the Social Democrats' wealth tax - as a strain on the economy.
The second largest party, it hopes to overtake the Social Democrats and install its leader, Michael Spindelegger, 53, currently Mr Faymann's deputy, in the top job.
Both parties have dominated Austrian politics since World War II. Unusual elsewhere, "grand coalitions" - initially aimed at avoiding Austria's pre-war turbulence - have been in government for 39 of the past 68 years.
However, a series of scandals and perceived inertia have eroded their combined share of the vote from 90% in the 1980s to just over 50%.
The main challenger is the Eurosceptic and anti-immigration Freedom Party (FPOe). The party, which has hopes of overtaking the People's Party, accuses the traditional duopoly of bloating the public sector, corruption and permitting too much immigration. Critics say the party panders to xenophobia.
Between 2000 and 2005, under charismatic far-right leader Joerg Haider, it formed a coalition with the People's Party that was widely condemned by EU leaders. Damaged by the late Haider's 2005 breakaway, its fortunes have since revived under current leader Heinz-Christian Strache, 44, a similarly polarising figure.
Also expected to do well are the Greens, led by Eva Glawischnig, 44. In addition to their traditional environment themes, they have sought to capitalise on a funding scandal involving the government parties.
A newcomer to Austrian politics is Team Stronach, the brainchild of Austrian-Canadian car-parts billionaire Frank Stronach, 81. Its strongly free-market programme includes demands for a flat tax and the abolition of the euro.
The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZOe), the slightly more moderate 2005 breakaway from the Freedom Party led by Josef Bucher, 48, may struggle to get back into parliament.
Barring surprises, another grand coalition looks likeliest. Mr Faymann has stated openly that is what he wants, and pollsters say the two leading parties have only an outside chance of losing their majority.
While keeping his options open, Mr Spindelegger has said his other possible coalition - with the Freedom Party and Team Stronach - is unrealistic, citing their Eurosceptic policies. A third option - a Social Democrat-Green coalition - looks unlikely to win a majority.
Opinion polls have the Social Democrats steady on 26-7% (29% at the last election in 2008), the People's Party on 22-23% (26% in 2008), the Freedom Party on 20-21% (18%) the Greens on 14-15% (10%), the Alliance for the Future of Austria on 2% (11%) and Team Stronach on 7%.
The 183 deputies in the National Council- the lower house of parliament - are elected by a complex system of proportional representation, using 39 regional constituencies, Austria's nine federal states and the entire country as electoral districts.
The system seeks to closely match the number of parties' seats in parliament to their share of votes cast, provided they reach a minimum hurdle of 4% of the vote.
It ensures parties rarely win an absolute majority, and coalitions are needed most of the time. The upper house of parliament, the Federal Council, which represents the federal states, is not involved in this election.

A big claim from Penzance-based coach Nathan Kitchen, but perhaps one that is not as wild as it appears, for the athlete in question is Lucy Payne.
The 24-year-old from Cornwall is the reigning WBC featherweight champion at Muay Thai - a sport that has just been given Olympic recognition.
It means in 2024, she and the best of her fellow fighters could be representing Team GB at the Olympics.
Kitchen knows what he is talking about. He has coached five fighters to world titles from his base at the Touchgloves Gym in Penzance.
"It's a very devastating sport, you would have to be training two or three times a day to make Olympic standard," he tells BBC Radio Cornwall.
Devastating is a good way of describing the sport - it is kickboxing with the added twist of being able to throw elbows and knees as well - a far cry from other recent Olympics additions such as competitive cheerleading and surfing.
"The dedication behind it is unbelievable, the conditioning you have to do and every fight you compete in is so hard," added Kitchen.
"Hopefully now we'll get the recognition we need, as we've been doing this now for so long without the recognition, so it's a godsend that this has come forward."
So what about Kitchen's future Olympic champion?
"I've been all around the world now and Muay Thai is massive, but it's not got the following that it needs," says Payne.
"For us to be in the Olympics would be great, there are so many young children training their hearts out every single day, but they're not getting anything for it, so we could have so many Olympic champions."
There is no guarantee that Muay Thai will ever be selected for an Olympics - sports including squash, bridge, sumo and netball all have recognition but have never made it into a games programme.
The sports for Tokyo 2020 have already been set with surfing, skateboarding and karate all set to make their debut in Japan, but whoever gets the right to stage the games in 2024 could include Muay Thai now it has recognition.
"It would be a dream to have everyone behind me, I'd be so overwhelmed if I got that opportunity," Payne said of the thought of taking part in an Olympics.
"Now that people are talking about it hopefully we can get some funding behind it, and once you've got the funding I don't see why it should take very long at all."
Dozens of activists hurled petrol bombs and stones at police and set cars alight after the march.
The unrest came ahead of a vote by the German parliament on Friday on whether to extend financial aid for Greece.
The deal, approved by Greece and international creditors last week, has triggered dissent within Syriza itself.
If ratified, the agreement will give Greece a four-month bailout extension in return for government reforms.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has defended it, but some on the hard left have accused the government of going back on pre-election pledges.
Syriza swept to power in January by promising to renegotiate the country's debt and end austerity.
About 450 far-left protesters took to the streets of Athens on Thursday to voice their anger.
After the march, about 50 demonstrators clashed with riot police. Shop windows and bus stops were also smashed.
Eurozone finance ministers on Tuesday approved a set of reform proposals submitted by Greece, but parliamentary votes in several countries is needed for final approval of the bailout extension.
As the dominant economic power in the EU, Germany's approval is regarded as crucial.
On Thursday a clear majority of MPs from Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right CDU/CSU bloc voted in favour of extending the €240bn (£176bn; $272bn) bailout for Greece - which is currently due to run out on 28 February.
The centre-left Social Democrats, junior partners in Mrs Merkel's coalition, voted unanimously in favour.
Mrs Merkel's grand coalition has a commanding majority in the Bundestag and the ballot suggests German backing for an extra four months is in no doubt.
Although German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, has backed an extension and called for the parliamentary vote on Friday, he remains sceptical of the new Greek government's reform efforts.
"The question is whether one can believe the Greek government's assurances or not," he reiterated in an interview with German radio on Thursday.
"There is a lot of doubt in Germany, that has to be understood. Only when we see that they have fulfilled [their promises] will any money be paid."
Hawkish elements within Mrs Merkel's CDU (Christian Democratic Union) and its Bavarian sister party, the CSU (Christian Social Union), have portrayed the extension deal as leniency for Greece.
Greek pledges: Key points
Pressure still on despite deal
The Twitter activist Shami Witness played an important role in amplifying the message of IS and had over 17,000 followers before he disappeared - more than some of the key jihadist media groups.
But he was just one of an army of online supporters the group relies on to spread its message in a range of languages - none of whom operate officially on behalf of the group.
IS was forced to abandon its official presence on Twitter in July due to a sustained clampdown by the site administration following the group's rapid expansion across Iraq and Syria.
It then experimented with a string of other platforms like the privacy-focused Diaspora and the popular Russian VKontakte, where accounts were also soon shut down due to their involvement in the distribution of high profile beheading videos.
Since then, IS appears to have resorted to underground channels to surface its material, which is then disseminated by loosely affiliated media groups who are capable of mobilising a vast network of individual supporters on social media to target specific audiences.
Trending hashtags - particularly those popular in the West - are hijacked to reach unsuspecting audiences, and videos removed from YouTube and other platforms are swiftly made available again.
Shami Witness, who Channel 4 News has revealed to be a Bangalore-based company executive, was one of the most popular voices among the English-speaking jihadist community - an audience IS has targeted with slick propaganda from its multilingual media outfit Al-Hayat Media.
He would repeatedly promote new IS propaganda to help widen its reach.
A study by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ISCR) earlier this year showed him to be the top disseminator of jihadist propaganda followed by foreign fighters in Syria.
After being outed, Shami Witness appears to have deactivated his account. But his disappearance is unlikely to have much impact on the spread of IS's message.
IS supporters and media support groups are regularly suspended from Twitter and many have developed a series of tactics to maintain their presence there, regularly changing their user names and handles or setting up a string of back-up accounts.
The group's ability to keep getting its message out in the face of intensive counter-measures is due to the agility, resilience and adaptability of this largely decentralised force - many of whom, like Shami Witness, may be operating from the comfort of their homes or offices, far from any front line.

Kory Friesen, known as Semphis, said he had taken an ADHD medicine called Adderall at a tournament in March.
The Electronic Sports League (ESL) said it would work with the World Anti-Doping Agency to create a "fair, feasible and conclusive" policy.
One video game expert told the BBC doping was a "big problem".
Competitive gaming, known as eSports, is a growing phenomenon.
The ESL says it is the world's largest eSports organisation, with close to six million members.
Players take part in global tournaments for the chance to win prizes of up to $500,000 (£322,700).
"A lot of games are about the number of interactions per minute and you need fast reflexes to compete," said Tom Phillips, deputy news editor for the Eurogamer website.
"Some of the competitions are worth a lot of money and you might get fame and sponsorship deals too. You can see why some people enhance their performance illegally.
"I think it's a big problem, if the sport is going to be taken seriously," he said.
Mr Friesen candidly admitted taking Adderall during a competition in an interview posted on YouTube.
Adderall is a brand of stimulant only available with a prescription. It is typically used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Some people take it illegally because they find it increases concentration and reduces reaction times.
"In traditional sports, athletes might take performance-enhancing drugs to increase their physical ability," said Mr Phillips.
"In eSports, gamers take them to increase mental ability."
On Thursday, the ESL said it would introduce checks for performance-enhancing drugs to "maintain the spirit of fair play within eSports".
The company said it would conduct skin tests at its next tournament in August, although it had not yet published a list of banned substances.
It also announced a prevention programme to educate gamers about the risks of doping, and provide "the structural support they need to help them manage the physical and emotional pressure of professional gaming".
Mr Phillips said: "It's a new form of entertainment and it's only because one guy stepped forward that it's been forced to act.
"Hopefully now there's pressure on other organisations like Major League Gaming to step up too."
The Dingwall-based club has reduced the price of an adult season ticket for the Jail End south stand by £100 to £200.
It has also reduced the prices offered to young fans, including a new £5 season ticket for under 12s, and cut over 65s and over 75s' costs.
The lowered prices follows the club's offer of free entry to home and away fans for this season's last home game.
Hamilton Academical will visit the Staggies' Global Energy Stadium on Tuesday 16 May with the match kicking off at 19:45.
Ross County's chairman Roy MacGregor said the decision to offer cheaper season tickets had followed a meeting with fans.
He said: "We have been holding regular supporters meetings this season and it became apparent from those that football in general has become too expensive.
"We've not raised the price of season tickets for five years but we wanted to go further than that and try to make football more affordable and get more people along on a Saturday afternoon.
"Bringing the price of an adult season ticket for the Jail End down from £300 to £200 is quite a dramatic discount and, we hope it will really make those seats more accessible to those who may have struggled at the old price."
He added: "People who want to sit in the East/West stands have had their season ticket prices frozen again and they will be able to take advantage of a 10% discount through our early bird scheme."
The club has put information on how to obtain the free tickets for the 16 May game on its website.
Both County and Hamilton are in the bottom half of the Scottish Premier League, with the Highland side in seventh spot and Hamilton in 10th.
Traditionally, theatres and music venues issue two tickets to every attending critic, so they can bring a friend or colleague to shows.
But the National Theatre website now states that, from August, critics will have to purchase any extra tickets.
The company said the move would allow them to offer more seats to critics from online and broadcast media.
The change in policy was first noticed in a press release for the upcoming production of the Threepenny Opera at the National's Olivier Theatre.
A line at the bottom stated: "In some cases, it may be possible to buy a second ticket. If you would like to bring a guest, do let us know."
Mark Shenton, chairman of the drama section of the Critics' Circle and lead critic of The Stage, raised the issue with the National Theatre after feedback from colleagues.
In a letter to the company, he said other critics were concerned the "breach of a long-established protocol" would "spread to other theatres".
"Of course there is no automatic right to a second free ticket, and this is definitely in the category of privilege not a right," he said.
"But the National also imposed it without any prior notice or consultation whatsoever, and it was only on a close reading of the latest invitation to their next production that the new policy came to light."
Responding to Mr Shenton's concerns, Vicky Kington, the National Theatre's head of press, said the company would delay implementing the new policy until August.
"Having listened to your concerns it is clear that we did not give enough time to introduce this change," Ms Kington wrote back to Mr Shenton.
"With this in mind we can now confirm that the NT's policy of offering a pair of press tickets on press night to each show in the Olivier and Lyttelton, will remain in place until August 2016, when the new policy of one ticket, plus one to buy, will begin."
Ms Kington suggested more tickets will go to bloggers in an attempt to get more reviews published outside of print media.
"Whilst it's vital that we maintain and nurture the highly-valued, long-standing relationships we already have with the press, we also need to reach new audiences through wider engagement with broadcast, print and online media," Ms Kington said.
A spokesman for the National Theatre said second tickets will be available to buy at a special rate of £20.
The Telegraph's theatre critic Dominic Cavendish criticised the new policy.
"The need to listen to others, justify opinions, thrash things out in intervals and after the show - what most audience-members do, after all - is essential on occasion to maintaining perspective, and reining in tendencies to egotism or kill-joyism," he said.
"The plus one is an invaluable, inexpensive extra weapon in a critic's armoury - aimed, honourably, at striking after the 'truth' of an experience - and for any theatre to deprive lead reviewers of that weapon is only to shoot itself in the foot."
Some critics have suggested the move is in response to a string of poor reviews that recent productions at the National Theatre have received.
Wonder.land, Here We Go and Evening at the Talk House have all received negative reviews since Rufus Norris took over as artistic director in March 2015.

Bolt's London finale ended in disappointment as he suffered a muscle cramp before the end of the 4x100m relay final which was won by Great Britain.
Yohan Blake said: "The race was 10 minutes late, we were kept 40 minutes. It was crazy.
"They were holding us too long."
Bolt had hoped to bring an end to his career with another two gold medals in London but leaves with only a bronze from last weekend's 100m.
And, seconds after taking the baton for Jamaica's anchor leg, he pulled up and tumbled to the floor with Dr Kevin Jones, Jamaica's team doctor, confirming Bolt had cramp in his left hamstring.
"It was 40 minutes and two medal presentations before our run," added former world 100m champion Blake.
"We keep warming up and waiting, then warming up and waiting. I think it got the better of us.
"It hurts to see a true legend, a true champion go out there and struggle like that."
110m hurdle champion Omar McLeod, who led out the Jamaican team which had won the 4x100m relay in each of the last four world championships, echoed the criticism of delays at the start of the final.
Mo Farah's lap of honour after his second place in the 5,000m final seemed to delay the schedule, with Farah also receiving his medal before the relay final.
"It's heart-wrenching," he said. "I gave it my all and I really wanted Usain to leave golden, or even if it was just a medal.
"It was ridiculous, man. We waited a really long time. I drank two bottles of water.
"But Usain Bolt's name will always live on."

100m champion Justin Gatlin called Bolt 'still the best in the world' after he won silver behind Great Britain, and also felt that the weather may have played a part in Bolt's injury.
"I think it was the elements (that caused the injury)," he said. "I'm sorry he got this injury. He is still the best in the world.
"This is farewell time, I am sentimental about it already now. In the warm-up area, we give ourselves respect and greeted each other. Usain Bolt is a great athlete."
"I think it was just one season too many," said former Olympic champion Michael Johnson.
"I think Bolt was prepared to not win but I don't think he would have expected his last race to end like that. He would have wanted to cross the finish line.
"Even if he was just closing on the guys ahead - he wanted to give this crowd a show so they can say "I saw Usain Bolt run down the finishing straight."
"That was disappointing to see. We saw him in a way we have never seen before. In the 100m straining to try to finish and now we see him limping."
Former Olympic medallist Darren Campbell believes that Bolt's impact off the track is almost as hard to replace as his skill and records on it.
Bolt's charisma, charm and character have made him one of the most recognisable and marketable people on the planet.
"Any stadium that Usain Bolt decides to grace ends up being full, that tells you all you need to know," Campbell said.
"What we are witnessing is so powerful, so inspirational, he can't be replaced. How do you replace him - as a sports star and a human being?
"Usain Bolt treats you the same whether you are a dignitary or the poorest man in the world. That's a unique skill.
"Whether he was a successful sports person or not, I think he would still have that flamboyant character. How do you teach that? I don't think you can."
It happened just before 10:00 BST on Saturday on an eastbound stretch of the A69 between Haydon Bridge and Bardon Mill in Northumberland.

The current high is being attributed to surging demand in China, where authorities warn it is used to channel money out of the country.
The past months' surge is a major reversal for Bitcoin, which plummeted in value in 2014 after the largest exchange collapsed.
The value of Bitcoin has been volatile since it was first launched in 2009, and many experts have questioned whether the crypto-currency will last.
Earlier this year, Chinese authorities cracked down on Bitcoin trading in an attempt to stop money flowing out of the country illegally.
But the closer scrutiny from Beijing only briefly sent the currency lower. After it had soared to record highs in January, it has since picked its steady rise in value.
Bitcoin is attractive to some users because of its anonymity, as well as its lack of government control.
The website Silk Road was closed in 2013 following raids by the FBI and other agencies amid allegations of drug dealing. Authorities seized millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin during the raids.
Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency. Yet like all currencies its value is determined by how much people are willing to exchange it for.
To process Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" must take place, which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution.
For each problem solved, one block of Bitcoins is processed. In addition the miner is rewarded with new Bitcoins.
To compensate for the growing power of computer chips, the difficulty of the puzzles is adjusted to ensure a steady stream of new Bitcoins are produced each day.
There are currently about 15 million Bitcoins in existence.
To receive a Bitcoin, a user must have a Bitcoin address - a string of 27-34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual post-box to and from which the Bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no register of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction.
These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets, which are used to manage savings.
The company said it had been granted planning permission for the hatchery at Barcaldine, near Oban, following consultation with the local community.

Construction of the land-based freshwater facility is expected to start within weeks.
The site will be used to rear young salmon, or smolts, until they are ready to transfer to sea farms.
The first fish reared in the facility are expected to enter the water in 2019.
SSF said the investment was part of plans to invest a total of £70m in improving and maintaining its existing sites and acquiring new ones over the next few years.
Managing director Jim Gallagher said: "This will be transformational for Scottish Sea Farms, raising our production of smolts from five million to 11 million annually, and helping us to meet the rising global demand for our premium Scottish salmon and to grow our harvest volumes and revenues sustainably.
"It will also further increase our contribution to Scotland's economic prosperity and the development of our coastal communities."
SSF, which has more than 440 employees, is jointly owned by SalMar and the Leroy Seafood Group of Norway.
Kathryn Smith said she received £52 a week in income support, some of which was used to buy the Class B substance.
Jurors previously heard she was concerned 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith may have had a seizure after taking drugs kept at the house.
Ms Smith and ex-partner Matthew Rigby both deny murder.
More on this and other stories from Stoke and Staffordshire
The toddler, known as AJ, died in 2014 at the couple's flat in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.
Under questioning from prosecutors, Ms Smith, 23, said she did not initially tell doctors treating Ayeeshia over her fears she had accessed drugs because she feared they would think she was "a bad mother".
She also said she did not tell police about the drugs being at home because she knew they were illegal.
A quantity of cannabis worth £30 was found inside a Tommee Tippee plastic cup at the property on Britannia Drive after Ayeeshia's death but Ms Smith said her daughter did not use the cup as it was broken.
The court heard a senior social worker had reported seeing Ms Smith, of Sandfield Road, Nottingham, looking "spaced out" during a home visit a week prior to Ayeeshia's collapse, although her daughter had not been in the house at the time.
Two social workers had tried to conduct an on-the-spot drugs search at the flat on 17 April 2014, days before Ayeeshia died, after smelling cannabis, but Ms Smith refused to comply.
Text messages made by Ms Smith to Mr Rigby and her parents were mentioned by the prosecution, including one where she threatened her father on the day Ayeeshia died.
Christopher Hotten QC, prosecuting, said the message showed her in a bad temper "on the day somebody killed your daughter in anger".
However, Ms Smith said: "Nobody was angry on that day, or the day before that, nobody was being angry that day."
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court previously heard her death was caused when her heart was torn by a forceful stamp.
Medical experts said the injuries were normally only seen in car crash victims or people who have fallen off buildings.
The trial continues.
Ardress House near Portadown in County Armagh was built in the 1700s and developed over the years into one of the finest examples of a gentleman's farmhouse on the island of Ireland.
But in the 1960s a cement render was put on the building that stopped it breathing and it started to sweat.
Trapped moisture over the decades since had begun to cause damage inside.
It was left susceptible to damp, cracking and flaking paint.
Now, in order to preserve the building, the trust has removed the cement plaster and is replacing it with a more traditional finish.
The lime-based render, which is less dense, will allow the building to breathe and in time should sort out the damp.
"What happened in the mid-1900s was there was a departure from traditional building methods," said Edward Mason of the National Trust.
"What we've discovered over the last 20 to 30 years is damp that is starting to grow in parts of the structure of the house."
A team of specialist plasterers is working on the job that is expected to take about a year to complete.
Ivor Condy, who is in charge of the operation, says lime render is "challenging" to work with.
It dries quickly and needs a lot of preparation to prevent cracking. In the worst case scenario it can just fall off the wall.
"You have to live with it when you start the job, you can't go away and leave it," he added.
"Generally when you speak to normal plasterers about lime render, they'll run a mile. They're just not used to it.
"It's like everything involved in conservation work, it takes a lot of patience."
About 8,000 people a year visit Ardress House.
When the work is finished it won't look a lot different, but the building will feel a whole lot better.
Mr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally.
He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.
The New York Times called Mr Trump's actions "outrageous".
21 things that Donald Trump believes
A Muslim marine's retort to Donald Trump
Referring to the 2001 article (published by the Washington Post) at a South Carolina rally on Tuesday night, Mr Trump called Mr Kovaleski "a nice reporter".
"Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy," he continued, before launching into an apparent impression of Mr Kovaleski, waving his arms around with his hands at an odd angle.
"Uhh I don't know what I said. Uhh I don't remember. He's going like 'I don't remember. Maybe that's what I said.'"
Mr Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a condition that affects the movement of joints and is noticeable in his right arm and hand.
A New York Times spokeswoman told news site Politico: "We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters,"
The original Washington Post article by Mr Kovaleski said that authorities in Jersey City "detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river".
Since Mr Trump's claims about Muslim Americans celebrating 9/11, the reporter has said he does "not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating".
The mayor of Jersey City has said Mr Trump's claims are "plain wrong".
Mr Kovaleski reported on Mr Trump between 1987 and 1993. He has said he is sure the businessman remembers him and his physical condition, the Washington Post reported.
"The sad part about it is, it didn't in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record," he was quoted as saying.
Donald Trump's campaign has not officially commented, but the tycoon has taken to Twitter to attack the New York Times.
It will see road closures on Saturday as rugby fans flock to the Millennium Stadium, while a strike is also planned by some Cardiff Bus drivers.
On Sunday, Wales will face Israel at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Train operators said crowd management systems will be in place.
Cynthia Ogbonna, managing director of Cardiff Bus, said the number of its services running on Saturday was "not yet known".
"We are extremely apologetic for inconveniencing our customers and will do our best to ensure that we keep Cardiff moving during this time," she said.
On Sunday, there will be further bus route changes up until midday, as the city holds the Cardiff 10K race, with further road closures.
A spokesman for Arriva Train Wales added: "As with all major events in Cardiff we are expecting our services to be very busy this weekend."
Cardiff council said it would also be operating park and ride facilities to get rugby fans into the city centre on Saturday.
"A crowd of 50,000 is expected and the City of Cardiff Council is advising people to allow plenty of time to get into the city," said a spokesman.

James Bolton's first goal for Gateshead looked like setting up a routine afternoon for the Heed after five minutes, but that lead lasted only a minute as Tobi Sho-Silva struck a quickfire equaliser with a drilled shot from 20 yards.
The former Charlton forward added his second with a cool finish from close range after 11 minutes, before Joe Anderson made it 3-1 to the hosts with an opportunist strike nine minutes before the interval.
Tempers frayed as the second half wore on, with both sides going down to 10 men as Manny Smith and Sho-Silva saw red for second yellow cards.
Danny Johnson pulled one back for Gateshead from the spot with 10 minutes remaining, but it was too late to affect the outcome.

The day after the Boston Marathon bombings, Yusef was treated differently.
The 10-year-old went to his Ohio school and was surprised by a question from a classmate, according to his family. While the class was discussing the explosions, the classmate is said to have asked: "Does that mean Yusef is going to blow up the school?"
A confused Yusef, whose family asked that his last name not be used, says he repeated the classmate's question. But the teacher apparently only heard Yusef's end of the exchange, a misunderstanding that resulted in detention and having his locker searched.
This story is exactly what Anum Hussain feared when she first heard of the bombings. Hussain is a regional director with the Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament and teaches Muslim youth about bullying.
Having grown up in the aftermath of 9/11, Hussain worries that this generation of Muslims could be bullied because of the blasts - especially if the person responsible is a Muslim.
"The sad truth is that regardless of the facts, people are already getting unfairly stereotyped," says Hussain.
"We're all on the edge of our seats praying that the person who did these acts isn't a Muslim. We're tired of being blamed for the actions of one person."
It's a sentiment shared by many, especially among Arab, African, Asian and Sikh Americans. As the FBI investigation inches closer to finding a suspect, these communities fear a new wave of ethnically charged violence and harassment.
Some Muslims see progress in the way they are treated, and are heartened by the official response to the Boston attacks, which has used language with care and deliberation.
"It starts with the leadership of the country, if they are being able to do this slowly, it will trickle down to the people," one woman at a meeting of the Islamic Society of Northeastern University told the BBC.
"Even news and online articles are starting to tone down a little from a few years ago. People are starting to understand that not all Muslims are bad."
But others are concerned that the good work of the past few years could be quickly undone if the bomber is Muslim.
"Despite some of the headway and normalcy achieved since 9/11, it could be extinguished in an instant if the perpetrator fits the caricature of a terrorist," says Khaled Beydoun, a critical race studies fellow at UCLA School of Law.
When Beydoun heard about the Boston attacks, he was worried about a friend who was running in the marathon. But a familiar fear crept into his mind as he thought about who was responsible for the attacks.
From crises such as the Newtown shootings to the blasts in Boston, Beydoun has always worried about the national reaction if the perpetrator is a Muslim or "looks" Muslim.
"It's part of this collective consciousness that Muslims and Arab-Americans experience in any time of crisis," says Beydoun.
He thinks that white suspects are treated differently to suspects from minority groups.
"With a white American versus an Arab or Muslim American, we know from previous incidences that a white terrorist will be framed as an individual aberration," he says.
"Whereas a culprit who is an Arab, Muslim or black American will vilify an entire community of people."
Many people point to the shootings in Newtown, Oak Creek, and Aurora as examples - the white men all responsible for those tragedies were described as being mentally ill, not representative of an entire culture or race.
As major cities across the nation tightened security to prepare for additional threats, Muslims and advocacy groups braced for their own set of dangers. Past data points to spikes in hate crimes associated with major attacks in the US, especially after 9/11.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council is one of the organisations preparing for a potential backlash against Muslims in the US.
President Salam Al-Marayati says the organisation has reached out to Homeland Security officials and law enforcement, routine steps for any advocacy group working with Muslims and vulnerable communities.
While no-one can predict the magnitude of response if the person responsible for the Boston bombings is Muslim, it could be comparable to 9/11, says Trevor Aaronson, author of the Terror Factory.
"You'll see a similar ratcheting up of Islamophobia that right now exists under the surface," he says.
The prospect of harassment reminiscent of the post-9/11 environment worries Hussain.
"I didn't start getting bullied until after 9/11," says Hussain. "And it continued through middle school, through high school and up to college; it's not something that ever stops."
Muslims have been under the public microscope since Monday's bombings.
In the absence of facts and a suspect, pundits are scrambling to speculate on who is to blame. Inaccurate media reports quickly identified a Saudi national as a person of interest, but the man was later cleared of any association with the attacks - he was merely a victim of the explosion.
"The fact that this individual was brown, Arab-looking and on site put him within the terrorist caricature that people have in mind," says Beydoun.
An outpouring of tweets and blog posts have also been circling the social sphere. Many of the messages are ones of support, but several expose a xenophobic undercurrent in the American response to the tragedy. Tweets with racist expletives blamed "sand monkeys" and "towel heads" for the attacks, while the word "Muslim" even trended on Twitter this week.
While many people say it shouldn't matter what the culprit's faith or ethnicity is, Beydoun knows it will sadly have major significance.
"Does it matter if it's a Caucasian woman?" he asks. "No, probably not. But does it matter to the millions of Muslims living in the US? Yes, it does. It has very practical significance on the trajectory of our entire lives, and on the frightening backlash against entire communities."
For Hussain, while she's frustrated with some of the reactions since the bombings, she's overwhelmed by the support from the Boston community and remains hopeful for a fair outcome of the FBI investigation.
"My hope is that regardless whether the person who committed these terrible acts is white, Muslim or black, people will remain understanding," she says.
"People will understand that the bombings have nothing to do with any group or religion."
It's a hope she clings to while watching the news with anticipation.
Joseph Martin Healy raped, urinated on and choked his partner when she was eight months pregnant with their child.
Londonderry Crown Court also heard that he bit and scraped her with a kitchen knife in their home.
The woman reported the abuse to the police in September 2013.
On Thursday, a judge said the sexual and physical violence perpetrated by Healy was some of the worst he had encountered.
Healy, whose address was listed as Maghaberry Prison, stood impassively in the dock as the judge outlined in graphic detail the eight charges he had admitted.
The abuser carried out the sexual and physical assaults on his partner of three years between February and September of 2013, when she was 20 years old.
The offences took place during her pregnancy and continued after she had given birth.
The judge said the rapes took place on three consecutive mornings after the victim was woken by Healy urinating on her face.
Healy also punched his partner to heighten his sexual feelings during intercourse.
The judge said there was "humiliating violence over and above the sexual offending".
"There is no doubt that this offending was all carried out during a time when the victim was, in effect, dictated to by the defendant," he added.
"There is a not insignificant age gap of some five years, which may well be very relevant.
"There has been a lasting impact on the victim and one can only hope that she and her child will have a good future."
After his arrest in 2013, Healy admitted the physical abuse to the police, but denied the sexual offences.
One one occasion, after abusing his partner, Healy assaulted her mother 48 hours after he was released from residential care.
He was jailed for 18 months for that offence in January last year.
A victim impact report compiled by a consultant psychiatrist stated that the victim had suffered considerably on a psychological level and that her ongoing treatment and medication would continue for the foreseeable future.
Healy's trial date was fixed for last May, but shortly before the trial was due to start, he changed his not guilty pleas and admitted the offences.
As well as the 12-year sentence, Healy will be subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order for an indefinite period.
"If you had contested these matters and had been found guilty by a jury, I would have imposed a sentence of 16 years," the judge told Healy.
Promotion to Division One was confirmed this week despite losing to Glamorgan.
But they seemingly knew it was a given after April's win over Gloucestershire.
"There was about six of us standing on tables, three of the lads were stood on the bar. We all believed it," pace bowler Jamie Porter told BBC Essex.
Following a change of rules, only one promotion place was available this summer.
Going into their game against the Welsh side, Essex required six points to clinch it, and that came down to five when title rivals Sussex failed to achieve maximum bonus points against Worcestershire at Hove.
Promotion was sealed when skipper Ryan ten Doeschate hit a single to earn them the second batting point they needed to seal what they all seemed to know was inevitable five months previously.
"We had a few beers, it was late at night and we were chanting in the pub we were going to win the league.
"It's a bit of a joke in the dressing room, but we said it at the start of the year, so we're proud of that," said opener Nick Browne.
The 31-year-old shot a bogey-free 66 at Sheshan International to finish six under par, two shots behind Sweden's Rikard Karlberg.
American Ryder Cup star Rickie Fowler, playing with Knox, shot a 65 to sit second after the first round.
Knox aims to become only the second player after Tiger Woods to retain a World Golf Championships title.
After starting on the back nine, Knox followed four straight pars with the same number of birdies in succession from the 14th, before picking up further shots on the third and seventh.
"I'm always thrilled with no bogeys and my first round is never my strongest round," said the world number 20 from Inverness.
"I didn't put any pressure on myself. I didn't feel overly tight out there, so I was proud of myself to kind of relax and enjoy it. It can only be your first defence once, so I'll make sure I'm going to have a good time the next three days.
"The conditions were just like this on Sunday last year, very dark and dreich, as the Scots would say, with a little mist and rain. The course played long today, which is fine for me.
"If it's lift, clean and place [preferred lies], as long as I'm on the fairway I can compete around here."
Knox was joined on six under par by American Daniel Berger and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, with England's Paul Casey on five under, along with Francesco Molinari, another former champion, and Bill Haas.
Spain's Sergio Garcia is a shot further back, while Rory McIlroy ended the day seven shots off the pace after a round of 71.
Surprise leader Karlberg birdied his first four holes and reached nine under par after 16, only to bogey the 18th after finding sand off the tee and thick rough with his recovery.
"Everything was so easy," he said. "It was just one of those days, it was a walk in the park. I committed to a lot of shots, hit them perfect, just as I wanted and I stayed aggressive on my putting all the way around, which I feel was good.
"I hit great shots all day except the last hole and it was a great day. It felt amazing on every part of the game."
In 1988, Pitchfork admitted raping and murdering two 15-year-old girls, Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, after his DNA matched samples found at the scene of both crimes.
The former baker was caught after the world's first mass screening for DNA, in which 5,000 men in three villages in Leicestershire were asked to volunteer blood or saliva samples; he'd initially evaded capture by getting a friend to take the test for him.
As Pitchfork approaches the end of his 28-year minimum jail term, the ITV drama-documentary, Code of a Killer, was a timely reminder of the debt we owe to the inventor of DNA, Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, and Detective Chief Superintendent David Baker, the investigating officer who had the determination and courage to ensure the technique was applied in the case.
Now, of course, DNA evidence is almost taken for granted.
But over the past two years the operation of the database, and the techniques underpinning it, have altered dramatically in a way that is only just beginning to be understood.
In 2013, as part of the Protection of Freedoms Act, the database was pruned in order to remove the details of innocent people - 1.7 million profiles of children and of adults who hadn't been convicted of any crime were deleted.
That Act was the result of a battle by civil liberty campaigners and others after the European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2008 that the then UK Government's "blanket and indiscriminate" policy of storing DNA profiles indefinitely failed to strike "a fair balance" between an individual's right to privacy and the state's interest in tackling crime.
Under the Act, a complicated system of retention rules was introduced to differentiate between adults and those under 18; between people who have been cautioned or convicted and those who haven't; and between low-level offences and crimes such as burglary, rape, murder and terrorism.
The new arrangements are so convoluted that even the man responsible for overseeing them, Alastair MacGregor, the Biometrics Commissioner, has cast doubt as to whether they can work effectively and fairly.
In a little-publicised report in December 2014, Mr MacGregor says compliance with the regime, by programming the Police National Computer so that DNA profiles are retained and deleted as they should be, is "an impossible task".
He says "thousands of profiles" that should have been deleted are retained on the database and about 30 have been inadvertently removed.
Kerri Allen, a DNA specialist who used to work for the Forensic Science Service, is also concerned about the new system.
"It's immensely complicated," she says. "The administration involved in removing a profile is far greater than you might imagine.
"I don't know if it's workable."
Of course, it may take time for the new procedures to bed in: there were always likely to be bumps on the road.
But Mr MacGregor has further concerns - about the use of DNA profiles from foreign offenders.
It seems that various legislative hurdles are blocking police forces from holding profiles from foreign nationals known to have committed offences overseas, a problem that may also affect some offenders convicted in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
It's an "unsatisfactory state of affairs," he writes, "which might well be putting the UK public at unnecessary risk."
The new Home Secretary, whoever it is after 7 May, will surely take note.
The other key development is the scientific method now used to obtain DNA profiles.
It is known as DNA 17, because it looks at 17 areas of a person's DNA.
In July 2014, it replaced the previous technique, SGM+, which examined 11 areas, bringing England and Wales in line with other European countries, though Scotland is already now moving to an advanced version - DNA 24.
DNA 17 is a more sensitive test than its predecessor, which means it is possible to produce a profile from smaller, poorer quality and older cell samples.
It provides the tantalising prospect of helping police to solve crimes, particularly "cold cases", previously thought to be impossible to crack.
But among the forensic scientific community there are growing doubts about DNA 17's usefulness in criminal trials.
"DNA 17 is a victim of its own sensitivity," says Duncan Woods, a forensic scientist with Keith Borer Consultants.
He says the new test is so much more sensitive than the earlier techniques that it can pick up fragments of DNA that may be unconnected to a crime.
For instance, testing a door handle at a house burglary using DNA 17 may increase the chance of finding the intruder's DNA, but it also increases the chance of finding the DNA of a neighbour who had popped in for a cup of tea, the policeman who responded to the 999 call, and a passer-by who had innocently transferred their DNA to the homeowner when they stood next to each other at a bus stop.
In its advice for its caseworkers and lawyers, the Crown Prosecution Service says: "Whilst the sensitivity of DNA-17 is such as to increase the risk of DNA contamination from the handling of the samples by the Scenes of Crime Officer and the Forensic Science Provider, it also means that contamination is more easily detected.
"There is also an increased risk of detecting background DNA, which may have been deposited before and after the deposition of the target DNA."
Duncan Woods says every week he is dealing with cases in which DNA 17 has been used to detect a profile from such a small number of cells that he can't reach a conclusion as to its significance.
"That's a pretty regular occurrence," he says.
DNA 17 undoubtedly has huge benefits, in providing police with intelligence that might lead them to a suspect and identifying missing people and human remains. It's also compatible with European DNA databases.
But, together with the new retention rules, there's a sense that the landscape of DNA has changed fundamentally.
With change comes the risk of mistakes, missed opportunities and injustice, as cases work their way through the courts in the years to come.
Not one for fax machines and agents' fees, Slovenian club NK Domzale had a novel way of avoiding the madness of the January transfer window - using LinkedIn.
The online networking service is best known for telling you an old colleague has a better job than yours and is mainly used in the UK by professionals such as lawyers and accountants.
But after Domzale head coach Luka Elsner, 33, posted a message asking for an "offensive right-back" who "must have an EU passport", the top-flight club received 150 applications and signed Spanish defender Alvaro Brachi, 30, just before transfer deadline day.
Jorge Mendes and his fellow agents must be quaking in their loafers.
The advert, posted on 7 January, had got 232 views, 10 likes and eight comments by 2 February and had professional footballers sending in their highlights reels for Elsner to select the best man to fit into his "very offensive 3-4-3 system".
NK Domzale are third in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, eight points behind leaders Olimpija while the league takes a winter break.
But they lost captain Nejc Skubic to Turkish side Konyaspor at the start of the January transfer window.
The club's PR officer Grega Krmavnar told BBC Sport: "NK Domzale only has a small budget, we do not have the money to buy the biggest player.
"We needed a replacement and could not find one in Slovenia and had no other choice of players. LinkedIn was just an idea from our head coach Luka Elsner, so we decided it would be a good way, so Elsner decided to post it on the site on his profile."
Brachi's CV includes spells with Spanish sides Real Betis and Espanyol's second teams, Anorthosis in Cyprus and then Videoton in Hungary. He has not played regularly for two seasons.
"We watched footage of the best candidates and analysed them," Krmavnar said. "Brachi was the best candidate and we decided to invite him to Slovenia to train with us on a one-week trial and then signed him.
"We needed a player who was out of contract or wanted a change of environment and we think have found a very quality player.
"I believe we are the first club to find a player in this way."
Some of the unsuccessful responses from LinkedIn

Cairnshill Methodist Church, off the Saintfield Road in Castlereagh, was broken into on Thursday night.
Mervyn Jess reports.
The deal is valued at $1.1bn (£780m).
The Carmike acquisition comes on the heels of Wanda buying studio Legendary Entertainment, the company behind blockbusters like Jurassic World and The Dark Knight.
Dalian Wanda, the world's biggest movie theatre operator, took over AMC in 2012 for $2.6bn.
The rapidly growing company is led by China's richest man, Wang Jianlin.
Mr Wang has been looking to buy a Hollywood studio for several years and was reported to be in talks with DreamWorks Animation last year, but a deal was not announced.
AMC Entertainment currently has 387 locations and 5,426 screens while Carmike has 276 theatres with 2,954 screens.
Police Scotland said they were Leia McCorrisken, aged three, and her two-year-old brother Seth.
The bodies of the children were recovered from Loch nan Druimnean, north of the village of Kilmelford, after the crash.
A 36-year-old woman was taken to hospital following the accident.
She was taken to hospital in Oban as a precaution and later released.
The three occupants of the car were said by police to have been from Argyll.
A coastguard helicopter and police dive teams had scoured the loch after the alarm was raised at about 16:00 on Wednesday.
The car was recovered from the loch at about 05:00 on Thursday and removed from the scene. The stretch of road involved has also been reopened.
The crash happened on the A816 Oban to Lochgilphead road, about 17 miles from Oban.
Conditions were said to have been very wet at the time, with surface water in many places on the road.
Argyll and Bute MSP Mike Russell said communities in the local area, and across Scotland, will have been "numbed" by the news of the incident.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "You cannot imagine anything worse to happen to a family."
Mr Russell added: "The road is not a good road and the reaction of people I have spoken has been that it is a difficult road to drive at the best of times.
"There was very bad weather yesterday. There was a lot of rain and low cloud.
"I think it is understandable in terms of the location and weather it would have been a dangerous situation."
Nearly a third of the 1,350 people polled believed that lead singer Annie Lennox sings: "Sweet dreams are made of cheese/Who am I to disagree?"
The song, which reached number two in the UK chart in 1983, was closely followed by Rihanna's We Found Love.
The Top 10 list of misheard tracks was compiled by streaming service Spotify.
Listeners thought that Grammy-winner Rihanna sings "We found Dove in a soapless place" in her 2011 chart-topper.
The lyrics of country singer KD Lang's song Constant Craving, which came in third with 20% of votes, were misunderstood as "Can't Stand Gravy".
US rock group Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like a Lady, meanwhile, was thought to be "Do it like a lady" by 10% of voters.
More than 10 people believed rockers Bon Jovi sing "It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not" in their 1986 hit, Livin' On A Prayer.
According to the survey, 54% of respondents admitted that hearing incorrect lyrics was a source of frustration to them.
Seven percent of people polled, however, suggested they never got lyrics wrong.
The event takes place at Drumlanrig Castle at Thornhill at the end of August.
Tickets for the festival go on sale from noon on Friday.
Last month organisers announced that the major festival in Dumfries and Galloway, the Wickerman, would not take place this year.
Meanwhile, 250 acts over 11 stages have been lined up for this year's Eden Music Festival - also staged in southern Scotland.
They include Skye and Ross from 1990s trip-hop band Morcheeba; soul singer Andreya Triana; and Coronation Street actor and BBC 6 Music presenter Craig Charles.
The event takes place over three days in June, at Raehills, near Moffat.
The New Zealand international will play five matches as a replacement for Kiwi Corey Anderson, who was injured in the recent Test series against England.
The 34-year-old has scored 263 runs in 15 T20 internationals at an average of 32.87 while he averages 29.45 in ODIs with a highest score of 170 not out.
"Luke is a quality player with plenty of international experience," said director of cricket Matt Maynard.
Ronchi will join Somerset ahead of the T20 Blast match at Middlesex on 26 June.
He will also be available for selection for the home fixtures against Glamorgan (28 June) and Gloucestershire (3 July) and the away games at Kent (10 July) and Surrey (17 July).
Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said it was about "positively promoting" nursing as a job and Wales as a place to live and work.
The Welsh Government also stressed student nursing bursaries would continue for another year for those who sign up to work for two years.
The campaign has used real nurses to tell their stories.
There are nearly 29,400 nurses, midwives and health visitors, which make up the largest proportion of the NHS Wales' workforce.
But around a quarter leave the profession or retire each year, according to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
The shortage is a global one and the health service in Wales is competing with other countries.
The international campaign will target newly-qualified and experienced nurses, as well as those considering returning to the profession.
It follows a successful GP recruitment programme to bring junior doctors to Wales.
Mr Gething added: "We know we need more nurses and it's about how we go about doing that."
He said unlike in England, the Welsh Government had made a choice to keep the bursary for student nurses for at least another year - worth up to £9,000 in grant and loans.
It is available to those who commit in advance to taking up a job with NHS Wales for at least two years after qualifying.
"Maintaining the nurse bursary at a time when it has gone in England is very powerful statement of the deliberate choice we're making to continue investing in nursing," Mr Gething said.
"The extra numbers of nurse trainees we've announced in Wales, it's much more significant than in Scotland and there's a very different approach in England.
"This really does show how Wales is positively different for a purpose - and the campaign is designed to make sure nurses come here, that they're supported and enjoy their life here, not just in work but outside."
The Department of Health in England, where the bursary ended in 2016, would not comment on the Welsh announcement.
The Scottish Government has also made a commitment to keep the bursary.
Arniel Hernando came to work at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor in 2000 from the Philippines with 70 others.
Nursing is a global marketplace and Wales has to compete for staff with different parts of the world.
"I've worked here for 17 years," he said. "I've been supported by my managers and done my MSc in advanced clinical practice.
"Everywhere I go, the people are friendly and easy to work with.
"I moved away to London for the year but realised it was not for me. I appreciated this area more, missed the life, the people. I'll probably stay here until I retire."
Chief nursing officer Prof Jean White said: "We have a number of acute hospitals we're looking to recruit to and we have an ageing population, and we're cleverer at doing things and we're doing treatments that were once frankly beyond us. It means our nurse workforce is changing."
Tina Donnelly, director of the RCN in Wales, said: "Encouraging these individuals to work in Wales must continue until we see stable workforce levels that our NHS requires to function efficiently and effectively, allowing patients to receive the highest standard of care possible."
Community staff nurse Rebecca Hagerty, working in Merthyr Tydfil, said the campaign was excellent.
"Work is very important but you get that work-life balance when you work for Cwm Taf [health board]," she said.
"Overall, it's a very supportive trust to work for and there are lots of activities and things to do if you come here to work and opportunities to let your hair down for a bit outside work."
Welsh Conservative health spokeswoman, Angela Burns, said her party supported the drive and hoped it would eventually mean health boards would no loner have to rely on expensive agency staff.
Plaid Cymru's health spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said the actions were welcomed but blamed the shortage on Welsh Government failures to "carry out sufficient planning".
A spokesperson for the Welsh Liberal Democrats said: "We were proud to lead through the Assembly a landmark piece of legislation making Wales the first part of Europe with a legal duty for staffing levels, giving nurses the time they need to give the proper care and attention to our loved ones."
A UKIP spokesman said it was "an appalling indictment" of the Welsh Government that recruitment campaigns were necessary. "UKIP Wales is also concerned that we have to advertise internationally when these jobs should go to people already living in Wales."
A survey carried out by the Symphony Hall in Birmingham found only 1% of people listen to songs from musicals in the bedroom.
The genre came behind thrash metal, spiritual music such as hymns, and meditation music.
The genre with the most sex appeal was R&B, followed by chart music.
While it's no surprise R&B came top, it is perhaps surprising that the world of Cabaret, Chicago and Moulin Rouge polled so low.
Ahead of musicals in the bottom five is world music, folk and even chamber music, which were each chosen by 2% of the 2,030 people polled.
Sixteen percent of respondents chose R&B as their favourite music for the bedroom. Twelve percent chose chart music, while 11% chose classic pop from the 1980s and 90s.
Dance music and indie music complete the top five, getting 9% and 8% respectively.
The survey found that 43% of people played music in the bedroom - but it was much more popular if the couple were unmarried.
Twenty-eight percent of married couples like to have something playing in the background, compared with 62% of unmarried couples.

The court said a panel of judges of the Grand Chamber found the appeal had arrived in time - but refused it.
Home Secretary Theresa May said she was confident Abu Qatada would soon be "out of Britain for good".
The preacher says he faces possible torture in Jordan if he is deported from the UK.
The decision is a victory for the government's deportation strategy, even though Home Office officials got the date of the appeal deadline wrong.
In a statement, the court said Abu Qatada's appeal had arrived approximately 45 minutes before the deadline on Tuesday 17 April.
"The Panel found that the request had been submitted within the three month time-limit for such requests," said the court. "However, it considered that the request should be refused.
"Accordingly, the Chamber's judgment of 17 January 2012 is now final."
The European Court's January judgement said the UK government had received satisfactory assurances from Jordan that the preacher would not face torture if returned.
But it said he should not be deported until there was a further assurance his expected retrial on terrorism offences would not include evidence obtained by torture of others.
The decision brought the preacher's deportation to a halt - but the government says it has negotiated a deal with Jordan to ensure a fair trial.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "It has always been the government's intention that the Qatada case should be heard in the British courts, so I am pleased by the European Court's decision today.
"I remain confident that the assurances I have secured from the Jordanian Government mean we will be able to put Qatada on a plane and get him out of Britain for good.
"His case will now go through the British courts, and in the meantime, because of the action taken by the government, Qatada remains behind bars."
But in a statement, Abu Qatada's lawyers Birnberg Peirce said: "The political situation in Jordan has worsened in the three and a half months that have followed [the European Court judgement]. Reports of the torture of civilians in secret sites have increased. The military courts are continuing just as before; the instability of the regime is greater.
"When the Secretary of State elected to rush to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission three weeks ago, claiming that all of the ills prohibiting deportation had been cured in Jordan and that Mr Othman could be immediately deported, with the intention it seems of achieving a contrived political spectacle, she did so on a basis that was wrong factually as well as legally."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "It is shocking that the Court has confirmed the home secretary got the date wrong, and took an unacceptable risk with this serious case. Theresa May was adamant in the House of Commons that she got the date of appeal right even though she had been warned by the court and by the media.
"We are all very lucky that the home secretary's major mistake has not led to Qatada's application for appeal being granted. Now is the time for Theresa May to apologise."
It's not clear how long the deportation will now take but lawyers for the home secretary have already raised the prospect she can use a special procedure to accelerate the process by declaring the preacher no longer has any human rights grounds left to argue.
Abu Qatada, who is held in a maximum security prison, has applied for bail but no date has been set for a hearing. He may seek to argue the new Jordanian assurance on a fair trial has not been tested in the British courts. The Law Lords had previously ruled that Jordan could give him a fair trial.
Kate Allen, of Amnesty International, said the British courts now needed to have a "cold, hard look" at Jordan's record on torture.
"This is a disappointing decision and a missed opportunity. The Grand Chamber would have been the right body to examine this appeal because it raises fundamental issues about whether 'deportation deals' with countries which routinely use torture should ever be relied on.
"Jordan has a known record of torturing detainees and conducting unfair trials. The simple truth is that Abu Qatada will be at personal risk of torture and of receiving an unfair trial in Jordan's State Security Court.
"No matter what a person has been accused of, the UK must abide by the absolute global prohibition on torture and not try to wriggle out of it."
Her book envisages a world in which women have developed the ability to give electric shocks at will.
The chair of this year's judges, Tessa Ross, praised Alderman's "brilliantly imagined dystopia, her big ideas and her fantastic imagination".
Alderman received the £30,000 prize at a ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall on Wednesday.
"The women's movement is more vital to me than any other utility that might come into my house," Alderman said as she accepted her prize to loud cheers and applause.
"The support and power of other women has been more vital to me than electricity," she went on.
The literary prize's co-founder Kate Mosse also paid tribute to its first ever winner Helen Dunmore, who died earlier this week, describing her as "an exquisite poet, and extraordinary writer for children and young adults".
The Power, Alderman's fourth novel, was published in October last year and explores themes of power, violence and gender.
It follows four main characters as they adjust to a future in which women can inflict shocks "from a tiny tingle all the way to full electro-death".
On her website, Alderman describes The Power as "a novel of ideas".
"What would happen if women had the power to cause pain and destruction? Do we really believe that women are naturally peaceful and nurturing? How much of gender is in our expectations of violence?" she asks.
Alderman's win comes just over a decade after her debut novel, Disobedience, won the 2006 Orange Award for New Writers. That novel is being made into a film starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams.
The Power, meanwhile, is being adapted for a TV series by Sister Pictures, co-producer of hit ITV crime drama Broadchurch.
Alderman, who will write the screenplay, has said the series would "expand" on the stories told in her novel.
Alderman, who grew up in London, is professor of creative writing at Bath Spa University.
Her other novels include The Lessons (2010) and The Liars' Gospel (2012). She is one of the presenters of Science Stories on BBC Radio 4.
She also co-created the best-selling smartphone fitness game Zombies, Run! and wrote the Doctor Who spin-off book Borrowed Time (2011).
She has been mentored by author Margaret Atwood, whose novel Hag-Seed appeared on this year's Baileys long-list.
Atwood's quote on the front cover of The Power reads: "Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice about everything."
The Power beat five other novels on the shortlist, which included one previous winner, Linda Grant, and one first-time novelist, Ayobami Adebayo.
The shortlist in full:
This is the final year that the prize will bear the Baileys name. In 2018, the title will revert to the Women's Prize for Fiction and be supported by "a family of sponsors".
Lisa McInerney won the prize last year with her debut novel, The Glorious Heresies.

Gregory, 21, from Waterlooville in Hampshire, beat Scotland's Robert MacIntyre 2&1 in the final at Royal Porthcawl on Saturday.
He is also guaranteed a place at the Masters and US Open next year.
"It feels quite surreal," Gregory told BBC Radio Solent. "It's not quite sunk in, but it's a dream come true for me."
Gregory, who plays at Corhampton Golf Club, near Winchester, plans to stay amateur so he can take up his place at the first two majors of next season.
"You can't turn down an invite like that," he added. "It's incredible and I'm in a very privileged position to win this tournament.
"To have the opportunities and the doors that open are out of this world.
"I can't wait for everything that's ahead and I just want to enjoy the experience and hopefully play some good golf along the way."
First up on Gregory's busy calendar will be this year's Open at Royal Troon, which begins on 14 July.
The poor old peregrine falcon must feel like a total loser at this point.
Driven to the edge of extinction in the 1960s and 70s thanks to the use of pesticides based on DDT, the world's fastest predator has made a remarkable recovery over the past 30 years. So much so that there is hardly a cathedral in the UK that doesn't have at least one of these high flying raptors.
All that progress though, hasn't made a difference here at the Cites meeting in Johannesburg, which has just drawn to a close. Cites (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) aims to ensure that the trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.
Despite plenty of data to say the falcon has recovered and that restrictions on trade should be loosened, the countries meeting here decided to keep it on the highest level of protection.
"The peregrine falcon met the criteria for down-listing to Appendix II," said Heather Sohl, with WWF-UK
"The parties discussed it but didn't agree to follow that, sometimes the science isn't always followed."
Many here would say the peregrine falcon was an unfortunate exception. It would appear that science rather than politics is becoming a stronger factor in these discussions on which species to protect and which to reject.
For instance, at the last meeting in 2013 in Thailand, a number of shark species were up-listed after a huge political battle that succeeded by just one vote.
This time round, new safeguards for other sharks and devil rays, sailed through with huge majorities. Experts say this is because the regulations have been seen to work.
But while there were science-based victories for Barbary macaques, African grey parrots and a host of other species, politics does still play a part in some of the biggest controversies.
The decision to allow the EU to vote as a bloc had a major impact on one of the key debates about elephants.
With about 130 countries actually voting on the floor, the EU group of 28 stopped the proponents of greater protection for elephants from securing the two-thirds majority needed to change the Convention.
The EU argued that the science wasn't strong enough. Many campaigners thought it was plain old dirty politics.
"It just doesn't make sense biologically, it's a political decision," Dr Roz Reeve, an adviser to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, who thinks the EU sided with South Africa, which was against the proposal.
"South Africa is the dominant voice on the continent, it's the largest economy on the continent, that's the only thing I can think of that might be driving this position."
South African ministers were delighted that the up-listing of all African elephants was defeated.
They see it as a justification of their policies that have seen their elephant populations less affected by poaching than almost anywhere else in Africa. They argue that imposing greater protection on their elephants would have been an insult to ordinary South Africans.
"Had we taken this elephant to Appendix I, our people would have been denied the opportunity to benefit from them," said Edna Molewa, South Africa's minister for water and environmental affairs.
"What's making the Southern African elephant population thrive is that the people are utilising them and benefiting and they feel that they are protecting them, they are part of them.
"We feel that the rest of the continent and the rest of the world should go that way."
This question of the uneasy relationship between humans and animals was a strong undercurrent at this meeting.
Country after country argued that more needed to be done to give people living next to threatened species a cash-in-hand reason for keeping them alive.
But perhaps there's another way, and what's really needed is a massive injection of celebrity power.
There is growing evidence that the impact of sports stars, artists and well-known business people are making a big difference in educating people about the impacts of consuming products based on threatened species, and the positive benefits from their protection.
In China, the popularity of former NBA basketball star Yao Ming has made a huge difference on awareness of species - not just with the public but with the government too.
"He proposed to the National People's Congress the ban on ivory sales, which was later adopted by the Chinese government," said Peter Knights from Wildaid, who worked with Yao Ming on a documentary designed to raise awareness of the impacts of consumption on elephants and rhinos.
"That is actually the only non top-down process in China, through the Congress- and the ivory trade ban is an example of that happening."
Connecting celebrities to the Cites process could be a key step forward in forcing countries to take action.
It already seems to be having an impact. Take, for example, pangolins.
"A few years ago most people didn't know what a pangolin was, probably most still don't but a lot more do know something about these scaly anteaters," said Heather Sohl from WWF-UK.
"But there have been campaigns where Prince William has been working with Angry Birds to get the youth understanding that these are the most heavily traded mammals in the world - and from that we've seen at this conference, proposals to give them greater protection successfully passed."
This Cites conference has done much good work to protect threatened species. Apart from the peregrine falcon and perhaps the elephants, governments listened to the science and acted on it. For all its limitations, Cites remains the only safeguard for species that has real teeth.
But there is only so much you can do with regulations. To really ensure the survival of species, you need hearts and minds. And that's where celebrities really can connect the Convention to the public. Some think this combination could make the peaceful co-existence of man and beast a reality.
"It is this whole attitude to wildlife consumption, it is a once and forever societal change," said Wildaid's Peter Knights.
"We used to do this in the UK and US, and then society kind of moves away from it, and this is where Asia is right now - this is a tipping point right now."

Researchers say that in countries like Syria and Iraq, levels of air pollutants have fallen dramatically.
The amount of nitrogen dioxide in the air over Damascus has fallen by up to 50% since start of the civil war.
The authors believe their work has important lessons for projections of global emissions.
Since 2004, scientists have been able to monitor atmospheric pollutants with high levels of precision thanks to the deployment of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument onboard the Nasa Aura satellite.
This new study used data from the spacecraft to see how economic, political and military activity has impacted levels of pollutants in and around the Middle East over the past decade.
Looking at levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) that are generated from the burning of fossil fuels especially in transport, the team found a complex and unpredictable picture.
In countries like Syria, where millions of people have attempted to flee the fighting since 2011, levels of nitrogen dioxide plummeted over Damascus and Aleppo.
But in nearby Lebanon, there was a "drastic" rise of up to 30% of the same pollutant, thanks to the influx of refugees. The scientists say that this was very unusual as economic growth in Lebanon declined significantly at the same time.
"It's quite remarkable," lead author Dr Jos Lelieveld from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry told BBC News.
"You can see where the people from Syria are going; you can identify the camps in northern Jordan but they are also moving to cities like Tripoli and Beirut.
"The energy consumption has increased; the traffic, more cars, make up a large proportion of the increase," he said.
In countries like Greece, global recession and new environmental laws have had a significant role. Similarly in Saudi Arabia and Israel.
But in Iraq, the rise of so-called Islamic State can also be clearly seen in the air quality data.
"In Karbala, to the south of Baghdad, a mostly Shiite area, the increase in pollutants continues," said Dr Lelieveld.
"But if you look to the area northwest of Baghdad, where Islamic State is in charge, there you see that things are going in another direction - there are very specific stories in each country."
The researchers say that the varying impacts on air pollutants seen across the Middle East have lessons for global projections of emissions.
The authors point to one climate change scenario that includes increases of NOx in the region every year between 2005 and 2030, which they say "deviates from the reality".
"For many countries for which we have little information, the emissions scenarios make very simple assumptions - these definitely do not work in the Middle East as they go in all directions," said Dr Lelieveld.
"For example, in Iran the energy consumption and CO2 have continued to grow but NOx and sulphur dioxide have declined. There isn't a general rule that you can apply in emissions scenarios."
The researchers say that it is difficult to use the technology to get a definitive picture. There may be less NOx in the air but people may have resorted to dirtier and cheaper fuels for heating.
Other scientists welcomed the study, saying that it followed on from previous research carried out during the Iraq war. They say that it highlights the critical role of accurate satellite information. It also highlights the scale of destruction across the Middle East and the huge impact on people.
"It is very sad that we have on the borders of Europe this huge conflict," said Prof John Burrows from the University of Bremen, Germany.
"But perhaps scientific information like this helps our understanding. It's proportional to people, so if emissions have gone down in Syria by 50%, I'd expect that 50% of the people might have been displaced, as indeed they have."
The research has been published in the journal, Science Advances.

The chancellor described the deal - agreed with the leaders of the region's 10 councils - as "a massive moment for the north of England".
But people questioned by the BBC News website in the centre of Manchester were mostly split three ways between apathy, indifference or ignorance.
In a region where some council wards have turnouts around 11%, there seemed to be little appetite for a new round of elections.
"I'm indifferent. It might be a good thing. If the mayor can cut down on the bureaucracy it would be good.
"But I don't think people are really bothered."
"I don't think anything will change. Politicians say one thing to get in power but they don't do anything for poor people, young people or the disabled once they got elected.
"There's nothing for young people where I live and nothing for people with disabilities."
"I don't see why it shouldn't work. It is a good idea across the political spectrum.
"I have come to Manchester to look work from Belfast and because of the music scene. If the new mayor could find me a job, I'd be very happy."
"I'm not very political [but] I don't see what difference it would make.
"There will be some people my age interested in this idea but most are not."
"I think it is too much responsibility for one person. You need to share the workload if you are going to get anything done.
"I believe it is too much power in the hands of one person."
"I think it is just a reaction to what Labour is proposing. We had Ed Miliband here recently talking about devolving power to the cities.
"This is just electioneering."
Many viewed Friday's election as more of a ceremonial coronation than a democratic ballot, but the dramatic arrest of Fifa officials in their hotel rooms cast a dark cloud over proceedings.
Suspicion has hung about Fifa for years, and although Mr Blatter is not thought to be implicated in Wednesday's arrests, one has to wonder - why is he so determined to carry on in the top job?
Mr Blatter was re-elected for an unprecedented fifth four-year term, and in doing so remains in charge of a multibillion-dollar sport.
What drives a man, soon to be 80, and who once promised not to stand for re-election, to so clearly crave another four years in such a high profile, and highly scrutinised, position?
"He clearly considers himself to be the only person capable of running Fifa," says Roland Buechel, a Swiss member of parliament and campaigner for more transparency at the top of football.
"I assume he wants to die in office".
Mr Blatter was born to a modest family in the alpine town of Visp. Legend has it he was the king of the playground at the local primary school in the 1940s, and the only boy there who possessed a professional-quality football.
After school Mr Blatter followed a not unusual career pattern for a Swiss man in the 1960s and 70s. He did his obligatory service in Switzerland's militia army, rising to the rank of colonel. While there he made contacts which would serve him later in life.
Mr Blatter worked in the watch industry, and increasingly in sports management, serving at the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation before moving to Fifa as its technical director in 1975.
When he was first elected as Fifa president in 1998 there was, Mr Buechel remembers, a certain amount of national celebration in Mr Blatter's home country.
"We were proud to have a Swiss person in charge of such an important international organisation," he says.
In Visp, Mr Blatter's old school was renamed after him. His portrait hangs in the hall and sports days regularly bear his name.
He continues to receive a warm welcome when he visits the town.
"He's very uncomplicated, very approachable," says Hans-Peter Berchtold, sports editor of the local newspaper Walliserbote.
Nevertheless, Mr Berchtold admits that when it comes to the allegations of corruption at Fifa, even Mr Blatter's oldest acquaintances are "not blind".
"Everyone knows there are problems at Fifa," he says. "But they don't think Sepp Blatter should be made responsible for all of them."
Mr Berchtold argues that there are plenty of positive aspects to the Fifa president's record, among them promoting football in developing countries, successfully staging Africa's first-ever World Cup, and, more recently, committing Fifa to a process of reform.
But that is precisely where some of Mr Blatter's critics disagree. "He has had 17 years to improve governance at Fifa," says Eric Martin, head of the Swiss branch of the anti-corruption NGO Transparency International. "I'm sceptical whether he will ever do it now."
In 2011 an independent panel convened by Fifa proposed a package of reforms. Fifa's decision to ignore its recommendations for fixed terms, age limits, and full disclosure of cash, was criticised by Transparency International.
"In Switzerland we change our president every year," says Eric Martin, head of the anti-corruption body's Swiss branch. "I'm sure Fifa could do the same after 17 years."
And while some old friends describe him as down-to-earth and open, others who have worked with him say he resents opposition, pointing to the swift departure of Fifa colleagues who dared to question him.
Mr Blatter bluntly turned down a suggestion of a television debate with candidates standing against him.
When asked once about his reaction to criticism of his stewardship of Fifa, the loudest of which has come from media in World Cup heavyweights Germany and England, Mr Blatter replied, somewhat ominously, that he could "forgive, but not forget".
Many in Switzerland wonder how Mr Blatter can have been in charge of Fifa for so long, amid so many reports of corruption, and yet remain apparently untouched.
One Swiss newspaper jokingly called him "the dark prince of football, the godfather, Don Blatterone" - but no inquiry has ever revealed proof of his involvement in bribery.
"He's a survivor," says Mr Buechel. "Nothing ever sticks to him, there is always someone between him and the bribes."
"I can tell you for sure he is not bribable," counters Hans-Peter Berchtold. "Money is not what motivates him."
What emerges then, finally, is a man who both critics and supporters say cannot imagine his life without Fifa. His career there has outlasted three marriages. Mr Buechel and Mr Martin believe that Mr Blatter's determination to hold on to his post is now damaging football's governing body by not allowing space for successors to emerge.
Even fans like Mr Berchtold express regret that Mr Blatter did not accept the time was right to leave.
"He could have had a nice retirement here in Visp," he says. "He had the chance now to leave by the front entrance."
Now Mr Berchtold fears that "if something bad at Fifa happens" over the next four years, an octogenarian Mr Blatter could be bundled unceremoniously out the back door - not a nice ending for the boy who kicked a football round Visp schoolyard.
Perhaps Fifa is Sepp Blatter's playground now and he still wants to be king. And kings, of course, rarely abdicate.
The changes require the 15-strong court to reach a two-thirds majority with at least 13 members present, in order to pass most of its rulings.
Activists say the amendment undermines democratic checks and balances.
The European Union executive expressed concern over the changes and asked for their introduction to be postponed.
The amendment was drafted and passed by the conservative nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, which has accused the court of blocking its policies.
"We won the election, but we have no right to set laws and remodel Poland," the party's leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski told a crowd, earlier in December.
The PiS argue they are defending the court's role in upholding the constitutionality of the country's new laws.
"It's hard for me to understand the situation we've had until now, in which, de facto (just) three judges could rule on the legal fate of legislation passed by the parliament elected by the people," said President Andrzej Duda - a close ally of the party - who signed the amendment into law.
Since winning October's parliamentary election, PiS also named five new judges to the same court.
As a result, tens of thousands of people protested in cities across Poland and 15 officials issued an open letter voicing "anxiety and opposition" to the changes. These include former Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, from Civic Platform (PO), as well as former Presidents Bronislaw Komorowski and Aleksander Kwasniewski.
On the government side, others marched in solidarity.
The agreement would have meant an Orange parade, prevented from returning to Ligoniel on July 12, 2013, would have been completed on Friday morning.
A loyalist protest camp at Twaddell Avenue would then have been dismantled.
The deal was to be announced on Monday, but a press conference was cancelled.
The Crumlin and Ardoyne Residents Association (CARA), the residents group involved in the talks, held a public meeting on Monday night to outline details of the proposed agreement.
Afterwards, some of those who attended said they were opposed to the deal, but believe it will go ahead.
Members of CARA then held a private meeting to discuss the feedback and agree the next step. A statement is expected to be issued later.
It is understood discussions involving loyalists and Orange Order members are also taking place.
Sources told the BBC that opinion about the proposal among those at the meeting was divided.
Two nationalist MLAs for north Belfast who attended the meeting said they hoped a resolution to the dispute could be found.
"The mood of tonight's meeting is that this could be an extraordinary moment, but people are very, very worried, they want to come to a conclusion," said Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly.
"CARA outlined proposals that were brought forward by two facilitators, they have given an update about where it is at the moment and they have taken soundings, listened to people. There were many different opinions in there."
Mr Kelly said CARA now faces a difficult decision and that he will support whatever they decide.
SDLP MLA Nicola Mallon said the meeting had been told that one of the three Orange lodges involved in the dispute has said it would not support the proposed agreement.
"Tonight was the first time that many people have had a chance to look at those details and to consider them," she said.
"Certainly a lot of people had a lot of questions to ask and have asked that CARA goes away and reflects on their views and comes back."
The deal between CARA and the Orange Order also included a moratorium on future parades that pass a contested section of the route past the Ardoyne shop fronts on the Crumlin Road.
Under the terms of the deal, CARA would not object to five morning parades by the Orange Order and the Apprentice Boys.
In return, the Loyal Orders had agreed not to apply for permission for return evening parades, including on the Twelfth, until agreement could be reached.
The agreement would be hugely significant, but it does not have universal support.
Another nationalist residents group, the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (GARC), has made it clear that it is opposed to the deal.
In recent days, members of one of three Orange lodges involved in the parades dispute have not backed the agreement.
Ballysillan LOL 1891 has said it would not take part in the parade back to Ligoniel on Friday morning.
That caused concern on the nationalist side that any agreement would not stick and that some members of the Orange Order might continue the protest.
The loyalist protest at Twaddell Avenue began in July 2013 after a Parades Commission determination not to allow a return leg of an Orange parade to pass a section of the Crumlin road.
Campaigners had vowed to keep protesting until the original parade was allowed to return past the Ardoyne shops.
"Power failure" says the Mirror, "Point of no return" is The Irish News headline while the News Letter says: "After a decade... Stormont implodes".
The Belfast Telegraph surely captures the mood of many of the electorate with the headline: "Here we go again".
Inside the paper, a woman who first raised the alarm about the flaws in the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme says she takes no joy in seeing the assembly fall.
Columnist Eilis O'Hanlon says what Northern Ireland needs is "a dull, plodding government".
She says the executive formed in May, "like all the ones that preceded it, was sold as if it was a gleaming new car, straight out of the showroom, when really it was the same old banger with a bit of work done at the garage to keep it chugging along until the next MOT".
Irish News political correspondent John Manly says a period of direct rule now looms for Northern Ireland.
He says if no solution comes from talks expected to follow the election, Secretary of State James Brokenshire would be reluctant to ask voters to go back to the polls for a third time in 12 months.
The paper also says that the £5m cost of the March assembly election could pay for 200 new nurses or teachers.
The News Letter political editor Sam McBride says many politicians and journalists "bleakly assume that Stormont as we know it will struggle to return quickly" and that a "brutal and tribal" election campaign awaits.
However, he says two issues could push the parties into finding a way out of the deadlock:
The Daily Mirror features Jonathan Bell's fresh assembly allegations about the RHI scheme.
While events at Stormont understandably dominate, all four of the papers also report on the fact that Freddie Scappaticci, the man named by the media as the Army agent Stakeknife, is now facing at least 20 lawsuits.
The news emerged in the High Court on Monday.
The Irish News also publishes the full list of groups receiving grants from the community halls grant scheme, which has been criticised by Sinn Fein's Alex Maskey as an attempt by the DUP to buy votes.
The News Letter reports that the police have declined to publish a mugshot of a suspect in the IRA 1992 Teebane massacre.
It says witnesses reported seeing the "bearded man" at the scene both before and after the bombing that killed eight workmen.
The Belfast Telegraph says planning permission has been sought to bring a 130-year-old, 10 tonne lighthouse optic to a new home in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.
In another Titanic-related story, Homes Under the Hammer and I'm a Celebrity start Martin Roberts tells the paper his grandfather helped rescue survivors of the 1912 tragedy.
The former Ivory Coast Under-20 and Under-23 international initially arrived at Huish Park on a short-term deal in November 2015.
Zoko, 32, then extended his deal in January until the end of the season.
"You do not win games without scoring goals and Francois played a crucial part in our relegation battle last season," said Yeovil boss Darren Way.
"He has been a superb signing. Last year he didn't have a full pre-season, so I am looking forward to working with him to get him a full pre-season under his belt.
"His family have been very supportive to him in allowing Francois to remain in sunny Somerset for another year."
Zoko said: "I hope we can put smiles on the supporters' faces next season."
He follows goalkeeper Artur Krysiak, and defenders Omar Sowunmi and Ryan Dickson in signing new deals following the Glovers' brush with relegation.
Way's side ultimately finished the season 14 points clear of trouble, in 19th place.
Zoko has scored 58 goals in 188 appearances, plus 63 as substitute, with Carlisle United, Notts County, Stevenage, Blackpool and Bradford City since first arriving in English football in August 2010.
Proposals for a centre on the former Curzon Street train station site were scrapped in favour of a HS2 terminal.
Jonathan Watkins, director of the city's Ikon gallery, said the idea was "hibernating and waiting to be woken up".
He said financial support from the council was needed for it to go ahead.
Bosses of the Ikon, based in Birmingham's Brindley Place, want a new multi-million pound gallery built in Southside between the Hippodrome theatre and Digbeth.
In December, the council announced it planned to cut arts and heritage funding and focus on encouraging donations from visitors and supporters.
But Mr Watkins said a new gallery was essential if Birmingham was to keep pace with other big cities.
"Birmingham needs more to offer in terms of visual arts if it's going to maintain its status as the second city," he said.
Mr Watkins said he hoped the current Ikon gallery would be retained as a separate annex if the project went ahead.
But because Ikon is a charity, they would need support from a developer as well as council backing, he said.
"Ikon has moved five times already so there's no reason why this has to be the resting place," he ag.
He was speaking ahead of the launch of Ikon's 2015 exhibition programme.
The programme includes a project to move the contents of Handsworth photographer Vanley Burke to the gallery and an exhibition of drawings, sculptures and films by Fiona Banner.
The gallery, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, will also exhibit a number of pieces donated by contemporary artists ahead of an auction in the summer.
The city council said it would support the gallery's ambitions where possible.
Councillor Penny Holbrook said: "Birmingham is rightly known for its great cultural scene and, as with all our cultural venues, we will continue to support the Ikon in its ambitions where we can; however, this has to be set in the context of the severe financial challenge faced by the city council." | As the investigation into who was behind the Boston bombings goes on, Muslim communities are braced for a backlash should the perpetrator share their faith.

In internal documents seen by consumer programme X-Ray, customers claim they were sold a warranty even though they said they did not want one.
Others say they were wrongly told they had to buy a warranty, the papers show.
Currys said the documents are a record of why people cancelled a warranty and do not prove mis-selling.
The firm said the papers reflect only a fraction of 1% of total sales.
Staff who have spoken to the BBC on condition of anonymity say they are under intense pressure to sell warranties - and other extras like in-store set-ups for computers or cables for televisions.
X-Ray asked one salesman if he had ever mis-sold a warranty.
He said: "I have had to on occasions to keep my job. I have a family to feed. I have to keep my job."
The internal documents seen by X-Ray document around 2,000 cases of potential mis-selling brought to the company's attention in a six-week period last year.
The report features incidents at stores across the UK.
In around 850 cases, customers said they were told - wrongly - that they had to take a warranty.
In another 1,250 cases they either refused a warranty, but were sold one anyway, or were sold a warranty without being told about it.
Prof Margaret Griffiths, a consumer law expert, said: "Companies are under an obligation to tell customers all the material information they need in order to make a proper informed decision.
"If a company has deliberately withheld material information then that would be contrary to regulations as it would be a material omission.
"That has the potential to be a criminal law offence."
Other documents seen by the programme show that staff can be put on what's known as a "capability programme" if they fail to sell enough extras, like cables, warranties and set-up services.
Some staff fear this could lead to them losing their jobs.
One whistleblower, who held senior positions in Currys stores over a number of years said: "The guy who is asking all them questions and trying to sell you the warranty and all the add ons - his job is at risk if he doesn't do it."
The company have strongly denied the allegations.
It said that the internal report given to X-Ray lists various legitimate reasons why customers cancelled their warranties and not just cases of potential mis-selling.
The firm said it uses this list to help staff identify issues with the sale of warranties and to address any problems with staff. And the claims of apparent mis-selling made by customers have not been proven.
Currys added that these warranty cancellations actually account for a fraction of 1% its their total sales.
The firm also stressed that staff are not rewarded for the inappropriate selling of warranties and add-ons.
X-Ray is broadcast on BBC One Wales at 19:30 GMT on 25 March. It is also available on the BBX-Ray iC iPlayer from 24 March. | Hundreds of customers of retail giant Currys have complained they were mis-sold extended warranties, a BBC Wales investigation has found. | 21,928,645 | 652 | 29 | false |
The town hall will be converted in the £3.1m project.
The scheme has received support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Dumfries and Galloway Council.
Once completed it is hoped the building could become the home to the Viking treasure unearthed in the region more than two years ago.
Councillor Jane Maitland, whose ward includes the town, said it was an important day for the area which is proud of its history as an "artists' town".
"Of course I feel amazingly excited and enthusiastic about it all happening," she said.
However, she stressed that the major conversion works would take some time to complete.
"This is the beginning of a major journey," she said.
"It is going to take a year - I have to tell the public that we are going to have boards around the town hall.
"But my goodness me what a fantastic facility it is going to be for the area."
Edwin Poots has been given leave by the Court of Appeal to appeal its ruling that any ban on gay and lesbian couples adopting is unlawful.
The Attorney General had his request for clarification on the issue refused.
The case is now expected to go before the Supreme Court in London.
The department of health's legal team can now petition the higher court directly to hear its case.
In October last year, the ban based on relationship status was held to discriminate against those in civil partnerships and to breach their human rights.
Previously, a single gay or lesbian person could adopt children in NI, but a couple in a civil partnership could not.
After the Court of Appeal ruling, adoption agencies were told they were able to accept applications from same-sex and unmarried couples and those in civil partnerships.
At the time, the Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) said the ruling would bring NI into line with the rest of the UK.
Representatives of the Rainbow Project, Northern Ireland's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy organisation, expressed dismay that the department is now seeking to go to the Supreme Court over the issue.
Rainbow Project director, John O'Doherty said they were disappointed with the minister's decision.
"Both the High Court and the Court of Appeal have noted the practice of banning same-sex and unmarried couples from adopting is discriminatory," he said.
"Enough public money has been spent on this fool's errand. The minister should focus his time on ensuring the best available homes for children in care in Northern Ireland."
Site Intelligence, a US militant monitoring group, cites an AQAP statement as saying Ansi was killed in April in the port city of Mukalla.
There is no US confirmation. Ansi had appeared in a number of AQAP videos.
In one, he claimed the group was behind the attack on the Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, in which 12 people died.
Site also said Ansi appeared in videos claiming AQAP was holding - and had then killed - the American journalist Luke Somers.
Mr Somers, and South African teacher Pierre Korkie, were killed by al-Qaeda militants in Yemen last December.
They died during a failed rescue bid by US and Yemeni special forces.
Site said Ansi's eldest son and other fighters also died in the air strike in Mukalla.
Al-Qaeda seized Mukalla, the capital of the eastern Hadramawt province, in early April, along with a large army base nearby. Dozens of Aqap members were freed from the city's prison.
But within three days, most al Qaeda troops had been forced out of the port city by local tribesmen.
In another video, Ansi called for Sunni Muslims to attack Houthi forces, who took over large parts of Yemen last September.
A Saudi-led coalition has been taking part in air strikes against Houthis for the last six weeks.
Last month, the US Secretary of Defence Ash Carter said Aqap were "making direct gains on the ground" in Yemen thanks to instability elsewhere in the country.
All of those held are teenagers, officials said.
Mr Henríquez, 33, was shot dead as he was leaving his home in the city of Nuevo Colón on Saturday. A 36-year-old man, Delano Wilson, was also killed.
The motive for the killing is still unclear, but police say it appears to have been carefully planned.
Officers said the gunmen had laid in wait at a home opposite that of Mr Henríquez.
A 70-year-old woman and three teenage girls living at the home have been told not to leave the country while the investigations are under way.
Local media first reported that Delano Wilson, the man who died alongside Mr Henríquez, was a friend of the footballer.
But Mr Wilson's sister has since come forward to say her brother was just crossing the street on the way to buy a burger when he got caught in the crossfire.
Another man, Josimar Gómez, was injured.
Mr Henríquez, a midfielder, had played for the Panamanian national side as well as for Panamanian team Árabe Unido.
Before that, he had played in Colombia for América de Cali and Real Cartagena.
President Juan Carlos Varela condemned the murder on Twitter, saying that justice would be done.
According to Panamanian police figures, the country had a homicide rate of 9.3 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016, which is below many other countries in the region.
However, the province of Colón, where Mr Henríquez was killed, is known to be a hotspot for gangs.
The Environment Agency is reviewing the use of equipment kept by lock-keepers' offices that could endanger non-trained staff in emergencies.
Jonny Pleace, from the Thames River Users' Group, called the plans "absolutely ludicrous".
The agency said it was reviewing their use but had not made a final decision.
Lock keepers have access to the equipment, including ladders that have been in use for 40 years, in case people fall into the lock chamber.
However, some staff had raised health and safety issues about the heavy ladders, the Environment Agency said.
Donna Dowling, from the GMB union, which represents many of the lock keepers, said this was "absolutely, fundamentally, and categorically untrue".
"Lock keepers are vehemently opposed to it and actually want the lock ladders to remain in place," she said.
Mr Pleace said: "The Environment Agency through their wisdom and their health and safety audit, have decided the ladders are too heavy for people to lift, and the fire extinguishers are too dangerous to let off by the boats, so what they've decided is to do away with them.
"These ladders have been there forever… I think common sense has to prevail."
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "If a boat catches fire in a lock, our instruction to staff is to immediately call 999 and then provide assistance to get people away from the fire wherever it is safe to do so.
"We do not provide any training or equipment for them to use to put out boat fires, as this is not a requirement of their role."
He said other safety features were in place, including life rings, throw lines, egress steps, grab chains and pool hooks.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said 122,116 cars were built in April, an 18% fall compared with the same month last year.
It said Easter, which fell in April this year compared with March in 2016, had cut the number of production days.
However, the SMMT said the underlying picture remained "strong", with output up 1% for the year to date.
The UK's industry body said 593,796 cars were made in the first four months of the year - the highest number for the period since 2000.
Overseas buyers have helped to lift the market, with demand up 3.5%, which has helped to offset a 7% drop in demand from the UK.
Figures released earlier this month from the SMMT also showed a sharp fall in car sales in April.
However, the near-20% drop in new car registrations was blamed by the SMMT on consumers bringing forward purchases to March to avoid a rise in Vehicle Excise Duty.
As well as the later Easter, the industry's output in April was also affected by strikes at three BMW plants in the UK in a row over pensions.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: "Car production fell significantly in April due to the later Easter bank holiday weekend which reduced the number of active production days that month and also due to unplanned production adjustments.
"Overall, British car manufacturing remains in good health with the production outlook still very positive and significant new models due to go into UK production shortly.
"To guarantee future growth and investment into our industry and its vital supply chain, however, we need the next government to safeguard the conditions that have made us globally competitive, keeping us open and trading and delivering an ambitious industrial strategy for our sector."

The scheme, which will be administered by the GAA in conjunction with the GPA, will see a significant increase from the current annual 900,000 Euro grants.
1.6m Euro will be provided to players in 2017 which will rise to 2.3m in 2018 and 3m in 2019.
Most players got grants in the region of 300 to 750 Euro in recent years.
That figure sometimes increased to four figures for players involved in teams who progressed to the later stages of the championship.
Outing GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell said the increased grants would enable GAA players to increase their "role model status".
"This new arrangement will facilitate the development of an important programme between government and players in tackling some of the more intractable societal challenges in Ireland today," added Farrell.
"Players look forward to taking an even more prominent role in making a meaningful difference, particularly, in the lives our young people across the country."
Taoiseach Enda Kenny said the funding agreement provided "continued recognition for the contribution of gaelic inter-county players to the economic and social fabric of the nation".
"Our inter-county players showcase the skill, excellence and commitment of our national games at home and abroad," added the Irish Prime Minister.
"As well as promoting increased levels of physical activity, our Gaelic players can act as important role models in a number of other key policy areas at local and national level.
"These include the promotion of mental health wellbeing, the fight against obesity and the prevention of alcohol and drugs misuse.
"I look forward to the continued support of our inter-county footballers and hurlers in these and other areas and as role models which young people can emulate."
Farrell helped negotiate the new deal in one of his final acts before stepping down from his GPA role.

The EU was heading towards closer integration - a path the UK "will not and should not follow", the leader of the Commons wrote in the Telegraph.
It is being seen as the first sign of a minister preparing to campaign to leave the EU in the UK's referendum.
A government source said Downing Street was "very relaxed" about the article.
David Cameron is to allow ministers to campaign for either side of the debate.
However, cabinet ministers will only be able to start campaigning once a new deal has been reached by the prime minister with other EU leaders on the UK's terms of membership.
BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Grayling's article "will test the truce Number 10 had hoped would last until the negotiations with the rest of the EU were complete".
"It's clear several other cabinet ministers, perhaps as many as seven, share Mr Grayling's view. Whether they are ready to follow him and go (almost) public is another matter," she added.
Mr Grayling, the leader of the House of Commons and former justice secretary, stopped short of saying Britain should leave the EU in his Telegraph article - but it suggested he was ready to campaign for an exit if he is not satisfied with Mr Cameron's renegotiation deal.
Mr Grayling's Labour shadow Chris Bryant said Mr Grayling was now "leader of the out campaign" but did not have the courage to call for Britain's exit because "he is desperate to keep his place in the cabinet".
He told MPs Mr Grayling's Telegraph article was the "most mealy-mouthed, myth-peddling, facing-both-ways piece of pedestrian journalism that has ever come from his pen".
The Labour MP said the EU referendum was not a "game" about the future of the leadership of the Conservative Party but about jobs and the UK's standing as a nation.
"He says it is disastrous for us to stay in. I think it will be disastrous for us to leave," he told MPs.
Pete Wishart, the SNP's Commons leader, also mocked Mr Grayling as the "leader of the Eurosceptics and putative leader of the Britain out campaign".
Mr Cameron's four key negotiating objectives cover economic governance, competitiveness, immigration and sovereignty.
A referendum must be held before the end of 2017 but Mr Cameron is expected to hold it this year, if he can secure a deal on his reform demands.
Jonathan Faull, who is leading the European Commission's negotiations with the UK, said there was a "good prospect" Mr Cameron would get a deal at the next European Council meeting in February.
He told European Parliament members negotiations had been "difficult" and the Commission would not accept anything that threatened the "four freedoms" - including freedom of movement - the EU was founded on.
On a visit to the Turkish capital Ankara, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the UK and EU leaders were "getting closer" to reaching a deal on the sticking point of curbs to European migrants' benefits, but added "we are not there yet".
He said the UK was trying to "come up with a satisfactory proposal" on welfare, adding that there was "broad agreement" on the other three areas identified by the PM for reform.

In his article, Mr Grayling said the UK was at "a crucial crossroads" and "cannot be left in a position where we have no ability to defend our national interest" within the EU.
"I am someone who believes that simply staying in the EU with our current terms of membership unchanged would be disastrous for Britain," he added.
"That's why I have always believed that it is imperative that (Mr Cameron's) renegotiation takes place and delivers as much potential change as possible.
"It is in the interests of all Eurosceptics and of our country," he added.
Analysis, by BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins
Westminster is not reeling at the shock revelation Chris Grayling is a Eurosceptic. It was hardly a secret. But his declaration in print still matters.
It proves cabinet ministers can start a good row, even when they're supposed to be agreeing. Just listen to the former minister Damian Green accuse him of "peddling myths". It all but confirms that there will be at least one cabinet member campaigning to leave the EU.
But it's hardly a disaster for Number 10. Some senior Eurosceptics felt only pro-EU cabinet voices were being heard, and blamed bias in Downing Street. For them, this piece will help correct the balance.
What really matters though is what happens next. When are better-known political beasts - Theresa May and Boris Johnson - forced to show their hand? And will a bitter row between Tory tribes begin rather sooner than the PM expected?
Mr Cameron hopes to secure a new deal for the UK in Brussels next month.
A number of cabinet ministers are thought to favour an out vote in a referendum, with Mr Cameron expected to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU.
Another minister who is seen as a Eurosceptic, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers, told the BBC she "really supports" the PM's renegotiation efforts.
Mr Cameron has said he rules nothing out if he does not get what he wants from the talks.
However, former Foreign Secretary Lord Hague said he believed it was unlikely Mr Cameron would recommend a vote to sever ties with Brussels.
Bethan Rhys Roberts hosts Ask the Leader on BBC One Wales at 19:00 BST on Monday.
Andrew Robert Tudor Davies relishes his larger-than-life reputation, and once described himself as "19 stone of prime Welsh beef".
When elected Welsh Tory leader in 2011, he was thought of as being on the right of the party and perhaps a little sceptical of devolution.
However, time and again he has supported more powers for the assembly, seeking the ability to cut taxes to attract business to Wales.
Mr Davies has also gone against many within his own party, most recently in a rift with the prime minister over the referendum on Europe.
While David Cameron campaigns to remain in the European Union, the Welsh Tory leader is backing Brexit.
He is also more liberal on some matters than other Tories, such as his support for gay marriage.

Transport Minister Robert Goodwill said the private concession on the bridges is on course to finish in 2018.
But he said it would still take up to two years to pay off other debts worth around £88m.
Monmouth MP David Davies welcomed the news, in a letter from Mr Goodwill, but noted he had not said tolls would fall.
Current toll charges range from £6.40 for cars to £19.20 for lorries, 20% of which is made up of VAT.
In the letter to Mr Davies, who also chairs the Welsh Affairs Committee at Westminster, Mr Goodwill said:
"Once in public ownership VAT will no longer be payable on the tolls.
"Under the Severn Bridges Act 1992 it would be possible to reduce tolls to reflect the fact that VAT was no longer payable."
Mr Davies said the letter followed a meeting with the minister last month, also attended by other MPs on the committee.
"All of us would like to see action taken to reduce the tolls," he said.
"Unfortunately, the minister has not said whether the tolls would fall and that is the issue I would like to pin down the government on."
The MP said the committee has estimated ongoing maintenances costs for the bridges would be around a third of the current toll price and nobody had contradicted that.
"I therefore think we must now demand a clear plan for the post concession period with a significant reduction in the tolls," he said.
MPs are debating the future of the bridge tolls in a debate at Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
Last month there were cross-party calls for the charges to be cut drastically from 2018.
The Welsh government has called for control of the bridges to be devolved.
Reclining on a sofa, fashionable flat-peak cap, designer sunglasses, white shorts. As if he did not have a care in the world.
If the tension of one of the most important races of his career was getting to him, Hamilton was hiding it well.
Apart from his Mercedes team shirt, he looked like a film star relaxing on a beach. And he was certainly not acting like a man who by the end of the weekend will be facing one extreme of emotions or another.
Hamilton, like his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, will leave Abu Dhabi either on top of the world or in the pits of despair.
By Sunday evening, one of them will be world champion, riding a wave of confidence into the close season; the other a beaten man who must spend the winter building himself back up to do it all over again next year.

Whether by design or not, both Hamilton and Rosberg have generally projected an air of composure and calm so far at the Yas Marina circuit - smiling and matter of fact in their many media interviews on Thursday, walking about the paddock with typically quick, directed intent during the first practice day on Friday.
The mask has slipped just once, just enough to lay bare the pressure that has been building up through this hyper-intense season.
In the official news conference on Thursday, a provocative question to Hamilton brought a reply in kind - and an even spikier rejoinder from Rosberg.
Two controversial incidents have proved turning points in one way or another this season - in Monaco, where Rosberg ran wide on his final qualifying lap and prevented Hamilton from having a chance to beat him to pole; and in Belgium, where the two collided.
For both, Hamilton feels Rosberg was guilty of gamesmanship, to put it politely.

And when he was asked whether they needed to talk before the race to ensure there was no 'argy-bargy' here in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton said: "We don't need to. It's already been discussed at the beginning of the season and several times through the season and particularly after Spa.
"So there's no reason to revisit it. We're not children; we should know what is wrong and what is right."
Rosberg, for his part, has all season smarted over various incidents in which he feels Hamilton has wronged him - particularly in chopping across his nose to prevent himself being passed in Bahrain and in not acceding to a request to let Rosberg pass him in Hungary, when they were on different strategies.
Do you have anything to add, Rosberg was asked?
"Just that, yes, Lewis can do something to keep it clean, which is drive cleanly himself," he said.
Sitting in the row in front, McLaren driver Jenson Button widened his eyes and smiled at that. It was not hard to work out where he stands on the incidents in question.
This, it is clear, is not "just another race", as the two Mercedes drivers have been at pains to paint it in the run-up.
But there is a reason for their feigned nonchalance.
"You need to go through the processes, as boring as it sounds," says former F1 driver Mark Webber, who has his own experience of an Abu Dhabi title decider.
"You need to get through your Friday session, get to qualifying and have a clean grand prix.
"In 2010, I was running lots of scenarios through my head, which I believe Nico and Lewis will be as well.
"There is the double points in the background. Lewis can sit in second place. He will have rolled that through his head many, many times: 'Will it be enough just to sit there and close the championship out?'
"I found myself going through those scenarios more than you would do in any other race because you know this race when the flag drops there is going to be a championship decided."
Webber's experience of a title decider came in 2010, with his own team-mate Sebastian Vettel and two other drivers, Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
"The tension inside the whole team starts to build up to a point it has never been to in the year," said the Australian, in an interview for a film to be shown in the BBC One coverage this weekend.
"All the engineers and mechanics are focusing on their job like they never have done in their lives. They can see the rivalry between the drivers get to this pivotal point."
The fear for everyone at Mercedes, bar Rosberg, is that a mechanical problem of some kind will hit Hamilton and prove decisive in the championship.
Team boss Toto Wolff has already described this as a "nightmare" scenario, not least because Hamilton has already had more car failures this year than Rosberg, to the extent that three times he has had to come back from about a victory's worth of points deficit.

The advantage between the two has ebbed and flowed through the season, heightened by each man's frustration at the other's behaviour, and the battle has tested the relationship of these two former friends to its limit.
"Those two guys are learning more about themselves," Webber says. "How it has ebbed and flowed, the dynamics between the pair of them and how they're dealing with each other under extreme pressure; you only learn that stuff when the kitchen is absolutely boiling and that has absolutely been the case this year.
"The relationship will probably never be the same again. In twenty years, over a glass of red, maybe, but at the moment it is personal and they both want to win the world title."
Hamilton is the man in the best position to achieve that goal. Double points will be awarded controversially here but even so, with a 17-point lead, Hamilton needs only to finish second to be sure of the title even if Rosberg wins the race.
With the best car in the business by far, that should be eminently do-able, reliability permitting.
But that's not the only reason to suspect that the most likely outcome is Hamilton doing what he says he has set out to do, and taking the title in style with a victory.
Hamilton was in better shape on Friday, both on single-lap pace and in race trim, but he was again beaten to pole position by Rosberg - and by the substantial margin of 0.386secs.
But plenty of times this season Hamilton has proved capable of beating Rosberg after qualifying behind him and this time he does not even need to. It would be out of character for Hamilton not to try if he sees the opportunity but he has already hinted he may just sit behind his team-mate, saying in his BBC Sport column this week: "I am certainly not going to take any stupid risks, because I don't need to."
"Lewis has been on fire around Abu Dhabi in previous years," Webber said. "I've seen him do things around there… He's destroyed the field in many seasons in a car that has been pretty mediocre to be honest.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"So Nico's going to have his work cut out because Lewis is phenomenally quick around Abu Dhabi."
Rosberg arrives in Abu Dhabi fresh from a convincing weekend in Brazil, in which he topped every session and won the race, halting a run of four consecutive successes by Hamilton.
"Nico has proved this year many times he has what it takes to be a world champion," Webber says. "Brazil was a pivotal weekend. Lewis had many victories leading up to it. Brazil is not an easy track to nail. it had a resurfaced circuit, they had to get on top of things really quickly. Nico dealt with that race extremely well.
"But Lewis has the upper hand, of course he does. He has the points on the table."
"They've both done super jobs," said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, "but if Lewis doesn't win it after winning 10 grands prix you'd have to say there is something wrong. He deserves it. But a puncture, these power-units are coming to the end of their lives, anything can happen."

Full qualifying results
A Ryan Allsop own goal plus strikes from John Marquis and Alfie May had Rovers in front on three occasions - only for Sean Longstaff, Oliver Turton and Callum Cooke to peg them back.
Doncaster took the lead after 37 minutes when Tommy Rowe's fine strike rattled back off the crossbar and ricocheted in off goalkeeper Allsop and into the goal.
But within a minute the visitors were level when Longstaff smashed in an unstoppable shot from 30 yards.
Marquis put Rovers back in front in first-half stoppage time when he hooked in a volley from close range.
After a tight start to the second half, Blackpool equalised with 65 minutes gone as a stunning curling effort from Turton shocked the home side.
The Seasiders were on top after levelling but fell behind again when May nipped in to slot past Allsop after 75 minutes.
Blackpool were not behind for long as substitute Cooke finished off a fine passing move two minutes later.

The dispute centres on Cupar postman David Mitchell, who was sacked after being accused of stealing mail.
Mr Mitchell has not yet been given his job back despite winning his unfair dismissal case at an industrial tribunal in September.
Members of the CWU union at Cupar sorting office started a 24-hour strike at 08:30 on Saturday.
A spokesman for Royal Mail said it had "robust contingency plans in place" and would continue to deliver to all of its customers in Cupar despite the strike going ahead.
The industrial tribunal had concluded that there was insufficient evidence that Mr Mitchell had stolen money and gift cards from his delivery round, and said he should be given his job back.
Royal Mail has challenged the ruling.
Stuart McIntosh of the CWU said staff at the sorting office were "angry and disappointed" at Royal Mail's treatment of Mr Mitchell, and had voted "almost unanimously" for industrial action.
He called on Royal Mail to abide by the tribunal's ruling, and said there were plans to take further industrial action if necessary.
John Davies, 94, died earlier this month after spending his final years at a care home in Gorleston, Norfolk.
He served in World War Two, in North America and India, but only a few people had been expected to attend his burial until the social media appeal.
Mick Smith, who backed the Facebook plea, said it was a "fitting funeral".
Mr Smith, from Newmarket, Suffolk, spotted a message on a serviceman's forum post and then shared it with all his friends as he felt it was "sad" the funeral would be so poorly attended.
Mr Davies was born and bred in Burgh Castle, near Great Yarmouth, and left school at 14 to work on a poultry farm for seven shillings a week.
He was a hotel chef in London before and after World War Two, and later a maintenance engineer at The Star Hotel in Great Yarmouth until his retirement.
He continued to work into his mid-80s, running a market stall selling CDs in aid of the Caister Lifeboat.
"I saw a posting on social media and it didn't seem to be getting a lot of attention, so I pushed it out to everyone I knew," said Mr Smith.
"Such a big character - he must have known so many people - he did charity work and in his time everyone would have known him, but they forget because he goes into a home.
"It's a fitting funeral for a war hero - someone who built this country."
Mr Davies had two brothers and two sisters, who all died before him, and never married after missing his planned wartime wedding due to an overseas posting.
His hearse was escorted from Great Yarmouth by a group of bikers, including Mr Smith, to Gorleston's Magdalen Lawn cemetery.
Standard bearers led the procession into the graveyard, before the Reverend Albert Cadmore took the short graveside service.
"It is good that while he outlived his family, so many have come here today to pay tribute to him," said Mr Cadmore.
Friend Beryl Baker, who lived with him at The Gables care home, said: "He was a lovely man and a good friend and I miss him very much.
"It was nice to see all these people come and say goodbye."
The Slovenian champions, thrashed 6-0 at Stamford Bridge, took the lead through Agim Ibraimi's sublime curler.
But the Blues equalised when Nemanja Matic poked in John Terry's header at the far post.
Hazard was fouled by Mitja Viler to win a penalty, but the Belgian's weak effort was saved by Jasmin Handanovic.
Hazard's rare miss - he has scored 27 out of 30 penalties in his career - summed up a frustrating evening for the Blues, who had been denied an earlier spot-kick for what appeared a foul on Oscar and had a Diego Costa goal wrongly disallowed for offside.
Both had been brought on at half-time as manager Jose Mourinho tried to inject some energy into an under-par display.
The result, combined with Sporting Lisbon's 4-2 victory over Schalke, leaves Chelsea three points clear of the Germans and needing to win one of their remaining two games to guarantee their passage to the knock-out phase.
The Blues also equalled a club record by extending their unbeaten start to the season to 16 matches.
Mourinho, whose side face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday, made four changes to the team that beat QPR 2-1 on Saturday.
Centre-back Kurt Zouma, brought in for Gary Cahill, should have opened the scoring inside 10 minutes but he headed Cesc Fabregas's dinked cross wide of the near post.
Maribor served early notice of their threat on the break when Tavares weaved through three Chelsea defenders and bore down on Petr Cech, only to over-hit his attempted pass to strike partner Luka Zahovic.
Chelsea responded strongly, as Andre Schurrle fired a shot narrowly wide before Hazard's fierce drive was pushed aside by Handanovic.
Despite Mourinho's tactical re-jig, Chelsea fell behind within five minutes of the restart. Zouma's headed clearance landed at the feet of Ibraimi, whose sumptuous curling shot found the top corner of Cech's goal.
After Costa blazed high and wide, Chelsea were given a huge let-off at the other end when Zahovic side-footed over the bar from three yards after a perfect cross from left-back Viler.
With 20 minutes remaining, the visitors were denied a penalty when Oscar appeared to be tripped by his fellow Brazilian Arghus.
Chelsea's sense of grievance was short-lived. From a Fabregas corner, Terry's downward header presented Matic with the simplest of tap-ins to equalise.
As the Blues pushed hard for a winner, Handanovic made superb saves to deny Hazard and Costa, who then had a goal ruled out for offside.
But Maribor stayed in the game and almost snatched it when Tavares slashed Jean-Philippe Mendy's square pass wide of goal.
In the 85th minute, the outstanding Hazard was tripped by Viler in the box, but Handanovic dived to his left to keep it out and secure a famous point.

Football's world governing body said on Thursday that it paid the FAI 5m euros (£3.6m) after France controversially beat Ireland in a World Cup play-off.
Mr Boyce has called on Fifa's executive committee to begin an investigation.
"How anyone can authorise a payment of 5m (£3.6m) to stop legal proceedings is totally beyond me," he said.
Fifa is currently in crisis as it faces criminal investigations having been engulfed by claims of "systemic and deep-rooted" corruption, and its president Sepp Blatter is stepping down.
FAI chief executive John Delaney said he had believed they had a case against Fifa after French striker Thierry Henry's handball in the build-up to a decisive goal in the 2009 match in Paris which caused Ireland to miss the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
He said he and Mr Blatter "came to an agreement" after the Fifa president publicly dismissed the country's appeal to be made a "33rd team" at the tournament.
A Fifa spokesman confirmed it had "entered into an agreement with FAI in order to put an end to any claims" against it.
Mr Boyce, a former Irish Football Association president who completed his term of office as Fifa vice-president last week, said he wants the FAI's payment investigated.
"If this was authorised by the president of Fifa without the knowledge of the executive committee this is something that has to be looked into," he said.
"I'm absolutely astounded. I have never heard anything as ridiculous in my life.
"If a payment of 5m [euros] has been paid because of a handball and threatened legal action then I hope a full investigation will be carried out into this and any other such arbitrary payments."
The money was to be repaid if Ireland qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but they failed to do so and Fifa wrote off the loan on 31 December 2014.
The FAI said the money was spent on the new Aviva Stadium that opened in May 2010 after the old Lansdowne Road ground was redeveloped.
Mr Boyce described Mr Delaney's admission as "incredible".
"I've never known in my experience of football someone giving a payment like that for a referee's mistake to stop someone taking legal action," he added.
On Friday, the Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane refused to comment on the payment.
"Not today, I'm not in the mood for all that stuff today," he said when asked about the controversy.
But when asked whether Mr Delaney was "a distraction" to the national team's on-field matters, he joked: "Isn't he always?"
About six men, apparently from Iran, stripped down during the demonstration near the village of Eidomeni.
Hundreds of migrants have been protesting after Macedonia limited passage to only those fleeing conflict.
Europe's border controls have come under renewed scrutiny since the attacks in Paris on 13 November.
Balkan countries said last week they would only open their borders to people fleeing countries affected by war such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The restrictions came after a forged Syrian passport was found next to the body of one of the perpetrators involved in the Islamic State attacks in the French capital.
The latest action by migrants stranded on the Greece-Macedonia border follows days of protests.
The men - some of whom appear to be from Iran's Kurdish minority - sewed their mouths shut, scrawled messages such as "Just freedom" on their foreheads and chests, and sat down on railway tracks in front of riot police.
Men from Bangladesh and Morocco also joined the protests after they too were deemed "economic migrants" and denied passage.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants, many of them Syrians fleeing war, have made the perilous journey through the Balkans after arriving in Europe by boat in Greece from Turkey.
Most head for the more affluent countries of northern and western Europe, mainly Germany and Sweden.
German federal police said on Monday that the number of asylum seekers arriving in the country in November was expected to exceed the previous monthly high recorded in October.
They said some 180,000 asylum seekers had already entered the country so far this month - compared with 181,000 in the whole of the previous month.
Meanwhile the numbers crossing from Greece into Macedonia fell on Monday amid the new restrictions, according to the Associated Press.

Around 2,900 people crossed into Macedonia in the 24 hours before 0600 (local time) on Monday, down from more than 6,000 on the previous day, the news agency quoted local police as saying.
The move by Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia to impose stricter entry criteria left thousands stranded and sparked human rights concerns.
The Iranian government has disproportionately targeted the country's Sunni, ethnic Kurdish minority with arbitrary arrest, prolonged detention, and physical abuse, according to the US state department.
The EU's Schengen agreement, which allows passport-free travel between 26 European nations, has come under increased strain since the attacks in Paris.
Right-wing European politicians called for border closures following indications that one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France had crossed into Greece using a fake passport.
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.

Durham struck in consecutive overs with Malan and Voges departing, after Malan edged Chris Rushworth to Michael Richardson behind the stumps and Voges was well held by Steve Borthwick.
Middlesex pushed past 300 as Jack Simpson and Paul Stirling (41 not out) put on 71 for the sixth wicket, as the away side remained in the ascendency.
The film depicts the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama led by Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
It is a contender for best picture at next month's Academy Awards, alongside seven other films including Birdman, Boyhood and Grand Budapest Hotel.
Cast and crew, including director Ava DuVernay, are expected to attend the screening on Friday.
The film picked up just two nominations for the Oscars, the second being a nomination for best original song, Glory, by John Legend and Common.
But British actor David Oyelowo missed out on a best actor citation, for his depiction of Martin Luther King, and Ava DuVernay failed to make the cut for best director.
Had she been nominated, DuVernay would have become the first African-American woman to be nominated in that category.
The Oscar nominations have come under fire from some commentators for their lack of diversity, after it was revealed that all 20 contenders for the acting categories were white.
However, the Academy's first African-American woman president, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, told New York magazine's Vulture blog that the organisation does not have a diversity problem "at all".
Family cinema
Previous Oscar contenders to be shown at the White House include last year's Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and Stephen Spielberg's Lincoln in 2012, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln.
The screening will take place in the 40-seat family cinema, part of Obama's private family quarters, according to Variety.
The first movie screened at the White House was in 1915, when Woodrow Wilson hosted a showing of Birth of a Nation.
The Obamas have also screened Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (2008), Julie & Julia (2009), starring Meryl Streep and He's Just Not That Into You (2009), starring Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore.
Plaid leader Leanne Wood has said she could do a deal to put Labour in power even if the SNP was not involved.
She said Mr Miliband was irresponsible to rule out an SNP deal, claiming it could "open the door" to the Tories.
The Labour leader said he was "not interested in deals or coalitions", but in being "a Labour prime minister who puts forward a Labour programme".
Speaking at a Labour party rally in Cardiff on Friday, Mr Miliband said it was a "pretty dead cert" that David Cameron wanted to cut child benefit.
Accusing the Conservatives of planning to reduce tax credits for families if they win next week's election, the Labour leader said his first act as prime minister would be to find money to scrap the so-called bedroom tax.
Family finances, he said, were "on the ballot paper at this election".
Mr Miliband said: "For the hundreds of thousands of families in Wales, they should know David Cameron is planning to cut your child benefit. That is the choice in six days' time.
"You've got six days to save your child benefit, and the way to do that is to vote Labour.
"Because Mr Cameron denied he was going to means test child benefit at the last election and then did.
"He's not even denying further cuts to child benefit at this election. So it's a pretty dead cert that that is exactly what he's going to do."
Visiting the marginal Cardiff North seat for the Conservatives, Home Secretary Theresa May said Mr Miliband would need to negotiate with the Scottish nationalists on every parliamentary vote to run a minority government.
"He said there wouldn't be a formal coalition or a formal deal, but actually what has become clear from Nicola Sturgeon, but also from other members of the Labour shadow cabinet, is that there would be arrangements on a vote by vote, issue by issue basis," she said.
"So what we would see if Labour is in government is a Labour government propped up by the SNP."
That would mean higher taxes, more borrowing and "weaker defences", she said.
Mrs May also brushed off Labour's claims that her party would cut child benefit.
She said David Cameron had been "very clear, he rejected those plans when they were first proposed and he rejects them now".
She added: "If we've said that child benefit will be frozen that is a very real difference."
Elsewhere in the election campaign, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood is promoting party pledges to scrap zero-hours contracts and raise the minimum wage.
Marking International Workers' Day, she said her party was committed to increasing the minimum wage of £6.50 an hour to the so-called living wage - currently £7.85 an hour - by 2020.
Ms Wood will also be taking part in the second and final TV election debate involving Welsh leaders of the six main parties in Cardiff on Friday evening.
Demonstrators set up barricades and hurled firebombs in Valparaiso, where Chile's Congress meets. Police fired tear gas and water cannon.
A security guard died from fume inhalation when masked protestors burned a pharmacy and supermarket.
Chileans are angry because of an economic downturn and a corruption scandal involving Ms Bachelet's family.
Some of the fires continued burning for hours and smoke could be seen rising from several places in the city.
Ms Bachelet, who was elected in 2013 promising to reduce inequality, said the country was on a path of reform "from which there is no turning back".
She said policies guaranteeing everyone a free education showed the country was heading in the right direction.
"If we don't make the changes now with everyone working together, the tensions and obstacles will grow and our opportunity to progress will be frustrated," she said.
However, she also said other reforms would be delayed because of the economic slowdown in the country.
Correspondents say there are often protests on the day of the presidential address.
Disqualification proceedings issued by the Department for the Economy over the directors' roles began on Thursday.
The application follows critical reports into the oversight and running of the body which folded in 2007.
The court heard some of the respondents plan to contest the proceedings.
Others were said to be considering whether to give undertakings.
The eleven named in the papers are: Samuel Mervyn Elder, Jasper Perry, Gerry Lennon, Jim Rodgers, James Clarke, Thomas Alan Clarke, Paul Henry McWilliams, William David White, Aideen Corr, Victor Campbell Haslett, and Catherine Williamson.
Gerry Lennon is Visit Belfast chief executive and Jim Rodgers is High Sheriff of Belfast.
Thomas Alan Clarke is a former chief executive of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board and James Clarke is the current chief executive of the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools.
The NI Events Company (NIEC) was formed in 1997 to support major sports and music events.
Lawyers for some of those who sat on the NIEC's board have claimed they were being made scapegoats to deflect attention from civil servants who failed to provide proper scrutiny.
Following a brief hearing, the case was adjourned until November.
Bill de Blasio said the public snubbing had been disrespectful to the families of the two men and to the city.
Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot dead last month by a gunman with a grievance against the police.
Many police have resented the mayor's expressions of sympathy for anti-police protesters in recent months.
"Those individuals who took certain actions the last two weeks, they were disrespectful to the families involved. That's the bottom line," Mr de Blasio told reporters at police headquarters.
"They were disrespectful to the families who lost their loved ones. I can't understand why anyone would do such a thing in the context like that."
Mr de Blasio also dismissed suggestions that police had been working to rule since the killing of the two officers.
He described the apparent fall-off in arrests and court appearances for minor offences as an aberration.
"I certainly don't think a few very aberrant days suggest anything compared to what you see over the course of the whole year," he said.
Mr de Blasio's remarks were supported by New York's police commissioner, William Bratton, who said that the officers who turned their backs on him had "embarrassed themselves".
"The idea of what is effectively a labour action being taken in the middle of a funeral where we are honouring the death of two police officers - I just don't understand it," Mr Bratton said.
Speaking after the policemen were shot, the head of the city's largest police union, Patrick Lynch, hit out at the liberal mayor, saying there was "blood on many hands".
The shootings followed a wave of demonstrations over killings of unarmed black men by white police officers, beginning in the Missouri town of Ferguson last summer.
There was anger in New York after a grand jury decided not to press charges against a white police officer over the death of unarmed black man Eric Garner, who was placed in a chokehold while being restrained by police officers.
Mr de Blasio had expressed solidarity with the protesters and had publicly wondered if his son, who is mixed-race, was safe from police.
Critics have argued that such rhetoric helped to create an environment that encouraged violence against police.
The man who shot the two officers - Ismaaiyl Brinsley - killed himself in a subway station as police were closing in.
Brinsley, 28, had a history of violence and mental instability. On the day of the shooting, he went on social media to say he was planning to kill police officers.
It is now six months since ex-energy minister Charles Hendry's report was published, concluding that the £1.3bn lagoon would be a "no regrets" option.
The UK government is yet to respond to his findings but said it needed time to assess the lagoon's merits.
Investors have warned it risks stalling unless a green light is given soon.
The latest state of play with the project is:
Though ministers are yet to set out where they stand, Mr Hendry told BBC Wales he believed their message had been "consistent".
"They say they are carefully considering the scheme. The election has delayed that process and there may be other factors too," he said.
"But now with Greg Clark back in place as business secretary I'm hopeful of a definitive answer soon."
Mr Hendry added that he had been "very enthused" by the degree of cross-party support for the world-first power generation project.
The proposal for a 320MW lagoon off Swansea Bay, involving a 9.5km seawall embedded with 16 turbines, is being developed by Tidal Lagoon Power (TLP).
The project was included in the Conservatives' 2015 manifesto and was granted planning permissions by then Energy Secretary Amber Rudd that same year.
However government support seemed to wane as discussions continued over the so-called strike price, a guarantee to subsidise the cost of electricity from the scheme.
The latest proposal by TLP involved a price of £89.90 per megawatt hour, guaranteed for 90 years.
By comparison, the price agreed for the new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C in Somerset was £92.50 per megawatt hour for 35 years.
An independent review was commissioned in February 2016 to look into the viability of tidal lagoon schemes and it reported almost a year later.
Tidal lagoon: The economic arguments
The environmental arguments
How tidal energy could transform the coastline
Mr Hendry concluded that moving ahead with the prototype lagoon in Swansea Bay was in the national interest.
The developers had argued that it would kick-start a new industry and that a "fleet" of larger, more cost-effective lagoons across the UK coastline could follow.
TLP is based in Gloucester and the city's Conservative MP Richard Graham is the chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Marine Energy and Tidal Lagoons.
He told BBC Wales he had met with Greg Clark this week and had "a good discussion".
"I think he absolutely gets it that we cannot prevaricate as a government indefinitely on this - and a decision should be made as soon as possible," he said.
Mr Graham said he had consistently made the point to Mr Clark that the tidal lagoon was "probably the most popular energy project of our lifetimes."
He added: "If we want a government that's got an industrial strategy, that's going to do innovative things, this is the project, this is the time - let's go for it."
What could the delay mean?
Richard Howard, head of energy for the Policy Exchange think-tank told BBC Wales the delay in responding to the review showed that TLP was yet to "put together a proposition to government that is sufficiently compelling".
"In the time in which this project has been developed we've seen massive, radical reductions in the cost of solar energy, offshore and onshore wind and that will continue," he said.
"So actually locking yourself into a tidal lagoon for 90 years might not actually be the right option."
As the wait for a go-ahead goes on, money is drying up for TLP with the scheme's backers now refusing to release further funds, the Financial Times reported.
David Clubb, director of Renewable UK Cymru said he was concerned that private investment that was "strongly needed" in south Wales would go elsewhere.
"Clearly every new project of this scale suggests risks - and it is right that the government should consider those risks."
"But the Hendry Review was a very in-depth, comprehensive study which took account of all of those risks and it still came to the conclusion that this was a no regrets option."
"So we would say to the government, let's act now - these sorts of opportunities don't come along very often."
A decision is needed this summer, TLP says, for work to start on the lagoon in 2019.
New evidence on the impact on fish
Another hurdle remains in Wales, which is the issuing of a marine licence by the environmental regulator Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
The process started in 2014, with TLP and NRW saying they have been in "exhaustive discussions" about the impact on fish.
In December 2016, NRW published figures suggesting the lagoon would mean 21% of salmon and 25% of sea trout dying each year, as they migrate to and from local rivers.
The developers strongly refuted that analysis which they claimed had "no scientific basis", branding the figures "grossly misleading".
Now they have submitted what they claim is a "finalised projection" of the development's likely impact on the marine environment, having agreed a new modelling method with NRW.
Andy Schofield, TLP's head of fisheries said the work had been "particularly challenging" as this was a world-first scheme and there was little research already available about fish behaviour in the Bristol channel.
He said the developers had looked for other examples across the world and spoken to leading experts in the field.
"The results we are now presenting show that the lagoon will have a very low impact on fish."
"The other reassurance is that when the lagoon is constructed we will have an adaptive environmental management plan in place and we will be constantly monitoring for any impact."
"We believe that these figures will now enable NRW to grant us a marine license and we hope that they will be able to do that in early 2018."
NRW will now launch a fresh consultation on the marine licence application in light of the new evidence submitted by TLP.
Ceri Davies, executive director of evidence policy and permitting for NRW, said: "We support the development of sustainable renewable energy. This development is a world-first, and the scale and the technology involved makes determining the marine licence complex."
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said the UK government was considering the recommendations and the issues which arise from a broader programme.
"We will require time to assess the merits of such a programme and determine what is in the best interest of the UK energy consumer and taxpayer in the long term and will publish its response to the Hendry Review in due course," he said.
Their seven-wicket victory in the third Test gave England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
Stuart Broad took 6-17 to help bowl the number one Test side out for 83 on a pulsating third day in Johannesburg.
"If we keep doing the right things we should be able to do something special," Cook told Test Match Special.
"It's a privilege to captain these guys because they can change games as quickly as that."
The Test series victory is England's first overseas since they beat India in 2012-13.
Broad took the man-of-the-match award for his sensational spell on the third afternoon, which included taking five wickets for one run in 31 balls.
"Winning in South Africa has been a dream of mine, so to do it in their own back yard is very special," he said.
South Africa, having bowled England out for 323 to limit them to a first-innings lead of 10, were 23-0 shortly after lunch.
But Broad claimed the first five wickets with a hostile spell on a Wanderers surface offering pace and bounce to effectively settle the contest.
Cook said coach Trevor Bayliss had given the team a "kick" in the lunch interval, adding: "Rather than sulking about it the lads looked at themselves, led by Broady, and there was a real intensity in the field for that two-hour session.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It was a realisation from a guy that doesn't say too much that this is the time: if you want to win the series then you've got an opportunity."
South Africa captain AB de Villiers said: "I haven't seen a team bowl like that for a long time. We were outplayed in the second innings - credit to them."
Broad added: "I'd take that wicket everywhere with me. It offered a bit of seam, a bit of bounce, and it was swinging a little bit."
Broad, 29, said Joe Root "probably deserved" the match award for his counter-attacking 110, which rescued England from 91-4 on the second day in alliance with Ben Stokes, who made 58.
Broad said: "It's sort of what you've come to expect from Joe. That will go down as one of his best hundreds."
Although Steven Finn took a wicket with his second ball on Saturday, he spent part of the South Africa innings off the field with a side strain.
Cook said the pace bowler is "unlikely" to play in the final Test in Centurion starting on 22 January.

Ministers must introduce a plan to tackle the inequalities before the end of the year, the Women and Equalities Committee said.
Figures suggest they are three times more likely to be unemployed jobseekers than women generally, and twice as likely to be economically inactive.
The government said it was committed to making Britain "work for everyone".
Progress has been made, with 45% more Muslim women in work than in 2011, but ministers "know there is much more to do", a government spokesman added.
Many Muslim women in Britain face a "triple penalty" impacting on their job prospects - being women, being from an ethnic minority and being Muslim, the committee suggested.
It cited Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures for 2015, which found 35% of all Muslim women from 16 to 64 were in employment. By contrast, 69% of all British working-age women were in employment between March and May this year.
The starkest comparison was in the proportion of women who are classed as economically inactive - that is, unemployed and not seeking work.
The 2015 ONS figures found that 58% of Muslim women were economically inactive. By contrast, 27% of all working-age women in the UK were economically inactive between March and May.
The percentage of Muslim women unemployed and seeking work was 16%, the ONS found - compared with 5% of women nationally.
The unemployment rate is calculated as a percentage of those who are economically active.
The figures suggest Muslim women are the least economically successful group in British society, the report added.
The report cited Demos's analysis of the 2011 Census which found that nearly half (44%) of economically inactive Muslim women are inactive because they are looking after the home; this compares with a national average of 16% of women who are inactive for this reason.
The report cited a number of contributing factors:
A 21-year-old Muslim graduate from Manchester has spoken to BBC News anonymously about what she believes was discrimination when she applied for a sales job.
She said: "There were two phone interviews... and I got brilliant feedback. They said 'You sound absolutely perfect for this role' and said I was very articulate - that kind of thing."
But the 21-year-old said that when it came to a face-to-face group interview, during which she was the only person wearing a headscarf, there was a "change in the tone".
"I felt they were strange, and there was a bit of a change in the atmosphere, and that was not a nice feeling for me," she said.
She did not get the position.
"It has lessened my confidence a little bit when going for face-to face interviews, I definitely think I'm more confident over the phone," she added.
The report refers to a "chill factor" where the perception and fear of discrimination or hostile work colleagues puts Muslim women off applying for certain jobs.
The MPs called on ministers to roll out "name-blind recruitment" to all employers, so that recruiters do not see applicants' names, following evidence that job applicants with white-sounding names are more likely to get an interview.
Married women in Muslim communities are often expected to be home-makers while their husbands are the breadwinners, the committee heard from expert witnesses.
"The impact of the very real inequality, discrimination and Islamophobia that Muslim women experience is exacerbated by the pressures that some women feel from parts of their communities to fulfil a more traditional role," the committee said.
But Faeeza Vaid from the Muslim Women's Network stressed that while family pressure may be an issue for a "small proportion of Muslim women", many other women were breaking stereotypes in a wide range of roles from doctors to pilots.
The committee said attitudes were changing, but not fast enough, saying the government must introduce a plan to tackle the inequalities faced by Muslims by the end of the year.
"We call on the government to introduce a role models and mentoring programme aimed at Muslim women to help them realise their potential in employment," the report said.
Maria Miller, who chairs the Women and Equalities Committee, said: "Muslim women particularly, face really unacceptable levels of discrimination and that discrimination comes from the workplace, from employers, but also from within communities as well."
The musician was best known for his association with Paganini and was sometimes referred to as the Paganini of the 20th Century.
Born in San Francisco in 1918, he began learning the violin when he was six and was taught by Yehudi Menuhin's teacher, Louis Persinger.
His talent was soon recognised when he won a local violin competition.
In a newspaper report on the contest, Ricci was described as "a youthful genius".
He made his full recital debut in his home city in 1928 and went to study in Berlin before returning home to work with Persinger again.
He embarked upon his first European tour in 1932, making his debut in London with Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.
In the same year he played for the scientist Albert Einstein at the California Institute of Technology.
During World War II he joined the Army Air Force, becoming an "entertainment specialist" who played for the troops.
He went on to perform more than 5,000 concerts in 65 countries.
Ricci taught at Indiana University, the Juilliard School, the University of Michigan and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
His many recordings include works by Paganini, Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.
On hearing of his death, author Norman Lebrecht described Ricci as "a man of immense natural warmth".
"He carried on playing and teaching until he could barely hold a bow," he continued on his blog.
The NBL "ceased with immediate effect" in March after three years.
Badminton England said at the time that the ending of the competition was "a consequence of" the withdrawal of all funding from UK Sport.
"There have been talks of the league continuing in some format," 39-year-old Kellogg told BBC Radio Derby.
"There have been a number of meetings with the interested franchises about the ways we can continue to raise the profile of the sport and franchises themselves.
"The dedicated badminton fans will still be able to watch the elite players."
Kellogg played for Team Derby in the NBL, the country's first professional badminton competition, which was launched in August 2014 with much fanfare as one that could make a major impact on the sport.
Badminton England said over 1.3 million viewers watched televised NBL fixtures involving seven teams during its three seasons.
Among the subjects discussed at meetings about reviving the league was the possibility of streaming matches on social media.
"I think it would definitely be a good compromise for now," Kellogg said.
More than 130 players from 15 different nations have played in the NBL, including a host of Olympians including Great Britain husband and wife Chris and Gabby Adcock.
Kellogg, a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist in Kuala Lumpur, said the NBL was "really successful" in engaging the next generation and "raising the game's profile".
And she added: "The league has been great for young kids who were able to see top level badminton on their doorsteps."
The new stores scheduled to open over the next 12 months are Auldhouse Retail Park, Glasgow (April), Dumfries (June), Montrose (July), Drumchapel, Glasgow (August), Oxgangs, Edinburgh (October).
Planning permission is being sought for a sixth store.
This will bring the number of Aldi stores in Scotland to 78 by the end of the year, employing 2,600 people.
The company's Scottish headquarters in Bathgate is also undergoing a multi-million pound extension and it plans to extend its regional distribution centre in Bathgate over the next two years.
This will result in the total number of jobs being created in Scotland this year to about 300.
Aldi said it will continue to grow its range of 360 Scottish-sourced products.
In the past year, the company has announced significant supplier deals with local companies.
Aldi Scotland managing director Richard Holloway said: "We want to build on the success of 2016 by opening additional stores in new locations in Scotland and work with even more of the best Scottish producers.
"We continue to deliver the highest quality and value, and I am confident that we will strike deals with more Scottish suppliers in the coming year.
"Our growth plans for 2017 underpin Aldi's ongoing commitment to Scotland which saw eight new stores open in 2016 and the launch of Aldi's first Scottish Sport Fund, support which shall be renewed in the course of the year."
The 1-in-50 scale miniature was created to test planned improvements to the beach and sea defences.
Specialists HR Wallingford built it at the company's research centre in Oxfordshire.
Tom Rigden, of the firm, said: "Computer models are improving all the time, but there's still no substitute for a physical model."
Conwy council, which commissioned the model, wants to extend the sandy beach from the centre of Colwyn Bay around to Rhos-on-Sea.
However, it needs to test how much sand is needed and how long it will stay in place before the waves wash it away.
Benji Poulton, the council's project manager, said: "Bringing in the sand is a very expensive operation, so we need to be sure that when we did bring in the sand, it will stay in the area where we put it.
"Having a model built will test the theories for a fraction of the price and give us the chance to optimise our design before we go ahead."
In 2013, the council brought half a million tonnes of sand to the beach, close to Colwyn Bay town centre.
The results of this experiment will help it to do similar work with a new section of seafront and to improve the beach and the sea defences around to Rhos-on-Sea.
The model includes wave-making machines, a replica coastline and even a miniature version of Rhos-on-Sea breakwater and slipway.
Mr Rigden, of HR Wallingford, said: "It's a 1-in-50 scale model - that means one metre in our model is equivalent to 50 metres in the real world.
"The coast is extremely complicated. The physical processes with waves, sea bed and sea shore are complex, and the forces involved are immense.
"The best way to get an idea of what is happening is to build this scale model, which allows us to test all the forces, all the processes in one go."
Bradford Crown Court was told the club's chief executive, Margaret Byrne, met with Mr Johnson and his barrister in May 2015.
She was also issued with a copy of his police interview transcript and that of his alleged victim.
Mr Johnson, 28, denies two counts of sexual activity with a child.
The court heard that at this meeting the footballer was to accept that he had kissed the 15-year-old girl and messages had been exchanged.
In court, his barrister, Orlando Pownall QC, asked: "Was there any discussion of being summarily dismissed by the club? Was there any such discussion in the days that followed?"
Mr Johnson replied to each question: "No."
Mr Pownall asked if he had been present at any decision made by the club with regard to his future, but the footballer said he had not.
He told the court that his father received a phone call telling him his son's playing contract was being ended after, on the first day of his trial, he pleaded guilty to one charge of grooming and one count of sexual activity with a child.
The winger also told the jury he "showed a complete lack of integrity" towards his girlfriend Stacey Flounders.
He told his partner to "stop being paranoid" when she asked him who he was sending messages to, the court heard.
Mr Johnson, who has 12 England caps, said he set up a new Snapchat account so that the girl could message him.
The court heard that he sent the words "it was class" in a text to the teenager. Asked by prosecutor Kate Blackwell, QC, what he meant, he replied "the kiss".
Mr Johnson told the jury that during the kiss with the girl he "came to his senses" thinking about his partner and daughter.
He then admitted he was "trying to keep the girl on side" so that she did not tell anyone what had happened.
The player told the court he did flirt with the girl after their second meeting and told her "we'll have to go in the back next time".
He admitted he was referring to "further sexual activity", but added that there was no third meeting.
It is understood that players including Steven Fletcher had been due to give evidence on his behalf in the trial.
Mr Pownall QC asked him: "Since you pleaded guilty how has their approach been to you?"
Mr Johnson replied: "They took a step back."
Earlier, in cross-examination, Miss Blackwell said: "Some people may feel sorry for you because you have thrown away your glittering career. The position you are in now was a direct result of your excessive arrogance."
Mr Johnson replied: "I would say more stupidity."
He went on to state he felt remorse for his actions and added his arrest was the worst day of his life.
When asked by his barrister why, he replied: "Because I had been arrested for sexual activity with a child."
In her evidence to the court, a friend of the alleged victim said the girl had been "bragging" about what had happened between her and the star.
The witness said she had told the girl she thought it had been wrong, but "she didn't care because he was a footballer".
A second young witness said the teenager told her Mr Johnson had performed a sex act on her and likewise, she on him.
Born in Sunderland, he began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then on to Sunderland for £10m in 2012.
The footballer has previously pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one charge of grooming. He was sacked by Sunderland as a result.
The trial continues.
The blast, which happened in Cecil Road, Blackley, at about 12:40 GMT, reduced much of the end terrace property to rubble and badly damaged the home next door.
A man with "major trauma" injuries was taken to Salford Royal Hospital and another person was taken to Wythenshawe hospital.
Three people were treated at the scene.
The precise cause of the blast is not yet known but was being treated as gas-related, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue said.
A "small number" of people living in nearby homes were advised to temporarily leave the area, a spokesman said.

Crews used sniffer dogs to assess the scene and make sure no one was trapped.
Zoe Spencer, who lives nearby and was at home when the blast occurred, said: "I had my headphones on listening to music and all of a sudden there was just a humungous bang, like someone smashing the windows.
"You just wondered, what was that?"
Incident commander Merl Forrer said: "We are currently shoring up the property and using dogs to search the scene to ensure nobody is trapped inside.
"The building is partially collapsed and we are working to determine a cause."
A dozen apprenticeships will be among the extra positions at The Village Bakery's three sites at the Wrexham Industrial Estate and in nearby Minera.
The increase will bring the firm's workforce up to 500.
Operations director Simon Thorpe said the firm was "very fortunate" to be going through "another period of significant growth".
The plan is separate to a proposal the firm submitted to Wrexham council last year for an expanded £16m "super bakery", which was linked to 100 potential new jobs.
Apprentices for the current expansion will be trained at the firm's £4m baking academy and innovation centre, which was officially opened by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in 2015.
The empty room illustrated how Afghanistan has disappeared from the top of the agenda of US and European policy makers and public and media consciousness.
However, in a few weeks, Afghans go to the polls to elect a new president. A fraud-free election and a peaceful political transition from President Hamid Karzai to a new president, accepted by the majority of the people, will ultimately matter far more for the future stability of Afghanistan and the region than speculation about the US troop withdrawal or the machinations of the Taliban.
Yet critically, even after thousands of dead and $1 trillion (£602bn) spent, no-one has a clue as to the outcome of the elections or what will happen next.
A series of recent events has left Afghans and the international community even more uncertain as to the outcome of the elections on 5 April and whether they will be free and fair.
The untimely death of Vice-President Marshal Mohammed Fahim has left a huge vacuum in Mr Karzai's plans to get his favoured candidate - the former Pashtun national security adviser Zalmai Rassoul - elected.
As the leader of the powerful Panjsheri Tajiks and the designated leader of the former Shura-e Nezar or what used to be called the Northern Alliance made up of all the non-Pashtun ethnic groups and warlords, Mr Fahim's powers of wheeling and dealing with those groups were vital to Mr Karzai's plans.
Mr Karzai needs to appoint a successor quickly who has to be a Tajik, or the leading opposition candidate Abdullah Abdullah - who commands the partial support of the Northern Alliance vote bank and is ahead in the polls - could become the undisputed leader of both the Tajiks and all non-Pashtuns.
The half Tajik, half Pashtun Mr Abdullah viewed Mr Fahim as an incompetent and scheming rival - the two never got on - but Mr Abdullah now has everything to gain from the leadership vacuum that his death has created.
It suits Mr Abdullah that Mr Karzai delays any appointment of a new vice-president, so that Mr Abdullah can consolidate his vote bank in the former Northern Alliance.
Secondly, Mr Karzai's attempts to support Zalmai Rassoul as the leading - and his favoured - Pashtun candidate is not working out.
Mr Karzai's strategy has always been to get all the Pashtun candidates to support his single choice by getting other Pashtun candidates to stand down at the right moment in favour of Mr Rassoul. That would ensure a formidable vote bank against Mr Abdullah.
However, it took Mr Karzai far too long to get his brother Qayuum Karzai to stand down as a candidate and support Mr Rassoul. Now Mr Karzai has left it too late to get other Pashtun candidates, such as the fundamentalist Abdul Rasul Sayyaf and the warlord Gul Agha Sherzai, to do the same.
These candidates may now calculate that they can get a better deal from whoever becomes the next president than from Mr Karzai's candidate who may lose.
Moreover, the leading Mr Pashtun candidate now is not Mr Rassoul, but Ashraf Ghani, a well known technocrat who has been in and out of government since 2001 and is popular with the youth vote, but is someone whom Mr Karzai has never liked nor trusted and is unlikely to endorse.
According to polling undertaken by Tolo TV, Mr Ghani is trailing just behind Mr Abdullah, with Mr Rassoul a distant third. Mr Ghani's strategy is now to muster support and the vote banks from the very same Pashtun candidates that Mr Karzai is trying to swing to his side.
The greatest danger is the fear of rigging by Mr Karzai's supporters, who control the government machinery. Alleged ballot box stuffing by Mr Karzai's supporters in his 2009 re-election nearly led to civil war between Mr Karzai and Mr Abdullah.
Unfortunately, the reasons for rigging then are still present today. Back in 2009, Mr Karzai feared that the Pashtun vote bank would not turn out on election day due to Taliban threats and intimidation.
That proved true, as very few Pashtuns in the south and east actually did turn out. Instead, the government was accused of carrying out massive ballot box stuffing of Pashtun votes that made it appear that millions of Pashtuns had voted and gave Mr Karzai an undisputed advantage against Mr Abdullah.
Today, the Taliban are once again threatening death to anyone who takes part in the elections. They can most safely carry out such threats in the south and the east - the Pashtun belt - rather than in the north and west where Mr Abdullah will carry most votes.
Thus to defeat Ashraf Ghani in the first round and ensure Zalmai Rassoul becomes the leading Pashtun candidate for the second round of polling in June, the Pashtun turnout has to be large and decisive. That can only be assured by more vote rigging by government supporters, Mr Karzai's opponents say.
The hasty departure of Western troops, the major reduction of any electoral role for the United Nations by the international community, the unwillingness of any global body to carry out serious monitoring of the polls and the overall lack of international attention to the polls are likely to help create another constitutional crisis.
Tragically for Afghans, the West is already washing its hands of the polls.
If there is rigging, the losing candidates will unite against the government and Kabul.
Many Afghans are not willing to tolerate another fraudulent election. The need for a free and fair election is paramount for the country and the region.
He was found with an axe in his head in a south London pub car park in 1987.
An independent, judge-led panel of experts will now examine claims police corruption prevented a conviction, despite five investigations.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the Hillsborough-style inquiry would "shine a light" on the case.
Former Court of Appeal judge Sir Stanley Burnton will chair the independent panel, which will examine possible police involvement in the murder, allegations of police corruption during various investigations, and connections between private investigators, police officers and journalists - including those from the now-closed News of the World.
By Tom SymondsHome affairs correspondent
The case of Daniel Morgan inhabits one of the murkiest corners of recent Metropolitan Police history.
The aim of the new panel is to shine a light on it, and the former police officers, private investigators, criminals, journalists and super-grasses involved in the saga.
But realistically, its best hope is it could say something concrete about lingering allegations that police corruption prevented the Met from finding his murderer.
The panel will focus on the paper-trail of 750,000 pages of documents from five previous inquiries. It will also examine the role of Southern Investigations, the small detective agency Daniel worked for.
The BBC has evidence Southern took payments from newspapers to dig out information for stories - which sometimes, it's alleged, came from corrupt police officers. There may be fresh insight into the way the 'dark arts' of the media operated.
The panel will have access to a vast archive of documents collected by police and will pass its findings to Mr Morgan's family before publishing a report.
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said its terms of reference were likely to focus on informing public understanding of the case, rather than re-investigating the evidence - although any new leads would be followed up by Scotland Yard.
In a statement released on Friday, Mrs May acknowledged that there was "no likelihood of any successful prosecutions being brought in the foreseeable future", but that the Daniel Morgan independent panel would "shine a light" on the circumstances of his murder and the handling of the case.
She stressed the Metropolitan Police had already "admitted that police corruption was a 'debilitating factor' in the original investigation".
"Several criminal investigations failed to bring those responsible to justice and this independent panel will leave no stone unturned to find out why," she said.
"Importantly, the panel's work will put Mr Morgan's family at the centre of the process and the approach to this issue has the support of the MPS Commissioner and the Independent Police Complaints Commission."
"The panel will utilise learning from the Hillsborough Independent Panel process in addressing how to approach its work," she added.
Mr Morgan's family welcomed the move to investigate the handling of the case, which they said had been "crippled with corruption".
His brother, Alastair, said the family had endured "nothing less than mental torture" in trying to bring this to light, adding: "Through almost three decades of public protests, meetings with police officers at the highest ranks, lobbying of politicians, and pleas to the media, we have found ourselves lied to, fobbed off, bullied, degraded and let down time and time again."
He went on to say they had "witnessed a complete unwillingness by police and successive governments to face up to what was occurring, and ultimately a complete failure by police leadership to deal effectively with serious police criminality".
"We trust and hope that the panel - through its examination and publication of all relevant material and information - will assist the authorities to confront and acknowledge this failure for once and for all, so that we may at last be able to get on with our lives," he said.
Mr Morgan's family believe he was on the verge of exposing police corruption when he was murdered. Since then they have campaigned for whoever killed him to be brought to justice.
The body of Mr Morgan, originally from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, Torfaen, was found in Sydenham, south-east London, in 1987.
A trial of four men charged with his murder in 2008 collapsed in 2011, following alleged failures by the police and prosecutors.
Mr Morgan's mother Isobel Hulsmann, from Hay-on-Wye in Powys, met Mrs May at the end of 2011 to press the case.
The reigning Commonwealth and European champion destroyed the field by more than a second and a half in winning 100m breaststroke gold at Rio 2016.
But the world record holder's drive to succeed is showing no signs of abating.
"I think I can defend my titles, but defending my Olympic title is my main motivation," Peaty, 22, told BBC Sport.
"Before Rio it was no British man had won Olympic gold in 28 years. Now it is no British person in swimming has ever defended an Olympic title. It is definitely achievable, so why not?"
The next event on Peaty's horizon is the British Swimming Championship at Ponds Forge in April - yet another chance to retain a title already in his grasp.
But the six-day event is not his priority, with the four-year Olympic cycle already well under way.
Peaty's extraordinary swim in Brazil brought a first male British swimming gold since Adrian Moorhouse managed the feat in the 100m breaststroke at Seoul 1988.
Peaty is happy with his training and progress and is convinced he has the ability to go even faster on his way to making history in Japan. He is intent on breaking the time of 57.13 seconds he set in August last year.
The Uttoxeter-born star added: "At Rio, 57.1 was very, very fast, but I went 56.5 in the relay so I am guessing that there is a little more in there.
"Getting 56 would be outrageous because it would be two seconds and a bit above everyone else in the world, which is unheard of in swimming."

The 22-year-old, ranked 30th in the world, birdied three of his last nine holes to end the day on five under par.
Argentina's Emiliano Grillo had earlier recovered from two early bogeys to reel off seven birdies in cold conditions to set the clubhouse lead at Bay Hill.
He and Fitzpatrick are one clear of England's Paul Casey, while Rory McIlroy opened with a two-over 74.
The Northern Irishman bogeyed three holes on his back nine, including the 18th, and hit a double bogey on the 11th.
World number two Jason Day made a solid start to the defence of his title with a two-under opening round of 70, as the early players began in near freezing temperatures.
The Arnold Palmer Invitational is being held for the first time since Palmer died last September at the age of 87.
His grandson, PGA Tour player Sam Saunders, finished the opening day on two over par.
World number one Dustin Johnson and fellow major winners Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott are absent, while Masters champion Danny Willett withdrew on Thursday because of illness.
The 24-year-old woman was struck on Princes Street, at its junction with Lothian Road, at about 08:30.
Police Scotland is appealing for witnesses to come forward and telling motorists to avoid the area.
The Rabbie's Tours bus had been taking passengers on a trip to the West Highlands when the incident happened.
A spokesman for the company offered their sympathies to the cyclist's family and friends.
The female driver of the minibus was "very distressed" and was at home now with her family after the tour was cancelled, he added.
He said: "We are deeply saddened by the news and our thoughts and sympathies are with the woman's family and friends.
"We are giving our full assistance to the police officers investigating the incident.
"We are also supporting our colleague involved in the incident, who is extremely shaken and upset."
It is understood the woman's bike tyre got caught in tram tracks, which caused her to topple over into the path of traffic.
The cyclist was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary but police later confirmed she had died as a result of her injuries.
A City of Edinburgh Council spokesman said: "We were very saddened to hear of the tragic accident involving a cyclist and a minibus in the city centre.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the young woman.
"At this time, we cannot speculate on the circumstances of the accident but we will work with Police Scotland as they continue their investigations."
Ekeng died aged 26 after collapsing on the pitch during a Dinamo match earlier this month.
There was a minute's silence before kick-off and the game was halted in the 14th minute in memory of Ekeng, who wore the number 14 shirt at the club.
Cluj won 5-4 on penalties after the game ended 2-2 following extra time.
Ekeng suffered a suspected heart attack shortly after coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in a match against Viitorul Constanta on 6 May. He was pronounced dead two hours later.
Dinamo had said that they would honour Ekeng's memory by sending the trophy to his family in Cameroon if they had won it but despite taking a 2-0 lead it was not to be.
Spanish midfielder Juan Carlos converted the decisive spot-kick to win a fourth Romanian Cup for Cluj, who finished eighth in the domestic championship.
French striker Harlem Gnohere opened the scoring for Dinamo from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute before turning provider when he crossed for Eric Bicfalvi to head home 13 minutes later.
After scoring the goals, Gnohere and Bicfalvi ran to the touchline and lifted a shirt with Ekeng's name and number on it to the delight of Dinamo fans, who threw up large choreographed displays in memory of the Cameroon international.
Cluj reduced the deficit two minutes after the break when Juan Carlos gave keeper Vytautas Cerniauskas no chance with a powerful long-range shot.
The Railwaymen pressed forward and their Portuguese captain Camora hit the cross bar with a free-kick midway through the second half.
They were finally rewarded for their persistence a minute before the end of normal time when Spanish striker Cristian Lopez made it 2-2 with a header from Vitor Bruno's free-kick.
Neither side could find a winner in 30 minutes of extra-time and it was left to Carlos to score the crucial spot kick in the penalty shoot-out.
Differences in regions of the brain that deal with language, reading, decision-making and memory were most marked, the study found.
But the scientists from California also found that community help and teaching can remedy the disparities.
The team concludes that factors such as better school lunches and motivated teachers can have a significant impact.
In what is claimed to be the biggest study of its kind, scientists from the University of Southern California tested 1,099 typically developing people - male and female - aged between three and 20.
They measured brain surface area by scans and conducted cognitive tests, and then compared the results with the income levels of the parents.
They corrected for other potential influences on brain structure, such as inherited characteristics.
Their research is published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
The researchers found that in addition to differences between the brains of the richest and the poorest, there were also marked variations at the lower end of the scale.
There was a bigger difference, for example, between the results in children from families earning $30,000 and $50,000 per year than there was between those earning $90,000 and $110,000.
Report co-author Elizabeth Sowell said: "The most important point we want to convey is not, 'If you are poor, your brain will be smaller, and there is nothing that can be done about it' - that is absolutely not the message.
"It seems reasonable to speculate that resources afforded by the more affluent, such as nutrition, childcare, schools, help 'wire' the brain through development," she said.
"It is not too late to think about how to impact resources that enrich the developmental environment that in turn help the brain wire itself together."
Hampshire Police said officers were called at 16:55 BST after the aircraft came down in a field at the village's Army Aviation Centre.
The pilot, who was flying alone, was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin has yet to be informed.

Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Our scoring system has changed this season and a correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is now worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last time out, Lawro got seven correct results, with no perfect scores. That gave him a tally of 70 points, which was enough to beat Match of the Day commentator Steve Wilson, who managed three correct results with no perfect scores for 30 points.
Lawro was also up against a state-of-the-art sports-forecasting super-computer called SAM (Sports Analytics Machine) - which scored an impressive 110 points for the third week running to stay top of the guest leaderboard.
We are also keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct.
Lawro's best score: 160 points (week 19 v Guy Mowbray)

The Ramada in Portrush, which was owned by the Kennedy family, went into administration on Thursday.
Nama has appointed receivers to the Kennedys' other property assets in relation to a £48m debt.
East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell said he feared the move could see the hotel sold at a significant discount.
He said it could mark the start of a so-called fire sale by Nama of properties it holds in NI.
Nama has always maintained it is not in its interests to have a fire sale in Northern Ireland.
So far, there has been no comment from the agency.
The news was met with shock by the owners and local politicians.
The 69-bedroom hotel has an annual turnover of £2.2m and has won several awards.
The owners were informed on Thursday afternoon that administrators had been appointed and will now run the hotel.
The 50 full-time and part-time staff have been informed.
The owners said that despite several requests, they had been unable to meet with Nama over the past few months.
In a statement on the hotel's Facebook site, Alistair Kennedy said the business would trade as normal.
"We have been assured that all bookings and reservations are safe," he said.
"The Kennedy family who have owned and operated the hotel for the past 11 years would like to thank all our customers and friends for the support and custom they have given us over that period of time."
Mr Kennedy said he hoped customers would continue to support the hotel's staff "during what is obviously going to be a very difficult period for all involved".
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Kennedy said that on Tuesday the group had been served with a demand by Bank of Ireland, on behalf of Nama, to repay £48m of loans within 24 hours.
Those loans had originally been advanced to Kennedy Group companies by Bank of Ireland, AIB and Anglo Irish.
He said the group had sent annual business plans to Nama in October and November but the agency had been refusing to meet to discuss them.
In a statement, the administrators, from the Belfast-based accountancy and consultancy firm RSM McClure Watters, said that the hotel would remain open for business.
"We hope that people will continue to benefit from the hotel's facilities and our immediate objective is to maintain operations and honour bookings.
"Given the continuation of trade we look forward to working with the hotel's staff to drive the business forward."
DUP MP Gregory Campbell said the hotel was "quite crucial" to the causeway coast area.
"This is a well-run profitable establishment and the owners and many people in the community can't understand why Nama has moved to put it into administration," he said.
In October 2010, the construction arm of the Kennedy Group was placed into administration.
It consisted of J Kennedy and Co Contractors and three related firms, Kennedy Crane Hire, Kennedy Concrete Products and J Kennedy and Company (manufacturing).
A list of properties which have been repossessed by Nama included an industrial site on Letterloan Road in Coleraine. This is believed to be the former premises of Kennedy Concrete Products.
It is not clear why Nama has now decided to take further enforcement action against the group.
Mr Campbell and his fellow DUP MP Ian Paisley have expressed concern at the administration move and said they hoped to raise the matter with Nama through Finance Minister Sammy Wilson in the days ahead.
Peter Stewart, 43, and his brother James, 45, told police they had travelled from Aberdeen to buy a car.
They said they were then set upon by two young men at Wardieburn Street West at 18:00 on Wednesday.
Detectives have been investigating this, but are now pursuing several other lines of inquiry.
Both men suffered serious injuries, with Peter's originally said to be in a critical condition, although this has since improved and he is noe said to be stable.
His older brother was discharged from hospital on Thursday.
Officers, who are treating the incident as an attempted murder, want to speak to any witnesses who may have seen the attackers.
The first attacker was white and aged 17-19. He had a central Scotland accent and light-coloured short hair, which was shaved at the sides.
He was wearing a light-coloured sky blue hooded sweatshirt and grey jogging bottoms.
The second attacker was a white man in his mid-20s. He had a stocky build and was wearing a striped top.
Det Ch Insp Stuart Houston, of Police Scotland, said: "We'd like to thank the public for their assistance and patience so far and I would urge anyone who may have further information which can help with our inquiries to come forward.
"We're currently pursuing various lines of enquiry to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and I would like to reassure the public that there will be an increase in high visibility patrols in the local area over the coming days."
David Buchanan, 18, of Haslemere, Surrey, faces two counts of hacking and one of impairing the operation of or hindering access to a computer.
The charges relate to "computer intrusion and damage to network profiles" in July and August 2015.
Mr Buchanan is expected to appear at Guildford Magistrates' Court on 7 June.
The Mumsnet homepage was redirected to a now suspended Twitter profile page and had some posts edited during a cyber attack in August.
It was also subjected to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, where an attempt is made to force a site offline by swamping it with internet traffic.
The Metropolitan Police said two 17-year-old boys who were were interviewed under caution in relation to the incidents had been eliminated from the inquiry.
Mumsnet users were made to reset their passwords as a "precautionary measure" following the attacks.
The EFL said in May it wanted to create an extra division and have 20 teams in each from 2019-20.
The plans required the English football authorities to find additional weekends for league football.
The FA says it is no longer viable.
The EFL, which currently has 72 teams - 24 each in the Championship, League One and League Two - said the move would tackle fixture congestion and boost the finances of its members.
The rescheduling would have involved moving FA Cup fixtures into midweek slots, but the FA has informed the EFL it is no longer prepared to consider such a move following a new international broadcasting deal - reported to be worth £820m.
"If the weekend slots are not available, then there is simply no way we can meet the financial conditions as outlined at the very outset," said EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey.
"The stance the FA has adopted has brought the discussions to a premature end, before fully understanding what the financial outcome from the creation of a new distribution model could be. "
Harvey said the EFL would still welcome a change in the FA's position.
"We are, of course, open to re-engaging in what is a hugely important debate that was designed to help shape the future of football in this country," he added.
The EFL believed the move, which Harvey said had been backed in principle by the Premier League and the FA, would help:
For the proposal to be approved they would have needed the backing of 65 EFL clubs (90%) at next year's annual general meeting.
Currently, the bottom two teams in League Two are relegated from the EFL to the National League, but the plans proposed scrapping those relegation spots in the 2018-19 season.
Six other clubs - in addition to the two clubs already promoted from the National League - would have then joined the EFL.
Scottish Premiership sides Celtic and Rangers have long been linked with moving into the English pyramid, and such a move had not been ruled out by Harvey.
EFL clubs would have seen their number of league matches reduced from 46 to 38 per season.
Despite the potential of losing revenue from three fewer home matches, Harvey had asked the 72 clubs to take a "broader view of English football".
He also said long midweek trips across the country for fans would "in the main" disappear, but that Saturdays would become "more special and more important".
Exeter City chairman Julian Tagg: "People were very uncomfortable with it, and as a result were watching very carefully and trying to understand the nuances and reasoning behind it.
"Many fans across the country didn't like the idea of change and I think that was the same with our club. I think there'll be a little bit of a sigh of relief.
"As you go down the pyramid the more you're reliant on your gate receipts, unless you have some kind of philanthropic chairman who's going to throw money in, which we don't."
The dead man was Christopher Pariseleti, 41, owner of Pariseleti Construction, police told local media.
In a statement, Newton-John and her husband said they were "in shock" over the death at her home near Palm Beach.
A worker was reportedly seen crying at the property after the shooting at noon on Monday at Jupiter Inlet Colony.
The Australian star and her husband, John Easterling, were not at home when the incident happened, said police.
Officials told ABC News the death had been classified as suicide, and there were "no suspicious circumstances".
The investment aims to tackle congestion on the A494 and A55 around Queensferry and Deeside.
Flintshire cabinet backed the recommendation of its scrutiny committee which preferred the red route, but with blue route elements.
The final plan "should be a hybrid of the two options", the report said.
The red route involves upgrading the A548 over Flintshire Bridge between Connah's Quay and the Wirral and constructing a new link to the A55 at Northop - which was approved as the preferred option by Flintshire's cabinet members on Tuesday.
But councillors agreed a "crawler lane" should be added along the incline westbound section of the A55 towards Halkyn and some changes made to the Ewloe interchange, from the blue route.
"The study concluded that this wider approach to the improvements... are essential if this 'once in a generation' improvement is to provide full benefit for the residents and road users within Flintshire and provide a resilient gateway to Wales for many decades to come," the report added.
Flintshire council has until 7 July to present its formal response to the Welsh Government.
The Welsh Government said the upgrade was needed as the road was "below modern standards".
It will make the final decision, with an announcement expected in the summer.
Sammon moved back to Rugby Park on loan from Hearts on transfer deadline day.
The Irishman spent two-and-a-half years at the club previously, scoring 18 goals in 2010-11 to win a January move to Wigan, then in England's top flight.
"My last season here was probably my best as a professional footballer. That's a good omen," said Sammon, 30.
"Everything clicked into place - the style of play, the creative midfielders we had, they really helped my game, created a lot of chances and played to my strengths.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know the lads and striking up some good relationships, which will hopefully result in me getting a lot of goals between now and the end of the season.
"I'm appreciative of the opportunity to come and play here. The past couple of months have been frustrating for me so it's nice to come back to a place where I have so many fond memories and I'll look to try and add to that."
Sammon was never able to recreate that prolific scoring streak during his time in England and since moving to Hearts in the summer he has managed just one goal.
With Ian Cathro's arrival at Tynecastle, it appears he is surplus to requirements but he still has a strong belief in his own ability.
"A new manager comes in and has fresh ideas, his own style and unfortunately I didn't fit in to that so this is an opportunity to go and show what I can do and help both myself and Kilmarnock at the same time," he added.
"It's frustrating when you don't score as many goals as you would like. As a striker that's your job, you're judged on goals, I judge myself on goals.
"I'm full of confidence in my ability to come and help the team both scoring and setting up goals.
"Confidence is a huge part of a striker's game. If you're confident going out on the pitch, if you've scored in your last couple of games, you go out and play on instinct.
"I've had times when I haven't scored goals and you think about things too much, you over-analyse instead of relaxing. I'm a little bit older now. I've experienced good times, tough times so you learn how to deal with things."
Lee Clark, the Kilmarnock manager, tried to sign Sammon in the summer, but the striker chose to go to Hearts.
Knowing that Clark has belief in him too is important to the player.
"It's a bonus when you know a manager is keen on you and has been for a time," he said.
"It's up to me to repay that faith and do the business on the pitch to help the team get the results we want between now and the end of the season."
Sunaria Hamid-Howells, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, died in 2012.
A neonatal expert suggested at a previous hearing it was unlikely her fall from a rocker chair four days earlier caused her fatal injuries.
Cardiff coroner Christopher Woolley said one of her parents, Dilshad Hamid or Katherine Howells, caused her death.
"This person, I find, was the person who picked Sunaria up on 30 December in the living room, shook her and inflicted head trauma on her," he added.
"One individual did the unlawful act, it's not possible on the evidence to determine if this person was Mr Hamid or Ms Howells, but it can only have been one of them."
He said the seriousness of Sunaria's injures would have been instantly obvious to the person who inflicted them upon her.
Earlier in the hearing, Sunaria's uncle urged the couple to admit who was responsible for her death.
Michael Howells said: "She was a beautiful little baby - the evidence suggests that either Katherine or Dilshad caused the injury that led to her death.
"One of you caused her death. Please, before we leave this court, my question is who caused her injuries - somebody is responsible for this."
A post-mortem examination showed a brain injury occurred "around the time of collapse and likely to have been present for no more than 48 to 72 hours before death".
Mr Woolley revealed at Wednesday's hearing that South Wales Police had referred her death to the CPS, but the conclusion was there was no realistic prospect of conviction.
He said: "I was satisfied that there may be new information suggesting not only that a homicide may have taken place but that there may have been someone responsible for that homicide."
In bad-tempered exchanges during the hearing, Sunaria's father questioned Ms Howells about the events of 30 December 2012.
In response, she said Sunaria was "absolutely fine" when she put her in a basket before she heard her daughter make a "horrible, vile" noise "fluctuating in pitch as though as child was being shaken".
Denying any involvement in causing her injuries, Ms Howells said: "I wouldn't hurt my baby - I loved that little girl."
Mr Hamid called this a lie. He said Sunaria suffered a fit while he was bottle feeding her and did not make this noise.
When asked by Mr Woolley if he had ever hurt, dropped, shaken or hit his daughter, Mr Hamid said: "Of course not."
He also said he had no idea how Sunaria suffered a fractured leg which doctors believed was caused by a twisting motion.
Finishing his own evidence, he said: "I want to know what's going on, I want to know the truth. I've done nothing wrong with my baby apart from loving her, she was everything to me."
The inquest heard Ms Howells ran to a neighbour saying "there's something wrong with my baby". They called 999 and did chest compressions until paramedics arrived.
Sunaria was taken to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, near Llantrisant, where doctors discovered bruising and brown marks on her cheeks.
A CT scan showed a skull fracture and bleeding to the brain. She was transferred to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales where she died the next day.
Doctors found the parents' explanation about previous falls "inadequate" to account for her severe head injury, bruising to her cheeks and marks on her arms.
Sunaria died as a result of brain swelling and a subdural haemorrhage.
Mr Woolley said: "It's clear to me neither [parent] has told the full truth about the injuries to Sunaria, I find the injuries were caused non-accidentally on 30 December 2012."
World champions Sweden lost to Great Britain in Wednesday's semi-finals and by beating China avoided finishing fourth for a second successive Games.
China, were in a commanding position in the ninth end, but errors cost them a first-ever men's Olympic curling medal.
The British men will contest for Olympic gold with Canada at 13:30 GMT.
China led 4-3 heading into the last regulation end - the tenth - but would have been in a more dominant position but for a surprise error from their skip Rui Liu
He failed to release his first stone before it passed the hog line meaning it was 'burnt' and annulled - and thus the advantage was handed back to Sweden.
Lui's team-mate Xiaoming Xu bafflingly repeated that mistake in the crucial sudden-death 11th end.
With Swedish skip Niklas Edin placing his final two stones to perfection it gave his nation their first men's Olympic curling medal since the sport debuted at the 1924 Chamonix Games.
The archive contains many never-before-seen items, including affectionate letters between the Gone With The Wind star and her husband, Laurence Olivier.
It also features diaries, photographs, annotated film and theatre scripts and her numerous awards.
A changing selection of material from the archive will be on display from this autumn.
The archive was acquired by the V&A from Leigh's grandchildren.
It covers all aspects of her life and career, detailed in diaries which the star started writing when she was 16 years old in 1929 and kept until her death in 1967.
"It really explores the life of one of Great Britain's most celebrated performers," curator Keith Lodwick told the BBC.
"The archive has never been publicly available before so we're discovering nuggets of information about Vivien Leigh that haven't been documented before and have given a fresh insight to her life."
The actress meticulously catalogued more than 7,500 personal letters from friends and colleagues, addressed to both her and Olivier, including missives from TS Eliot, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill and the Queen Mother.
Another letter from playwright Tennessee Williams, written in 1950, praised Leigh for her Oscar-winning role in the film version of his play A Streetcar Named Desire.
"It is needless to repeat here my truly huge happiness over the picture and particularly your part in it. It is the Blanche I had always dreamed of and I am grateful to you for bringing it so beautifully to life on the screen," he wrote.
Also on display will be the visitors' book for Leigh and Olivier's Notley Abbey home in Buckinghamshire.
Among the signatories were Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Orson Welles, Judy Garland and Rex Harrison.
"It's an extraordinary who's who of mid-century theatre and film," Mr Lodwick said. "Imagine to have been a fly on the wall for those parties."
"There are also really beautiful backstage photographs that have never been published before, as well as photographs taken by Leigh herself when she was on touring North America with Duel of Angels.
"She photographed herself on location and with friends at dinner - and they're all in colour which is quite rare."
The V&A will make the archive available for research once cataloguing has been completed. Digital records will also be available on its website.
It follows Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb's decision to put his plans for further devolution on hold.
Mr Jones said the Welsh government's plan would cut the list of powers to be kept by Westminster and set up a separate legal system for Wales.
The Wales Office said Labour previously ruled out a legal jurisdiction.
Policing and the criminal justice system would be devolved after 2026 under the Welsh government's proposals, as recommended by the Silk Commission on devolution.
"Whilst it was the right decision for the UK government to pause and reflect on their proposed Wales Bill, we are still deeply concerned at the lack of consultation and involvement in the process," Mr Jones said.
He said in the "the spirit of constructive collaboration and co-operation" the Welsh government had published "a comprehensive made-in-Wales alternative bill which addresses" concerns about the original draft.
Mr Jones said at a press conference on Monday that his draft Government and Laws in Wales bill "is not intended to be the last word" on the issue.
The changes in the proposed bill include:
Mr Jones said the latter changes would "have the potential to avoid years of further constitutional wrangling by setting down in law a road map".
Mr Crabb announced a range of changes to the bill last week, including reducing the number of powers set to be reserved to Westminster in the legislation.
A spokesman for the Welsh Secretary said the already announced changes "will command broad support".
He said: "As part of the St David's Day process, Welsh Labour specifically ruled out devolving policing and creating a separate legal jurisdiction.
"The fact is the Labour Party is split from top to bottom when it comes to devolution. This alternative Wales Bill is clearly a concession to Plaid Cymru ahead of the Assembly elections in which Labour is expected to lose seats."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "Where have Labour been until now?"
"Wales could be in a much stronger position if the Welsh government had not dragged its heels," she said.
Kirsty Williams, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, said: "Once again we see the Labour party running scared from income tax powers.
"We all know that many in the Labour party are against Wales benefiting from these powers. Now, it seems Labour is trying to refuse powers already on offer to Wales."
The final Wales Bill will only become law when it is passed by parliament.
This is Carwyn Jones's attempt to regain control of the next stage of devolution.
Arguably, the UK government has been in the driving seat since 2010 when the Tory-Lib Dem coalition promised to review Wales' devolution settlement.
And while Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb prepares to go back to Whitehall and re-draft the legislation, Mr Jones has jumped in to seize the initiative by offering the Welsh government's own solution.
The alternative bill calls for a more explicit division of powers, handing more responsibility to Cardiff. Mr Jones is pushing at an open door there.
But it will be a lot more difficult for him to win the argument that Wales needs its own legal jurisdiction.
The B-listed Lowood Bridge near Melrose will be closed on 2 and 3 June between 09:30 and 16:00.
Scottish Borders Council said it would allow a large mobile platform to access all areas of the bridge.
It said it recognised it was a "well-used route" and had kept the bridge open during busier commuter times.
Councillor Gordon Edgar said: "It is important the council can fully inspect the bridge to discover its current condition.
"From that, the council can make an informed decision on whether remedial work is needed."
It was the second time he had taken the oath after his formal inauguration was delayed by the reluctance of his predecessor to leave office.
"This is a victory for democracy," he told a full stadium of his countrymen near the capital Banjul.
"Few people would have thought that I'd be standing here today," he said.
He told the crowd that Gambian people now had the power to control their own destiny and that he was going to free political prisoners and improve press freedom.
"For 22 years, the Gambian people yearned to live in a country where our diverse tribes will be bridged by tolerance and our determination to work together for the common good," he said. "One Gambia, one nation, one people."
Mr Barrow, 51, talked of pressing economic challenges left over from the rule of his predecessor, Yahya Jammeh.
"We have inherited an economy in decline," the new president said, and promised to attract investment in the technology sector, introduce free primary education and strengthen the judiciary.
"Gambia has changed forever. The people are fully conscious that they can put a government in office as well as remove it."
The president's first swearing-in was at a low-key event at the country's embassy in Senegal last month, after the lengthy power struggle forced him into exile.
Crowds on Saturday had queued through the night to get a good spot inside the Independence Stadium.
Brass bands began playing ahead of the event and flags waved.
Mr Barrow is only the third president in the history of The Gambia, and the celebrations also mark 52 years of the west African country's independence.
Mr Jammeh was voted out in December but he only agreed to step aside when regional powers sent in troops ready to remove him by force.
He has since fled to Equatorial Guinea.
The Gambia is now set to rejoin international institutions such as the International Criminal Court and the Commonwealth.
Mr Barrow, a successful property developer who has never held public office, defied the odds by winning the election.
Speaking to the BBC just before the election, he said that Gambians "had been suffering for 22 years" and were ready for change.
His predecessor had once told the BBC he would rule for a billion years, if necessary.
Undeterred by the Boaty McBoatface saga, Oldham Council asked the public to come up with a name for the vehicle.
The winning entry - a play on the name of Nicole Scherzinger - was coined by 10-year-old Eve McGrath, who is a fan of the X Factor judge.
There were more than 5,000 entries including Gritney Spears, Usain Salt, Gritty McGritface and Gritter Garbo.
However, council officials decided to choose the winner themselves rather than the most popular as "there were quite a few rude ones".
Other suggestions included the wordy Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney as well as True Grit, Spready Mercury and Grit Expectations.
But Nicole Saltslinger came out on top, beating other gems such as Gritney Houston and Spready Eddie.
Councillor Fida Hussain, cabinet member for environment services, said: "Firstly we'd like to thank Eve for coming up with such a great name.
"We're delighted with how well the competition took off.
"It captured the imagination of Oldham residents and the whole nation.
"It was intended as a bit of fun and we even treated the silly suggestions with a pinch of salt."
He added: "Our gritters obviously play a vital role in that and so it's nice that we can have a bit of fun by running competitions like this whilst teaching young people about road safety."
Oldham Council's competition - which was meant to be restricted to children - comes after the National Environment Research Council asked the public to come up with and vote for the name of the UK's new polar research ship.
Despite being the overwhelming winner in the poll, Boaty McBoatface was deemed inappropriate and the ship was named Sir David Attenborough.
Inmarsat of London has confirmed that the roll-out of its new Global Xpress satellite network is on hold while Russia probes the latest failure of a Proton rocket.
Six Protons and their payloads have now been lost in the past five years.
Inmarsat's third GX satellite was due to be the next customer in line, but this flight has now been postponed.
The company says it will wait until it hears the results of a Failure Review Oversight Board before making any decisions on what to do.
Rupert Pearce, Inmarsat's CEO, commented: "This incident involving a failed Proton launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is extremely unfortunate and will inevitably delay our launch plans for our third Global Xpress satellite.
"This is the third time our Global Xpress programme has suffered launch delays because of Proton launch failures.
"Although in the past, Proton has returned to flight within a few months of a launch failure, it will not be possible to determine the length of the delay in the launch of I-5 F3 until the cause of the [latest] launch failure is established."
Inmarsat is the world's largest mobile satellite services operator.
Its GX network, which requires a minimum of three satellites in orbit to provide global coverage, is costing more than $1.6bn (£1bn) to build and launch, and should enhance communications for ships, planes, the armed forces and broadcasting companies.
Two I-5 spacecraft were launched successfully on Protons - in December 2013 and February 2015. The third spacecraft was waiting in Baiknour, poised to ride its Proton to orbit next month.
Fortunately for Inmarsat, it is able to make use of the pair already in space, and, indeed, in recent weeks, broadcasters in particular have been doing just that. They have been beaming news reports from the Nepal earthquakes through the I-5 F1 that is positioned over Europe and Asia.
Inmarsat has exercised an option for a fourth I-5 satellite from manufacturer Boeing. This is intended as a spare but will likely be used where the market for GX services is strongest - assuming the first three satellites are also all in orbit and working.
"We are reassured that I-5 F4 is currently under construction by Boeing in California, and remains on schedule for completion in mid-2016, with a potential SpaceX launch in the second half of 2016, providing us with significant mission assurance in the case of any protracted delays in Proton's return to flight, or a failed launch of I-5 F3," said Mr Pearce.
Given the size of the I-5s, at over six tonnes, one of SpaceX's forthcoming Falcon-Heavy vehicles would most probably be needed to loft the Inmarsat platform. The American rocket company is due to test this vehicle later this year.
The Proton Breeze M rocket that failed on Saturday was carrying the Mexsat 1, or Centenario, satellite, intended to provide communications services over Central America.
Preliminary flight data indicated that an anomaly occurred in the rocket's third stage approximately 490 seconds after lift-off, at an altitude of about 160km.
The rocket and its satellite passenger are thought to have burnt up on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

Five weeks ago the elusive Bristolian led other artists in filling a derelict lido at Weston-super-Mare with thought-provoking art and installations.
Tourism bosses said the dark attraction brought more than 150,000 paying visitors and £20m to the seaside town.
Once dismantled, all the fixtures will be sent to the Calais refugee camp "to build shelters", its website says.
Among the exhibits were a dilapidated fairy castle, a distorted mermaid and a pond of migrant-filled boats.
Banksy previously said many of the works required "audience participation".
"A dead princess is only complete when surrounded by gawping crowds with their cameras out, or the opportunity to photograph yourself pulling an amazed expression when a killer whale leaps from a toilet," he added.
"I guess you'd say it's a theme park whose big theme is 'theme parks should have bigger themes'."
Artist friends went and reported feeling incredibly moved by some of what they'd seen - they came back feeling that it was time for their own art to get political.
I thought the work on show by Banksy and other artists was both reflective of some of the worst socio-political atrocities we are living through, and audacious in its message and production.
Banksy is the street art king of meaning.
I'm not sure whether street art will be welcomed in Weston-super-Mare the way it is in Bristol, but it sure has contributed massively to that town's cultural and retail economy.
I hope Dismaland inspired local young people politically, socially and artistically.
On Friday, controversial Russian punk band Pussy Riot joined De La Soul and surprise guest Damon Albarn for a live evening event, a Masked Ball.
The final viewings took place at 11:00, 14:00 and 19:00 BST.
More than 50 international artists were involved at the site chosen by Banksy after the artist walked past the old lido six months ago.
The Tropicana outdoor pool and leisure facility closed in 2000 because of falling visitor numbers and had been left abandoned since.
But North Somerset Council said it had already lined up other events for the site.
"We have three or four arts-based events lined up already to take place in the building after the Dismaland show has been dismantled and more in the planning stages," said a spokeswoman.
"This will allow us time to discuss with the market the longer-term arrangements for the building which Dismaland has demonstrated has potential as a space for arts and performance."
An explosives-laden pick-up truck exploded shortly before midnight (21:00 GMT) in the predominantly Shia Muslim commercial district of Karrada.
Twenty people were also injured by the blast, which set several shops on fire.
The blast was not far from the site of a lorry bombing in July that left more than 300 people dead.
An IS statement said the Sunni jihadist group had targeted a gathering of Shia civilians on Monday and boasted how it had managed to carry out the attack despite heightened security in the area.
The streets of Karrada are lined with shops and restaurants, and they are usually packed ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, which starts next week.
The area bombed in July, which was targeted as Muslims prepared for the other major festival of Eid al-Fitr, had only recently been reopened by the Iraqi authorities.
In a separate development on Tuesday, the UN World Food Programme said it had delivered food to more than 30,000 residents of Qayyarah for the first time in two years, after Iraqi government forces ousted IS militants from the northern town.
The WFP's country director, Sally Haydock, told AFP news agency that Qayyarah was "in a dire state" and that locals were "suffering extreme hunger".
Safe drinking water, electricity and medical services were almost impossible to access, and black smoke was also rising from nearby oilfields that were set alight by militants as they withdrew from the town two weeks ago, Ms Haydock said.
The Qayyarah operation was part of a wider offensive by government forces aiming to retake the second city of Mosul, 60km (35 miles) away, which IS militants overran in 2014.
The UN Refugee Agency warned last month that 1.2 million people could be displaced by the assault on Mosul.
The NSPCC's round-the-clock service said it had handled 660 counselling sessions since the Paris attacks in November last year.
Counsellors at Scotland's two Childline bases in Aberdeen and Glasgow handled 111 of the calls from across the UK.
Many callers said they feared the outbreak of war or the prospect of a terror attack hurting their families.
Across the UK, one in five of the contacts to the free, anonymous service, were from young people aged 11 or younger.
The two Welsh Childline bases in Cardiff and Prestatyn received 71 calls from anxious youngsters.
The Paris attacks on November 13, 2015, and the atrocities in Brussels, Orlando, Nice, and Munich this year all triggered a higher volume of calls - with girls twice as likely as boys to contact the service - according to the charity.
Matt Forde, national head of services for NSPCC Scotland, said: "The past 12 months have been stained by these bloody events and it is little wonder that young people are so frightened about terrorism.
"Sadly we now live in a world where the months are punctuated by these attacks, so it is vital that we do not brush young peoples' fears aside.
"Instead, we must listen to their worries and reassure them that there are people doing everything they can to keep us all safe."
The charity said youngsters aged 12 to 15 were the most likely to speak to counsellors.
The NSPCC's helpline service helps parents by advising them on how to talk to children about terrorism.
The show, based on the novels by Winston Graham and starring Aidan Turner, will see its second series aired on BBC One this autumn.
Set in the 18th Century, the drama follows the life and loves of dashing Cornish mine owner Ross Poldark.
The third series, based on the fifth and sixth books of Graham's collection, will begin filming later this year.
The show has made a heart-throb of Turner, who previously starred in BBC Two series Being Human and in The Hobbit trilogy on the big screen.
The first series of Poldark was a hit for the BBC when it was broadcast on Sunday nights last year.
Its ratings peaked at 9.4 million viewers across TV and iPlayer, and its accolades included the audience award at the TV Baftas.
The series finale in April drew in 5.9 million TV viewers and was praised by critics, including the Telegraph's Allison Pearson who called it "devastatingly good".
The show's production company Mammoth Screen said the series was a "passion project" for all those involved.
"It's with real excitement that we prepare for both the launch of series two and our return to Cornwall to shoot series three," managing director Damien Turner said.
"Winston Graham and [scriptwriter] Debbie Horsfield's extraordinary flair for storytelling means the saga of Ross, his friends and enemies will go to even more thrilling places."
The 10-episode second series will be set in 1794 and see Ross and his wife Demelza, played by Eleanor Tomlinson, return in a story set against the backdrop of the French Revolution.
New characters will also be introduced into the saga, including Midsomer Murders star John Nettles as Ray Penvenen, one the country's richest landowners, and Endless Love actress Gabriella Wilde, playing his niece Caroline Penvenen.

The officer sustained "multiple serious injuries" after responding to reports of a domestic incident in Sheffield on Wednesday night.
Ch Supt David Hartley said the officer, along with a colleague, faced "an immediate and aggressive attack".
He praised the bravery of other officers who responded to the incident.
Ch Supt Hartley, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "The man was armed with an axe, and that was used as part of the assault.
"The female officer sustained some really quite horrific injuries."
He said the man then went out to the road, putting members of the public at risk.
"I'm incredibly proud of the response from my colleagues - all officers responded to this," he said.
"They showed incredible bravery putting themselves between the public and the man, and very quickly brought him into custody."
He said the officer who was attacked was "lucky to be alive" and is appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the assault to get in touch.
The officer remains in hospital and is expected to undergo surgery later.
Neighbour Simon Ellis, 46, who went to help the officer, said she told him she feared the attacker would kill her.
Mr Ellis said he had noticed two officers running up the stairwell in his block of flats and then a female resident emerged.
"She said [her boyfriend had] lost his mind, the aliens were chasing him and he was trying to kill the police officers that I'd just seen running up the stairs," he said.
"As she did so, the lady police officer came half-staggering, half-falling out of the stairwell pursued by this big bloke, this bodybuilder, with an axe.
"It was a frenzied attack, chopping at her with the axe."
Witnesses said the female officer was injured inside a maisonette before a man fled to the Co-op and started throwing stock at staff and customers.
Police said three other officers were injured as they arrested a man, in his 30s, inside the Co-op store, in Blackstock Road.
In the present environment, it is a somewhat forlorn hope.
Tonight, at an entrepreneurs event in Davos, the Duke made his first public comments following the sex allegations made by Virginia Roberts in court papers lodged in Florida.
Before he spoke about the work he does with start-ups, he made an attempt to deal with the allegations which have dominated the headlines since before Christmas.
"I firstly think I must and want, for the record, to refer to events of the last few week," he said.
"And I wish to reiterate and reaffirm the statements that have been issued on my behalf by Buckingham Palace."
Those are the categorical denials which said that he had "never had any form of sexual contact or relationship with her".
"My focus is on my work and this evening allows me to tell you about the initiatives I'm passionate about," he continued.
I was asked a number of weeks ago by the Palace to introduce the entrepreneurs at the event at which the Duke spoke tonight.
And I was given the opportunity to spend some private time with him directly after the event.
My impression is that the Duke is resolute that at this stage he will go no further on any details about his relationship with Virginia Roberts, whom he has been photographed with.
You can ask him any way you want about the allegations made and he will simply repeat the denials Buckingham Palace has put out.
He has nothing further to add.
Not for him the approach of Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard lawyer, who was also named in the Florida court papers and has said he will not rest until he has proved that Ms Roberts claims were false.
Ms Roberts responded by saying that she would not be "bullied back into silence".
The Duke believes that he had to be seen to say something, hence the two sentences tonight.
Some advised against it, with Sir Menzies Campbell for example saying he should not go to Davos at all.
The Duke wholly disagreed.
The event tonight was always going to be public - in contrast to some of his previous events at Davos - and the team around him decided not to change tack when the sex allegations were made public.
Given that it was in front of a business audience, it was judged ideal as a venue to briefly mention the allegations and move on.
The Duke certainly regrets that he was so closely involved with Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex offences in the US, and is alleged to have introduced Ms Roberts to the Duke.
But the Duke argues that his role as official government trade envoy, which was brought to an end in 2011, was not directly linked to the controversy at the time over his relationship with Epstein.
It was already planned that his role would become more informal. Any changes in role for the Royal Household take a long time to put in place.
The Duke sees himself as someone who can engage political leaders and business leaders.
And sometimes they are controversial.
He makes no apology for that and believes that his rather more semi-official role is still of great use to the UK.
The Duke also feels he can bring together leading chief executives and smaller businesses to discuss financing and to build networks.
Judging by last night - there were a myriad of chief executives in the audience including Marc Bolland of Marks and Spencer and Iain Conn of Centrica - he can do that with some success.
Amid all the controversy, it's probably worth remembering the three entrepreneurs who pitched their ideas at the event tonight - Jonny Macneal of Insignia Technologies, Paul Brewster of Pure Marine Gen and Joachim Horn of Sam Labs.
You may well be hearing a lot more about them in the future.

The Czech Republic goalkeeper, who played more than 400 club games in 11 seasons at Stamford Bridge, has joined the Gunners on a four-year contract.
Cech, 33, made only seven league appearances last season after losing his place to Belgian Thibaut Courtois.
In a letter to Chelsea fans, Cech said he thought he would retire at Stamford Bridge, but added: "Life doesn't always turn out the way you think it will."
He wrote: "Last summer, things changed and I understood I was no longer the first-choice keeper, but I felt it was not the right time for me to go.
"During the season, it became clear that my situation would not improve and - as I know I am not at the stage of my career where I want to be on the bench - I made my decision to move and look for new challenges."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Petr Cech is a player I have admired for a long time and I am very pleased he has decided to join us."
Cech, brought to Stamford Bridge from French club Rennes in July 2004, won 13 trophies with Chelsea - including one Champions League and four Premier League titles.
He also set a club goalkeeping record of 228 clean sheets in all competitions, beating the previous highest total of 208, set by former England international Peter Bonetti between 1960 and 1979.
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey responded to Cech's arrival by posting on Twitter: "Wow, what a signing. One of the best Premier League keepers ever."
Gunners forward Theo Walcott tweeted that he scored his first Arsenal goal against Cech - in the 2007 League Cup final - to which his new team-mate replied: "Happy it won't happen again."
And Arsenal's current number one Wojciech Szczesny, said: "Delighted to have a chance to learn from one of the best GK's in the world."
Cech, Arsenal's first signing of the summer, could face Chelsea as early as 2 August, when the two sides meet in the Community Shield at Wembley.
The London Sleep Centre team says studies show alcohol upsets our normal sleep cycles.
While it cuts the time it takes to first nod off and sends us into a deep sleep, it also robs us of one of our most satisfying types of sleep, where dreams occur.
Used too often, it can cause insomnia.
Many advocate a nightcap - nursing homes and hospital wards have even been known to serve alcohol - but Dr Irshaad Ebrahim and his team advise against it.
Dr Ebrahim, medical director at the London Sleep Centre and co-author of the latest review, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, said: "We should be very cautious about drinking on a regular basis.
"One or two glasses might be nice in the short term, but if you continue to use a tipple before bedtime it can cause significant problems.
"If you do have a drink, it's best to leave an hour and a half to two hours before going to bed so the alcohol is already wearing off."
He said people could become dependent on alcohol for sleep.
And it could make sleep less restful and turn people into snorers.
"With increasing doses, alcohol suppresses our breathing. It can turn non-snorers into snorers and snorers into people with sleep apnoea - where the breathing's interrupted."
From the hundred or more studies that Dr Ebrahim's team looked at, they analysed 20 in detail and found alcohol appeared to change sleep in three ways.
Firstly, it accelerates sleep onset, meaning we drop off faster.
Next, it sends us into a very deep sleep.
These two changes - which are identical to those seen in people who take antidepressant medication - may be appealing and may explain why some people with insomnia use alcohol.
But the third change - fragmented sleep patterns the second half of the night - is less pleasant.
Alcohol reduces how much time we spend in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep - the stage of sleep where dreams generally occur.
As a consequence, the sleep may feel less restful, said Dr Ebrahim.
Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said: "Alcohol on the whole is not useful for improving a whole night's sleep. Sleep may be deeper to start with, but then becomes disrupted. Additionally, that deeper sleep will probably promote snoring and poorer breathing. So, one shouldn't expect better sleep with alcohol."
The Sleep Council said: "Don't over-indulge. Too much food or alcohol, especially late at night, just before bedtime, can play havoc with sleep patterns.
"Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, but will interrupt your sleep later on in the night. Plus you may wake dehydrated and needing the loo."
The 28-year-old has nine caps for his country, appearing in the 2015 World Cup and as a replacement at Twickenham against England in November.
Tight-head Alec Clarey, 23, will join from Bristol, with Jordan Brodley, 23, and Roy Godfrey, 27, also signing.
Meanwhile, fellow prop Jake Armstrong has signed a new deal after initially joining Jersey last summer.
South Africa-born loose-head Godfrey has played for French side Perpignan, while Brodley has represented a number of lower league sides while completing his studies in Bristol.
"Jersey has become known for having a strong pack, and although we've developed more of an all-court game this season, our forwards still play a vital role in what we do," said head coach Harvey Biljon.
"There is a great mix of experience in Roy and Lee Roy, and younger players like Alec and Jordan with genuine potential."

Migration experts say the numbers arriving on the islands have surged recently to as many as 7,000 a day, trying to reach Europe before the weather worsens.
The biggest numbers arriving in Greece are from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan and some of the new arrivals on the island of Lesbos told BBC News their stories.
Ali came from Najaf with his wife and son, fleeing the advance of Islamic State (IS) militants and the breakdown of services such as basic drinking water. "I'm not thinking about me," he says, "it's about the future for my son."
Sara came to Lesbos with her two sons from the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, because life there was becoming impossible and she was unable to find the medicines she needed.
"It's like we went back 200 years", she says.
Her husband is still in Syria.
Ali fled Kunduz when the Taliban recently took control of the city, travelling via Iran to Turkey.
He has no idea of his eventual destination but says if he can find eke out a living somewhere in Europe, that is where he will stay.
Ahmed says a combination of violence in Mogadishu and a lack of work and education opportunities prompted him to leave.
Having already completed a long journey overland to Turkey, he says his ultimate destination is Germany.
The boat in which Ali arrived had to be rescued by the Greek authorities.
He says he left his home in north-west Pakistan, crossing Iran on his way to Turkey because the Taliban wanted him to join their jihad.

A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
In an angry tweet, Mr Assange said he had been detained for seven years "without charge" while his children grew up and his "name was slandered".
Sweden said on Friday it had decided to drop the rape investigation.
Meanwhile Ecuador urged the UK to allow him safe passage out of the country.
Mr Assange, 45, has chosen to remain in the embassy as he fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US, where he is wanted over the leaking of hundreds of thousands of secret military and diplomatic documents.
However, police in London said they would still be obliged to arrest him if he left the Ecuadorean embassy, despite the Swedish prosecutors' decision.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) said Mr Assange still faced the lesser charge of failing to surrender to a court, an offence punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine.
But the UK has not commented on whether it has received an extradition request from the US, where Mr Assange could, potentially, face trial.
Sweden's decision coincided with the release by Wikileaks of another tranche of documents about the US Central Intelligence Agency's technical capabilities.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Correra says previous leaks, of what look like highly sensitive secret documents, have been damaging to the agency.
Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer, Per Samuelson, said the prosecutor's decision on Friday represented "a total victory" for his client.
But the Wikileaks founder tweeted: "Detained for 7 years without charge... while my children grew up and my name was slandered. I do not forgive or forget."
The plaintiff in the rape case was "shocked" by the decision, her lawyer said, and maintained her accusations against Mr Assange, Agence France-Presse reported.
Foreign Minister Guillaume Long said that the UK should now grant Mr Assange safe passage, as the European arrest warrant against him "no longer holds".
"Ecuador welcomes the decision to drop the charges," Mr Long added, quoted by AFP, while criticising the time it took Sweden to send an investigator to London to interview Mr Assange.
"Ecuador regrets that it took Swedish prosecutor more than four years to carry out this interview. This was a wholly unnecessary delay."
Earlier a source at the ministry told the Press Association that Ecuador had "fully co-operated with the Swedish justice system".
The source added that Ecuador would now intensify its diplomatic efforts with the UK so that Julian Assange could "enjoy his asylum in Ecuador".
At a press briefing on Friday, Sweden's top prosecutor Marianne Ny said that by remaining in the embassy in London Mr Assange had evaded the exercise of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) that would have seen him extradited to Sweden.
She said that under Swedish law a criminal investigation needed to be conducted "as quickly as possible".
Sweden did not expect Ecuador's co-operation in formally notifying Mr Assange of the allegations against him, a necessary step in proceeding with the case, she added.
But she said: "If he were to return to Sweden before the statute of limitation on this case expires in August 2020, the preliminary investigation could be resumed."
She said it was "regrettable we have not been able to carry out the investigation", and added: "We are not making any pronouncement about guilt."
The rape allegation followed a Wikileaks conference in Stockholm in 2010. Mr Assange always denied the allegations against him, saying sex was consensual.
He also said the case was politically motivated, as it followed massive Wikileaks dumps of secret US military reports that year.
Later that year he was arrested in London after Sweden issued an international arrest warrant against him.
He spent the following months under house arrest in a small rural town in England.
Then, in June 2012, after exhausting legal avenues to prevent his extradition, Mr Assange sought refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy, where he remains to this day.
After the news was announced on Friday, Wikileaks tweeted that the "focus now moves to the UK", but Mr Assange's fate still seems unclear.
The MPS issued a statement saying that its actions had been based on a response to a "European Arrest Warrant for an extremely serious offence".
It went on: "Now that the situation has changed and the Swedish authorities have discontinued their investigation into that matter, Mr Assange remains wanted for a much less serious offence. The MPS will provide a level of resourcing which is proportionate to that offence."
The MPS said it would "not comment further on the operational plan".
Last month, Mr Samuelson filed a new motion calling for his client's arrest warrant to be lifted.
He cited a comment by new US Attorney General Jeff Sessions that the arrest of Mr Assange would be "a priority".
Mr Samuelson told Agence France-Presse: "This implies that we can now demonstrate that the US has a will to take action... this is why we ask for the arrest warrant to be cancelled."
The six-wheeled robots from Starship Technologies will be used to collect parcels rather than deliver them.
The project follows a pilot scheme in Germany in which the robots delivered parcels to several suburbs in the city of Hamburg.
But one expert suggested there might be a backlash if the facility became commonplace.
"At the moment, in big cities, it can be hard to walk down the street because of the number of people," commented Prof Andy Miah, from the University of Salford's School of Environment and Life Sciences.
"In time, it could be the robots we are trying to dodge. I'm not sure that would be a better world."
Starship Technologies' machines are already used by Just Eat for food deliveries in parts of London.
They are 55cm (22in) tall and 70cm (28in) long.
They weigh 18kg (40lb), and can travel at up to 4mph (6.4km/h).
Hermes is only using the robots within a two-mile radius of its control centres, in a limited number of 30-minute collection slots to see how they cope with tight turnarounds.
Each robot will be able to carry a maximum of 10kg in cargo in a secure compartment, which customers can access using a code sent to their smartphones.
The self-driving robots are thought to have several advantages over aerial drones, from being able to carry heavier payloads to being less likely to fall foul of aviation laws.
"In the sky, we still have to figure out what a drone highway would look like and figure out some sophisticated collision-avoidance technology," noted Prof Miah.
By contrast, Starship's ground-based robots will be kept under close supervision by human operators.
Each supervisor will watch over three robots via their on-board cameras and take control of road-crossings and other challenging situations.
In time, however, Starship says one operator should be able to control up to 100 robots, which would make its operation more cost effective.
The 50-year-old victim was attacked in Jamaica Street at 22:40 on 7 February.
One suspect is described as white, aged 40 to 50 years old, of slim build and bald. He was wearing a blue shirt, a light blazer and dark trousers.
The other was white, aged 40 to 50, of heavy build, with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark overcoat over a dark shirt, dark trousers and brown shoes
Det Con Gordon Walker, of Police Scotland, said: "An unprovoked assault like this on a busy Saturday night in the city centre cannot be tolerated and we seek the assistance of the public in tracking down those responsible.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact police."

Superb death bowling after a rain break kept Pakistan to 260-6, despite 82 from Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed's 55.
Jason Roy made 65 and Joe Root 61 in a second-wicket stand of 89 before the weather intervened to reduce England's target to 252 from 48 overs.
Three balls after the restart, on 34.3 overs, more rain ended the match with England well ahead on the DLS method.
After a fluctuating, evenly contested Test series was drawn 2-2, this comfortable victory gives England a 10-8 lead in the 'Super Series', where points awarded for results across all three formats.
Not only does it give the hosts a ninth victory in 10 one-dayers against Pakistan, it also ends a run of five ODI defeats in Southampton.
The next game in the five-match series is at Lord's on Saturday.
For all of England's dominance, they were aided by two bits of fortune.
The first came when Babar Azam, who made 40, was given out lbw off Adil Rashid despite getting an inside edge, with Pakistan's review already used by Sharjeel Khan after a blatant nick behind off Mark Wood.
Second was a rain break that arrived in the 43rd over, stalling Pakistan's momentum.
Before that Sarfraz added 65 with Azhar, who was dropped twice on nine - a simple chance to Alex Hales at gully and a very difficult tickle down the leg side to diving wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
Sarfraz's partnership of 46 with Shoaib Malik was interrupted by the weather, with Shoaib caught at mid-off from the bowling of Liam Plunkett in the over after the restart.
From there the pacy Wood, impressing in his first international since October because of ankle surgery, the increasingly dependable Chris Woakes and Plunkett, who improved after a poor start, restricted Pakistan to only 40 runs in the last seven overs.
On a perfect batting surface, Pakistan's total never looked like being enough and the decision to omit leg-spinner Yasir Shah left an attack short on ideas.
Roy, who needed treatment for what seemed to be a spell of dizziness, scored with typical freedom, playing some extraordinary straight-batted drives through the leg side and one sweep for six off the spin of Imad Wasim.
After Hales guided Umar Gul to slip, some excellent running was a feature of Roy's stand with Root, who swept and drove his way to a 23rd score of 50 or more in ODIs, coming at a rate of one every three innings.
Both feel needlessly - Roy well caught at long-off by Azam from the spin of Mohammad Nawaz and Root run out by Azhar's direct hit when called through for a short single by Eoin Morgan.
Still, England were accelerating once more through Morgan and Ben Stokes, playing as a specialist batsman on his return after a calf injury, when the rain first delayed the inevitable, then confirmed their victory.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "We talk a lot about luck in cricket, there certainly are things that are out of your control. The rain really did affect Pakistan, it might have cost them 20 or 30 runs."
Ex-England spinner Phil Tufnell: "Where's Yasir Shah? Where's the mystery bowler? Two or three of his special deliveries to new batsmen and you don't know what might have happened."
Man of the match Jason Roy: "It sets a nice benchmark but again we are looking to push on from this. I'm feeling good and trusting my training. Hopefully I can put in another performance for the guys on Saturday."
The Electoral Commission has launched a public awareness campaign to remind people of the need to be registered.
Otherwise, they will not be able to vote on 7 May.
It has made a new television advertisement to remind voters they will be turned away from polling stations unless they are registered.
The commission will also use radio, press, outdoor and digital advertising to remind the public about the 20 April deadline.
Ann Watt, the head of the Electoral Commission's Northern Ireland office, said: "There has already been a great deal of interest and debate ahead of the UK general election, with voters keen to have their say.
"However, many people do not realise that they aren't registered and how easy it is to do so.
She added: "We don't want anyone to be turned away on polling day, so if you aren't registered take action now by downloading a registration form."
Voters can use the commission's website - www.aboutmyvote.co.uk - or can call the helpline on 0800 4320 712 to become registered.
About 50 officers have been diverted to process reports of crimes filed on the internet and by email.
The force said "the significant majority were on restricted duties".
But the BBC has been told some were neighbourhood patrol officers and communities were "noticing fewer police on the beat".
More on how officers are being taken off patrol, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg said earlier this year the 101 service was currently not fit for purpose and had got worse.
Devon and Cornwall Police has since encouraged people to use email or an online form to report crimes to cut delays calling the 101 non-urgent number, which has been criticised for long delays.
In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "In response to the 101 delays, the force moved around 50 people including officers, PCSOs and other staff to assist the contact centre.
"The significant majority of these were on restricted duties therefore were unable to undertake front line duties or their usual job role.
"The team have been recording crime information, to release our call handlers to answer 101 and 999 calls.
"This is a short term position and we expect all the staff to be returned to their original roles by Christmas."
Peter O'Brien, 34, let the Merseyside thieves stay at his flat in Aberdeen while they hatched plans to blow up cash machines in the north east.
Eleven thefts and attempted thefts were reported across the north-east in 2013.
O'Brien, who will be sentenced in August, also provided the men with one of their getaway vehicles.
Crowbars were used to attack the machines before a hose was inserted, piping in a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gas.
This was then ignited, causing an explosion so they could get access to the money boxes inside the unit.
O'Brien was due to go on trial facing 24 charges at the High Court in Aberdeen instead but was acquitted of his role in the majority of the crimes after he admitted three of the offences.
Advocate depute Keith O'Mahony said he admitted two of the charges on the basis that he was "threatened" by the gang and played no part in the actual crimes.
However, he provided the men with one of their get away vehicles and also let them stay in his flat where the two attempted theft offences were planned and executed.
The court heard that one of the offences took place at a Clydesdale Bank in Stonehaven in the early hours 28 October 2013.
Mr O'Mahony said a witness was awoken by a noise from the street and saw the gang preparing to blow up the ATM.
"The males were in possession of what appeared to be a gas cylinder. They were attempting to feed pipes connected to this cylinder in to the front of the ATM," he said.
The men drove off when they realised they were being watched but later targeted a Bank of Scotland ATM in Inverurie.
As they tried to hide one their cars on waste ground near Methick they were spotted acting suspiciously and the police were contacted.
The car was examined and a bottle of acetylene gas, piping, a crow bar and sledge hammer were recovered from the vehicle.
O'Brien was apprehended a few days later near his Aberdeen home, walking towards a second car which contained wires, gloves, rolls of tape, fuses, a torch and fake registration plates.
O'Brien also admitted failing to appear for a previous hearing. He will be sentenced on 10 August.
The decision has been made by experts at Oxford City Council and the university after the large branches fell from the tree on Saturday.
Dr Alison Foster, of the Botanic Garden, said: "It's a tree like no other - it's just heart-breaking."
The tree was a favourite of JRR Tolkien during his time in Oxford.
Ms Foster said staff heard noises coming from the tree and moved visitors away from the area of the walled garden shortly before the branches fell.
She said: "A crack appeared and then in about five minutes the branches came down.
"It's really hard to say what the cause was - it's something that just happens in old trees - there are suggestions that prolonged hot, dry weather can lead to this kind of thing."
An area around the tree has been closed to the public while the tree is felled, a process which is expected to take several weeks.
The Botanic Garden said the tree was thought to have been planted in 1799 from a seed collected by the third Sherardian Professor of Botany, John Sibthorp, in Austria.
The garden said it intended to propagate from the black pine.
Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings while living and working in Oxford.
About 6,000 youngsters took part in the Mini and Junior Great North Run, with a Great North 5k (3.1 miles) also staged.
Elite athletes were in attendance for the Great North City Games, although long jump world champion Greg Rutherford withdrew through injury.
A crowd of 25,000 was expected by organisers.
Taking part in the Great North City Games was 200m world champion Dafne Schippers, who raced to victory on a 100m track constructed on the banks of the Tyne.
Rutherford and 5,000m and 10,000m world champion Mo Farah took part in a penalty shoot-out at a launch event at Newcastle United's St James's Park stadium on Friday.
The Great North Run half marathon will be staged on Sunday with more than 50,000 people taking on the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle to South Shields.
It will be the 35th staging of the event, which began as a fun run in 1981.
Farah is aiming for his second consecutive victory in the men's elite race, which gets under way at 10:40 BST.
The odds were already favouring a draw after Surrey's openers had batted out the final 45 overs on the third day.
And the south London weather had the final word when the game was abandoned in mid-afternoon on Wednesday.
Middlesex, who have now drawn all five County Championship games so far, take 10 points and Surrey nine.
Both sides are back in Division One action this Sunday, when Middlesex host Somerset at Lord's and Surrey head to Manchester to take on last season's Division Two title rivals Lancashire.
The boy, who has been charged with burglary and criminal damage, went before Swansea Youth Court on Thursday.
Three cats from Ty-Nant sanctuary in Cymmer were found dead while another three were later found unharmed after a break-in on 30 July.
The boy and 18-year-old Frank Lewis will appear at Swansea Crown Court on 2 September.
An online fundraising campaign launched in the wake of the break-in raised more than £19,000 for the sanctuary.
France sent an initial 1,600 troops to the country in December 2013 after violence flared following a coup.
On Wednesday, the Guardian newspaper reported that a United Nations worker was suspended after leaking a report on abuses by French troops.
It says a UN report claimed children as young as nine were abused.
Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor's office, said an investigation had been under way since July 2014.
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.
A spokesman for France's Ministry of Defence said in a statement: "The defence ministry has taken and will take the necessary measures to allow the truth to be found.
"If the facts are proven, the strongest penalties will be imposed on those responsible for what would be an intolerable attack on soldiers' values."
The Guardian said a Swedish employee of the United Nations had been suspended after handing the internal UN 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.
But the Kiev trial was soon adjourned because protesting nationalists prevented the five being brought to court from their remand prison.
Mr Yanukovych is now expected to testify as a witness on Monday.
He fled to Russia after three months of mass protests on Kiev's Maidan Square.
More than 100 people were killed during the clashes between anti-government demonstrators and Ukrainian security forces in February 2014.
The Maidan protests began when Mr Yanukovych first announced he was suspending a planned trade deal with the EU, under pressure from Russia.
Ukraine country profile
Yanukovych regrets Ukraine bloodshed
Ukrainian prosecutors allege that the Berkut riot police opened fire on the orders of a Kiev police commander - former Ukrainian Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko. He also fled to Russia during the unrest.
The five Berkut officers have been charged over the deaths of 48 Maidan activists. They deny the accusation.
Mr Yanukovych was backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the turmoil in Kiev the unrest spread, and Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014.
"It was my own initiative to act as a witness in this case. This is my personal decision. Therefore I am interested in the truth being established in the case," he told the Kiev court.
The products, ranging from drills to X-rays, were counterfeit copies of major brands or sub-standard with fake documentation.
Some products appeared to have official safety CE marks, but importers said it meant "Chinese export".
The regulator said that dentists could be prosecuted if they knowingly bought equipment that put patients at risk.
The items were discovered during an investigation by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which is responsible for making sure that dental equipment in the UK meets safety standards.
Among the items seized on arrival in the UK were poorly made dentist power drills and handheld X-ray machines with dangerous wiring.
Danny Lee-Frost, from the MHRA enforcement team, said there was a real risk to patients from equipment that does not meet strict European safety standards.
He said: "We don't need to stretch your imagination too far to think if you've got a high-speed drill, operating at 30,000 revs per minute in close proximity to your teeth, and the end falls off, it's going to do some pretty serious damage inside your mouth. "
Dental equipment is easy to find for sale at a low price online, including on major e-commerce sites such as eBay and Amazon. Both worked with the MHRA in the investigation.
The MHRA said it was working with retailers to make them aware that some of the equipment was being sold with fake certificates or counterfeit branding.
Some of the drills are marked with the letters CE implying they meet the European safety standards.
When challenged, some importers have said this simply stands for "Chinese export".
Sonia Tracey, from the dental manufacturer W&H UK, said dentists should realise that some of the drills being sold online were implausibly cheap.
"A dental turbine, which most people would know as a drill, was being sold online for £70.
"There is no way you can buy a good quality product at £70 - you would be looking at a £300 to £600 difference."
She points out that dental equipment has to be repeatedly sterilised to keep patients safe, and if it is not robust enough, it will fall apart.
Jade Blinco was injured by poorly maintained dental equipment, not imported tools, but it is a reminder of the importance of safety standards.
The 24-year-old, who wanted to be a model, was left with a scar after a drill broke in her mouth.
She said: "My face feels funny in winter and summer, hot and cold food, it tingles.
"I constantly worry about it - I feel it pulling and tugging even when I'm talking."
The British Dental Trade Association has launched a campaign to encourage dentists to report suspect equipment.
Danny Lee-Frost, from the MHRA, said dentists who knowingly bought equipment that doesn't meet regulations "could be struck off, they could be sued, all for saving a few pounds on stuff they use every day".
He was assaulted just before 23:00 BST at Mervue Street.
The victim suffered head injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
Police carried out searches after the attack and have appealed for anyone who witnessed a black hatchback car leaving the Tiger's Bay area or any suspicious activity to contact them.
Sea Watch Foundation researchers in Cardigan Bay have spotted four newborns in the area in the past week.
The first calf was photographed on 7 August with the fourth spotted on Wednesday.
Cardigan Bay monitoring officer Katrin Lohrengel said: "We use a technique named photo-ID to identify individual dolphins."
This process involves photographing nicks and notches on the animals' dorsal fins and comparing them to others.
Once scientists can identify the mother, they can be sure the calf by her side belongs to her.
The team is in the process of comparing photographs to see if another calf spotted near Aberystwyth harbour will take the total to five.
"We have seen four distinctly different mothers with newborn young recently so it feels like a real baby boom," said Ms Lohrengel.
The animals have all been seen off the coast of Ceredigion.
The 28-year-old, who has only made two Premier League appearances for the Black Cats this season, went to the USA for an operation on a torn cartilage.
He last featured in a 3-2 defeat by Crystal Palace on 24 September.
Manager David Moyes said midfielders Jan Kirchhoff and Jack Rodwell, and forward Fabio Borini will also miss the visit of Hull City on Saturday.

Moyes has apologised for what he said to Vicki Sparks after an interview following a draw with Burnley in March.
The Scot has also revealed that the club knew about the incident soon after it occurred.
"Such actions are not condoned or excused in any way," said Sunderland in a statement.
"The exchange between the manager and a BBC reporter was wholly unacceptable.
"David recognised this immediately, proactively bringing the matter to the attention of the CEO and apologising to the reporter.
"The club also spoke with both a senior figure at the BBC and the reporter personally, expressing its profound regret over what had occurred.
"The matter was treated with the utmost seriousness from the outset and the swift and decisive action taken by the club and the manager at the time ensured that it was resolved to the satisfaction of the reporter and the BBC, which was the priority.
"With both the BBC and the reporter agreeing that appropriate action had been taken at the time, the club continues to fully support David in his role as manager of Sunderland AFC."

In the interview in question, Moyes was asked by Sparks if the presence of owner Ellis Short had put extra pressure on him.
He said "no" but, after the interview, added Sparks "might get a slap even though you're a woman" and told her to be "careful" next time she visited.
Both Moyes and Sparks were laughing during the exchange and the former Everton and Manchester United manager later apologised to the reporter, who did not make a complaint.
The Football Association has written to Moyes to ask for his observations on the incident.
His comments have been criticised by shadow sports minister Dr Rosena Allin-Khan and Women in Football.
Domestic violence charity Women's Aid has also been critical and urged the FA to act.
Chief executive Polly Neate said: "We cannot be complacent about remarks like these from influential men.
"We urge the FA to act swiftly and take this opportunity to send out a clear and strong message to the footballing community that there is no place for sexism and misogyny in modern football."
Speaking in a news conference on Monday, Moyes said: "I deeply regret the comments I made.
"That's certainly not the person I am. I've accepted the mistake. I spoke to the BBC reporter, who accepted my apology."
The BBC confirmed that Moyes and Sparks had spoken about the exchange and the issue had been resolved.
A spokesman said: "Mr Moyes has apologised to our reporter and she has accepted his apology."
Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League on 20 points, eight points from safety, going into a game at Leicester City.
The Shanghai Shenhua club was also fined 1m yuan (£103,000) and stripped of its 2003 league victory for fixing a match on its way to the title.
In recent years, China has increased efforts to clean up its football, which has been hit by a series of scandals.
Over the past year, more than 50 officials, referees and players have been jailed.
The corruption and rigging has at times been blatant, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Shanghai.
One infamous match ended with a team clearly seen trying to score an own goal, he says.
Shanghai Shenhua was found guilty of offering bribes to officials to secure a 4-1 victory against Shanxi Guoli, Chinese media report.
In addition to the fine, the club was given a six-point penalty for the coming season, as was another top-division side, Tianjin Teda, which was also fined 1m yuan, said China Daily.
In total, 12 clubs have been given financial or points-based penalties, Xinhua reports.
Among the officials banned for life were two former heads of the Chinese football league, Nan Yong and his predecessor Xie Yalong, who are already serving 10-and-a-half years each in jail after being convicted of accepting bribes.
Another 25 players and officials have been given five-year bans.
China's football authorities hope that by cracking down on corruption cases they will raise standards and attract foreign talent to play in the country.
Former English Premier League players Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka both joined Shanghai Shenhua in 2012, but left after just one season.
The capital's drivers spent an average of 96 hours stuck in traffic last year - almost a day longer than the runner-up, Brussels.
All five of the UK's most congested roads are in London, with the A217 and A215 heading the list.
Transport for London said economic growth and a big population increase were creating more traffic.
Drivers in the capital spent 14 hours more in their vehicles compared to 2013.
Manchester was the UK's second most congested city, with 52 hours lost to traffic jams, followed by Merseyside, Belfast and Birmingham.
Rob Clayton of Inrix told the BBC: "Private car ownership has gone up and there are more commercial vehicles on the road."
Transport for London's chief operating officer for surface transport, Garrett Emmerson, said: "We are seeing unprecedented increases in population and this, combined with strong economic growth and the consequent increase in building and construction, creates more traffic.
"To tackle this, we need continued, sustained investment to boost capacity and modernise London's road network."
According to initial reports, a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a hotel near the police district in Lahore's Qila Gujjar Singh area.
Several vehicles parked near the site of the blast caught fire and gunshots could be heard from within the police district.
A splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban said it carried out the attack.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar [The Party of Freedom Fighters], which split from the Pakistani Taliban in August, is a territorial group of militants from Pakistan's Mohmand tribal region headed by Omar Khalid Khorasani, says the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed the attack was in response to the recent executions of some of the group's members by the Pakistani government.
The group is understood to have carried out several previous attacks on Pakistani targets, including the beheading of 23 paramilitary soldiers in February 2014.
Lahore city police chief Captain Mohammad Ameen Wains said Tuesday's attack appeared to have been caused by a suicide bomber who had intended to blow himself up inside Lahore's police headquarters but had "blasted himself prematurely".
He said several other people had been injured and five or six vehicles damaged.
The shots heard nearby were fired by security personnel following the blast, the Dawn website reported.
Lahore is one of Pakistan's most liberal cities and has seen relatively few attacks in recent years.
Pakistan has suffered two major militant attacks in the last month.
At least 60 people were killed in an attack on a Shia mosque on 30 January in the southern province of Sindh, and a Taliban attack on a Shia mosque in the city of Peshawar on last Friday killed 20.
Yoan Gouffran gave the visitors the lead when he thundered in a volley from Jonjo Shelvey's corner.
Craig Bryson had the Rams' best chance after the break, but his powerful shot from the edge of the box was parried away by goalkeeper Matz Sels.
The Magpies sealed the win in injury time, Ayoze Perez finding DeAndre Yedlin to scuff a shot home.
Derby's goal-scoring difficulties continue, having scored just once in their first six league games despite handing debuts to an attacking trio of Matej Vydra, James Wilson and Ikechi Anya, who were signed before the transfer window closed.
By contrast, Rafael Benitez's Newcastle have now recovered from their wobbly start to the campaign to pick up four straight wins in the second tier, with keeper Sels barely tested.
That was in no small part down to the defensive effort throughout the side, typified by wingers Matt Ritchie and Gouffran doubling up with their full-backs to deny Derby the opportunity to bring their attacking additions into the game.
They were also ruthless enough to take their chances, soaking up Derby's second-half resurgence and then releasing the pressure with a late sucker-punch second goal.

She told MSPs that she expected to meet David Cameron later this week.
The SNP won 56 of the 59 Scottish seats at the general election, making it the third largest political party in the House of Commons.
Ms Sturgeon said she hoped Mr Cameron would agree to look again at plans to hand more powers to Holyrood.
After the "No" vote in last September's Scottish independence referendum, Lord Smith of Kelvin was appointed to look at what additional powers might be handed to Scotland.
The Smith Commission made a series of recommendations which were approved by Scotland's political parties.
Ms Sturgeon, the first minister and leader of the SNP, told MSPs that she had a phone conversation with Mr Cameron on Friday and had subsequently written to him asking for a meeting.
Ms Sturgeon told the Holyrood chamber that last week's election result, which saw the SNP increase its seat tally from six to 56, was of "truly historic proportions".
Of her impending meeting with Mr Cameron, whose Conservative Party won a majority in the election, she said: "Public spending and the protection of Scotland's budget will be key issues on the agenda when we do meet. The issue too of more powers for the parliament must form part of our discussions.
"If the PM and his government mean what they say about respecting the outcome of the election in Scotland, they must now agree with us a process which looks again at the Smith Commission proposals with a view to extending devolution even further and that is a process that must be made here in Scotland."
She added: "As a matter of priority we want to see devolution of powers over employment policy including the minimum wage; welfare; business taxes; National Insurance and equality policy - the powers we need to create jobs, grow revenues and lift people out of poverty."
In response to Ms Sturgeon's statement, Scottish Labour's Deputy leader Kezia Dugdale wished the SNP's "strong team at Westminster" well, and urged it to oppose Conservative efforts to repeal the Human Rights Act.
She said: "These benches will do everything that we can to oppose any attempt that the Tories make to scrap the Human Rights Act.
"Enacted in the early days of a fresh Labour government full of hope and aspiration for the future, the Act embodies the civil and political rights which are fundamental to any liberal democracy."
Ms Dugdale also said there was "fear and trepidation in the air" in Scottish communities over Tory plans to "attack disability benefits".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson congratulated Ms Sturgeon on the SNP's election performance, and also Prime Minister David Cameron "in managing what no Prime Minister has done since 1955 - increasing the number of votes and seats while already in office".
She said: "While in Scotland we did not manage to add to the seats total, we did contribute to the share of the vote with 434,000 fellow Scots voting for the Conservative Party - the most in any election since devolution."
Ahead of her appearance in the chamber of the Scottish Parliament, Ms Sturgeon held talks with the Scottish Trade Union Congress in which a Memorandum of Understanding urging Mr Cameron to end his pursuit of economic austerity was agreed.
The newly-appointed Scottish secretary, David Mundell, told BBC Scotland on Tuesday that the Smith proposals were the "right package" for the country and would give the Scottish Parliament "the powers that it needs to be an effective and powerful devolved parliament within the context of a United Kingdom".
Scottish Borders Council is being asked to endorse the response to a consultation by Network Rail.
The Scotland Route Study will inform future infrastructure provision around the country between 2019 and 2029.
The council has drawn up a string of suggestions on how rail routes in the region could be improved.
They fall into a number of "key elements".
The proposed response to the consultation reiterates the council's support for extending the Borders Railway beyond its current terminus at Tweedbank.
It said that would build on the success the line has enjoyed since it opened.
The report added that such a development would provide "additional resilience" for East Coast and West Coast Main Lines in the event of problems.
It also stressed the move could give "further economic opportunities and social benefits for the south of Scotland".
Concerns about "service resilience" have also emerged over the first months of operation of the railway with reports of delays or cancellations.
The council is being advised to recommend the construction of "dynamic passing loops" to improve reliability.
This echoes a concern raised by the Campaign for Borders Railway about the constraints imposed by the amount of single-track on the route.
Parking provision at Tweedbank station and, to a lesser extent, Stow have also been raised as an issue.
An overflow car park has been provided at Tweedbank in an adjacent industrial estate but a longer term solution could "encourage further patronage".
Improvements to wi-fi provision have been flagged up as another area for investment.
The existing service has been described as "intermittent" and failing to "fully encourage" mobile working.
"The tourist market is very important to the Scottish Borders," the report stated.
"Every opportunity to enhance the tourist offering should be exploited," it added before listing a number of areas for improvement.
They include:
The final part of the proposals renews the council's backing for two new stations on the ECML at Reston and East Linton as "transformational for local communities".
It also recognises the success of the Borders Railway as encouraging hopes of reopening other lines.
It said some might not be suitable for redevelopment but cited the former route between Edinburgh and Peebles as one worth considering.
The full report will go before Scottish Borders Council on 22 March. | Visitors to Banksy's Dismaland have toured the pop-up "bemusement park" for the final time.

A list of proposals has been drawn up to enhance the long-term future of the Borders Railway - including extending the line to Carlisle. | 34,364,808 | 15,025 | 1,009 | true |
Tory MPs, used to intensive (parliamentary) whipping, and at the very least a due diligence phone call to double check their position, were surprised to be left alone. The Government didn't seem to be trying very hard.
On the rebel side, the whipping operation was not as formidable as it has been on some occasions - but a solid phalanx of old Maastrictistas and usual suspect rebels plus two rather predictable members of the 2015 intake, Tom Pursglove and Craig MacKinlay meant 37 MPs defied their party line. A respectable, but not earth-shaking showing. (I'm told one 2015-er who intended to rebel accidentally voted with the Government - bless….)
There are several reasons why the Government might have taken a relaxed attitude; first allowing the Eurosceptic wing of the party to have its way on the rules might make it harder for them to cry foul after the referendum. Second, under the astute leadership of their new Chief, Mark Harper, the whips may be playing a longer game. Sometimes there's a price to be paid for frogmarching MPs through the division lobbies. Anger festers, regrets curdle and a resolution crystallises against being strong-armed in future. It was certainly true that many who did as they were told in the first great rebellion of the Blair years, over single parent benefits, became more intractable afterwards. So maybe there's an element of waiting till the vote is really vital.
This was a reminder of the fragility of the Government's majority. But it's not a reliable guide to future rebellions. The next big pinch point is likely to be a vote on military intervention in Syria - flagged up for October. The MPs likely to defy ministers on that issue may be a quite different bunch from those who rebelled on the Purdah issue …. And it's far from clear what the Opposition, which by then will be under new management, will do.
Meanwhile there's another, scrappier, whipping operation under way, for Friday's second reading debate on Rob Marris's Private Members Bill on Assisted Dying. This is a reincarnation of the Bill introduced in the Lords last year by the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer.
Because it's the first real "conscience issue" to come before the 2015 Commons, no-one's entirely sure what will happen. The SNP, I'm told, are unlikely to show up in great numbers, because (a) the Bill applies to England and Wales and (b) they've just had a bruising battle over the same issue in Holyrood. In past years there would have been a solid contingent of Scottish Catholic MPs in the No Lobby for a measure of this kind, so the SNP landslide changes the arithmetic, whether its MPs turn up, or not.
The two sides of the argument are working hard to ensure a decent turnout, and there seems to be increasing confidence that the hundred MPs needed to trigger the closure of the debate, and move the Bill to a vote, will be there.
Both want a vote, not least because if the Bill is frustrated by the normal device of talking it out, it will probably come back every year. Getting a definite vote will at least establish whether there is sufficient support in the new House to justify what would certainly be a legislative marathon. So the expectation is that a vote will be held - probably after 1pm this Friday.
But the company said it would "accelerate innovation" in golf footwear and clothes.
Nike invested heavily in golf during the late 1990s with its sponsorship of Tiger Woods, giving him his first five-year contract in 1996, worth $40m.
But the winner of 14 of golf's major tournaments has been struggling with a loss of form in recent years.
In 2013 Nike signed a sponsorship deal with Rory Mcllroy, reported to be worth $100m over five years.
But despite that hefty spending on marketing, Nike has been struggling in the golf business.
Last year sales at Nike's golf unit fell by 8% to $706m, the third year of declining sales.
World number four McIlroy tweeted after the announcement: "Sad for @nikegolf employees that worked so hard and made genuinely great golf equipment. Your support will always be appreciated #TeamNike"
Nike said it still intends to "partner with more of the world's best golfers".
"We're committed to being the undisputed leader in golf footwear and apparel," said Trevor Edwards, president of Nike Brand.
"We will achieve this by investing in performance innovation for athletes and delivering sustainable profitable growth for Nike Golf."
Earlier this year Nike's rival Adidas announced its intention to sell most of its golf business.
It put its TaylorMade, Adams and Ashworth brands up for sale.
The small Gulf state's influence in the UK, and London in particular, is becoming more evident. It is a joint owner of London's newest landmark, the Shard, it stepped in to provide funds for Barclays back in 2008 which helped the bank avoid being semi-nationalised, and has bought a 20% stake in the company that owns Heathrow airport.
The list of what else it owns through its sovereign wealth fund - the government-controlled investment fund - goes on. Harrods, a 20% stake in Camden market, a 26% stake in supermarket Sainsbury's to name but a few.
And according to recent reports, the UK government is now looking to tap up the oil and gas-rich Middle East state for some £10bn ($15bn) for infrastructure projects.
The Commercial Secretary to the Treasury, Lord Deighton, hinted at the move recently. "We have had multiple recent contacts over the last 12 months with many governments and sovereign wealth funds on infrastructure," he told an infrastructure investment forum.
"Strong inward investment into the UK economy has created or secured more than 112,000 jobs in 2011-12, a rise of 19% on the preceding year.
"We hope to be even better and are working with institutional investors - from banks through pension funds to sovereign wealth funds - to ensure that the deepest possible sources of capital are available to the widest possible range of infrastructure projects."
The UK is not alone in courting Qatari investment.
Debt-laden Greece has been wooing the state, which has already invested in one of Greece's gold-mining projects. Qatar has also agreed to contribute to a fund to reinvigorate disadvantaged suburbs in France.
And it is involved with some African nations to help fund charitable projects, and is looking to invest in China's capital market.
"Living in Qatar, it seems like every country in the world is currently targeting Qatar," says Iain Webster, executive director for Qatar, at the Brand Union, which advises companies on brand strategy, and whose clients include Qatar National Bank and the Qatar Olympic Committee.
Qatar's Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah Al Thani is one of the world's busiest leaders at the moment, according to Mr Webster.
"Every single week he has bilateral conversations with leaders from all over the world."
The draw of Qatar as an investor is easy to see. At a time when so many western economies are struggling, liquidity is not an issue for the Gulf state.
"Qatar can afford to be a long-term strategic investor and at this moment in time to have someone with the liquidity to provide funds with no pressure for short-term returns is quite rare," says Mr Webster.
But Colin Foreman, news editor of Middle East Economic Digest (MEED), points out the difference between government and private funding.
"It's quite attractive on the sovereign side as an investor," he says, "as you're dealing with a government that has not got a financial issue.
"Where it becomes more tricky is with private funders. I don't think foreign banks are particularly open to that kind of funding."
So what does Qatar look for when choosing where to invest its vast wealth?
Most investments are long-term strategic investments, but they all contribute to the Qatar National Vision 2030 which seeks to shift the country from a carbon economy to a knowledge economy.
The awareness that at some stage its oil and gas resources will dry up and planning for the future draws parallels with Norway, which set up a sovereign wealth fund in 1990 to ensure the country had other sources of income in a "post-oil" world.
Mr Foreman says investment decisions are based on whether they make economic sense, and whether they can tie back to help the domestic economy.
"They've bought into construction companies before. That is a logical move."
But he adds, "Some of the others are more trophy assets and there are other considerations at play."
For instance, the country has turned its attention to football. In 2011 the Qatar Investment Authority took over French club Paris Saint-Germain, and the Qatar Foundation are the shirt sponsors of Spanish superstars Barcelona.
"Clearly when you buy a football club, there's a different set of rationale - it's not a basic economic decision, it's profile as well," says Mr Foreman.
Inward investment in infrastructure is also making Qatar a destination for foreign companies seeking lucrative contracts.
The National Vision's aim of preparing for "a new international order that is knowledge-based and extremely competitive" has led to billions of dollars being spent on bringing international university campuses - including Georgetown, Weill Cornell Medical College, and French business school HEC Paris - to the country.
There has also been massive interest in tenders for Qatar's sewage infrastructure and metro projects.
But perhaps more significantly, with Qatar hosting the 2022 Football World Cup, it is set to invest heavily in a tournament that it hopes will raise its profile around the world, and will reportedly spend up to $150bn (£100bn) on infrastructure projects ahead of the event.
With foreign firms eager to cash in on the boom, Iain Webster says UK companies are already well-represented in Qatar and seem well-placed for the future.
The UK and Qatar have a unique relationship, he says. "A lot of Qataris seem to me to be real 'anglophiles'. They love London as a city and are avid consumers of British brands. The more Qatar invests in London and the UK, the more the bonds that connect the two countries will be strengthened, bringing valuable benefits to each party."
He points to Qatar UK 2013, which aims to forge new partnerships between the two countries in the fields of art, culture, education, sport and science.
"Any initiative like that is positive for the Middle East because it's had such polarised reporting in the western media."
So with Qatari money up for grabs, both British firms and projects in Britain look well-placed to continue to benefit.
Aaron Ravel, 46, of Cavehill Road, Belfast, appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court for a preliminary enquiry hearing.
The alleged offences are said to be connected to files found on a computer.
The prosecution stressed at an earlier hearing there was no suggestion that any of the images relate to patients.
The alleged offences cover a period between October 2013 to April 2014.
The accused confirmed that he understood the charges on Friday.
He declined to give evidence or call witnesses at this stage of the case.
He will appear at Belfast Crown Court on a date to be fixed and has been released on bail until trial.
The judge said the accused was not to have unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 16 unless approved by social services.

They were found in a drainage ditch on Oristown bog, near Kells, by contractors called in to prepare the site for forensic excavations.
The land is being examined in the search for the remains of Belfast man Brendan Megraw.
He was one of the 16 murder victims that became known as the Disappeared.
Earlier, a representative of the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains (ICLVR) told BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme it was acting on information received from Sinn Féin.
Later, the commission said it wanted to make it clear that the information came from a long-standing republican contact.
Members of Mr Megraw's family visited the site on Wednesday.
His brother, Sean, said the remains would not be removed until Thursday, but he hoped his brother could soon be laid to rest with their father and mother.
"I'm sad, but there's relief that apparently it is Brendan - we can't be 100% but we're fairly sure it is him," he said.
"From what we've been told and where he is etc, it looks like it is Brendan.
"It was a shock this morning. I knew they were about to start searching and it was more or less while they were doing some preparatory work that incidentally they found his remains."
He said it could be weeks before the remains are formally identified.
Mr Megraw was 23 when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA.
The IRA claimed that he had confessed to being a British provocateur and Military Reaction Force undercover agent.
Sean Megraw said for the first 20 years after his brother's disappearance the family had no idea what had happened to him.
"It was only since 1999 that we knew for definite that he had been killed, but prior to that you were nearly afraid to talk to people," he said.
Investigators from the ICLVR - set up by the British and Irish governments to liaise with former paramilitaries to find the Disappeared - confirmed a body was being recovered on Wednesday.
Geoff Knupfer, a lead forensic investigator with the ICLVR, said the team had been clearing out drains when they unearthed remains.
Dark mounds of earth sit in piles on top of the bogland where the body was discovered.
It was found during work ahead of a concentrated search. But the diggers lie idle either side of a police forensic tent.
There is a simple police cordon on the old road that leads into the bog but the flat land stretches out in every direction.
It is an obvious reminder of the scale of all of these searches for the Disappeared.
Their bodies were never meant to be found. Republican paramilitaries buried their remains in remote areas to try to hide their crimes.
That left families always wondering, always questioning what had happened to their loved one.
For years, some even held out the hope that they might still be alive.
It is likely to be days before the body found in Oristown is identified but Brendan Megraw's relatives are praying their long hunt to find him is finally over.
It is important to remember they are not the only family still waiting to be able to hold a proper burial for people who were taken from them during the brutal decades of Northern Ireland's Troubles.
"A microscopic search of the ground will be taking place to ensure nothing is left to chance," he said.
The state pathologist is to begin the process of a post-mortem examination and formal identification.
Mr Knupfer told Talkback the commission had received fresh information from Sinn Féin in the summer of this year and as a result, a fresh dig for Mr Megraw had been getting under way.
However, Mr Knupfer said that he was "not at liberty" to go into the details of that information.
Earlier, another of Brendan Megraw's brothers, Kieran, said the family had mixed feelings.
"We still have to get confirmation that it is actually Brendan, but it's within the area that they were going to start searching, so you have to be hopeful," he said.
"It's a joy that a body has been found, but (there's) also a sense of sadness too."
There have been three unsuccessful searches for Mr Megraw, the most recent in 2010.
In August, the ICLVR announced that a new search for Mr Megraw would get under way.
They said that a "geophysical survey" would be carried out on 2.5 hectares of land.
New MP Craig Tracey won Warwickshire North with a majority of 2,973, a swing of 3% from Labour. The Tories were defending a majority of just 54 votes.
Labour's Mike O'Brien came second, polling 17,069 votes, with UKIP in third place, winning 8,256 votes.
The Tories also held the key marginal Nuneaton, with an increased majority.
Sitting MP Marcus Jones was re-elected in Nuneaton with a majority of 4,882, an increase of 2,813 from the last general election.
Mr Jones said the voters in Nuneaton had "spoken for Britain".
Polling experts were predicting a swing to Labour, but their candidate Vicky Fowler came second with 15,945 votes.
Labour held the seat from 1992 until 2010.
UKIP's Alwyn Waine polled 6,582 votes to take third place.
Mr Tracey said: "I always felt that we'd win but the majority has surprised me but it's testament to the work that we've done campaigning."
Mr O'Brien said he was "somewhat surprised" about the result "but the people will make their choice and they've done so".
When it comes to writing the history of the 2015 General Election the name of Nuneaton will loom large.
Marcus Jones held the seat for the Conservatives, doubling his majority, in a seat Labour simply had to win if they were to have any hope of victory.
The BBC exit poll suggested a bad night for Labour and this was confirmation the party was underperforming in a key seat.
Approaching the microphone for his victory speech, Mr Jones simply said: "Wow!"
His reaction spoke volumes about the significance of the result.
The news got worse for Labour shortly afterwards when the party failed to overturn a Conservative majority of just 54 in Warwickshire North - the seat was Ed Miliband's top UK target.
Laura Kuenssberg, chief correspondent for Newsnight, said: "Worryingly for Labour, the increase in the majority gives more weight to the possibility that the Conservatives could win an outright majority."
There was an increase of 11,530 in the Conservatives' majority as they held the Stratford-on-Avon seat.
Labour held Coventry South, Coventry North West and Coventry North East.
The body of James Prout, 43, was found near his home on Sunday. He had not been seen since early February but was only reported missing on Good Friday.
Anne Corbett, 25, of Percy Main, also charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, appeared before North Tyneside Magistrates' Court.
She was remanded in custody to appear at Newcastle Crown Court on 31 March.
Three other people, also charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, were remanded in custody.
Myra Wood, 49, and Kay Rayworth, 55, from Percy Main, are due to appear before Newcastle Crown Court on 31 March.
Zahid Zaman, 42, also from Percy main, will appear at Teesside Crown Court on 26 April.
Officers found the body on an "area of open land" a short distance from Mr Prout's home in St Stephen's Way in Percy Main on Easter Sunday afternoon.
Police said the body had not been formally identified, but they said they were "fairly certain" it was Mr Prout's.
A 26-year-old man from Ashington who was also arrested has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Pistorius was found guilty of murdering Ms Steenkamp after a court overturned an earlier manslaughter verdict.
The sentencing hearing - expected to conclude by Friday - will decide if he will face a jail term of 15 years.
Barry Steenkamp asked for photos of his daughter's body to be made public so people could see the wounds.
Correspondents say Mr Steenkamp's voice broke and tears streamed down his face as he said that he thought about his daughter "morning, noon and night... every hour".
The 73-year-old told Pretoria's High Court that he had had no contact with Pistorius, but said that wife June had been able to forgive the double-amputee athlete.
"You must understand why forgiving doesn't exonerate you from the crime you committed," he said.
Barry Steenkamp, a tall man, looked broken on the stand as he reminded the world that this protracted legal case was about the death of his daughter, and losing her was the greatest pain he had ever known.
Tears streamed down his face as he told the court how he thought of Reeva every day and that even after all this time it felt like it had all happened yesterday. He described jabbing himself with needles from his diabetes treatment to see if he could feel the same pain his daughter must have felt the night she died.
In the aftermath of her death, he had a stroke and now has heart problems, which is why he had not been able to testify during the original trial. But he said he felt compelled to speak now.
Eyes red from crying and shoulders shaking, he said that he and his wife had been changed forever and all they wanted was justice - being forgiven, did not exonerate someone from a crime. "He has to pay for what he did," Mr Steenkamp repeated about four times.
Pistorius stared into space as Mr Steenkamp spoke. He too had been crying.
Mr Steenkamp also told the court how the couple had been left in financial "dire straits" after their daughter's death.
Their landlady had served them with an eviction notice two weeks afterwards - which was why they had initially accepted monthly payments of 6,500 rand ($425; £300) from Pistorius.
This was meant to have been confidential and he said he was "disgusted" that Pistorius' legal team had brought it up during the trial.
When questioned by Pistorius' lawyer, Barry Roux, Mr Steenkamp confirmed that he and his wife had declined an offer to meet the athlete.
"The time will come and I would like to talk to Oscar," he said.
Pistorius, 29, killed Ms Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door.
The athlete has always maintained he believed he was shooting at an intruder.
He was initially jailed for manslaughter in 2014 and was released into house arrest after a year, but his conviction was changed to murder after the prosecution appealed.
Pistorius was released from prison last October and allowed to serve out the remainder of his initial sentence under house arrest at his uncle's property in Pretoria.
The South African made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics, in London in 2012.
He competed in the 400m, wearing carbon-fibre blades to run against able-bodied athletes.
Officers investigating the murder of Jamie Lee want to speak to 23-year-old Jordan Owen.
Mr Lee was fatally wounded and five other people were injured during a large scale disturbance in Castlemilk on 8 July.
Police Scotland said Jordan Owen was considered dangerous and the public should not approach him.
He is described as 5ft 8ins in height, of slim build, with short brown hair.
Two teenagers have already appeared in court in connection with the disturbance close to the play area in Ballantay Terrace
Overall, more than a quarter have been warned about their performance by research group Dr Foster.
And weekend care has also been branded as risky with death rates jumping by 10% compared to weekdays.
But it is not all bad news. Among the worrying statistics are examples of good practice.
If you are going to have a stroke, London is probably the best place in the world to have one.
Services are provided from eight "super sites" that guarantee expert, round-the-clock care.
All patients suspected of having a stroke are taken to one of the centres, which were formed in early 2010 after an overhaul of the system.
Previously 30 hospitals were involved in providing care, but it meant that patients did not always get the expert care they needed.
Now all are assessed by stroke specialists and given brain scans within 30 minutes of arrival. This allows medics to ensure they get the right treatment in time.
And this has, unsurprisingly, resulted in a fall in death rates. Since the changes were introduced the numbers dying within seven days of admission have fallen by a quarter.
Elderly patients are a major part of many hospitals' workload - and Poole Hospital in east Dorset is no different.
In the past year it has revolutionised the way they are treated through the creation of a dedicated assessment unit for older people
The unit - known as rapid assessment and consultant evaluation - is staffed seven days a week by senior doctors, nurses and therapists who are specially trained in treating older people.
All patients receive a comprehensive assessment and an emergency clinic is on hand to deal with the most complicated conditions.
Nearly one in three patients are assessed, treated and discharged within 48 hours, while the average length of stay has reduced from 12 days to nine.
But the reach of the unit does not stop there.
Dr Matt Thomas, a consultant geriatrician, said: "The ward sister follows up the frailer patients by telephone the day after they have gone home to check that they are safe and well supported and help to relieve any anxieties."
East London's Homerton Hospital likes to compare its acute care team to the Dutch 'total football' movement of the 1970s.
The Holland team led by Johan Cruyff had a group of footballers able to step into any position.
The Homerton team, which runs a 40-bed unit, is similar in the respect they have the staff available 12 hours a day to ensure nearly any adult emergency patient can be seen quickly.
The team includes a range of consultants, from surgeons and anaesthetists to urologists and orthopaedic doctors, as well as a host of nurses.
Within 48 hours half of patients are discharged or transferred to other parts of the hospital which can provide longer-term, specialist care.
Dr John Coakley, Homerton's medical director, said it has proved a huge success since it was set up four years ago.
"It has meant patients are seen more quickly by experienced consultants. And this is available for much longer than just the traditional nine to five."
Daley totalled 507.95 from his six routines to finish ahead of Matty Lee (428.00) and Noah Williams (389.05).
"There were a lot of positives and I'm happy how my dives are progressing," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport.
Scotland's Grace Reid will also expect to be named in the Team GB line-up after winning the 3m springboard title.
Daley made his Olympic debut at the 2008 Beijing Games when he was just 14, before winning bronze at London 2012.
Assuming he attains a place at this summer's Rio Games, Daley believes the event could represent his best chance yet of securing Olympic gold.
Find out how to get into diving with our special guide.
"My consistency has certainly gone up over the last 12 months, particularly with the new dive," said the Devon-born diver.
"Every time I go into competition, I'm getting more confident of getting the big scores, which is what I'll need if I'm to challenge for an Olympic gold medal."
Reid has enjoyed an impressive year, which began by securing Britain a place in the women's individual 3m event at the Rio Olympic test event in February.
She then became the first Scottish diver to gain an individual European medal for 62 years with a bronze in London last month.
The 20-year-old, who is based in Edinburgh, also earned European gold alongside Tom Daley in the non-Olympic mixed synchronised 3m springboard event.
"It's just amazing and I'm really pleased not only with the result today but also the new consistency that I've found," Reid told BBC Sport.
"I was in emotional trauma if I'm honest (with the pressure today), but I was able to find my composure and hopefully it's enough for Rio because that would mean everything."
British divers will learn whether they have been selected to represent Team GB at the Rio Olympics later this week.
The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to the manslaughter by diminished responsibility of James Attfield, 33, and Saudi student Nahid Almanea, 31.
He denied a more serious murder charge, which prosecutors have decided to pursue.
His trial will begin in April, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The boy, who was 15 at the time, cannot be named for legal reasons.
As it happens: Read updates on this story and others in Essex
The Daily Gazette, which first reported the story, said prosecutors had been given time to consider whether to pursue the murder charges or accept the lesser pleas.
Both died in Colchester in 2014.
Mr Attfield was found stabbed at Lower Castle Park and died in hospital on 29 March 2014.
Miss Almanea was attacked and died on on 17 June 2014, at Salary Brook Trail near the University of Essex where she was studying English.
The Northside regeneration scheme planned to revamp an area between Royal Avenue and Carrick Hill with the help of private investors.
Proposals included as many as 3,000 apartments and houses, mostly for students, as well as retail outlets, offices and a hotel.
The scheme would have taken five to seven years to complete.
The development consortium appointed by the DSD in 2014, Northside Regeneration Limited, expressed "surprise and disappointment" at the move.
In a letter seen by the BBC, the DSD said that the decision to pull out came after an "assessment of the scheme".
"As part of this process, minister committed to taking the views of local stakeholders into account as well as a number of areas, including where the developer had not met requirements set by the department.
"The minister has decided that the scheme as proposed by Northside Regeneration Limited should no longer benefit from the potential use of his department's statutory powers."
The DSD added that it "has no alternative plans at this time".
However, it added that "other options can now be explored" and said it is committed to "the regeneration the area needs".
The development consortium - a partnership between local developer Kevin McKay and international firm Balfour Beatty - is now seeking an urgent meeting with Social Development Minister Lord Morrow.
A statement from them said that "significant financial resources" had been invested in the project up to this point.
They added that "a number of factors beyond our control" have affected the timeframe.
A collaboration agreement between the DSD and the consortium expired on 31 March and has not been extended.
The scheme had faced community opposition.
Responding to the DSD move, Frank Dempsey of the Carrick Hill Residents' Association said the project was "ill-conceived from the start".
The sale has been plagued by fake bidders including "Racist McShootface".
George Zimmerman, who shot and killed the teenager, had planned to auction what he called "an American icon" on the website Gun Broker on Thursday.
But the web posting was removed just as the auction was due to begin with a reserve price of $5,000 (£3,450).
United Gun Group is now hosting the auction.
In a statement on Twitter they defended the sale of the gun on their site. They were "truly sorry" for the Martin family's loss but said it was their goal to "defend liberty".
"Unless the law has been violated, it is the intention of the United Gun Group to allow its members to use any of the available features. While not always popular this is where we stand."
On Friday afternoon, the top bidder was a user named Craig Bryant.
Mr Zimmerman, 32, a neighbourhood watchman, was cleared over the death of the 17-year-old in February 2012 after saying he acted in self-defence.
Does the gun belong in a museum?
In an online posting to announce the auction, Mr Zimmerman said that he would use the profits to "fight" the Black Lives Matter movement and oppose Democrat Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
A lawyer for the Martin family told the Washington Post that "it is insulting to this family that he would decide that he would sell the gun that he killed their child with".
"Think about what that means: This is a gun that took a child's life and now he wants to make money off of it."
On the auction site, Mr Zimmerman said it was recently returned to him by the US Department of Justice.
He claimed that the Smithsonian museums had expressed interest in buying the 9 mm handgun, but Smithsonian officials denied that in a statement.
Speaking to a Florida television station, Mr Zimmerman had defended the auction saying "I'm a free American, and I can do what I'd like with my possessions."
Few cases in recent years have been more racially sensitive or led to such an anguished national conversation as the killing of Trayvon Martin. It sparked demonstrations around the country, prompted President Obama to remark that if he had a son, he'd have looked like the black teenager and brought about the first use on social media of the hashtag "Black Lives Matter."
So the decision of the former neighbourhood watchman, George Zimmerman to put the gun he used up for auction not only seems extraordinary but also cruel and callous - especially since he refers to the weapon on the online site as an "American icon."
This is not the first time that Zimmerman has sought to cash in on his notoriety. His first painting of an American flag, emblazoned with the words "God One Nation with Liberty and Justice For All," sold on eBay for the staggering sum of $100,000. But it did not impress critics, who called it "primitive" and "appalling."
Harsher language will no doubt be used to describe the sale of the pistol that killed Trayvon Martin.
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries said on Thursday that "Trayvon Martin's cold-blooded killer should be in prison. Instead, he is trying to profit from the stunning miscarriage of justice."
Florida police did not arrest Mr Zimmerman for six weeks after the shooting in Sanford, Florida, provoking mass rallies in Florida and throughout the US.
Police justified their decision not to detain him by citing the state's controversial "stand your ground" law, which allows a citizen to use lethal force if he or she feels in imminent danger. Police initially said the law prevented them from bringing charges.
Profiles: Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman
Mr Zimmerman's defence said Trayvon Martin had punched their client, slammed his head into the pavement and reached for Mr Zimmerman's gun. Prosecutors accused Mr Zimmerman of telling a number of lies.
The case led to protests in several cities in the US and to the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Mr Zimmerman's name has been in news headlines several times since his closely watched trial.
Twice, assault charges against his girlfriend were dropped.
There are scenes of devastation in the aftermath of the huge fire that engulfed Grenfell Tower in west London.
Rescuers say they do not expect to find anyone else alive inside the tower block in north Kensington following Wednesday's catastrophic blaze.
In the shadow of the gutted building a community reeling at the tragedy is pulling together to support survivors, as the death toll is expected to rise.
So far 17 people have been confirmed dead but dozens more are unaccounted for after the blaze trapped people inside the 24-storey block of flats in Latimer Road.
The families and friends of those missing have put up posters in the hope that they will be found alive.
Members of the public have gathered in the nearby area, bringing clothes as well as food and drink.
Messages of sorrow and solidarity are being left on a wall close to the scene of destruction.
The funeral Mass was held at St Patrick's Church in Londonderry after the 67-year-old died of a heart attack at Altnagelvin hospital on Sunday.
In the hit HBO drama's second series, Fulton played a Northern Lord who visits Winterfell.
Born in Bangor, County Down, his career spanned decades and included parts on stage, screen and radio.
Fulton trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
The teacher-turned-actor had recently reprised his role as Sammy the barman in Give My Head Peace for a one-off special on BBC NI this autumn.
Tim McGarry, who helped created the BBC series, said it was a very sad day for the show's wider family.
"He was one of the mainstays of the show, Gordon made the part himself," he said.
"He brought a really good sense of humour to it and he was just a very naturally funny guy.
"He was just a gentleman off the stage as well and he'll be very sadly missed by all of us."
Actress Roma Tomelty, one of Fulton's best friends, told BBC Radio Foyle the actor was "a one-off".
"He was a consummate actor, he was just as happy in Shakespeare as he was in the plays of his friend, John B Keane.
"I remember him coming to audition for the first time. He came on stage and read the lines, and I said: 'you could play this standing on your head'.
"He was an actor that observed people all the time and he will be a tremendous loss.
"He was, in our opinion, the finest character actor in the north."
The veteran actor and his family lived in Derry. His most recent role was in the ITV mini-series, The Secret.
The Derry-based playwright and historian, Ken McCormick, said Fulton had been a big part of the local drama scene.
"Gordon worked with us here at Radio Foyle over a number of years," he said.
"He was a talented, gifted actor, with a great voice and could turn his hand to anything. It really is a big loss."
Gilly Campbell, from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, also paid tribute.
"Gordon was a great character actor and his personal warmth and talent will be greatly missed by many across Northern Ireland and beyond," she said.
Gordon Fulton is survived by his widow, Ann, sons James and Jonathan and grand-daughter Imogen.

As head groundsman at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium and the club's training ground at Rockliffe Hall, he is the man responsible for ensuring Boro have a pristine pitch to run out on.
And, with the club kicking-off their return to the Premier League at home to Stoke City on Saturday, there is much more to it than just cutting the grass a few times a week.
"There is a massive science to it and we are learning all the time," said Bell.
His is the sort of work that when done well garners little attention. But when an error is made and a divot diverts the ball in an unexpected and costly direction, his efforts are put in the spotlight.
"I don't think many people appreciate the effort that goes into the pitch, which is fine," he said. "To 99% of them it's just grass, but the club realise the importance of it."
The pitch's summer overhaul begins a week after the end of the season, in this case after Boro's 1-1 draw against Brighton in May which saw them promoted to the Premier League.
It would start sooner but the pitch is available for hire to those keen to play a game on the Riverside turf.
About 15mm is skimmed off the top of the surface, removing all the grass and leaving a four inch-deep brown field in the middle of the 34,742-seater stadium.
Then 240 tonnes of fibre rootzone is spread across the soil.
This consists of 80% sand, 20% soil and a small but crucial amount of a horse-hair-like fibre which binds the grass to the ground.
"This is probably the hardest part because the mixture needs to be kept damp as it is applied," said Bell, who has been head groundsman since 2002.
"If it is a sunny day we are cursing our luck, we prefer a bit of rain. Otherwise we have to follow the tractor around with a hose or try and use the pitch-side sprinklers.
"And it needs to mix with all the soil beneath it. It is a big job."
Special stone-raking machines are used to combine the new mixture with the existing soil, then it is rolled multiple times to make it as flat and level as possible - any mistakes at this point will remain for the whole season.
About 25 20kg bags of grass seed are then spread. For the next 10 days or so the entire pitch area will be covered in large germination sheets to keep the moisture in and prevent birds from devouring the seed.
"Pigeons are an absolute nightmare for us," Bell said.
The seed turns into a green haze and finally full blades of grass which, once at length, are cut once a day for the rest of the summer.
The mowers are hand-pushed and to cut the entire 8,214-sq-m surface equates to an eight-mile, four-hour walk.
It is at this point that the pattern emerges on the pitch, the affect created simply by the direction the mower and roller are pushed.
Boro's pattern, which is the choice of Bell and has been for the entirety of his time at the club, consists of 600 12ft-wide squares.
"It looks pretty but it also serves a very practical purpose," said Bell.
"It fits our equipment perfectly, the mowers, the lighting rigs, everything. You can use it as a guide without the need to measure distances all the time.
"I think the players also appreciate it. They're probably not at all interested in it but if we were to suddenly have diamond patterning they would notice that and it would not feel like their home pitch anymore. The last thing I would want to do is anything which affects their game. We do not want the pitch to seem alien to them.
"Also, it does look great."
Keeping the players happy is an interesting point.
Bell and his three-strong team spend the week preparing a perfect pitch for the players to go and ruin. Surely that is annoying?
"It's just the job," he added.
"We have jobs because of the players, the pitch is there for them to play football on, we just accept that. That being said, when someone scores and then slides across the turf you do think 'I wish they hadn't done that'."
The final week of pre-season sees the white lines painted, a meticulous process involving hand-pushed paint machines following perfectly laid-out pieces of string.
The rest of the 21-year-old stadium has also seen a redevelopment to meet the standards required by the Premier League, a division Boro last played in in 2009.
More media space has been created, new television studios built and improved floodlights installed.
And, of course, there have also been investments in the squad, with nine new arrivals including former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes and ex-Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo.
For Bell and his team, however, it's the pitch that has occupied their summer.
"We want it to be perfect, it has to be right, it's worth all the effort though," he said.
The 25-year-old scored seven tries in 64 appearances for the region after joining from Ontario Blues in 2013.

The remains were found in bushes in Manor Park, Church Hill, in Aldershot on Friday.
Hampshire Constabulary said the little girl had been named Baby M after being found in Manor Park in the month of May.
A memorial service for the child was held in the park at 18:30 BST on Sunday.
More on this and other stories from across the South of England.
No more details have been confirmed about the baby.
Concern continues for the welfare of the child's mother who, police say, may need "urgent medical attention".
Ch Insp Debbie Brooks said: "Our primary objective is the safety and the wellbeing of the mother of this little baby girl."
The force has appealed to any friends, relatives or healthcare workers with information to come forward.
David Shepherd, of Hope Pentecostal Church, Farnborough, led the service in the park and said there had been an "outpouring" of grief from the community.
"We want to reach out to the mother, who probably is feeling very vulnerable, there is hope somehow that we can reach out to her."
A post-mortem examination has taken place, but no details of how Baby M died have been released.
The paceman bowled Mushfiqur Rahim and Mashrafe Mortaza before trapping Mehedi Hasan lbw in his final over to finish with 3-34 as the tourists made 176-9.

The trust has compiled the rundown ahead of next week's Book Week Scotland, which will see more than 450 events taking place across Scotland.
The country's top wordsmith tweeters were picked for followers, interaction and their "social authority" ranking.
Here's a look at the Top 10 writers in Scotland on Twitter, in their own words:
1. JK Rowling - author of the world conquering Harry Potter series.
2. Limmy - comedian, author and gamer.
3. Irvine Welsh - pioneering author of Trainspotting, Filth and Porno.
4. Ian Rankin - Rebus creator and Scottish crime king.
5. Dr Brooke Magnanti - author, forensic scientist and Belle de Jour blogger.
6. Neil Mackay - journalist, novelist, radio broadcaster.
7. Mark Millar - comic book supremo and 20th Century Fox creative consultant.

Danny Scott, social media manager at the Scottish Book Trust, said: "People may be surprised to see authors with huge followings ranked lower than authors with more modest numbers.
"But, as this research proves, regular engagement is everything on social media. The authors at the top of this list all interact with their audience and aren't afraid to offer an opinion, or, indeed, be themselves.
"In many ways, the research proves that authors are becoming as much of a commodity as their novels."

Pedro had the chance to seal victory but fired into the side-netting after another fine pass from Messi, but the Argentina forward had the final say.
A Valencia attack broke down, allowing Messi through on goal on the break. Alves saved his initial effort but Messi prodded in the rebound to score in his 471st appearance for the club.
Defeat means Valencia are now four points behind third-placed Atletico Madrid.
The defending champions claimed a 2-1 win at Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday, thanks to a brace from France attacker Antoine Griezmann.

One could run into 26-year-old Jaya PS anywhere in the southern port city of Cochin - be it in a supermarket, public transport or at an art exhibition.
Ms Jaya, who holds a masters degree in art, paints her body with collyrium, a type of dark eye shadow, whenever she steps out of her home studio.
"I decided to paint my body black while appearing in public after Rohith Vemula died," she told the BBC.
Rohith Vemula, a PhD student at the University of Hyderabad, killed himself on 17 January after alleged caste discrimination on the campus.
Why are India's Dalit students taking their lives?
"The news stung me and I thought of this way to express my solidarity with the Vemulas of India."
Ms Jaya says Rohit Vemula was exactly her age, which led to question why "he was being denied the privileges I have been enjoying"?
The answer, she says, is because "black represents the lowest strata of our caste system".
"Caste is closely related to colour and whatever is black is not welcome in the Indian society. I experienced its severity when I started painting myself black," she says.
"While I was travelling on a bus, an elderly woman passenger once started shouting at me, she called me Putana [a female demon from the Hindu epic Mahabharata]."
Even in Kerala, which is India's most literate state, she says colour matters a lot and not many like to marry a dark-skinned girl.
Ms Jaya has now vowed to be "black" for 125 days and on the last day of her protest - on 26 May - she plans to hold a "big event" in the city with a gathering of Dalit writers, artists and activists.
At the event, she will give a classical dance performance and release a book on her experience of "living as a black girl" in a "society that worships white".
Her elder sister Jalaja PS, who is also an artist, helps her paint her body every day, a process that takes two hours to finish.
Ms Jaya's protest is especially novel, since in India - as in many South Asian and African countries - fair skin is coveted and darker-complexioned men and women bleach their skin. Skin-lightening creams in the country see sales worth millions of dollars.
Ms Jaya says she wants to explore new ways of sending across messages in better and more powerful ways, even if that means breaking conventions.
"When I'm in motion, people think it's my skin colour. But when I get near them, they ask questions and I explain the politics behind this. Some respond positively, others ridicule me."
Many artists and the local media have supported the protest.
"This is one of the most unique ways of protest that an artist can think of through his/her art," says painter Bose Krishnamachari, president of the Kochi Biennale Foundation, which runs India's biggest art show.
"It is time artists took a proactive role in sensitising the society that is so prejudiced about issues of gender, caste, colour and creed. She's used her life itself as the medium of performance art here."
The Times of India newspaper called Ms Jaya's protest a "novel social experiment" in a country where "dark skin has always been considered ugly".
And the Deccan Chronicle said the protest had helped start a conversation on the subject.
"Jaya doesn't have any qualms walking around in public. Many eyes follow her; some even start a conversation with her. Interestingly enough, that is exactly what she wants," the newspaper said.
"Some think she is unhinged while others pity her for a particular medical condition. Either way, the curious minds get to her and the interactions that follow make her day."

"Our jobs are hard enough. We are always under pressure to try to win games.
"For us as managers, it would be totally dangerous for us to put five or six players in a squad or on the bench.
"For what? Are they going to play? Are they going to perform? Are they up to the challenge or ready for the battle? That's one thing we look at.
"The most important thing about a club is the first team and it's all about the results. If you bring some young players through, it's a real bonus.
"We want to bring some good young players to the club, but all our efforts just now are to make sure we have a successful first team on the pitch.
"If they are good enough then I'm all for it, but we are not just going to stick young players in a squad for the sake of it."
"I think there should be a quota where you've got to include five good players. I'd settle for that.
"I think limiting it in these sort of ways is difficult. It's like the national team. If there were more Scottish-based players playing at a level where we felt we could include them then we would.
"I've needed a full-back, a centre-half and central midfield players. I've looked in Scotland and I've not been able to get them - not that they're not here, but I've not been able to get them.
"There are players in Scotland I would take, but I've not been able to get those players so I've had to go south and I've had to bring in players from England. I had no choice in that.
"So to limit and say I've got to include five Scottish players would make life very difficult for me. I'd end up having to play some of the youth team lads who maybe aren't quite ready.
"If you put them in before they're ready then of course it is [damaging].
"If they're good enough, I'll put them in. If they're not good enough and I have to put them in then that's going to affect the performance of my team, so I can't afford that.
"I've got to put in players I feel are good enough and, if they're 15 or 14 - we've got a lad here who's 15 that, if I was allowed to play him, he'd be flirting with the team, but I'm not allowed to play him 'till he's 16. I will do it.
"I've done it with others, I did it with Robbie Keane and Emile Heskey. I'm not scared to put in boys that are 16 years old, but they have to be good enough."
"I think there has to be a balance.
"We have had periods in the past where we have had to have a number of young players in the squad. Players were coming in just as a token gesture to fill up that quota.
"Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the owner. The owner sets the tone for the rest of the club.
"If the owner gives the first-team manager confidence and says, 'look, I want you to put young players in' and accepts there will be highs and lows throughout the season and gives you the confidence it's not going to cost you your job then that's where it comes from."
The authorities said the inmates were drinking on New Year's Eve when a fight broke out. At least two prisoners were beheaded by fellow inmates.
Rioters set fire to mattresses and bedsheets and cut power in the jail.
The prison, in the port city of Puerto Barrios on the Caribbean coast, was built for 175 prisoners but now houses more than 900.
Street gang members make up the bulk of Guatemala's prison population. Deadly gang warfare inside prison walls is not uncommon.
Severe overcrowding makes it hard for guards to control the prisoners - who are often heavily armed with home-made weapons as well as firearms smuggled into the jail.
Oshilaja, 24, made 23 appearances for the Dons on loan with the then-League Two club in the 2014-15 season.
He had not played for Cardiff since August 2014, having spent the past two seasons on loan at Gillingham.
"I know that our fans really took to Deji a couple of seasons ago," manager Neal Ardley told the club website.
"I believe he could be a top centre-back and that he could also fill in for us at full-back when needed."

Scott Hamilton is accused of causing the death of 80-year-old Peter Wills by driving carelessly in a Stirling Council bin lorry near Dunblane.
The pensioner died at the scene of the crash in December last year.
Hamilton, 43, made no plea or declaration during a private hearing at Stirling Sheriff Court.
The Bonnybridge resident faces a single charge alleging that he "carried out a reversing manoeuvre without taking adequate steps to ensure it was safe to do so", resulting in the vehicle striking Mr Wills and causing fatal injuries.
The incident is said to have happened on Sheriffmuir Road on 3 December, 2014.
The case was continued for further examination, and Hamilton will re-appear in court at a later date.
After Peter Betham had a try ruled out for obstruction, the Tigers soon found themselves eight points down.
But well-worked tries from Vereniki Goneva and Matt Smith gave the home side a four-point lead at the break.
Brendon O'Connor marked his debut by racing clear to score early in the second half and Ben Youngs darted in for a fourth try and a bonus point.
Leicester, Cup winners in 2001 and 2002, failed to progress from the group stage of the competition last year but this performance thrilled an enthusiastic crowd of 20,286 on a crisp night at Welford Road.
The visitors, who won their domestic Top 14 league in France last term for the first time since 2007, went ahead after finding space on the right flank with some swift interplay.
Julien Tomas, on as a replacement for injured former Leicester player Julien Dupuy, went over in the corner and Morne Steyn soon added a penalty from inside his own half.
But Leicester produced a superb spell either side of half time that began when O'Connor won possession and the ball was worked wide for Goneva to weave his way to the line.
After pressure from the Tigers forwards, Goneva was found on the left again and the wing gave Smith just enough space on the flank to score in the corner.
The home side maintained their momentum and O'Connor broke from the halfway line in the opening moments of the second half for the third try.
Quick recycling from the French side led to Paul Williams reducing the deficit to five points with a converted try but England scrum-half Youngs, in his first home appearance since the World Cup, breached the visitors' defence after a tap penalty 15 metres out.
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill:

"I thought we played really well. The set-piece was good and I'm delighted we got the extra point and the fact that we denied them one.
"It's a good start but it's going to be tough. Treviso are a good side and hard to beat, certainly at home. We play Munster back to back and also go to Paris. Munster will be key."
Stade Francais coach Gonzalo Quesada:
"I was impressed with Leicester but we gave them a couple of tries, with the knock-on and the penalty they played quickly.
"I was proud of the team and the spirit but we have to improve and cut out the stupid mistakes."

Counsel general Mick Antoniw said the ruling raised questions of "profound importance" on the legal framework for devolution.
The court ruled on Thursday that MPs must vote on whether the UK can start the Article 50 EU exit process.
It means the government cannot start formal exit negotiations on its own.
The three judges looking at the case found there was no constitutional convention of the royal prerogative - powers used by ministers - being used in legislation relating to the EU.
On Thursday First Minister Carwyn Jones said challenging a High Court ruling that MPs should be consulted over leaving the EU would be a mistake.
But on Friday Mr Antoniw said the High Court ruling on Article 50 and a separate ruling in Northern Ireland both "raise issues of profound importance... in relation to the wider constitutional arrangements of the United Kingdom and the legal framework for devolution".
"I intend to make an application to be granted permission to intervene in the proposed appeal before the Supreme Court," he said.
"My intention is to make representations about the specific implications of the government's proposed decision for Wales."
The counsel general said the judgements raise questions about the use of prerogative power to take steps which will or may impact on:
Mr Antoniw acts as the senior legal advisor to the Welsh Government and is Labour AM for Pontypridd.
In the Belfast ruling, a judge ruled there was nothing in the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement to prevent the government triggering Article 50.
Last December in Paris, countries agreed to cut emissions in a bid to keep the global average rise in temperatures below 2C. The Paris deal is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement.
It also says signatories will strive to limit warming to 1.5C, a more ambitious goal, demanded by poor and very vulnerable countries.
Scientists have warned that warming above 2C will result in dangerous climate change, leading to a rise in sea levels, floods and landslides, droughts and wildfires, among other disasters.
India ratifies Paris climate deal
The world has already become 1C warmer since industrialisation began. Scientists blame this on greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels.
The emitted gases, mainly carbon dioxide, are said to be dangerously concentrating in the atmosphere, which traps in the heat from the sun and causes climatic changes.
The Paris climate agreement needs to be ratified by countries accounting for at least 55% of global emissions before it can come into force.
Sixty one countries, accounting for nearly 48% of total greenhouse gas emissions have already ratified the agreement.,
India's ratification will now take that figure close to the threshold, as the country accounts for nearly 7% of the world's emissions.
UN officials have said the agreement is set to become a law by the end of this year.
The progress with this agreement has been quite remarkable compared to the Kyoto protocol, the first treaty to cut down carbon emissions. Although it was signed in 1997, it came into force only in 2005 and has now been more or less phased out.
India is the world's third largest carbon emitter after China and the US - both of whom have already ratified the Paris agreement.
In terms of per capita emissions however, it is 10th on the list, as its emissions are less than 2.5 tonnes per capita. The US tops this list with nearly 20 tonnes per capita.
Delhi has also pledged to reduce the rate of its emissions by up to 35% by 2030.
Under a voluntary plan submitted to the UN climate convention, it says it will work on sourcing 40% of its electricity needs from non-fossil fuel sources, and listed solar and wind as its first two options.
However, Delhi's plans to also double annual production of coal - the dirtiest of fossil fuels - to more than one billion tonnes remains a very controversial issue.
Like other fast emerging economies, India has argued that it needs the cheap fossil-fuelled energy to pursue development work, and is therefore asking already developed countries to make deeper emission cuts.
But, developed countries have said that rapidly developing countries like China and India will also need to make big reductions in their emissions for a global climate agreement to actually work.
The Paris deal is largely legally non-binding and it is yet to have a mechanism to verify which country has actually cut emissions by how much.
Unless that is secured, critics say, the agreement will remain on paper only. | Behind the headlines about David Cameron's first Commons defeat off the new Parliament, there was something a little odd about the handling of the contentious "Purdah" amendments to the European Union Referendum Bill; it was all very relaxed.

The man lifted his bike over the North Sheen level crossing on Manor Road, Richmond upon Thames, on 11 May.
He managed to cross before the train arrived.
Crimestoppers, which is offering the reward, said the cyclist risked his own life and left the train driver with "psychological trauma".
Commuters who witnessed the event pleaded with the cyclist to wait, the charity said.
Dave Hunter, Crimestoppers' head of operations, said: "This man could have caused himself serious injury or even death.
"His actions were incredibly dangerous. Someone will know who he is and we hope they will see that there is no excuse for this behaviour.
"The barriers are there for a very good reason."
It was expected that the buildings, on York Street would be open in September 2018.
However, following a report in the Irish News, a UU spokesperson said students would not begin to use the buildings until September 2019.
Construction has begun on the site of the former Interpoint and Orpheus buildings.
Work is not expected to finish until autumn 2018.
It will affect mainly those in computing, engineering, business studies and social sciences, transferring from the Jordanstown campus.
"It is not unusual for major construction projects to experience some delays and we remain in close contact with the contractor as the project progresses," the spokesperson said.
The contractor Lagan Construction Group - which is in a joint venture with Somague Group on the project - did not respond to a BBC inquiry about the reason for the delay.
The old 'art college' part of the Belfast campus has been rebuilt and is already in use.
The new £250m campus will eventually accommodate around 15,000 students and staff.
UU plans to sell over half of the 172-acre Jordanstown site for up to 600 new homes, along with some shops and office use.
They have appealed a decision by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council to refuse planning permission for the development.
The vehicle was engulfed in flames and 28 people were injured, train operator Metrolink said, four critically.
The collision happened at a level crossing in Oxnard, after the lorry stopped on the tracks, officials said.
The 54-year-old lorry driver was detained a mile (1.6km) away and has been charged with felony hit-and-run.
Police in Oxnard say the crash was first reported at 05:44 local time (13:44 GMT).
Metrolink spokesman Scott Johnson estimated the train struck the lorry at a speed between 40 mph to 50 mph (65-80km/h).
"I saw a bright flash, a big fireball and flames, flames going pretty high," said Glenn Frisbie, who was driving to work and sitting at a junction about a block away from the incident.
The train, the first service of the day from East Ventura to Los Angeles, crashed about 65 miles (100 kilometres) away from its destination.
Captain Mike Lindbery of the Ventura County Fire Department told the BBC the train was carrying 51 people, three of them crew, and 28 people were taken to several local hospitals.
The driver, Jose Alejandro Sanchez Ramirez from Yuma, Arizona, has been detained and hospitalised for observation.
He told police he wanted to turn right at a junction, but turned too soon and drove on to the railway tracks, said Oxnard Assistant Police Chief Jason Benitez.
The lorry was driven some way along the tracks before being abandoned and was facing the train head-on when it was hit.
The train had a camera on the front carriage, footage from which will be used in the investigation.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the agency that leads transport investigations for the US government, said it was sending a "go-team" to the scene.
NTSB spokesman Robert Sumwalt said: "We are very concerned about grade [level] crossings and we intend to use this accident and others to learn from it, so that we can keep it from happening again."
He said investigators would be looking into whether the automatic "arms" that act as a barrier to traffic functioned properly, amongst other factors. They will look at data from sensors at the crossing and from the train.
He noted that over 2,000 level crossing accidents occur in the US each year, of those approximately 250 are fatal.
Mr Johnson said initial reports from the scene indicated the arms and lights were working.
A Metrolink train collided with a freight train in 2008 in Chatsworth in northern Los Angeles, killing 25 people and injuring more, and another crash at Glendale in 2005 left 11 dead.
Since then, Metrolink has added collapsible bumpers and other extra crash absorption technology to its trains.
Tuesday's accident "would have been much worse without" those measures, said Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was called out to the incident in Lochdale at about 01:45 on Tuesday.
The fire was put out but not before damage had been caused to the meter and cables inside.
PC Beth Williamson said it was was an "extremely dangerous act" which could have had serious consequences.
"The meter has been made safe and electricity restored," she added.
"We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in or around the flat in the early hours of Tuesday morning."
Lwandamina had been doubling as coach for Zesco United, who are in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Former Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund is widely expected to be installed in the role permanently after impressing during job interviews last month.
Zambia's next assignment is the 9 October World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria. Both sides have failed to qualify for next year's Africa Cup of Nations.
Last year more than a quarter of a million under-fives attended non-state nurseries without a qualified teacher, says a report by Save the Children.
Applications for early years teacher training have plummeted, leaving nurseries struggling, say the authors.
The government said staff quality was already good and continued to improve.
Contact with highly qualified staff is crucial to young children's development, says the report.
The researchers focused on privately run, voluntary and other independent childcare settings as opposed to state-run nurseries, which tend to be attached to primary schools and are more likely to employ qualified teachers.
They looked at three- and four-year-olds, 95% of whom attend some form of childcare each week.
Of the three-year-olds who do, 36% attend state-funded nurseries and 64% private or voluntary settings.
Of the four-year-olds, 80% are in maintained nurseries and 20% in independent childcare.
The charity found that children in independent nurseries without an early years teacher were almost 10% less likely to meet expected levels of development at five than children in nurseries with qualified teachers.
This leaves them struggling with basic skills such as speaking full sentences, using tenses and following simple instructions - and they are likely to remain behind throughout their school lives, with a knock-on effect on their employment prospects, the report says.
Pre-schoolers not in any form of childcare fare worse still and are less than half as likely to reach a good level of development than those in nurseries with qualified teachers, it says.
The report, based on new analysis of official figures, also found that in the academic year to July 2016, half of all three- and four-year-olds or more than 280,000 children, had attended a private, voluntary or independent setting without a teacher who held a degree-level early years qualification working directly with them.
Overall, just half of independent nurseries in England employed a qualified teacher last year, says the report.
But this masked wide variations between local authorities: 86% of young children in Sunderland were in childcare settings with qualified teachers, but only 16% in the London borough of Newham.
And the report quotes National College of Teaching and Leadership figures showing a fall in early years teacher trainee numbers.
In 2013-14, 2,327 candidates were funded to train as early years teachers - but in 2015, there were just 860 applicants.
Save the Children wants the government to invest in a qualified early years teacher for every nursery in England, starting with impoverished areas including Blackpool, Oldham, Birmingham and Barking and Dagenham in east London.
"If the government is serious about creating a country that works for everyone, it's crucial we urgently invest in a qualified teacher for every nursery across the country, giving children the support they need to reach their full potential," said Gareth Jenkins, Save the Children's director of UK poverty.
A Department for Education spokesman said the proportion of full-time staff with the equivalent of at least A-levels had grown from 75% of 87% in the five years to 2013.
"We want to continue to attract quality staff into the early years, including more trained graduates," said the spokesman.
"We are developing a workforce strategy that aims to remove the barriers to attracting, retaining and developing great people, and we will be investing a record £6bn in childcare by the end of this Parliament."
Households will pay an average of £388 from April 2013 to March 2014.
Ofwat chief executive Regina Finn said that she understood that households were facing financial pressures.
But she said that the increase, half a percentage point higher than the rate of inflation, was not as high as the water companies had wanted.
"Back in 2009, companies wanted bills rises of 10% above inflation. That didn't chime with what customers told us they wanted, so we said they could only increase bills in line with inflation," Ms Finn said.
"We understand that there is huge pressure on household incomes, and any rise is unwelcome. Inflation is driving these increases."
"We will make sure customers get value for money and if companies fall short in delivering their investment promises, we will take action."
The new charges will vary for households depending on their supplier and whether they have a water meter.
On average, households will see their water bill rise by about £13 for the year from April.
Thames Water will see the biggest percentage rise in water and sewerage bills with an increase of 5.5%, leaving households with an average bill of £354, according to Ofwat.
Other customers to see larger than average rises include those of Southern Water, with bills rising by 5.3% with an average payment of £449. Households supplied by Wessex Water will face an average bill of £478 - an increase of 4.9%.
The increased bills will contribute to investment programme worth about £25bn between 2010 and 2015, the regulator added.
Those supplied by South West Water will see bills fall by 7.3% after the government pledged contributions to reduce each household's bill by £50. However, water and sewerage bills in the region remain the highest in the country, with households paying an average of £499.
Last year, prices rose by 5.7%, owing to the higher level of inflation.
However, the Consumer Council for Water, a watchdog which represents customers, suggested that this inflation link had allowed companies to make excessive returns.
"Water companies are making higher profits than expected and they need to give some of this back to their customers," said Dame Yve Buckland, who chairs the watchdog.
"They can limit their own prices or invest more money into services. They should not keep it all for shareholders and investors."
Cook hit 126, sharing an opening stand of 112 with Alex Hales, who made 56.
The skipper reached 100 with a pulled six - his second of his innings - while Root made 117 off 125 deliveries.
Ben Stokes' 47-ball 66 helped England declare on 414-6 before they reduced the hosts to 35-2 - 243 behind with one day remaining at the City Oval.
The game is England's last before the four-Test series against South Africa begins on 26 December in Durban.
Hales scored only 16 runs in two innings in England's drawn opening warm-up game in Potchefstroom last week.
However, he hit nine fours in his 102-ball innings, which ended when he was bowled by a Dane Paterson inswinger.

Nick Compton, who is expected to make his Test return at number three after a two-and-a-half-year absence, scored 29 from 74 balls before he was trapped lbw.
Cook, who struck 16 fours, lobbed spinner Keshav Maharaj to mid-on but Root raced to 50 off 60 balls and brought up his century off 116.
He departed to a top-edged a pull to backward square-leg.
Trailing by 278 on first innings, South Africa A lost Stephen Cook - lbw to Stuart Broad - before for Moeen Ali bowled Reeza Hendricks from round the wicket in the 11 overs possible before the close.
Root told BBC Sport: "In the last game we had a small collapse so to put that right in this game was vitally important.
"There was some great time in the middle for a lot of the guys and we set the game up nicely so hopefully we can get a really strong result, which is exactly what we want from this fixture."
The total gig-going audience soared by 12% to 30.9m in 2016, according to UK Music, contributing £4 billion to the country's economy.
But there was a 13% drop in the amount of money being spent at small venues - those with a capacity of under 1,500.
Those venues have been particularly under pressure in recent years.
The likes of London's Astoria, The Boardwalk in Sheffield, The Arches in Glasgow and The Cockpit in Leeds have all closed, thanks to rising costs, pressures from property developers and strict licensing laws.
The chief executive of trade body UK Music, Michael Dugher, stressed that small venues were a "vital part of the live music industry".
"UK Music will continue to campaign to safeguard smaller music venues, many of which are fighting for survival," added the former Labour MP.
UK Music's Wish You Were Here report also found that 4 million people attended a festival in 2016; and that 823,000 people travelled to the UK from abroad specifically to watch live music, spending an average of £850 per visit.
Since 2011, the UK has seen a 76% rise in music tourism - but the live music industry has expressed concerns that Brexit could negatively affect those figures.
There are fears that artists might have to scale back European tours, especially if they are forced to apply for costly visas and £1,000 "carnet" documents - temporary import/export agreements - in order to transport equipment across borders.
It may also prove harder for European musicians, technicians and fans, to travel to the UK.
Mr Dugher said he would be "pressing the government" to limit the impact of Brexit on the industry.
Naomi Pohl, from the Musicians' Union, said the body was campaigning "to have a single visa for the whole of Europe, so our members can continue to tour in the way that they do now".
* A domestic music tourist is defined as an event-goer who travels at least three times the average commuting distance to attend a show.

Others are pleased that climate change and the Ebola crisis made it into the leaders' final statement, which was more than some expected.
One Indian daily says world leaders must not allow political disputes to undermine their efforts to overcome the global economic crisis.
In Russia, state media and pro-Kremlin commentators appear to be downplaying what some observers see as the cool reception given to President Vladimir Putin by other world leaders.
Most TV channels this morning are focusing on Mr Putin's interview with Germany's ARD channel and a gas explosion in Moscow, seemingly steering clear of suggestions that Mr Putin left Brisbane earlier than planned, reportedly to avoid further snubs.
The English-language RT, however, did say that "Putin may have had a lukewarm reception" but added that "he certainly stuck to his guns".
On Sunday, TV channels briefly reported on Mr Putin's early departure and quoted his own explanation that he needed sleep.
The RBK liberal daily quotes international relations expert Andrey Sushentso saying Mr Putin gave a "reasonable" explanation for his early departure and the Western media's reaction is "of secondary importance".
But in the same paper, Alexei Makarkin is quoted as warning that Russia is being "increasingly isolated", adding that "BRICS nations won't quarrel publicly with the US for Russia's sake".
The isolation theme is picked up in Germany where a commentator in the widely-read Bild newspaper, warns that Russia must not be left in the cold.
"Putin has written off the West. And in the main the West has written Putin off," Bela Anda writes.
"So [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel did well to negotiate with Putin for four hours during the night. We cannot afford to give up on Russia. The price would be too high."
Elsewhere, papers in Turkey, which is due to take over the rotating presidency of G20 this December, and China debate if the body can deliver on big issues, such as climate change or curbing the spread of Ebola.
"It is important that [Sunday's] final communique stated the need for a more comprehensive discussion at the G20 summit on the fight against the spread of the Ebola virus, and - upon Prime Minister Davutoglu's insistence - the need to focus on the plight of refugees, and its recommendation that international institutions should do more to provide aid," writes Istanbul-based Yeni Safak.
With G20 countries making up two-thirds of the global population, the body should be "the most vociferous defender of the people's right to live in humane living conditions."
Chinese papers see Beijing's nomination to host the G20 summit in 2016 as a sign of the country's growing influence in international affairs. They focus on President Xi Jinping's call for a more efficient and inclusive global financial system.
The widely-read China Daily praises Beijing's own achievements in carrying out economic reforms, but another influential paper, The Global Times, points out that the international community must do much more to solve the global economic crisis.
In India, the Amar Ujala daily is pessimistic about future summits.
Whilst acknowledging that the Brisbane meeting pledged to tackle some important issues it appeals to leaders not to allow political disputes to dominate.
"Economic reforms must be above politics," it said. "But it's really very concerning the way regional and global organisations, which were formed with an aim to boost mutual cooperation, are continuously becoming platforms for political disputes."

However, Stuart Bannigan, Gary Fraser (both knee), Jason Banton (groin), Ryan Scully (shoulder) and Sean Welsh (foot) remain out.
Rangers midfielder Emerson Hyndman could miss the remainder of the season with a foot injury.
But fellow January loan signing Jon Toral hopes to return from rib trouble.
Lee Hodson (ankle), Lee Wallace (stomach), Rob Kiernan (calf) and Philippe Senderos (knee) are all still missing but long-term casualty Niko Kranjcar (knee) has resumed light training.
Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "Is it a good time to get them? They've just lost five goals to their biggest rivals, so they'll be hurting and I know they're going to come out and have a real go against us.
"We need to make sure we're at our best. We were terrible against them two weeks ago, so I don't think they'll be too worried about coming to Firhill.
"There are only two points we've not taken points off (this season) - Rangers and Aberdeen. We desperately want to take points off them, and we'd like to do it at Firhill as well.
"We all know we missed an opportunity the last time they came here, I thought we deserved at least a draw, and some poor defending meant we got nothing. Hopefully we go one better and we need to put a real performance on for the fans as well."
Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha: "I'm having good expectations regarding that and I hope the boys can have a very good reaction (to defeat to Celtic).
"We have a lot of players that cannot contribute because they are injured, but even so the players that we have, we know that they are going to be at their very best and the very best at this club is always looking for a win and by the end getting three more points."
The first half was short of action but it was the visitors who looked the more threatening.
With half an hour played, Ched Evans drove in to the Dons area but saw his effort palmed over the bar by Ryan Clarke. Just moments later, Reece Mitchell dragged an effort across the face of the goal.
Sam Hird then found the opening for the Spireites, as he headed a corner that deflected off Darius Charles and went down as an own goal.
The early period of the second half saw the visitors' domination continue, but the Dons found an equaliser against the run of play.
Defender Paul Robinson latched onto a George Francomb corner and guided the ball past Chesterfield keeper Ryan Fulton.
A combination of excellent saves and poor finishing saw the sides heading towards the final whistle with a point each.
The Dons, however, found a winner in the first minute of stoppage time when substitute Poleon neatly swivelled and fired home.

Of the 20,400 social work orders started in 2013-14, 78% contained an element of unpaid work.
The Scottish government said the successful completion rate for social work orders had risen in each of the last five years.
The figure rose from 59% in 2008-09 to 71% in 2013-14.
The work included the construction of cycle paths, removal of graffiti and the refurbishment of community centres, public parks and sports facilities.
The figures also showed that in the year to the end of March 2014:
The orders included unpaid work or other activity and treatment for alcohol, drug misuse or mental health issues.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "This government is working hard to ensure that Scotland is a safe place to live, work and visit. Recorded crime is at its lowest level for 40 years, supported by the work of more than 1,000 extra police officers in our communities.
"The figures represent the third full year of use for the community payback order - an order imposed by the courts to make offenders work hard in our communities, on both short and long term projects, as payback for their crimes - and it's clear that the orders are doing exactly that.
"The punishment should always fit the crime, and prison is the right place for those who commit serious crimes or pose a danger to communities.
"However, we know that short prison sentences do not work to rehabilitate offenders or to reduce the risk of reoffending."
Mr Matheson added: "Community sentences are more demanding, start more quickly and allow offenders to payback to the community while also addressing the underlying causes of their offending behaviour. This is a smarter, more sophisticated option and we know it works."
Social work orders include community payback, community service, probation, supervised attendance and drug treatment and testing orders.
The community payback order replaced provisions for community service orders, probation orders and supervised attendance orders for offences committed on, or after, 1 February 2011.
The Kremlin reacted with fury when a Turkish F-16 fighter shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber on the Syria-Turkey border in November.
Russia has banned:
There are restrictions now on Turkish citizens working for companies registered in Russia.
And Russia has suspended work on TurkStream - a new Black Sea pipeline that was to boost Russian gas exports to Turkey.
Economist Erhan Aslanoglu says the sanctions are bound to have an impact on the Turkish economy in the short term, but in the medium term Turkey will recover.
He predicts that the cost for Turkey in lost business could be at least $10bn (£7bn).
Russians have long been flocking to Turkey's Mediterranean resorts. It was the second most popular holiday destination for Russians in 2014, attracting about 3.3 million visitors.
Turkey risks losing $3.5bn annually in income from Russian tourists, and another $4.5bn annually through the cancellation of construction projects, Mr Aslanoglu said.
But he does not expect Russia to let the row hurt gas exports - the key economic sector in trade with Turkey.
Turkey relies on Russia for 55% of its annual natural gas needs.
"If Moscow stops or delays the natural gas flow, that will definitely have a serious impact on the Turkish economy. But I don't expect such a big change," Mr Aslanoglu said.
In Laleli, an Istanbul neighbourhood famous for clothing exports, the shopkeepers complain about the slump in trade since the Russian jet was shot down.
"It's very difficult to work at the moment. A lot of shops are closed. There are no customers," said Naile Cebic in her shop selling men's suits - predominantly to the Russian market.
Hasan Erin, a leather jacket exporter, also said the outlook was bleak, as 80% of his customers were Russian. He said he faced possible bankruptcy within two months if business did not pick up.
Turkish textiles are not officially included in the Russian sanctions. But exporters feel their goods are subject to an unofficial ban.
The head of Laleli Industry and Business Association, Giyasettin Eyyupkoca, said traders had already lost 60% of their revenue because of the slump in the rouble's value in the past year. That slump made Turkish goods more expensive for Russian buyers.
The Turkey-Russia tensions since November accounted for another 20% loss, he said, adding that traders would now seek other markets like Iran or African countries such as Ghana.
Russia's ban on imported Turkish food will mean losses of about $764m, Turkey's agriculture ministry says.
"There was an initial shock in the sector but we have recovered from it," said Muhittin Baran, deputy head of Turkey's Fruit and Vegetable Markets Association.
"Turkey produces 45-50m tonnes of fruit and vegetable each year. We export only 5-6% of that. The crisis with Russia might affect citrus growers especially, but the government has promised to help them out with subsidies," he said.
There is also a cultural impact - the situation has alarmed Turkish students of the Russian language and literature.
Hundreds of them signed an online petition calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to end the quarrel.
Gaye Kural, a recent graduate, had hoped to get a job in Russia, but now she has shelved her plans.
"Turkey and Russia are like a couple that wants a divorce. And we are their children," said Cagla Kursun, another student.
"If they break up, then we are going to be miserable. We really hope our presidents will not ignore us," she said.
Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman has been taken to the Election Court by local voters who want his 2014 election to be declared void and re-run.
Lawyers said Mr Rahman lied in court and "over the years".
The mayor said such allegations were "not true" as his "future is right here in this courtroom".
"Why would I lie?" he asked.
Mr Rahman has been accused of lying about his involvement in several events leading up to his 2014 election.
He was questioned about his involvement in distributing propaganda containing lots of "abusive phrases" about his predecessor John Biggs.
But the mayor said he had "never seen" the leaflet, which also linked Mr Biggs to the British National Party and National Front.
Francis Hoar, who represents the voters bringing the case against the mayor, outlined a £35,000 overpayment to media advisers.
One adviser was also a star correspondent for local TV station Channel S, the court heard, which Election Commissioner Richard Mawrey, sitting as judge, said was like a political editor at the BBC being paid by the prime minister.
Mr Rahman also came under fire for TV adverts in Bangladeshi media that promoted himself and Tower Hamlets, the subject of multiple complaints to Ofcom.
The mayor hit back, saying the appointment of a correspondent as an advisor was "apolitical" and the council "has no control" over the adverts.
Earlier in the day, claimants accused Mr Rahman of dominating the local paper East End Life, claiming 97% of its quotes came from him or members of his cabinet.
But, the independent mayor said the paper was "not a propaganda machine", adding opposition members also featured in the paper.
Four voters have mounted a legal challenge under the provisions of the Representation Of The People Act.
Lawyers for the group have made a series of allegations, including "personation" in postal voting and at polling stations, and ballot paper tampering.
The hearing continues.
In a statement (in Czech), the foreign ministry says they are in "satisfactory health", and a special aircraft will be sent shortly to bring them home.
The ministry did not not say whether a Lebanese driver - who was with the group - was also found.
The Czechs disappeared in the eastern Bekaa Valley last year.
Their empty car with documents and money was found in the Kefraya region.
A security operation was launched immediately amid fears the group was kidnapped.
Media reports at the time suggested that their disappearance may have been linked to the case of a Lebanese man held in the Czech Republic in connection with suspected arms smuggling.
In 2011, seven Estonian cyclists were abducted at gunpoint in the Bekaa Valley and released four months later.
Some areas of the Bekaa Valley, east of the capital Beirut, are notorious for lawlessness and drug trafficking.

Root helped England to 324-7, sharing a 109-run stand with Jos Buttler, who made 70 off 45 balls.
David Willey took 4-34 and Liam Plunkett 3-44 to help Sri Lanka out for 202 with 7.2 overs unused.
Sri Lanka are still without a win against England on this tour, with only Tuesday's Twenty20 remaining.
England move above Sri Lanka to fifth in the International Cricket Council rankings, and look a different side to the one that exited last year's World Cup at the group stages.
James Vince, who struggled in the Test series against the same opposition, did well to make a maiden ODI half-century but threw his wicket away when trying to cut loose off the spin of Danushka Gunathilaka, who took 3-48.
In the run chase, Gunathilaka's 48 proved useful after some early wickets, but after his dismissal to Plunkett only Dinesh Chandimal could provide some resistance with 53 until he was bowled by Willey.
On a pitch that had looked to favour seam bowling, spinner Adil Rashid picked up 2-41 in 10 overs, and Willey returned late on with two 41st-over wickets before sealing victory in his next.

Man of the match Buttler's reputation for lower-order hitting served him well, in the cause of boosting England's run rate.
The hosts were on 227-4 after 40 overs, and with Root, who faced 106 balls, playing a relatively pedestrian innings, Buttler provided the impetus with a strike rate of 156.
The Lancashire man pulled out the novelty shots, taking four fours off Nuwan Pradeep, and also ran well between the wickets during his 14.2-over alliance with Root.
The hosts have had a very productive one-day series, despite the stumbles in the tied opener at Trent Bridge.
Leading scorer Jason Roy scored 316 runs, including two centuries - he was named man of the series - while Plunkett, Willey and Adil Rashid excelled well with the ball.
England can now look ahead to the visit of Pakistan - the Test series starts on 3 July and the ODI series on 18 August - with confidence.
England captain Eoin Morgan on Test Match Special: "I'm a very happy captain. We've put in probably our most convincing performance of the series.
"The belief in the changing room has been outstanding. Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Buttler, Joe Root - everybody has contributed with the bat apart from myself.
"We've got better throughout the series but we've grown together and got closer as a side."
Man of the match Jos Buttler: "Today was a really ruthless performance. It was good to contribute to a good performance and a fitting end to the series."
Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews: "We've been having the same problems over the last five weeks. Either batting, bowling or fielding has let us down.
"We needed a perfect performance to beat England but they played very well."
The Swiss bank confirmed it was currently in settlement talks with some authorities about the investigation.
It said the talks included findings that UBS did not have adequate controls over its foreign exchange business.
Authorities globally are investigating the possible manipulation of foreign exchange markets.
"The terms proposed include findings that UBS failed to have adequate controls in relation to its foreign exchange business that were adequate to prevent misconduct, and would involve material monetary penalties," UBS said on Monday.
UBS said that other authorities could start settlement talks "in the near future".
Regulators globally have been investigating suggestions that some foreign exchange traders have, for years, colluded in the artificial fixing of rates in the $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market.
UBS has already suspended at least five traders and approached US authorities last year with information in the hope of gaining anti-trust immunity if charged with wrongdoing.
UBS said on Monday it would continue to take "appropriate action" over personnel in connection with the foreign exchange inquiry.
UBS made the admission in a share swap prospectus to its investors. Shareholders are being offered a one-off dividend to swap shares into a new group holding company. The share exchange is part of a reorganisation of the business, to ensure it can more easily be broken up in the event of a crisis.
In addition to creating the Swiss subsidiary, it will create a separately capitalised UK business and a holding company for its US operations.
The revamp is aimed at ensuring that a problem in one of its branches will not spread to the remainder, preventing a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis, when UBS had to be bailed out by taxpayers after losing more than $50bn on US mortgages.
The former Labour MP was chosen over Wigan Council leader Peter Smith by a panel representing the area's councils.
Mr Lloyd will take up the role in June until 2017, when the public will vote for the region's first elected mayor.
Chancellor George Osborne announced plans for an elected mayor last year as part of a project to hand more devolved power to the north.
Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester after the result was announced, Mr Lloyd spoke of "great challenges" for the region.
But he said they were challenges he was "relishing".
"What is important is that we concentrate on what the priorities are for the people of Greater Manchester," he said.
"We are building the capacity to build on health care and social care. It's about building our economy."
Mr Lloyd will continue with his responsibilities as police and crime commissioner (PCC) for now, with that position expected to be incorporated into the mayoral role after 2017.
He said it would be "ludicrous" if the two positions were not combined.
However, Mr Lloyd would not be drawn on whether he would stand for mayor in the 2017 election, saying it was "too far off".
But he added: "Let's see how the boots fit. We will give it a go and see how it works out."
We waited and waited at Leigh Sports Village for the conclave of Greater Manchester councillors to make their decision.
Without a chimney for papal selection style coloured smoke to emanate from, it was left to the leader of Manchester City Council, Richard Leese, to announce the victor.
He explained that it took a few hours more than it was supposed to because the decision was so difficult.
With two long-serving Greater Manchester Labour politicians in the running, it was perhaps easy to see why. For Tony Lloyd to have got the job is perhaps fortuitous - because his current role of police and crime commissioner will be subsumed into the mayoral role in 2017 anyway.
But until then he has been quick to point out that he won't be taking both salaries.
Essex PCs Jason Munns and Luke Salmon had been out on fellow officer Esther Butcher's hen party in June 2016.
A police conduct panel heard the two constables were asked to leave Norwich Travelodge because of their behaviour.
After being found guilty of gross misconduct the Colchester-based PCs apologised for their actions.
The hearing in Harlow was told how the night receptionist Christopher Burnett had asked the two off-duty officers to leave.
PC Munns told PC Salmon to tell Mr Burnett - using "highly abusive" language - to "do one" and called Norfolk Police.
The pair then ended up in a disagreement with the Norfolk officers as to the powers to remove or arrest them.
PC Salmon admitted his behaviour that night was gross misconduct.
PC Munns, the son of a chief inspector, also accepted his conduct amounted to gross misconduct, though disputed some of the allegations against him.
In its finding, the panel said PC Munns' conduct was a "total disgrace".
Elliott Gold, lawyer for Essex Police, said PC Salmon had been the more "emollient" of the two men and said PC Munns had not shown "proper insight into the offence".
Addressing the panel, PC Salmon said: "I deeply regret the embarrassment that I have caused to Essex Police, my family and myself."
The hearing was told both men were held in high regard by their superiors.
PC Munns said: "I owe a great many apologies. To think I have thrown my career away is something I cannot forgive myself for."
The hearing was adjourned to Thursday.
It was a wonderful weekend of sport that threw up remarkable stories - and with so much going on you would be forgiven for missing a few of the best bits.
So here is BBC Sport's selection of highlights from an amazing few days of action.
Wakey wakey Japan. You've just beaten one of the greatest rugby union nations the world has ever known, why are you still in bed?
Because it's 3 o'clock in the morning and it isn't on TV? Fair enough.
Japan's 34-32 World Cup victory over South Africa was considered the greatest upset in rugby union, but it was not even broadcast live on Japanese television.

Neutrals everywhere were egging on the Brave Blossoms as Karne Hesketh crossed in injury time to secure a stunning win in Group B.
Seijiro Takeshita, a professor at the University of Shizuoka, told BBC News that rugby is mainly played as a sport of honour, and not for money in Japan.
The Brave Blossoms certainly held up the honour of their nation.

How about strolling on to a Formula 1 circuit? Ever done that?
One fan, by accident or design, found himself plodding down the track at the Singapore Grand Prix, which was won by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, who finished second, said: "He was on his phone taking pictures, probably for Instagram or something."

Referee Mike Dean riled Arsenal fans this week, but not as much as he wound up Garth Crooks.
Dean infuriated the Gunners and their manager Arsene Wenger by not sending off Chelsea striker Diego Costa, following a number of off-the-ball clashes in Saturday's 2-0 win for the Blues.
But nobody was as angry as former Tottenham forward and BBC Final Score pundit Crooks, who grew increasingly furious during his analysis of the dismissal of Arsenal defender Gabriel during the same game.
According to Crooks, Dean has one fault: "He wants to be the star too often. It's not about you, Mike."
"Gimme a break!" Is what poor Alison Lee must have been thinking when she scooped up her ball from the surface of the 17th green at St Leon-Rot in Germany on Sunday.
America's Lee, playing in the fourballs in the Solheim Cup, thought her 18-inch putt had been conceded by the Europe pairing of Charley Hull and Suzann Pettersen - but it hadn't.
While it was Lee who technically broke a rule, it was Pettersen who was lambasted as "disrespectful" for a perceived lack of sportsmanship. And the confrontation that followed on that 17th green left Lee and Hull in tears.
The USA went on to produce a superb display in the singles to beat Europe 14½-13½, while Norwegian Pettersen issued an apology and explanation, saying: "I let my team down and I am sorry."
Belgium, the home of waffles, ridiculously strong beer, Jean-Claude van Damme and now the Davis Cup final.

Britain, once again inspired by the all-conquering Andy Murray, beat Australia 3-2 to reach the final of the 'World Cup of tennis', which will be against the Belgians in Ghent.
The tie will be at the Flanders Expo Arena in Ghent, which in the past has hosted the biggest names in pop, including Elton John, Prince and U2 - as well as Belgian television's version of The Voice.
It will be Belgium's first Davis Cup final in 111 years, and they earned it when Steve Darcis beat Argentina's Federico Delbonis in four sets in a deciding fifth rubber in Brussels.
Holyrood's welfare reform committee warned that the implementation of a distinctive Scottish system would require a "huge culture shift".
The committee has been investigating the future delivery of social security.
This is in light of new powers over welfare being devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
In a report setting out their conclusions, MSPs called for an overhaul of the current approach to ensure that "the same dignity and respect that is normally offered to NHS patients is offered to benefit claimants".
They said: "Witnesses suggested that elements of the current system appear to operate under an umbrella philosophy which regards those on social security universally as 'skivers'.
"The welfare reform committee rejects this narrative and believes that it is neither realistic nor helpful.
"We believe that a new Scottish social security system requires a huge culture shift."
MSPs said the new system should be non-punitive, with sanctions used only as a last resort, and much more accessible with clear and simple communication in plain English.
The committee recommends the introduction of long-term disability living allowance and personal independence payment awards for people with severe, long-term disability or illness and supports the Scottish government's proposed increase in carer's allowance to at least the amount paid in jobseekers allowance.
The report also calls for the housing element of universal credit to be paid fortnightly, direct to landlords, and for the Scottish government to use the new powers to immediately abolish the so-called "bedroom tax".
Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil said: "We agree with the welfare reform committee that the current welfare system is in need of a significant overhaul.
"Its comprehensive report supports our aims of ensuring our new social security powers will treat people with respect and dignity, and be delivered in a fair and efficient way but there is also a need for the UK government to do more to improve the benefits it will continue to deliver."
Juventus face Real Madrid in Saturday's sell-out at Cardiff's renamed National Stadium of Wales.
Supt Steve Furnham, from South Wales Police, said automatic facial recognition (AFR) will be used to track known criminals and suspects including touts.
He added the first arrest was made on Wednesday using AFR.
It was announced earlier this year that faces will be scanned at the stadium and Cardiff's central railway station but it was not previously known ticket touts would be on the radar.
"We have a significant intelligence cell set up which is linking to all the forces around the country," Mr Furnham said.
"We've been speaking to colleagues in Spain and Italy with their fans arriving here so there's significant sharing of information going on between all of those areas.
"For example, the automatic facial recognition is brand new to us and we're piloting it here for the first time.
"We're loading up faces of known criminals and people who we suspect commit offences such as ticket touting and that will be utilised on the day."
About 24,500 out of the 66,000 tickets available for the final have gone to sponsors.
The police is also investigating the theft of 13 tickets for the final from a hotel near Cardiff Airport and warned anyone buying tickets off the street could be refused entry to the stadium if they turn out to be stolen.
Juventus and Real Madrid fans have been allocated 18,000 tickets each while the rest went to the general public.
A further 100,000 people are expected in the city where there is also a fans' festival in Cardiff Bay.
Road closures have been put in place around the city and people are advised to check for updates and changes, with some closures brought forward.
Timothy Piazza, 19, died after heavily drinking and falling down basement stairs at a campus fraternity, which is a social club for young men.
Police have criminally charged 18 men over their failure to seek medical attention as he lay dying for 12 hours.
"This wasn't 'boys being boys'," Jim Piazza, his father, told NBC News.
"This was men who intended to force-feed lethal amounts of alcohol into other young men," he said, adding that they must be adequately punished.
The college first-year student had been participating in a "pledge" event in February where candidates for the fraternity are required to consume various drinks.
"Nobody should consume that much alcohol. That's torture," said Timothy's mother, Evelyn.
"They basically treated our son as road kill and a ragdoll," Mr Piazza said about the 18 men, who police say attempted to conceal evidence of the hazing event.
It is an induction ritual meted out typically to new members of the US college men and women's social clubs known as fraternities and sororities, but also to military recruits.
The practice can include physical violence, sexual coercion, forced alcohol consumption, or degrading and dangerous "pranks" such as forcing people to eat vile food mixtures or consume large amounts of water.
It is illegal in most US states, amounting usually to a misdemeanour charge, unless there are serious injuries.
Why is hazing so common?
Surveillance cameras captured footage of the students slapping Piazza and jumping on his unconscious body in order to wake him.
The students did not call police until nearly 12 hours after his injury.
The Piazza family said that they are also upset with the university for not sending a representative to the funeral or wake.
His family also described the moment that doctors told them that their son would not recover from his brain damage.
As he was saying goodbye, Mr Piazza asked a doctor if his son would have survived if he had been brought to hospital earlier.
The doctor told him yes, he recalled.
"They killed him," he said of the fraternity members.
Marc Martin, 22, and Matt Preece, 21, died when the BMW crashed in High Beeches Lane, Handcross, West Sussex, in December 2014.
The driver Kyle Witney, 21, of Lindfield, admitted the charges at Lewes Crown Court.
He is due to be sentenced at the same court on 15 January 2016.
Mr Martin, from Haywards Heath, and Mr Preece, of Lindfield, were both sitting in the back of the BMW.
A 16-year-old girl was also injured.
"If you live in a city, your right to the public space and how it is used is an innate feature of your habitation of that environment," says Mr Seiler, an activist with the PublicAdCampaign.
Many agree, he says.
"I find an exasperated public who would like to see less or no advertising at all," he says.
"And then there is a group of entrepreneurs, real estate owners and advertising business owners who enjoy the current system of exploitation of public space."
Public space differs from personal space, which most narrowly defined can be seen as "the emotionally-tinged zone around the human body that people feel is 'their space'," according to University of California Prof Bob Sommer.
Public space, by contrast, consists of shared, open areas such as streets or parks or, arguably, shops or restaurants.
A growing number of people are trying to protect both.
People try to shield their private space, in the broadest sense, with tools such as Baby on Board badges in cars, Keep Out signs on their garden gates or No Junk Mail signs on their front doors.
Preventing electronic intrusion or nuisance calls is more complicated, so people tend to resort to companies for help.
Junk mail filters are offered by software providers, while millions of people use telecoms services to block unsolicited sales or marketing calls.
The public's disquiet does not deter companies from trying to make money from controlling space, however.
Take London's hotel sector, where those with the most money are offered the most space, ranging from £11 a night in a 22-sq-m, 14-bed, mixed-sex dorm, to £14,000 for a night in The Lanesborough's 380-sq-m signature suite.
Free space, such as bars, is invariably part of a broader package aimed at attracting particular customers.
Legoland Hotel in Windsor, for instance, has an open bar area for the adults, overlooking the central stage and children's play area.
But companies are not content with charging for space, or with pushing unwanted leaflets through your door or calling you while you are in the bath.
In public spaces all over the world, companies are gunning for consumers' attention, intruding through their ears, nose and eyes, constantly assaulting them with sounds, smells and visual props.
All the senses can be manipulated to attempt to alter consumer mood, and in turn purchasing interest and perception of the quality of a product.
Some 83% of marketing budgets are focused on the eyes, according to Martin Lindstrom's book Brand Sense.
Stimulate two senses and the brand impact increases by 30%, rising to 70% when a third is added.
The way companies use smell and sound in addition to visual tools such as advertising posters is not obvious.
The sense of smell, "has a direct connection to the emotional brain, unlike the other senses", according to Andreas Keller, research associate at The Rockefeller University.
"Evolutionarily, the emotions elicited by smells are disgust and fear - and whatever the opposites of these emotions are - and social or sexual emotions.
"Associated with these behaviours are very basic value judgements - 'safe to touch', 'good to eat', 'safe to be around', 'good to have sex with'."
Companies know this well.
US company Inscentivation, for example, owns a scent that increases betting on slot machines in casinos by 45%, while UK company Bodywise treats its bills with an odour that makes them 17% more likely to be paid, according to Aroma, a book by Constance Classen, David Howes and Anthony Synnott.
Mr Keller says it is likely that other companies do similar things, though he has "no evidence that Apple, Starbucks, Abercrombie & Fitch, or casinos are using smells - other than that I can smell it".
"Apple is not going to tell you what odour they use and how it affects their bottom line, because then you could just spray any computer with their smell and turn it into an Apple computer."
The use of canned music follows a similar theme.
"If you play slow music in supermarkets, people tend to browse more slowly and look at more products. As a result, they spend an average of 10-20% more," according to Curtin University Professor Adrian North.
Beyond retail, LA Fitness in Moorgate pipes Latin American music to inspire people to take their Zumba classes.
London Underground prefers the classical vibe, following a trial started seven years ago at Elm Park. It now plays calming classical music at more than 65 stations across the network.
But the marketeers cannot win them all.
Fed up with "the impossibility of finding places to eat, drink, or shop without being assaulted by unwelcome, inescapable and unasked-for music", Nigel Rodgers and a few like-minded people founded campaigning group Pipedown in 1994.
"I doubt if piped music really works in the longer term," he says.
"It's like scarecrows that need changing frequently as crows get used to them. Youths will grow used to canned Mozart."
Suffolk Inn Ltd of Suffolk Road, was taken to court by Belfast City Council.
Samples taken on two occasions in January 2014 from an optic of 'Smirnoff vodka' proved not to be genuine Smirnoff.
An analyst also found that the alcohol content of the sample was less than the prescribed amount for vodka and was consistent with watering down.
At Belfast magistrates court on Tuesday, the company was also ordered to pay £69 costs to the council.
A temperature of 23.6C (74.3F) was recorded in Gravesend, Kent and Kew Gardens, Greater London, surpassing the previous record of 20.0C.
Other parts of the south of England and the north coasts of Wales and Norfolk also broke the 20C mark.
The previous record was set in Dartford, Kent, in 1968 and matched in parts of Greater London in 1989.
At 12:20 GMT, the Met Office tweeted: "Charlwood has beaten Filton, recording 22.5C. This makes it the warmest #Halloween on record!"
Less than an hour later, it tweeted: "The warmest #Halloween on record has been broken again with Gravesend recording 23.5C."
Nine out of the 10 months so far this year have been warmer than average, BBC weather's Emma Boorman said.
"Temperatures are not set to stay like this. They will fall away over the weekend dropping to the seasonal norm," she said.
The UK mean temperature for October so far is 11C, which is 1.5C above the long-term average between 1981 and 2010, but short of the 12.2C record set in 2001.
Their study, in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, suggested a decade of shifts aged the brain by more than six years.
There was some recovery after people stopped working antisocial shifts, but it took five years to return to normal.
Experts say the findings could be important in dementia, as many patients have disrupted sleep.
The body's internal clock is designed for us to be active in the day and asleep at night.
The damaging effects on the body of working against the body clock, from breast cancer to obesity, are well known.
Now a team at the University of Swansea and the University of Toulouse has shown an impact on the mind as well.
Three thousand people in France performed tests of memory, speed of thought and wider cognitive ability.
The brain naturally declines as we age, but the researchers said working antisocial shifts accelerated the process.
Those with more than 10 years of shift work under their belts had the same results as someone six and a half years older.
The good news is that when people in the study quit shift work, their brains did recover. Even if it took five years.
Dr Philip Tucker, part of the research team in Swansea, told the BBC: "It was quite a substantial decline in brain function, it is likely that when people trying to undertake complex cognitive tasks then they might make more mistakes and slip-ups, maybe one in 100 makes a mistake with a very large consequence, but it's hard to say how big a difference it would make in day-to-day life."
He said he would not do night shifts "if I could possibly help it" but they were a "necessary evil" that society could not do without.
"There are ways to mitigate the effects in the way you design work schedules and regular medical check-ups... should include cognitive performance tests to look for danger signs," he added.
Dr Michael Hastings, from the UK Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, told the BBC: "The reversibility is a really exciting finding because no-one else has shown it and no matter how compromised a person may be there's always hope of recovery."
He said the findings may have important consequences in dementia, which is known to damage sleeping patterns in a similar way to shift work.
"If you can keep the sleep-wake cycle as solid as possible you're unlikely to reverse neurodegeneration, but you can ameliorate one of the consequences.
"In nursing homes one thing you can do to help is to set a very clear daily routine to encourage a sensible 24-hour pattern of activity; it needs bright lights in the day, resting at night and appropriate medication such as melatonin before bed."
Prof Derk-Jan Dijk, from the Surrey Sleep Centre, cautioned that retired shift workers still had lower sleep quality than people who had never done nights.
"So some of these effects may not be so readily or rapidly reversed."
He added: "We now accept that shift work may not be good for your physical health, but this shows your brain function is affected, and I think that finding will surprise many people."
Police tracked down Steve Stephens after he was spotted by employees at a drive-thru McDonald's in Pennsylvania, who stalled his order and rang 911.
State police gave chase and the suspect shot himself "as the vehicle was spinning out of control", police said.
Stephens, 37, shot dead Robert Godwin, 74, as the victim walked home from Easter lunch on Sunday in Cleveland.
The fugitive's mobile phone signal was last tracked on Sunday afternoon to Erie, 100 miles (160km) from where Mr Godwin was gunned down.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson told a news conference: "We have closure in regards to the search for Steve Stephens."
Pennsylvania State Police said that they had received a tip-off from workers at the fast food chain shortly after 11:00 on Tuesday.
The suspect's white Ford Fusion car had been spotted in the car park of the McDonald's in the city of Erie, near a local police headquarters.
Stephens ordered a 20-piece McNuggets meal and a large order of fries, but employees held his fries while they alerted police.
Henry Sayers, the restaurant's manager, told the New York Times: "He just took his nuggets and said: 'I have to go', and he drove off."
State police pursued him for less than two miles before executing a tactic that involves ramming the rear of a vehicle to make it lose control.
"As the vehicle was spinning out of control from the PIT manoeuvre, Stephens pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head," Pennsylvania state police said in a statement.
During the encounter there were no injuries to members of the public or officers, and Stephens was pronounced dead at the scene, added Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams.
Investigators said they were still baffled as to what motivated Stephens - who worked as a case manager for a children's mental health facility.
Police said earlier on Tuesday that authorities had received more than 400 tips, including as far away as Texas.
In other Facebook videos Stephens posted on the day of Mr Godwin's killing, the suspect said he had "just snapped", blaming gambling debts and a broken-down relationship among other things.
The family of Mr Godwin - a father of 10 and grandfather of 14 - said on Monday they forgave the suspected killer.
His daughter, Tonya Godwin-Baines, had urged Stephens to surrender.
"Each one of us forgives the killer, the murderer," she told Cleveland TV station WJW. "We want to wrap our arms around him."
"I forgive you and love you, but most importantly, God loves you. God can heal your mind and save your soul."
The victim's son, Robert Godwin Jr, said: "Steve, I forgive you... I'm not happy what you did, but I forgive you."
Cleveland officials had announced a reward of up to $50,000 (£39,000) for information leading to the suspect's arrest.
Facebook has launched a review of its procedures after criticism that the footage stayed on the site for hours.
On Tuesday at the company's annual conference in San Jose, California, founder Mark Zuckerberg said: "Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Robert Godwin Snr.
"We have a lot of work to do and we will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening."
A number of critics have denounced Mr Bannon as supporting white supremacism.
But Reince Priebus said this was "not the Steve Bannon that I know", adding he was a "very, very smart person".
The appointment of Mr Priebus is seen as an attempt by Mr Trump to improve links to the Republican establishment.
Mr Trump himself said he fought the election as the "ultimate outsider", and it would fall to Mr Priebus, the current chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), to act as a conduit both to the party and to Congress.
Meet President Trump's possible cabinet
The news site Donald Trump doesn't hate
One of Mr Priebus's first tasks was to defend the appointment of Mr Bannon, who had stepped aside from his role as chief executive of the Breitbart News Network - a combative conservative site with an anti-establishment agenda - to act as Mr Trump's election campaign chief.
Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, said of Mr Bannon: "It is easy to see why the KKK views Trump as their champion when Trump appoints one of the foremost peddlers of White Supremacist themes and rhetoric as his top aide."
Jonathan Greenblat, of the Anti-Defamation League civil rights group, said: "It is a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the 'alt-right' - a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists - is slated to be a senior staff member in the 'people's house'."
The Southern Poverty Law Center group said: "Stephen Bannon was the main driver behind Breitbart becoming a white ethno-nationalist propaganda mill... Bannon should go."
But Mr Priebus told Good Morning America: "I don't know where they're coming from... that's not the Steve Bannon that I know."
Who is Trump's chief strategist?
Mr Priebus urged people to "look at the person, get to know the person," saying Mr Bannon "was a force for good on the campaign. I haven't seen any of these things that people are crying out about. It's a good team, it works".
He said that among Mr Trump's priorities on taking office would be to "get his arms around foreign policy", to start measures on tax reform and to plan changes to the Affordable Care Act - known as Obamacare.
Mr Priebus said Mr Trump was "very calm and cool and collected - and prepared to lead the American people".
Unlike Mr Bannon's, Mr Priebus's appointment has won general approval, including from former Obama adviser, David Axelrod.
Mr Priebus is seen as consensus builder who is close to House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite who could be instrumental in steering the new administration's legislative agenda.
Mr Priebus said: "I am very grateful to the president-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism."
Mr Ryan said on Monday that Mr Priebus's appointment was "a very, very, very good sign of things to come".
Mr Bannon on Sunday thanked Mr Trump for his appointment, saying: "We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led to victory. We will have that same partnership in working to help President-elect Trump achieve his agenda."
In a statement released by his campaign, Mr Trump described Mr Priebus and Mr Bannon as "highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory".

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats are gearing up to investigate any potential conflicts of interest between Mr Trump's presidency and his companies.
Maryland lawmaker Elijah Cummings has sent a letter to the Republican leader of the House Oversight Committee, Jason Chaffetz, requesting hearings.
Mr Cummings wrote that "Trump's unprecedented secrecy and his extensive business dealings in foreign countries raise serious questions".
In the president-elect's first interview, with US broadcaster CBS on Sunday, Mr Trump said he would deport or jail up to three million illegal migrants with criminal links, nominate "pro-life" candidates for the Supreme Court and forgo the president's $400,000 salary, taking $1 a year instead.
Both houses of Congress are under Republican control.
Donald Trump will take over at the White House on 20 January, when Barack Obama steps down after two terms in office. Mr Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in last week's presidential vote.

He added to the club's official website: "I hadn't been playing well because of it so I'm glad that we've made the call.

Michaella McCollum Connolly, 20, and Scot Melissa Reid, 19, are each alleged to have been carrying almost 6kg of cocaine in their luggage.
They were stopped and searched at Lima's international airport on Tuesday.
Police said they had been due to fly to Madrid, then onto Majorca.
Ms Connolly, who had moved to Ibiza from Belfast, was reported missing last week.
Her family had not heard from her for several days.
A statement on Peru's National Police Force website said the cocaine had been hidden inside packages of food.
It had an estimated street value of about £1.5m (1.7m euros).
The two women were stopped as they tried to pass through the Air Europa counter at Jorge Chavez airport.
Ms McCollum Connolly, a photography student in Belfast, had gone to the Ibizan town of San Antonio in June to look for work as a dancer or a nightclub hostess.
After hearing nothing from her for 12 days, her family appealed on Facebook and other social media websites for any information of her whereabouts.
The appeal was backed by several Irish sport stars. Her family said she would usually be in touch every couple of days.
Ms McCollum Connolly holds an Irish passport. Ms Reid is from Lenzie near Glasgow. Both women have been visited by officials from the British embassy.
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has also confirmed it is providing consular assistance to Ms Connolly's family.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London said: "We are aware of the arrest of a British national in Peru this week and are providing consular assistance to the family."
Peru is one of the world's top three cocaine producers, alongside Colombia and Bolivia.
Dan Collyns, a journalist based in Lima, said foreigners arrested on suspicion of drug-trafficking in Peru could remain in holding cells in the anti-drugs police headquarters in Lima for 15 days while police investigate.
He said if the women were charged they would be transferred to Lima's women's prison, Santa Monica, to await a court hearing and sentencing.
Mr Collyns said there were currently more than 200 foreign prisoners at the prison, many of them from European countries.
"The conditions in Peru in any prison are fairly squalid," he said.
"All the prisons are overcrowded, inmates often have to pay for the most basic items, for example a mattress, so prisoners are left very much to fend for themselves.
"I have visited Santa Monica prison, the conditions are pretty dire." | A Northern Ireland woman who was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling in Peru is still being held in the country. | 23,663,286 | 568 | 27 | false |

The hosts were dismissed for 211 on a pitch previously used in group-stage games, and lost by eight wickets.
Tournament rules prevented the use of fresh pitches for the semi-final.
"Going into today's game knowing that we were going to play on a used wicket potentially brought Pakistan's game closer to their home," said Morgan.
But his opposite number, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, had no complaints over the playing surface.
"I think the pitch was very good - it was good for both teams. I think we play very good, that is why we won today."
The three tournament venues - Cardiff, Edgbaston and The Oval - all hosted group-stage games, but the International Cricket Council's policy prevents the preparation of any additional pitches at these grounds for the knock-out stages.
India face Bangladesh at Edgbaston in Thursday's second semi-final, with the winners facing Pakistan in Sunday's final at The Oval.
Morgan added: "Coming from Edgbaston, it was a big jump in pace and bounce and too much of an ask for us to adjust. I don't think there was any home advantage."
England were the only team with a 100% record in the group stage and had lived up to the tag of pre-tournament favourites.
The next major 50-over tournament will be the 2019 World Cup, also hosted by England and Wales, and Morgan insisted he was happy with his team's change of approach since their disastrous showing at the 2015 event.
He said: "One of the huge contributing factors towards topping our table and playing very good cricket in the group stages is that we've stayed true to what we believe in and what's worked for us the last couple of years, and I think that's the continued formula for the future.
"I think it will have to evolve in whatever manner the game does over the next two years in the lead-in to the World Cup, but certainly we're moving in the right direction."
Although England struggled to score runs in Cardiff, with all-rounder Ben Stokes uncharacteristically taking 64 balls to score 34, Morgan praised the Pakistan bowlers for taking the initiative away from his batsmen.
"They adjusted to the conditions extremely well. The wicket was obviously slow and low and hard to get away to start with," he added.
"Every partnership we had started behind the rate, which put us under the pump a little bit, and none of our batsmen seemed to get away."
England will next play a one-day-international when they host West Indies in September, but they next play South Africa in a three-match Twenty20 series beginning on 21 June.
Injured England seam bowler Chris Woakes on BBC Test Match Special:
"Pakistan opted to bowl first, which we all thought was the wrong decision, as we thought the pitch would deteriorate and become harder to score on.
"England got stuck in the middle period after starting well, and then were well set at 100-2 but we lost our way in the middle period.

Ramirez, 53, was on death row in San Quentin prison after being convicted in 1989 of 13 murders. Officials said he died of natural causes.
Ramirez terrorised Southern California in 1984-5 with a rampage of sexual assault and murder.
Satanic symbols were left at some of the murder scenes by the killer, who broke into victims' homes at night.
Ramirez was captured and beaten by residents in East Los Angeles in 1985 as he attempted to hijack a car.
He was recognised from a photo published in newspapers after police identified him as a suspect from a fingerprint.
Los Angeles prosecutor Alan Yochelson, who was involved in the case, said his death ended "a pretty tragic period in the history of Los Angeles County".
"Richard Ramirez hurt a lot of people and I think our thoughts should be with the next of kin and the survivors, because their lives were changed forever by this man."
A drug addict and self-styled devil-worshipper, Ramirez mutilated the bodies of some of his victims.
They included an accountant, a lawyer, a mechanic and a church official. Some were children, others grandparents.
Most of the killings happened in the space of a few months in 1985. The random murder spree caused widespread fear, leading to a surge in sales of guns and locks for doors and windows.
Ramirez has also been linked to other murders for which he was never brought to trial.
After he was given the death sentence, he said: "Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland."
Once in prison he attracted a number of female admirers. Some visited him and in 1996 he married freelance journalist Doreen Lioy at a visiting room in San Quentin jail.
A horror film based on his life - titled Night Stalker - was released in 2002.

Scarlets' open-side flanker John Barclay will return after two weeks out with a shoulder injury, while blindside Aaron Shingler is rated as 50-50.
"One of our goals is to be the top Welsh region," Pivac said.
"So that has huge significance if we can get the win."
The Scarlets are top of the table with eight wins out of nine while the Ospreys have only four victories after a slow start.
"It'll all be part of the motivation when you get these games," Pivac added.
"You want to be the best Irish team, Scottish team or Welsh team."
The west Wales region have been without a specialist open-side for most of the last two matches with injuries to Scotland international Barclay, James Davies (foot) and teenager Tom Phillips (concussion) forcing 21-year-old number eight Jack Condy to provide emergency cover.
"Getting John back, a seasoned player and experienced player, brings a lot in terms of our defence as well as what he does in attack and at the breakdown," Pivac told BBC Wales Sport.
"He's a good communicator and a good leader so we welcome him back."
Pivac believes there is no significance to the lack of tries in Scarlets' 9-6 home defeat against Glasgow, compared to the eight on offer in Ospreys' 33-27 reverse in Bordeaux.
"I think they are playing very well at the moment, trying a few things in good conditions and playing some good rugby," added the New Zealander.
"They're going to be a big threat to us with some class players.

The high-end V10 phone has not one but two front-facing cameras allowing the device to take 120-degree shots.
It also has two screens - one as an inset display above the main one, which can show information such as the date, weather or battery life at all times.
An Android smartwatch, the first to feature 4G connectivity, has also been announced.
The V10's dual cameras on its front each has a five megapixel sensor.
They are capable of capturing 80-degree selfies or wide-angle ones, of 120 degrees, with one shot. For this, the phone actually takes two pictures at once which are then stitched together by an algorithm.
"The ability to take group selfies without a selfie-stick has never been easier," LG said in a statement.
The smaller of the two screens on the V10 has a 2.1 inch (5.3 cm) display designed to show useful information such as battery life or the current time even when the main screen is turned off.
The V10's rear camera boasts 16 megapixels and users will also be able to make use of the video app's manual controls for tweaking shutter speed, frame rate and white balance among other settings.
In a first for Android Wear smartwatches, the new Urbane 2nd Edition watch will be able to connect to 4G, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth.
A previous Urbane watch also featured similar connectivity but ran a different operating system.
The watch includes a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, four gigabytes of RAM, a 570mAh battery and a 480 x 480 P-OLED screen.
Android wearables still have a way to go in attracting buyers, according to the latest figures from analysts IDC, however.
Research suggests that Fitbit and Apple watches accounted for nearly half of the market in the second quarter of 2015.
When it comes to smartphones, LG has seen a decline in market share in recent months. The firm is likely pinning its hopes on the potential for the high-end V10 to regenerate interest in its products.
Indeed, the latest products indicate a hardware company keen to stand out from the crowd, said Ben Wood, a consumer electronics analyst at CCS Insight.
"LG certainly appear to have stepped up and look very keen to try and secure a good space in the market," he said.
However, Mr Wood added that the challenge of pinching any market share from Apple's iPhones remained formidable.
"LG clearly with the second screen has something that will catch people's attention - that doesn't make it any easier to sell than the iPhone," he commented.
He also suggested that mobile connectivity on smartwatches might be seen as "a solution looking for a problem", but they would be likely to appeal to mobile operators keen to sell more devices alongside a data contract.
The building society said prices continued to rise in January, but the risks are skewed towards a "modest" acceleration in that trend.
Prices were up 0.3% compared with December - sharply slower than the December increase of 0.8%
However, annual growth remained stable at 4.4% compared with the figure of 4.5% the previous month.
The average price of a property is now £196,829, slightly down on December.
But Nationwide warned the demand for homes was likely to strengthen in the coming months, as a result of a strong labour market, combined with wages going up at a "healthy pace" and the prospect of interest rates remaining at 0.5% for longer than previously expected.
"The concern remains that construction activity will lag behind strengthening demand," said Nationwide's chief economist, Robert Gardner, "putting upward pressure on house prices and eventually reducing affordability."
He also highlighted the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors report that the number of properties on estate agents' books is close to its lowest level.
The figures come as the boss of one of the UK's largest insurers, and one of the biggest investors in infrastructure in the UK, said the country was "obsessed" with rising house prices.
Nigel Wilson, chief executive of Legal and General, told BBC Radio 5 live: "We are obsessed with owning homes, we are obsessed with house price inflation which is socially exclusive, which isn't good for society and is very poor for young people finding it increasingly difficult to get on the housing ladder."
Separate figures show that mortgage lending by the major High Street banks picked up pace at the end of last year.
The British Bankers' Association (BBA) said that gross mortgage borrowing of £12.4bn in December was 24% higher than the same month a year earlier.
Overall, new borrowing in 2015 was 6% higher than the previous year.
Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said: "Cheap mortgage rates have certainly helped fuel the growth in lending in the market seen throughout 2015. However, we have probably seen the back of the very cheapest deals.
"The biggest issue for many is actually qualifying for one of these great mortgage deals."
A report said that two new residential units and a health care facility have improved safety at the County Londonderry jail.
It added that care for those at risk of self-harm was good.
But it warned that poor industrial relations with prison officers was a barrier to further progress.
'Reasonably good'
The report, published on Monday, was compiled by Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland (CJI) and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP).
After their last visit in 2006, inspectors called for a complete rebuild at the prison site.
However, following the latest inspection this Spring, the quality of education, skills and work opportunities available for prisoners was welcomed.
Overall, in each of four categories tested, standards were judged to be "reasonably good" - the second highest rating.
However, inspectors warned that strike action by the Northern Ireland Prisoner Officers' Association (POA) was "seriously limiting" prisoners' time out of their cells.
They found that because of staff restrictions, only 119 education places out of a potential 158 were being used.
The original house blocks were also judged to be "unfit for purpose" with an unsatisfactory night sanitation system.
Cancellation
The wide range of accomodation "spread out over a large, badly planned site meant that it was difficult to get around, especially in bad weather, which could lead to the cancellation of work and classes", the report added.
Dr Michael Maguire, Chief Inspector of Criminal Justice in Northern Ireland, welcomed the improvements that had been made at the prison.
In a joint statement with Nigel Newcomen, Deputy Chief Inspector of Prisons in England and Wales, he said that the Northern Ireland Prison Service should be commended for the work carried out.
The statement added that it hoped support would be provided to "deal with the seemingly intractable problem of poor industrial relations."
Acting Governor of Magilligan, Gavin Clendinning, paid tribute to staff following the publication of the report.
He made special reference to recently retired governor Tom Woods, who was in charge of the prison at the time of the inspection.
Professor John Underhill from Heriot-Watt University said the UK's potential shale deposits were likely to have been disrupted by shifts in the earth 55 million years ago.
He said the government would be wise to formulate a Plan B to fracking for future gas supplies.
But the fracking firm Cuadrilla said it would determine how much gas was present from its test drilling.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale, a sedimentary rock found worldwide.
The amount of shale gas available in the UK is acknowledged to be a great unknown.
Cuadrilla said estimates from the British Geological Survey (BGS) indicated a large potential gas reserve.
But Prof Underhill said his research on the influence of tectonic plates on the UK suggested that the shale formations have been lifted, warped and cooled by tectonic action.
These factors make shale gas production much less likely.
"The complexity of the shale gas basins hasn't been fully appreciated so the opportunity has been hyped," he told the BBC.
This is very different from the US, where big deposits of shale gas were created in the continental heart of America, far from the movement of tectonic plates.
Prof Underhill's comments are based on an unpublished paper on tectonics. He said he deduced the impact on shale formations by chance.
He said: "I'm neutral about fracking, so long as it doesn't cause environmental damage. But the debate is between those who think fracking is dangerous and those who think it will help the economy - and no-one's paying enough attention to the geology.
Prof Underhill said: "For fracking to work, the shale should be thick enough, sufficiently porous, and have the right mineralogy. The organic matter must have been buried to a sufficient depth and heated to the degree that it produces substantial amounts of gas or oil."
Professor Underhill said the UK had been tilted strongly by tectonic movement caused by an upward surge of magma under Iceland.
This subsequently led the shale gas basins to buckle and lift, so areas that were once buried deep with high temperatures which generated oil and gas, were then lifted to levels where they were no longer likely to generate either.
The basins were also broken into compartments by folds which created pathways that have allowed some of the oil and gas to escape, he said.
A spokesman for the BGS said it could not comment formally on Prof Underhill's comments as it had not done the research.
Cuadrilla's technical director Mark Lappin told the BBC: "We have noted the BGS estimates for gas-in-place and consider that volume to be indicative of a very large potential reserve.
"It's the purpose of our current drilling operations to better understand the reserve, reduce speculation from all sides and decide if and how to develop it.
"I expect Professor Underhill would be supportive of the effort to understand the resource including geological variation."
The government's opinion tracker showed public support for fracking has fallen to 16%, with opposition at 33%. But it also reported a lack of knowledge of the technology, with 48% of people neither supporting nor opposing it.
Professor Richard Davies, from Newcastle University, told BBC News: "It's correct to say geology could yet surprise the companies who are investing. But the bottle neck, I think, is how many wells one can drill economically in a small space in the UK.
"Shale gas wells in the USA produce very small volumes of gas (2-6 billion cubic feet of gas each), and therefore thousands would be needed to impact on our reliance on imports.
"The BGS estimated resources in Northern England of 1,327 trillion cubic feet (2012). I estimated it would require c. 52,000 wells to produce 10% of this."

The Bengoa Report was commissioned by NI ministers seeking advice on how to improve services, cut waiting lists and care for an ageing population.
Written by experts, led by Prof Rafael Bengoa, it is expected to recommend widespread change and tough decisions.
It follows three previous major reviews that each recommended closing several hospital emergency departments.
Harsh medicine, but the earlier reports argued that resources and expertise were too thinly spread across too many locations.
However, closing hospitals is highly emotive and unpopular and so far, the pill has been too bitter for politicians to swallow.
Like the rest of the UK, people in Northern Ireland are now generally living longer than was the case in previous generations.
When the UK's National Health Service was set up in 1948, the average life expectancy in Northern Ireland was 65 for men and 70 for women.
In 2016, the average life expectancy of a man in Northern Ireland has risen to 78, while for a woman it is now 82 years.
The change is due, in part, to improved treatments for life-threatening conditions like cancer and heart disease.
Higher life-expectancy is a positive development, but it also means that there are more elderly people to look after, relative to the size of the working population.
As we live longer into old age, more patients are coping with chronic and complex medical conditions which can require years of treatment and support.
There are also lifestyle factors to consider which affect all age groups - eating too much, drinking too much alcohol and smoking are all putting pressure on health services.
So living longer does not necessarily mean we are living healthier lives.
The Bengoa Report is not the first prescription politicians have sought for the ailments facing Northern Ireland's health care services.
Since the turn of the century, three major reviews have been published and each suggested cutting the number of acute hospitals - those providing A&E services and emergency surgery.
Sir Liam's report recommended setting up an international panel of experts to redesign some health and social care facilities.
In January 2016, Stormont's then health minister Simon Hamilton agreed and appointed a panel of six, chaired by Prof Rafael Bengoa.
The Spaniard is an internationally renowned expert on health reform who has advised the European Union and the Obama administration in the US.
He worked for the World Health Organisation (WHO) for more than 15 years.
He is also a former minister of health in the Basque region.
This time last year, a senior health expert said heads would roll in England if hospital waiting lists were as long as those in Northern Ireland.
In an interview with the BBC in October 2015, Nigel Edwards, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust, described the figures as "serious" and called for immediate action.
Between 2014 and 2015, there was almost a 50% rise in waiting lists.
The numbers jumped from 155,558 patients in September 2014 to 230, 625 in September 2015.
According to the most recently published data from August 2016, more than 225,000 men and women were on a waiting list to see a health consultant.
More than 70,000 were waiting for in-patient and day patient appointments.
More than 95,000 were in a queue for a diagnostic service.
Northern Ireland has nine acute hospitals that are open round the clock. Two others have reduced opening hours for their emergency departments.
The challenges posed by an ageing population are likely to be exacerbated in the coming years, unless the problems are addressed.
By the year 2024, Northern Ireland's 1.8m population is expected to rise by more than 5% to just under 2m.
The number of people aged over 65 is due to rise by almost 26%, while the working age population is set to rise by just 1%.
The wide-ranging demands placed on the health service are also increasingly costly and complex.
Last year, more than 6,000 people turned up at emergency departments across Northern Ireland having self-harmed - most were aged between 15 and 24.
Over-indulgence on food is leading to increased levels of diabetes and weight-related disorders, while the abuse of alcohol and drugs are putting a strain on emergency departments.
When he published his report into Northern Ireland's health care system last year, England's former chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, said acute hospitals were being "kept in place because of public and political pressure".
Since then, Stormont ministers have been making noises that suggest they are preparing to take some unpopular decisions.
This month, Health Minister Michelle O'Neill called the current waiting list figures "shocking" and "unacceptable".
Her predecessor Simon Hamilton talked about the need for consensus and taking the "politics out of healthcare".
Whether ministers will follow doctors' advice this time remains to be seen.
One of the organisers, Kholofelo Masha, said men had to take collective responsibility for the increase in beatings, sex attacks and killings.
South Africa has one of the highest rates of sexual violence in the world.
Police figures showed that 64,000 cases were reported last year.
A series of grisly murders of women and children has hit the headlines this year and President Jacob Zuma has described the situation as a crisis.
The protesters on Saturday marched behind a woman symbolically dressed from head to toe in white. Some carried placards bearing the names of women killed by their partners.
"The time to take collective responsibility for our shameful action is now," said Mr Masha, who described himself as "a loving dad, brother and uncle."
He said South African men had been quiet on the issue for too long.
"You hear a lady screaming next door, you decide to sleep when you know there is a problem. No man should beat a woman or rape a woman while you're watching".
On Thursday, President Zuma visited the parents of a three-year-old girl who was raped and killed.
Courtney Pieters went missing from her home in Cape Town on 4 May and her body was found more than a week later in a shallow grave.
"We, as the citizens of this country, must say enough is enough," Mr Zuma said at the time. "This is one of the saddest incidents I've come across. It's a crisis in the country, the manner in which women and children are being killed."
The governing African National Congress party has branded the wave of violence "senseless and barbaric", while the opposition Democratic Alliance has called for a nationwide debate on the issue.
Until now, checks have only been applied to nurses outside the EU.
It means any nurse who is unable to show they have sufficient language skills will need to have an English language assessment.
The move by the Nursing and Midwifery Council brings the profession in line with doctors, who are already vetted in this way for patient safety.
The risk of a doctor not being fluent in English was highlighted by a lethal mistake made by Dr Daniel Ubani, a German doctor doing an out-of-hours shift who gave a lethal dose of a painkiller to patient David Gray in 2008.
As a German citizen he was able to register to work in the UK without passing a language test.
NMC Chief Executive Jackie Smith said: "From now on all nurses and midwives applying to join the register from outside the UK, including the EU, will have to demonstrate they can communicate effectively to a high standard of English.
"The ability to communicate effectively with patients is fundamental to patient safety and a principle that is central to our code."
Tests will check listening, reading, writing and speaking fluency.
And if an allegation is made that a nurse or midwife already working in the UK does not meet the necessary English language skills, they could be investigated under fitness to practise rules.
The NMC has more than 690,000 nurses and midwives on its register. Around 66,000 of these come from non-EU countries and 33,000 from the EU.
The UK is looking to recruit more foreign nurses.
In October, the government temporarily lifted restrictions on recruiting nurses from overseas by adding the profession to its Shortage Occupation List.
This means nurses from outside the European Economic Area now have their applications prioritised.
The Department of Health said the move was designed to ease pressure on the NHS without having to reply on expensive agency staff.
Katherine Murphy of The Patients Association said: "Nurses from other countries make an extremely important contribution to healthcare in the UK. However, we hear from patients on our National Helpline that there can be real issues with some overseas health professionals; including problems with communication and a lack of understanding of processes and procedures.
"The Patients Association calls on all Trusts to ensure that their staff meet these new requirements, and that all overseas nurses have the necessary support and training to be able to offer patients safe and effective care."
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora, an analyst on the BBC's NFL Show.
Umenyiora says he does not support a Premier League team - instead he follows his favourite player, Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Anywhere Zlatan goes, that is who I follow," he explained. "Last year I was a fan of Paris St-Germain, but now I am a fan of United - because of Zlatan.
"He is the kind of footballer who could make the transition to play in the NFL, partly because of his attitude and also because he has the physicality to dominate games."

As well as predicting the outcome of the weekend's Premier League games, Umenyiora has picked a winner of Super Bowl LI on Sunday - he thinks the Atlanta Falcons will beat the New England Patriots 31-27 in Houston.
Super Bowl LI, with Umenyiora, Mark Chapman, Mike Carlson and Jason Bell is live on BBC One and BBC Radio 5 live from 23:20 GMT on Sunday.
You can make your Premier League predictions now, compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
From the midweek Premier League games, Lawro got three correct results, including two perfect scores, from the 10 games for a total of 90 points.
He beat England spinner Moeen Ali, who got two correct results, with no perfect scores for a tally of 20 points that leaves him joint bottom of the guest leaderboard.
All kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless otherwise stated.
Chelsea v Arsenal (12:30 GMT)
In their surprise defeat by Watford on Tuesday, Arsenal did what we know Arsenal are prone to do - which is not turn up for a period of a game that they are expected to win easily.
I would love to know why that keeps happening - and so would Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, I'm sure.
Chelsea, meanwhile, just keep rolling along at the top of the table.
They have had a good week because they have extended their lead at the top of the table despite being held at Liverpool, because they would have expected Arsenal and Tottenham to have both won their midweek games.
The Blues have the best home record in the Premier League and concede very few goals at Stamford Bridge.
Media playback is not supported on this device
There is a part of me which thinks Arsenal could go there and be brilliant but, even if they are, Chelsea will be hard to break down.
I also think Antonio Conte's side will be thinking they have something to prove against Arsenal after losing heavily at the Emirates Stadium in September.
This is a very different Chelsea side now, not just in formation since their switch to three at the back later that month, but also in mentality - the title is in their sights now.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Osi's prediction: This is a huge game. Chelsea are not just top of the league, I think they are the most in-form team too - and I think they are going to be able to pull it off against Arsenal.
Mesut Ozil is going to score for Arsenal - for Chelsea it is going to be Eden Hazard with a brace. 2-1
Match preview
Crystal Palace v Sunderland
Crystal Palace had a good win over Bournemouth in midweek to give Sam Allardyce his first league win as Eagles manager, and now he is up against his old team.
It is the same for Patrick van Aanholt, who joined Palace from Sunderland this week, and I think they will both be on the winning side on Saturday as they look to climb out of the bottom three.
The Black Cats got a good point against Tottenham on Tuesday but they are back at the bottom of the table now after Hull's draw with Manchester United on Wednesday.
Sunderland are now at the stage where they need to start winning games whoever they are up against, not just their relegation rivals - but I don't see them getting anything this weekend. This game has got a win for Big Sam written all over it.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Osi's prediction: I like Palace - well, actually I like their striker Christian Benteke, I think he is a fantastic player. Sunderland? Not so much. I am going to pick Palace - Benteke to score. 1-0
Match preview
Everton v Bournemouth
Everton had to scrap a bit to get a point at Stoke but that goes down as a good result no matter how you get it.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, lost at home to Palace and it is becoming very difficult to predict their results.
After getting a draw against Arsenal at the start of January, they have taken a total of one point from three games against other teams in the bottom half - Hull, an out-of-form Watford and then the Eagles.
I don't see the Cherries getting anything at Goodison Park, where Everton have only lost once in 11 league games this season, but I am usually wrong about them.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Osi's prediction: I used to be a big fan of Everton, and really enjoy the way they played. I am not so much a fan right now but I like Everton in this particular game - Romelu Lukaku is a great player and I think he is going to score a couple of goals. 3-1
Match preview
Hull City v Liverpool
Hull got a great point at Old Trafford in midweek but this is another very tough game for them.
After their run of poor form, Liverpool were much improved in their draw against Chelsea and, if Hull open up a bit against them, then they will punish them.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Osi's prediction: This is a tough game for Hull. Liverpool are an outstanding football team even if they are just coming off a loss or two recently. They are going to be hungry - I like Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho - so I am going to go with them. 1-2
Match preview
Southampton v West Ham
Just as they did in the FA Cup a few weeks ago, West Ham made it easy for Manchester City on Wednesday - and paid the price.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Southampton also come into this game on the back of a poor result, losing to struggling Swansea on Tuesday, but I think they will be much improved here.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Osi's prediction: Southampton just beat Liverpool in the EFL Cup, right? But I like West Ham, I met their keeper - Adrian - he is a good guy and a really good keeper. I am going to go with the Hammers. There is a guy Michail Antonio who is scoring a lot of goals for West Ham and I think he is going to get a couple in this game. 0-3
Match preview
Watford v Burnley
Watford's win over Arsenal has taken the pressure off them a bit after seven league games without a victory and should steady the ship a little bit.
Burnley have been pretty useless on the road, taking only one point from 10 away league games, but their home form means they are getting closer to safety.
Media playback is not supported on this device
A draw would be a good result for the Clarets and I just wonder if they will take a few more risks to try to get it.
The more men they get forward, the more chances they will create - something that they have struggled to do away from Turf Moor.
If you are losing games anyway, when you are trying to keep things tight then why not go out and try to win them?
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Osi's prediction: Watford striker Troy Deeney is one of my favourite players - he gets it done. 2-1
Match preview
West Brom v Stoke
It will be interesting to see Saido Berahino back at The Hawthorns so soon after leaving West Brom for Stoke, but I'd expect him to be on the bench for the Potters.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Both these teams are in the top half and in decent form, but I am backing Baggies boss Tony Pulis to edge it against his old club.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Media playback is not supported on this device
Osi's prediction: Believe it or not, I like Stoke.
That guy Peter Crouch, he gets it done and, with Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri too, they have a tremendous amount of talent on their team. They should be doing better than they are. 0-3
Match preview
Tottenham v Middlesbrough (17:30 GMT)
Tottenham struggled to create chances at Sunderland and will consider that draw to be two points dropped.
Middlesbrough will also try to shut them out but Spurs have been in great form at home and I do not see it happening.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Osi's prediction: Tottenham are a really good team. Dele Alli to score a couple of goals and maybe my man Harry Kane to come through and do something too. 4-0
Match preview
Man City v Swansea (13:30 GMT)
Swansea have seen an upturn in results since Paul Clement took charge but Manchester City have also improved dramatically of late.
It seems as if that 4-0 defeat at Everton on 15 January was as low as they could go. They have regrouped and look a different team now.
A big part of that is the fact all of City's attacking players are in really good form and I don't think Swansea can keep them out.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Osi's prediction: City all day. They are hungry. Sergio Aguero with the hat-trick. 3-0
Leicester v Man Utd (16:00 GMT)
Manchester United dropped points again against Hull on Wednesday and they have now drawn six league games at home this season.
That's not because everyone has come to Old Trafford and been brilliant, it's because United have struggled to score - and Jose Mourinho's frustration about that was clear after the game.
Media playback is not supported on this device
United have actually picked up more points per game away from home this season. I think they will add to that tally at Leicester, although it might be one point rather than three.
The Foxes are in a bit of a mess now, with their title challenge turning into a relegation fight.
Their away form is so poor and that means the pressure is on them to earn enough points at the King Power Stadium. Getting something out of this game would be a start.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Osi's prediction: I am not going to pick against United, of course they are going to win. I am picking Zlatan to have a hat-trick and Man Utd to win 4-1.
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy)
Lawro's worst score: 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)
Pearson has been hit by falling enrolments in education in the US and changes to education policy in the UK.
The firm employs about 5,000 people in the UK and about 10% of those jobs are expected to be affected by the cuts.
The majority of the cuts are expected to be completed by the middle of this year. Pearson also warned that profits would be lower next year.
Pearson said it expected underlying operating profits for 2015 of about £720m, but warned its profits in 2016 were expected to drop to between £580m and £620m, before the costs of the restructuring are taken into account.
"The cyclical and policy related challenges in our biggest markets have been more pronounced and persisted for longer than anticipated," says chief executive John Fallon.
"In combination, these factors have reduced Pearson's operating profit by approximately £230m from its peak. We over-estimated how quickly those markets would return to sustainable levels of revenues and profits from their peak".
Pearson said the restructuring is expected to cost it £320m. However, it said the shake-up of its business, combined with new product launches and the easing of pressure in the key US and UK markets, meant profits should be at or above £800m by 2018.
The restructuring will include merging all Pearson's businesses producing courseware material for teachers. Its assessment businesses in North America will also be integrated.
Its further education establishments in South Africa and the UK will shift focus to online rather than direct delivery, and there will be savings in areas such as technology, finance and HR.
Pearson got out of financial news and information last year when it sold the Financial Times Group and its stake in the Economist Group. It has also merged publisher Penguin with Random House.
Following the latest announcement, shares in Pearson rose by nearly 9%.
It was deemed that the surface at the Priestfield Stadium was unsafe during an inspection at 15:00 GMT on Monday.
The postponement means that Ady Pennock must wait until Saturday's visit of Shrewsbury Town to take charge of his first home match as Gillingham boss.
The Gills are 17th in League One, six points and six places behind Neal Ardley's Wimbledon.
James McMahon, 37, from Cambuslang was on board the EasyJet flight to Alicante on Hogmanay.
At Paisley Sheriff Court he denied the two charges against him and was released on bail.
Mr McMahon had spent two nights in police custody following his arrest on 31 December.
He denies being drunk on the flight, in beach of Sections 60 and 61 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and Articles 242(1) and 265(7) of The Air Navigation Order 2016.
He also denies "interfering with the performance by a member of the crew of the aircraft" by repeatedly shouting and swearing and refusing "to desist or moderate [his] behaviour... whereby said aircraft required to return to Glasgow airport".
Mr McMahon is expected to go on trial in April.
Pauline Cafferkey, 40, was taken to the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital under police escort on Thursday morning after becoming unwell.
She is in a stable condition and medics say there is no danger to the public.
This is the fourth time Ms Cafferkey has been in hospital since returning to the UK from Sierra Leone two years ago.
On Thursday, NHS Greater Glasgow said: "Pauline Cafferkey was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital this morning under the care of the Infectious Diseases Unit.
"Due to Ms Cafferkey's past medical history, appropriate precautionary measures were taken whilst further investigations were carried out.
"We are pleased to report that tests for the Ebola virus are negative. She remains in a stable condition in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. We want to repeat our previous reassurance that there is no risk to the public."
On Friday, the health board said it did not plan to issue any further updates on Ms Cafferkey's condition as she did not have Ebola, there was no public risk and they must respect her confidentiality as a patient.
Ms Cafferkey contracted Ebola while working as part of a UK team at the Kerry Town Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
She spent almost a month in isolation at the Royal Free hospital in London at the beginning of 2015 after the virus was detected when she arrived back in the UK.
Ms Cafferkey was later discharged after apparently making a full recovery, and in March 2015 returned to work as a public health nurse at Blantyre Health Centre in South Lanarkshire.
But it was later discovered that the virus was still present in her body, and she was readmitted to the same London hospital in October 2015.
She again recovered, before being treated at the Royal Free for a third time in February of this year due to a further complication related to her initial Ebola infection.
More recently, the nurse faced a number of misconduct charges by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
These were for allegedly allowing a wrong temperature to be recorded during the screening process at Heathrow on her arrival back in the UK from Sierra Leone in 2014.
The NMC's conduct and competence panel dismissed all charges at a hearing in Edinburgh last month after being told that Ms Cafferkey's judgement had been impaired by illness.

On 23 June 2016, the UK made a historic decision. It voted to leave the European Union (EU).
The UK has been a member of the EU for more than 40 years, so this was an extremely important moment.
More than 33 million adults voted. Around 52% of them chose to leave the group of 28 countries, while 48% wanted to stay in it.
The majority of people in Blackpool voted to leave the EU, while the majority of people in Brighton voted to stay.
More than six months have passed since the initial vote, so we went to see how kids in these two towns feel now about Brexit...
Arthur Collins, 25, was wanted for questioning by police and had been urged to hand himself in by The Only Way is Essex star.
A 21-year-old man has also been charged over the alleged attack at the Mangle E8 club in Hackney on 17 April.
Andre Phoenix faces seven counts of grievous bodily harm.
Twenty people were hurt - including two people each blinded in one eye - after being doused with a substance at the club.
The Metropolitan Police said a man and a 22-year-old woman both lost their sight in one eye.
Other people were treated for severe burns following the alleged attack.
The substance has not yet been confirmed but samples retrieved from the scene have been sent for analysis.
The man blinded in one eye and another victim, a 29-year-old man, were transferred to a specialist burns hospital in Essex and have since been discharged.
Mr Collins was arrested at an address in Rushden, Northamptonshire, on Saturday.
Mr Phoenix will appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on Monday.
A 24-year-old old man arrested in north London over the attack on Friday has since been released, police said.
Officials have already issued warnings about jellyfish in Mediterranean coastal waters for France and Italy.
But local marine biologists said this year's increase was "no different" from other years and that the blooms consisted of non-stinging species.
They added that they were monitoring the situation very closely.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman told BBC News: "We have been alerted to large numbers of jellyfish in the Mediterranean this summer, especially in a number of key holiday destinations for UK tourists.
"We have updated our travel advice for a number of Mediterranean countries to reflect this issue."
She added that the Foreign Office aimed to keep its advice "as informative and useful for visitors as possible".
Global problem
However, Stefano Piraino - project co-ordinator of the Mediterranean JellyRisk programme - said there was no need for tourists to be unduly concerned.
"Of course, as in any other ocean or sea in the world, there might be some problems," he said.
"In the Mediterranean, we are lucky and do not have deadly [jellyfish]."
But he did acknowledge: "We are experiencing, as in many other places around the world, an increase in jellyfish."
Prof Piraino, a marine biologist at the University of Salento in southern Italy, said the JellyRisk programme - also involving researchers from Spain, Tunisia and Malta - was set up because there was growing concern about the impact of increasing number of jellyfish on human activities in the region, such as fishing as well as tourism.
He told BBC News that the programme's main focus was on a citizen science campaign.
"This is a very important tool," Prof Piraino observed.
"We have, since 2009, used this approach where we are asking tourists, sailors, fishermen, divers - all the people that are in the sea - to send information about the presence of jellyfish."
The team have developed a smartphone application that not only allows people to send information, but also receive details about the abundance of jellyfish in their area.
The app also provides scientifically sound information about how to treat stings because the venom of jellyfish varies according to the species that inflicted the injury.
"We have collated scientific evidence and results from clinical trials, which we have reviewed so we can now, through the app and printed material, offer advice on the treatment of stings," he explained.
The team will also install anti-jellyfish nets at a number of popular beaches in order to assess their effectiveness.
Prof Piraino said it was difficult to pinpoint a single cause for the increase in the abundance of jellyfish.
"This is a result of many different causes. These can be different from site to site," he said.
"Generally, there is evidence that there is an increased abundance because of an increase in sea surface temperature.
"This is coupled with other things, such as the fact that we are changing the coastal marine environment."
One example he cited was the construction of artificial reefs for flood defences, which used a material favoured by jellyfish.
He added that this has been observed more often in other European bodies of water, such as the North Sea.
"This places a hard substrate in the sea, which is the preferred substrate for the larvae stage of jellyfish.
'Vicious cycle'
Overfishing was another contributing factor, he added.
"We are overfishing the oceans, which means we are catching all the big fish so the fish population is being reduced and we eliminate competitors and leave more food for the jellyfish."
A recent report published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) concluded that the increasing number of jellyfish was creating a "vicious cycle" because the jellyfish were also feeding on the eggs and larvae of commercially important fish species.
In June, marine researchers gathered in Japan for the fourth International Jellyfish Bloom Symposium to share research on the global problem.
According to the FAO report, some experts have warned that, if the trend continued unabated, jellyfish could supplant fish in the world's oceans, triggering a "global regime shift from a fish to a jellyfish ocean".
Prof Piraino offered a solution, saying that people had to "learn to love jellyfish".
"The Chinese have been eating jellyfish for millennia," he said.
"Now there is documented evidence that non-stinging jellyfish in the Mediterranean can be eaten - they are full of antioxidants and they provide molecules that can be used in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industries.
"Therefore the creatures should be viewed as a resource rather than a pest."
Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets will form a fourth group to play a round-robin qualifier at Cardiff Arms Park on 26 July.
The top two regions will qualify for the Series Final at the Twickenham Stoop on 8 August.
"The regions have never played each other in a Sevens tournament before," said Mark Davies, the acting chief executive of Regional Rugby Wales.
We know for sure that Anglo-Welsh rugby contests ignite plenty of excitement and passion
"So there is a lot of pride at stake, as well as the opportunity of a place in the Series Final and the chance to be part of... the World Club Sevens at Twickenham in August."
The winner of the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series will go on to play in the World Club Sevens on 16 and 17 August at Twickenham.
The other three pools contain the 12 Aviva Premiership clubs, split along geographical lines.
Kingsholm hosts Gloucester, Bath, Exeter Chiefs, and London Irish in Group B, which takes place on 31 July.
Twenty four hours later Group C features Northampton Saints, Harlequins, London Wasps and Saracens at Franklin's Gardens.
Completing the group stages on 2 August at Kingston Park, Newcastle, Leicester Tigers, Sale Sharks and Worcester Warriors will battle it out in Group D.
Davies added: "Having announced our exciting three-year sponsorship agreement with BT Sport this week as well, it shows we have a positive partnership that will go forward between BT Sport and our four Welsh regions.
"We know for sure that Anglo-Welsh rugby contests ignite plenty of excitement and passion amongst our supporters and we hope our involvement will add a real edge to the event."
Gloucester are the defending champions, having won the Premiership Rugby Sevens by beating Leicester in the 2013 final.
Collins thundered home his spot-kick with 16 minutes remaining to ensure the spoils were shared after Lewis Alessandra's first goal for the club put Pools ahead.
Hartlepool did not look like a side with such a poor home record in the opening exchanges, taking the lead in the 12th minute.
Having been hauled over by Andre Blackman, Nathan Thomas failed to make it seven goals in as many games from the spot - yet Alessandra was on hand to head home the rebound.
Crawley were unfortunate not to level immediately as Enzio Boldewijn and Jimmy Smith rattled the woodwork in quick succession.
The Red Devils took control thereafter and equalised in the 74th minute, Collins netting having been pushed to the floor by Jake Carroll.
And Crawley were only denied a last-ditch winner by some brilliance from Hartlepool defender Scott Harrison, who somehow stopped Collins from tapping into an empty net after Billy Clifford's curler hit the crossbar.

Jordan Kenvyn, 26, from Dumfries, was driving on the wrong side of the road when his Renault Clio hit Barbara D'Amato's Fiat car in January 2014.
The crash happened on the A702, near Elvanfoot, South Lanarkshire.
A judge decided not to jail Kenvyn after deciding there was "exceptional mitigation" on hearing of his remorse.
Lady Scott had told Kenvyn, following his conviction in July, that a custodial sentence was likely.
However, when he appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh for sentencing, the judge decided to impose a three-year community payback order and ban him from driving for five years.
Lady Scott said: "As a consequence of your dangerous driving Mrs D'Amato lost her life and all her dreams for her retirement have been left unfulfilled.
"Her husband, two sons and her friend Mrs Ralph have all been left devastated.
"The background report is very positive. I consider it is unlikely you will re-offend and that you will forever regret your conduct. I consider this is exceptional mitigation.
Lady Scott added: "Despite the seriousness of this offence I have decided, exceptionally, that a prison sentence is not necessary."
The court previously heard that Kenvyn had been travelling at "very high speed" and had not been paying attention at the time of the crash.
He admitted that he was on the wrong side of the road but could offer no explanation as to why.
Mrs D'Amato's friend, Colette Ralph, 48, who was travelling with her, said: "It all happened so quickly. It was over in seconds.
"There was a loud bang and a violent jolt and the airbag was in my face. It took me a few seconds to register what happened.
"I couldn't get out of the front door. I climbed out of the back seat and tried to get out the back door. "
Mrs Ralph, a British ex-pat living in Switzerland, suffered abdominal injuries.
She was informed in hospital that her friend, 61-year-old Mrs D'Amato, had died after suffering facial injuries.
Mrs D'Amato, who lived in France, was visiting Scotland with a view to buying a property for her retirement.
Mrs Ralph said: "She had been planning to retire in Scotland. It was always her plan. Her intention was to come and live here."
The home side enjoyed the greater share of possession in the opening period, but home goalkeeper Josh Lillis was busier than Scunthorpe counterpart Matt Gilks, who did not have a save to make in the opening 45 minutes.
The Rochdale goal came under threat when a misjudged back pass by Jamie Allen from the halfway line looked short of legs, presenting an opportunity for Paddy Madden. Fortunately for Keith Hill's side, Lillis read the danger early and raced out of his area, winning the crucial challenge for the ball.
Lillis also saved well when Reece Brown's poor header let Josh Morris in down the left flank.
After the break, Dale improved with the introduction of striker Steven Davies and his diving header gave the home side the lead, the frontman meeting Ian Henderson's flick towards the back post.
It was a short-lived lead, however, as fellow sub Duane Holmes slipped a neat finish beneath Lillis.

United have not confirmed the injury, nor the length of time the 26-year-old could be sidelined for.
It is not known when the defender suffered the injury but it is believed to have occurred in training.
After the win at Swansea, United boss Jose Mourinho said Smalling "doesn't feel he can play 100% with his pain".
England interim manager Gareth Southgate subsequently left Smalling out of his squad for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley (19:45 GMT kick-off) and the friendly against Spain on Tuesday (20:00 GMT kick-off).
Smalling has played 11 times for United this season but has missed their past four games. Mourinho said the former Fulham player missed the EFL Cup win over Manchester City on 26 November with a minor ankle injury.

State media said Hwasong-12 rockets would pass over Japan and land in the sea about 30km (17 miles) from Guam, if the plan was approved by Kim Jong-un.
It denounced Donald Trump's warnings of "fire and fury" and said the US leader was "bereft of reason".
The US has warned the North its actions could mean the "end of its regime".
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said Pyongyang would be "grossly overmatched" in any war against the US and its allies.
The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, who is in Guam, says there is a sense that the North Korean threat is rhetorical, as most people feel that if they really did strike with missiles it would be suicidal for the North Korean regime.
The North first announced on Wednesday that it was drawing up plans for a missile strike against Guam, a Pacific island which is home to US military bases, strategic bombers and about 163,000 people.
A later statement carried by state media said the military would "finally complete the plan" by mid-August and report it to leader Kim Jong-un for his approval.
"The Hwasong-12 rockets to be launched by the KPA [Korean People's Army] will cross the sky above Shimane, Hiroshima and Koichi [Kochi] Prefectures of Japan," state news agency KCNA said, quoting army chief General Kim Rak Gyom.
"They will fly 3,356.7km for 1,065 seconds and hit the waters 30-40km away from Guam."
The Hwasong missiles are North Korea's domestically produced medium and long-range weapons.
The governor of Guam addressed the North's new statement on Thursday, telling Reuters news agency that North Korea usually likes to be unpredictable and has fired surprise missiles in the past.
"They're now telegraphing their punch, which means they don't want to have any misunderstandings. I think that's a position of fear," said Governor Eddie Calvo.
North Korean state media also said President Trump's remarks on Tuesday that the North risked "fire and fury" for threatening the US were "a load of nonsense".
"Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him," it added.
Amid escalating rhetoric, Mr Mattis issued a strongly worded statement on Wednesday calling on Pyongyang to halt its arms programme.
"The DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons," he said.
"While our state department is making every effort to resolve this global threat through diplomatic means, it must be noted that the combined allied militaries now possess the most precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth."
End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump
Mr Trump boasted about America's atomic arsenal earlier on Wednesday.
Tweeting from New Jersey where he is on holiday, the president said the US nuclear stockpile was "more powerful than ever before".
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has sought to reassure Americans that North Korea does not pose an imminent threat.
Speaking in Guam, where he was making a scheduled visit, he said he was hopeful a global "pressure campaign" involving Russia and China could lead to new dialogue with Pyongyang "about a different future".
Mr Tillerson said the situation had not dramatically changed over the past few days, and that Americans "should sleep well at night".
South Korea's military has said it has not seen any unusual action in the North that might indicate a provocation.
China has urged calm, describing the situation as "complex and sensitive".
Despite rounds of UN sanctions, Pyongyang carried out two nuclear tests last year and two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July.
Various reports recently have suggested the North has now achieved its goal of making a nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside its missiles.
But this remains unconfirmed, and most analysts doubt the country would launch a pre-emptive attack on the US.
Details of future ideas and strategy were outlined by Mr Spiegel in emails to Michael Lynton, a Sony executive who sits on Snapchat's board.
Also included were details, including financial data, on previously unpublicised acquisitions.
"I felt like I was going to cry all morning," Mr Spiegel said in a memo.
"I went on a walk and thought through a couple things."
Mr Spiegel later shared on Twitter the emotional note he sent to Snapchat's employees, entitled Keeping Secrets.
"I've been feeling a lot of things since our business plans were made public last night," he wrote.
"Definitely angry. Definitely devastated.
"I want to give you all a huge hug because keeping secrets is exhausting.
"Keeping secrets means coming home late, after working all day and night. Curling up with your loved ones, hanging out with your friends, and not being able to share all of the incredible things you're working on. It's painful, it's tiring."
The leak detailed big ambitions for the popular app which allows users to send messages - images or video - that disappear after a short period of time.
According to the emails, the company purchased Vergence Labs, an eyewear company that produced a product comparable to Google Glass.
Snapchat also spent millions on Scan.me, a firm specialising in QR codes and advertising platform iBeacon.
Mr Spiegel's staff memo does not comment on the acquisitions, nor does it suggest the company planned to take any legal action against Sony or any other party.
Sony Pictures' legal woes are beginning to mount after the hack attack that has seen it cancel plans to release The Interview, a comedy about North Korea.
Earlier this week, two former Sony Pictures employees filed a lawsuit accusing the company of not properly securing private data.
Around 15,000 employees had personal information, including social security numbers, leaked following the hack.
Sony Pictures said the attack was "unprecedented", and that the threat was "undetectable by industry-standard antivirus software".
Mr Spiegel has said he will spend some time being "angry and upset" before getting back to work.
"It's not fair that the people who try to build us up and break us down get a glimpse of who we really are.
"It's not fair that people get to take away all the hard work we've done to surprise our community, family and friends."

"The singing shall be mandatory and must be done with fervour," the bill states. The word "mandatory" is not in the existing legislation.
It also provides official music for the tune, which must be adhered to.
Punishment for breaking the rules could include a fine of 50,000-100,000 pesos (£780-£1,560; $2,800-$5,590).
That fine is substantially more than the current minimum and maximum of 5,000-20,000 pesos (£78-£312).
Offenders will also be issued a warning before being publicly "named and shamed" in a national newspaper.
"Any act which casts contempt, dishonour or ridicule upon the national anthem shall be penalised," the bill says.
The bill makes a wide range of other stipulations, including that everyone must stand and salute when the first note of the song, Lupang Hinirang, is played - and requiring the school system to ensure every student memorises the words.
It has now been sent to the country's other house of parliament, the senate, for approval.
Commenting on an earlier version of the bill in April, one of its authors, Maximo Rodriguez Jr, said disrespecting the national anthem often happens in cinemas, where customers do not stand for the anthem.
"The national anthem embodies and expresses the aspirations, dreams, ideals, longings, commitment and determination, nationalism and patriotism, sentiment and spirit of the people," he said.
The same bill, known as the revised flag and heraldic code, contains many other rules about the display of the national flag and other emblems.
It includes several proposals from a 2010 draft to criminalise improper singing of the national anthem, including a strict requirement to keep the timing between 100 and 120 beats per minute.
Mr Shorten's centre-left Australian Labor Party (ALP) vowed to "employ Australians first" in the advert released on Sunday.
However, the video was widely criticised for the people it chose to feature, a majority of whom were white.
Mr Shorten denied racism, but conceded the video lacked diversity.
Another Labor frontbencher, Anthony Albanese, described the advert as a "shocker" and said it should "never have been produced".
The video featured Mr Shorten criticising his political opponent, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, over domestic job opportunities.
But discussion quickly turned to who was pictured alongside Mr Shorten.
The government accused Mr Shorten's party of trying to appeal to conservative voters, while left-wing Greens politician Sarah Hanson-Young said the video was "just awful".
Mr Shorten dismissed accusations of racism as "rubbish", but said his party would show more diversity in future.
"I've had a look at the final production and I think we should have had more diversity in it and I will be speaking to the Labor Party about that," he said.
Mr Albanese said he had not seen the advert before it aired on the local Nine network.
"I think anyone who sees it knows exactly what's wrong with it," he said.
The 70-year-old former Poland international had been in charge of the Carthage Eagles since July 2015.
The Tunisians were knocked out of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations by Burkina Faso in the quarter-finals in Gabon.
Last month they lost in Monastir 1-0 to African champions Cameroon and then away in Morocco by the same score line.
The Tunisia Football Federation have said that a successor will be named "by the end of the month."
They begin their campaign to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals with a game at home against Egypt.
Then at the end of September they face home and away 2018 World Cup qualifiers against the DR Congo, both sides have won their two matches so far with wins over Guinea and Libya.
The Department for Energy calculates this is the potential of a technology known as the water source heat pump.
This relies on a heat exchanger, which uses a system akin to refrigeration to amplify warmth from pipes in the sea.
If the energy from the process comes from renewables, properties can be warmed with near-zero carbon emissions.
The government’s water source heat map identifies more than six gigawatts of potential low-carbon heat.
One major project – at the National Trust’s historic Plas Newydd house in Anglesey – is already running.
Launching the new map at Battersea Power Station in London today, Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said: “We need to make the most of the vast amount of clean, renewable heat that lays unused in our rivers, lakes and seas.
“Doing this will help contribute to an energy mix that maximises clean, reliable home-grown resources rather than relying on foreign fossil fuels.”
Battersea Power Station is the latest developer to announce it will be looking into installing a heat pump.
Richard Parry, chief executive of the Canal and River Trust, the charity that cares for 2,000 miles of waterways in England and Wales, said: “This recognises the huge potential of water-sourced heat pumps to deliver a low carbon solution to the UK’s heating and cooling demands.
“We have a number of innovative projects on our canals and rivers.
"These are delivering benefits for waterside businesses and the environment and proving again that, 200 years after they were built, the waterways are still bringing a whole range of benefits to the nation.”
The heat pump system works best in well-insulated buildings because there is a large energy cost in warming the water to the level normally used in central heating radiators.
In the case of Plas Newydd it is ideal because the Trust doesn’t want the house to get too hot.
The 300kW marine source heat pump cost the Trust £600,000 and is expected to save around £40,000 a year in operating costs.
At Plas Newyydd, pipes have been laid into the Menai Straits, the narrow stretch of water which separates the island of Anglesey from mainland Wales.
The pipes are filled with a refrigerant heat transport chemical. The fluid extracts heat from the sea and releases it into the heat pump.
The fluid is compressed to increase the temperature further to heat the property. The pressure of the fluid is then lowered via an expansion valve and the process starts again.
A National Heat Map will be published at the end of June, showing the rivers in England that have the highest potential for water source heat pumps.
The map refers only to England, but DECC is in discussions with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on the issue.

The 15-year-old from Castlederg, County Tyrone, disappeared after a school disco in 1994.
Police have cordoned off an area near Killen, outside Castlederg, close to where she was last seen alive.
Farmer Noel Doherty said clay had been dug up and refilled with stones.
The field is on the same road where Arlene Arkinson was seen in a car with the convicted child killer and rapist Robert Howard, the main suspect in her disappearance.
Robert Howard, who died in prison in England last year, was found not guilty in 2005 of murdering Arlene Arkinson.
The farmer, who rents the land where the search is ongoing, said he discovered what appeared to be a grave in the overgrown garden of an old building on the land earlier this week.
"Somebody had dug out the clay and then refilled it with stones and that's what got my attention to it," he said.
"It's about six feet long and about three-to-four feet wide with stones."
Mr Doherty, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, said that when he first came across the disturbed earth, he "didn't think a great deal about it" but went home and told his wife.
"I went back down the next day and viewed it again and we decided then to contact the landowner," he said.
"I asked him if anything was ever buried in that garden and he checked it out with his sisters who were the last to live there and they said definitely not."
The landowner then phoned the police.
A specialist forensic team arrived on the site on Friday morning, and police say it may take some time to complete their examination.
Mr Doherty said he was keeping an open mind until police completed their examinations but said he would like the Arkinson family to "get back their daughter".
He said: "Everybody has it in the back of their minds, is this the Arkinson girl?"
Arlene's sister Kathleen said news of the search "just came out of the blue", telling the BBC that while the family could never get justice for Arlene, they could at least get closure. | LG has revealed a phone that takes wide-angle selfies and an updated 4G smartwatch, now running on Android.

Alexander Monson, 28, died while he was in police custody in Diani, Mombasa.
Kenyan Police have denied any involvement and said he died of a drugs overdose while Mr Monson's family argue he died from a head injury.
Giving evidence in Mombasa, Hilary Monson said her son's death came as a "great shock".
Alexander Monson was the son of Nicholas, the 12th Baron Monson and had moved to Kenya to live with his mother in 2008.
An inquest into his death was opened and adjourned in February to give the family more time to study police statements.
Mrs Monson told the hearing she received a call on 19 May, 2012, to say her son had been arrested after a night out with friends on suspicion of smoking bhang, a form of cannabis.
She was later told her son had been found on the floor of the police station convulsing.
Mrs Monson said she visited her son in hospital where he was chained to a bed.
"He was having very great difficulty breathing," she said.
"I sat with him and in about an hour he was dead."
Hilary told the Mombasa Law Courts that hospital workers found multiple injuries on his head and scrotum.
She said: "My son was a gentleman. He was polite and would never have been aggressive.
"He was a loving person and it was a great shock to discover that he had died violently, which is a very difficult thing for a mother to cope with."
Mrs Monson admitted Alexander had drug problems in England but that he had started getting his life together.
An independent pathologist hired by the family found Mr Monson died from a fatal blow to the back of his head.
Toxicology reports also showed he had no drugs in his system at the time of his death.
Lord Nicholas Monson has previously said he believes senior police figures are responsible for his son's death, but claims they are being protected by political allies.
The inquest continues.
The study, led by researchers at Edinburgh University, is said to be offering clues about how the mutation increases the risk of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.
Experts said the findings could help in the hunt for new treatments.
The study is published in the Nature partner journal Schizophrenia.
As part of the project, the team scanned the brains of people who have a specific genetic mutation that causes part of one chromosome to swap places with another.
The mutation results in disruption of a gene called DISC1, which is associated with recurrent major depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Experts found those with the mutation had changes in the structure of their brains, changes which were ultimately linked with the severity of their symptoms of mental ill-health.
The study also showed carriers of the mutation had lower levels of the chemical glutamate in parts of their brain.
Previous studies have pointed to a strong link between reduced glutamate levels and schizophrenia.
Researchers said their findings confirm that the DISC1 mutation is associated with a "significantly increased risk" of psychiatric illness.
The mutation was first identified in a Scottish family that showed unusually high rates of major psychiatric disorders.
Scientists have been studying generations of the family for four decades but this was the first time they have scanned their brains.
Prof Stephen Lawrie, head Edinburgh University's division of psychiatry, said: "This study confirms and extends the genetics of DISC1 and shows how that and similar genetic effects can increase the risk of major mental illnesses."
The study is funded by the Translational Medicine Research Collaboration.
Civilians acting as unofficial guards have appeared outside some centres since five service personnel were shot dead last week in Tennessee.
Military personnel are generally barred from carrying firearms at recruitment centres and bases.
The Pentagon says it appreciates the support but armed civilians could pose an unintended security risk.
"While we greatly appreciate the outpouring of support for our recruiters from the American public, we ask that individuals not stand guard at recruiting offices as it could adversely impact our mission, and potentially create unintended security risks," said spokesman Peter Cook in a statement.
"We continue to partner with and rely on first responders for the safety of the communities where our service members live and work."
US authorities say 24-year-old gunman Muhammed Youssef Abdulazeez acted alone when he attacked two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five US service members.
Abdulazeez was shot and killed by police during the attack. His motive was unclear.
Since then, armed civilians - some of them members of private militias - have turned up outside recruitment centres saying they are supporting those inside.
One group appeared in Cleburne, Texas, armed with assault rifles and calling themselves Operation Hero Guard.
In Lancaster, Ohio, armed civilians were ordered off the property after one accidentally discharged his rifle into the pavement.
US officials say there is no indication of further danger to recruitment centres and the government does not intend to change the way they are staffed.
On Friday Belfast Crown Court heard he must serve the minimum tariff before he can be considered for release.
Howell, 51, from Castlerock, pleaded guilty to the double murders.
The bodies of Lesley Howell, 31, and Trevor Buchanan, 32, were found in a car full of exhaust fumes in 1991.
It was initially thought that they had died in a suicide pact.
In sentencing Howell Mr Justice Hart said he had carried out "truly heinous crimes".
He described the "the cold blooded, carefully planned and ruthlessly executed double murder of two people who Howell saw as standing in the way of his adulterous desire to be with Hazel Buchanan (Stewart)".
"Each murder was carried out when the victim was asleep and thus entirely defenceless," he said.
"Even when they stirred in their sleep, Howell did not draw back and spare their lives, but physically subdued their faint signs of approaching consciousness, thereby ensuring their deaths," the judge added.
In his summary Mr Justice Hart said two innocent people were murdered and six children deprived of the love of their mother or their father.
"The reputations of their innocent parents, who had already been wronged by Mr Howell, were further stigmatised by the false implication that they had taken their own lives in a suicide pact".
Mr Justice Hart said he had read victim impact statements from two of Mr Howell's children, from Lesley Howell's brother, and from members of Trevor Buchanan's family which showed that many lives had been gravely affected for many years by the murders.
The court was also told that, while the prosecution accept that Mr Howell was not motivated by money when he committed the murders, he had been in financial difficulties at the time and profited financially from his wife's death.
Overcome
Mr Howell inherited her estate and that of her father who had died a few days before, as well as receiving the proceeds of a number of insurance policies.
As a result he received various sums amounting to just over £414,000.
At the outset Mr Justice Hart clarified that Mrs Stewart had pleaded not guilty to both counts of murder. Her trial is due to begin on 7 February 2011.
He said that Mrs Stewart accepted she and Mr Howell were engaged in an adulterous relationship for some time prior to the murders, and that it continued on for several years before each of them subsequently remarried.
Mrs Stewart disputed the intensity of their relationship after the murders.
The judge said he did not propose to refer to her alleged role in the events leading up to, and during the murders, as this will have to be considered by the jury during the trial.
Mr Justice Hart considered it was not necessary to await the outcome Mrs Stewart's trial before fixing the minimum term which Howell must serve, as admissions had clearly set out his role.
On Monday, Belfast Crown Court was told how Lesley Howell called out to her six-year-old son, Matthew, as her husband gassed her.
Details of how Mr Buchanan struggled with his killer before becoming overcome with fumes were also made public.
The case was re-opened last year when Howell handed himself in at a police station.
The court heard that he kept the secret for almost 20 years before eventually confessing to detectives after losing more than £350,000 in a bid to find missing gold in the Philippines - a project which turned out to be a scam.
Howell, a father of 10, was a highly-acclaimed dentist and a lay-preacher.
The court was told that in recent years Howell had "realised he was a fake" and wanted to be "real", and that is why he confessed to the police.
The firm is charging £5 ($6) for 10 minutes or £15 for a half hour in-store trial.
Game said that the fee is refundable against headset orders, and enabled it to employ dedicated staff for the demo stands.
Sony is conducting a UK-wide free demo tour.
It said the decision to charge was "at the discretion" of the retailer.
Jamie Feltham from virtual reality news website Upload VR said he was blocked by Game's Twitter account after retweeting a promotional tweet from one of its stores over the weekend with the comment "this is not cool".
"I think it's not a good practice," he told the BBC about the charges.
"I work in VR so I'm interested in what's healthy for VR - and I don't think it's healthy to attach that image of it being a premium experience at that level.
"We should encourage people to see it for free, give them an amazing experience and then let them decide for themselves whether to buy it."
Twitter users expressed their frustration at the charges using the hashtag GameVR, which Game was also using to promote them.
"If there's one thing VR really needs, it's another paywall," tweeted game designer Mike Bithell.
"Disgraceful," said Bored...meh.
However some expressed their support.
"If you don't already own a PSVR, but might [want] to buy one, surely to goodness paying £5 to try it is much better than paying £350+ to then find out it... doesn't do what you wanted it to do," said a tweeter called KnucklePuck McDorian.
In a statement, Game said: "The payment allows us to ensure that we have dedicated staff manning the PlayStation VR pods who have been fully trained to adhere to best practice demo guidelines.
"The demos are intended to give our customers access to one of the most exciting new gaming technologies in 2016 and provide them with the opportunity to get a feel for VR before they commit to buy."
The headset, which Game is retailing at £349.99, is not as good as some of its rivals, Mr Feltham said.
"I think it's great, it's not on the level of Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive - but for the money it's a good system," he added.

It was in 1974 when a then 19-year-old Mr Abney first started working for the world's largest parcel delivery firm.
A business student at Delta State University in Mississippi, at night he would work at the local UPS depot, loading packages onto vans. By day he would sleep between lectures on a sofa in the student lounge.
He was tired, but he had money to take his girlfriend out for a meal.
After graduating in 1976, while many of his friends applied for more typical graduate jobs, Mr Abney decided to go full-time with his low level UPS job.
He says he had become fascinated with how the US business worked, how through teamwork it could deliver parcels on time across the States and around the world.
Soon promoted to a UPS driver, and then a supervisor, over the next 40 years he continued to move up through the business, until, in 2014, he was appointed chief executive.
Mr Abney, a born and bred Mississippian, puts his success down to his deep Southern roots, willingness to work hard, and pride in the company. Others also cite his desire to learn about every single part of the business.
Another key factor behind Mr Abney's success was having a good mentor, someone to guide, advise and inspire him.
This was a small town UPS manager, who to this day remains a close confidant.
"He saw something in me that I could not see in myself, and he took a lot of time, and gave me a lot of attention," Mr Abney says.
"We still talk," he adds, describing not unconditional support, but a mentor who was always there to give advice that he "needed to hear".
The advice helped carry him to UPS's headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, where he would go on to oversee the group's aviation division, and its fleet of 500 planes.
He then headed the firm's entire international division, which in the early 2000s saw him lead UPS's expansion into China. Mr Abney would take 10 trips a year to the country, meeting local businesses and government officials to learn how things worked, and where the company would need to adapt.
In 2007 he was appointed chief operating officer, and then chief executive seven years later.
When Mr Abney's predecessor Scott Davis got the top job in 2008, there was some media speculation that Mr Abney and other senior managers who missed out would leave UPS.
But as Jeffrey Rosensweig, a business professor at Emory University in Atlanta, points out, the culture of jumping from company to company to secure promotions doesn't fit with either UPS or Mr Abney.
Instead people are loyal to the business, and the successful move around a lot internally.
"It's a culture [at UPS] that has more in common with Japanese culture, or military culture, where, if you are doing well, they move you so that you learn more of the business," says Prof Rosensweig.
"David had to be flexible, he had to learn. I think people [at the company] see him as talented, but still one of their own.
"They know whatever they are doing that is hard, he has done it too."
Going forward, one of UPS and Mr Abney's biggest challenges is to deal with increased competition from the likes of Amazon, which is greatly increasing its own in-house delivery business.
Like Amazon, UPS is researching delivery by drones. But Mr Abney thinks that such flying deliveries would be more useful in the developing world.
"In places like Rwanda, where 70% of the roads can be washed out by floods, I think drones can be a big help, but I don't expect that we'll see 10,000 drones flying over Atlanta," he says.
In the meantime, UPS - which has a workforce of 440,000 people - had net profits of $4.9bn (£3.7bn) last year, up 11% from $4.4bn in 2014.
Mr Abney says that UPS hasn't been "a job or a career, it's a way of life".
And he hopes that, in the future, another person who started at the very bottom of UPS can lead the company.
"We focus on promotion from within and giving people opportunities and it's amazing to see people grow and develop over the years," he says.
"So I know it's still possible for someone to move up to CEO the way I did."
Growing up in the tiny city of Greenwood, Mississippi (population just 16,000), Mr Abney was the son of an insurance salesman father and homemaker mother.
He says he was determined to work hard in life and make something of himself. "I'm a big believer that you have to take the hand you're dealt," he adds.
He is proud of his Mississippi heritage, and gives to charities in the state.
He also regularly returns to Delta State University, where he is a member of the board of directors for the university's foundation, and sponsors an annual business conference at the college.
But what happened to the childhood sweetheart, who was called Sherry? They became Mr and Mrs Abney, and remain happily married four decades later.
And with Mr Abney earning more than $10m last year, paying for dinner isn't a problem any more.
Ministers are under pressure to commit to a Nato target of spending at least 2% of GDP on defence, and new figures are expected to show the UK currently spending more than 2.1%.
But this total will include some of a £1bn cross-departmental Conflict Pool, a government source told BBC political correspondent Carole Walker.
Nato has approved the move, she added.
The Ministry of Defence provides about £450m of the costs of the Conflict Pool, which is managed with the Foreign Office and the Department for International Development.
According to the government, the pool "will draw on the most effective combination of defence, diplomacy, development assistance, and national security assets" to "promote peace and stability and to tackle threats to UK interests arising from instability overseas".
Some Conservative MPs, and former military generals, have called on the government to commit to continuing to meet the target for Nato members to spend over 2% of their economic output on defence.
Speaking on Sunday, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC's Marr Show the latest figures would show the UK spending "comfortably over" this amount.
When pressed on whether the UK would continue to meet that target, he said: "We can't set the budget on this programme, we set the budget in September, then you'll have your answer.
"But we already have three very strong commitments in our manifesto to go on increasing spend on equipment, to go on replacing the four ballistic submarines, and not to cut the Army further.
"There is your commitment."
Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said it was not fair to include contributions to the Conflict Pool in defence expenditure.
"We are facing a very much more dangerous world than we did in 2010 and it looks like what the government is doing is raiding a whole series of accounts and saying 'we didn't include those in the defence budget in the past but in order to make up the 2% and satisfy people like me, we are going to raid those accounts'," he told the BBC News Channel.
While it may be "perfectly legitimate" under Nato rules, Sir Gerald said it would not "allay concerns" both among sections of the British military and foreign allies about the UK's ability to fulfil its commitments on the world stage.
UKIP said the changes to the defence budget calculation amounted to "little more than creative accounting".
The party's defence spokesman Mike Hookem said: "Our view is that the defence budget should be spent on troops, equipment and essential care, such as decent housing and healthcare for personnel and their families."
Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews insisted the case was "compelling and widely accepted".
But opposition is widespread and varied, even within his own party.
Flintshire deputy leader Bernie Attridge described it as "political suicide" adding Welsh Labour needed "urgent change at the top".
The future for the north is still uncertain with proposals suggesting either two super authorities comprising Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy in the north west, and Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire in the north east.
An alternative allows further consultation over three councils, with Denbighshire joining with Conwy instead.
Leading councillors suggested that the two authorities proposal could deliver a Plaid Cymru stronghold to the west and Labour to the east.
Others questioned whether Gwynedd's policy strongly promoting the Welsh language could be put at risk from a merger with authorities with a less strict approach.
Geoff Edkins, Unison's regional organiser, said that estimates based on the Welsh Local Government Association's figures, warned of 15,000 workers in Wales facing redundancy in merged authorities, including around 4,000 in north Wales.
Wednesday's announcement has prolonged the uncertainty for the union's members in the north.
Financial pressures on council spending has already prompted some to look to close or to privatise services, he said, like libraries, leisure, welfare rights and home care.
"Whether the outcome is two or three authorities in north Wales is uncertain and will remain so till after the assembly elections and possibly up till 2020. Yet sticking as we are isn't tenable," he said.
"The greatest fear for our members is the loss of jobs and privatisation. They wonder just what services will be left to be merged."
Hugh Evans the independent leader of Denbighshire council said that merging the county into a new authority with Flintshire and Wrexham was his "worst fear realised".
Denbighshire and Conwy had reached a voluntary agreement for merger which was earlier rejected by Leighton Andrews.
But he is now suggesting that the arrangement could go out to consultation in a model of three new north Wales authorities.
Mr Evans said the scale of the two council models in the north would be a major concern and saw a 'glimmer of light' in the further consultation.
"There are also the cultural and linguistic differences with the strong urban industrial areas against the rural areas, particularly in Denbighshire," he said.
"It should be about how best to deliver local services not about boundaries," he said, adding that the Williams Commission which drew up proposals for 10 or 11 authorities "seemed to be a complete waste of time and money".
"Two authorities would take communities further away from the decision makers. I would be really concerned. Haven't we learned the lessons of the Betsi Cadwaladr health board?
"This whole process is a distraction beyond 2020 when we should be concentrating on providing services."
But Dyfed Edwards, Plaid Cymru leader of Gwynedd council, said that reform of the map of local government was essential and needed political leadership in all parties.
He added: "Will someone please get on with it? If the status quo isn't sustainable, then tell us what is.
"I think personally one council for north west and one for north east Wales makes sense in terms of spatial planning.
"The big question is over health and social care, where we have a health board across the whole of north Wales."
Mr Andrews said no final decisions had been taken.
"The case in north Wales is finely balanced between two or three local authorities. We therefore feel that there is a case for a further debate and would welcome views," he said.
"I want to emphasise this is not a final decision. It is the next phase in our public debate."
General Joseph Votel, head of US Central Command, spent about 11 hours in northern Syria.
He met US military advisers and the leaders of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), made up of Kurdish and Arab rebel forces.
The US wants local forces to defeat the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, which holds territory in the country.
Speaking after the visit, Gen Votel said training local forces to fight IS was the right approach.
"I left with increased confidence in their capabilities and our ability to support them. I think that model is working and working well," he said.
The SDF comprises about 25,000 Kurdish fighters and about 5,000 Arab fighters. The US is hoping to increase the number of Arabs in the force.
Arab commanders who spoke to journalists during the visit said their forces needed more help.
SDF Deputy Commander Qarhaman Hasan said he wanted armoured vehicles, machine guns, rocket launchers and mortars.
The SDF currently had to rely on smuggling to get weapons, he said.
"You can't run an army on smuggling," he added.
Tribal leaders also called on the US to do more, both militarily and with humanitarian aid.
The US has about 200 military advisers in Syria, where 270,000 people have died in five years of civil war.
Archaeologists from National Museums Scotland and the University of Aberdeen's Northern Picts project made the find at an undisclosed spot.
It contains more than 100 pieces.
The discovery has been hailed as the most northern of its kind in Europe. and will now be researched and catalogued.
Elements of the hoard will be on display for the first time at the University of Aberdeen from 20 January to 31 May.
The already saturated ground was topped up by further overnight rain.
Following a 12:30 BST inspection, match umpires Ian Gould and Richard Illingworth had no option but to abandon play again.
And given the forecast for Wednesday, it is unlikely that there will be any play on the final day either.
Meetings between Worcestershire and Kent have been blighted by bad weather since Worcester's great flood in 2007.
All four days were lost at New Road, as was the case in the next home game against Lancashire, and only the final day's play was possible in the return Kent-Worcestershire game at Canterbury later in the season.
Also, in 2014, the last time the clubs met in the Championship, at Tunbridge Wells, only 17 overs were bowled on the final three days.
Worcestershire head groundsman Tim Packwood:
"The ground was playable on Friday. If anything, the rain on Saturday afternoon was a lot heavier than anticipated.
"That probably topped it up to the levels where it was touch and go on Monday as to whether the players would get on.
"But there were just areas of the ground where, the best way to describe it, was that it had turned to like a jelly-blancmange.
"When you put your foot down, it wasn't actually wet on the surface but the ground was starting to move because of the height of the water table."
Pools were given a shock penalty, with Mark Hughes subsequently sent off, after an hour with Deverdics scoring the follow-up after Elliot Parish saved Padraig Amond's spot-kick.
And Alessandra added a second in injury time to secure the points.
Accrington dominated the opening period, Billy Kee spurning three golden chances either side of Alessandra forcing a smart stop from Parish.
But the game turned when referee Richard Clark intervened, apparently adjudging Hughes to have pulled back Amond amid Toto Nsiala seeing a header brilliantly saved.
Amond missed the spot-kick but, after Accrington denied two subsequent efforts in a scramble, the ball set up for Deverdics to unfurl a sublime bicycle kick.
Parish then made two fine saves to keep Accrington afloat, and they almost levelled as Paddy Lacey saw a header cleared off the line before Trevor Carson brilliantly denied Romuald Boco.
Stanley's misery was compounded when Alessandra slotted home Amond's fine cross in injury time.

Jesse Hawthorne, 23, from Caerphilly, posted it on Facebook six weeks after the early morning row.
The details emerged during his trial at Caerphilly Magistrates' Court for four counts of criminal damage which he was cleared of.
Hawthorne is due to be sentenced for the picture post on 7 October.
On Friday, the court heard Hawthorne was born as Jessica and had been in a lesbian relationship with the woman for two-and-a-half years before deciding to undergo a sex change.
Three months after their break up, he turned up at her house party to get his Pug back.
During the exchange on 2 May, her car damaged but magistrates ruled Hawthorne was not responsible.
The court heard he has already pleaded guilty to one count of disclosing a private sexual photograph or film with the intention of causing distress and could face jail.
Mr Durkan was addressing the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday.
When questioned about whether his department is now open to legal challenge, he said he would robustly defend its decision in the courts.
He said he trusted that other ministers would be reluctant to waste public money on a protracted legal battle.
He said he brought the plan to the executive on several occasions.
The only issue raised related to the restriction on the sale of bulky goods at any further expansion of the Sprucefield retail area near Lisburn, he said.
The plan, BMAP, is a framework for greater Belfast.
It identifies zones for retail, residential or commercial development. The plan affects almost 40% of the Northern Ireland population.
Last week, Mr Durkan said he had approved the plan without the agreement of all his colleagues in the executive.
The DUP had previously said that BMAP was a cross-cutting matter relevant to more than one department and should have the agreement of the whole executive.
The minister confirmed that some of his executive colleagues were unhappy with the retail zoning given to Sprucefield near Lisburn.
The BMAP treatment of Sprucefield limits future expansion to "bulky goods" only, which would mean a proposed John Lewis shop could not be built there.
The plan covers not just Belfast but outlying areas such as Carrickfergus, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and North Down.
The Welsh Government said it supported the idea and was looking at "a broad range of views" on the issue.
It comes as Environment Secretary Michael Gove announced proposals on CCTV being required in every slaughterhouse in England in all areas where live animals are present.
RSPCA Cymru has called for the measures to be "brought forward" in Wales.
Under the new plans for England, which aim to ensure high animal welfare standards, vets will also have unrestricted access to footage.
Mr Gove has launched a consultation on the proposals.
The Welsh Government said: "We note with interest the launch of the consultation in England and will continue to keep in regular contact with Defra to see how the consultation progresses.
"We are currently considering all responses to the report of the Safeguarding Animal Welfare at Slaughter Task and Finish Group, set up to consider the implementation of CCTV in Welsh slaughterhouses.
"The cabinet secretary also asked the Wales Animal Health and Welfare Framework Group to look into this specific issue
"We will take into account the findings of the framework group, in addition to a broad range of views from all sides of the debate, before deciding on further action."
It added that the "vast majority" of livestock in Wales was slaughtered in facilities that already have the surveillance.
Claire Lawson, RSPCA assistant director of external relations in Wales, said it welcomed the Welsh Government's support but would "like to see measures brought forward which make this mandatory".
"The Welsh Government could protect animals being slaughtered from possible mistreatment, and slaughterhouse staff from any unfounded allegations, by backing the implementation of mandatory CCTV in abattoirs," Ms Lawson said.
She added that the RSPCA had produced a report in response to the task and finish group report, expressing "significant concerns with their evidence base and conclusions", and was waiting for a reply.
The 27-year-old was player of the year in his first season at Molineux in 2013-14 when Jackett's side won the League One title.
But he has fallen out of favour this term and has not played since 8 March.
"He's disappointed that he hasn't been playing but he's professional and has worked hard in training," said Jackett.
"We've had discussions about his overall situation. He understands there has to be some type of summing up. That will be this week. We'll talk about it and we'll see what happens."
McDonald has been linked with a move to Scottish Championship winners Rangers. But Jackett insists it is the formation he has used in midfield that has led to McDonald's continued exclusion.
"We need to be able to work to a two," he said. "We need to play next year and have enough where we can have a second forward, a very offensive number 10, that's where I want to get to.
"How does that impact on my central midfield? I'm looking for the right pair.
"It depends very much depends on how the conversations go, how we shape our squad, exactly what we have to spend and where we need to improve."
Meanwhile, Wolves have released six players, as well as allowing their two loan players, striker Adam Le Fondre, and goalkeeper Emi Martinez to return to their respective clubs.
Martinez goes back to parent club Arsenal, while Wolves have opted not to take up an option to buy Le Fondre following the end of his own season-long loan.
Wingers Zeli Ismail and Razak Boukari, strikers Liam McAlinden and Bjorn Sigurdarson, midfielder Tommy Rowe, who has been out on loan at Doncaster, and reserve keeper Aaron McCarey have all been let go too.
The American institution that was slowly brought to its knees by a combination of evolving cultural tastes, bad luck and political enemies that left it no longer financially viable.
For the performers, it also means the end of a tight-knit community that travelled and lived on a train in between shows.

Irwin Mitchell said Helen Reynolds, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, was admitted to Spire Manchester Hospital last year.
Mrs Reynolds, 50, said she was then in pain for a year and had to have further surgery to have the tubing removed.
Spire Healthcare said patients' welfare and safety was its top priority but was unable to comment on individual cases.
Mrs Reynolds was admitted to the hospital in January last year but two months after surgery she "started to suffer from excruciating pain", Irwin Mitchell said.
It said her GP diagnosed cysts on her ovaries and further to this, a scan in May this year revealed an object inside her.
Mrs Reynolds told the BBC she had arthritis in her knees and back and paid for gastric bypass surgery so she could lose weight and ease the condition.
She said following the surgery she was taking painkillers "for quite a few months" and could not leave the house because of pains in her stomach.
Speaking through the law firm, she said: "I am flabbergasted at how this has happened to me.
"I suffered for months and months with excruciating pain in my stomach, which I can only describe as like labour pains."
Irwin Mitchell said to have the tubing inside her for a year constituted "a 'never event' according to national Patient Safety Guidelines which recognise that such occurrences are unacceptable and completely preventable if the appropriate procedures have been implemented".
The law firm said it was at the investigation stage, compiling medical evidence.
In a statement, Spire Healthcare said it took the responsibility of the welfare and safety of patients "very seriously" and "set extremely high standards" across every aspect of its hospitals.
About 250 people gathered in Leeds' City Square chanting 'time to go, Massimo', with numbers swelling as the march headed to Elland Road.
Protest organisers, the Time To Go Massimo group, said it was time to "end the farce" of chairman Massimo Cellino's ownership.
The club are yet to comment on the march.
Organisers said ex-Leeds manager and current Reading boss Brian McDermott "will return to our club to discover that Leeds United very much remains the circus that he left behind".
Mr Cellino agreed in principle to sell his majority share to supporters' group Leeds Fans United last October, but changed his mind a week later.
A recent tribunal involving former club employee Lucy Ward heard Cellino told a third party that women "should be in the bedroom or the beautician's" instead of in football.
In a statement, the club said Mr Cellino denied making the comment.
At Elland Road, Leeds United beat Reading 3-2.
Only, they were not actually bird watchers - that was just a cover. These were socialists from all over Europe, meeting to discuss ways to bring peace to a continent ravaged by World War One.
Two of the most famous participants were Russian: Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, or Lenin, and Leon Trotsky.
Their peace campaign made secrecy necessary: opposing the war was viewed as treason in many countries.
Lenin and Trotsky were already political refugees. They were both living in neutral Switzerland - Trotsky in Geneva and Lenin in Berne, quietly planning the overthrow of Tsarist Russia.
Today, Zimmerwald is not much changed from that day in 1915.
It is a sleepy little place, population 1,100, with a few farms, a church, and the Alps soaring majestically across the valley.
And for 100 years there was no sign that the founders of the Bolshevik Revolution had ever set foot there.
Thousands of kilometres to the east, however, Zimmerwald gradually became famous.
In classrooms across the Soviet Union, the village was being celebrated as the birthplace of the revolution.
"In the Soviet Union, Zimmerwald was such a famous place. Every Soviet school child knew about Zimmerwald," explained Julia Richers, a historian at Berne University.
"But you can ask any Swiss school child, they would never know what Zimmerwald was about."
Julia describes Switzerland's attitude to its history as a kind of "forceful forgetting", especially in Zimmerwald itself, where, in the 1960s, plans to have a small plaque marking Lenin's presence were formally banned by the village council.
Switzerland's neutrality probably lies at the root of that reluctance to acknowledge the past.
During the Cold War the Swiss were extremely nervous about showing overt friendliness to either East or West, and spent billions on a vast army and on bunkers for every family, in the hope of sitting, neutrally, out of any future conflict.
But in Zimmerwald, reminders of Lenin's presence were dropping through the letter box every day.
Mayor Fritz Broennimann has a vast archive of earnest missives: postcards, drawings, and notes, from hundreds of Soviet schoolchildren, many of them addressed to the "President of Zimmerwald", all begging for information about their national hero Lenin.
"They asked for photographs, for booklets," he explained, showing a fraying postcard of a Lenin statue in Moscow.
"Some even sent their letters to the Lenin museum in Zimmerwald."
Of course, there was no museum, and there were no photographs or booklets.
Most of those letters were never answered.
But occasionally a Zimmerwald official, perhaps made anxious by the excessive amount of mail with Soviet stamps landing on his desk, tried to stem the flow.
And so, in 1945, this firm reply was sent:
"Sir, I have not been briefed on your political sympathies. However, I am not inclined to provide material to a political extremist, which could then be of use to enemies of the state."
Even in this centenary year, Zimmerwald has wrestled with the apparently agonising decision over whether to mark it.
"We had an idea [for an article] - 'A hundred years, a hundred opinions'," explained Mayor Broennimann.
"So we put an advertisement in the local paper. We got about six answers."
But just a few kilometres north of Zimmerwald in the Swiss capital Berne - one of the most left-leaning of Switzerland's cities - the significance of the Zimmerwald conference is getting a good deal of attention.
"Zimmerwald was actually a peace conference," said Fabian Molina, president of Switzerland's Young Socialists party.
"They were young leftists from the whole of Europe, discussing peace, discussing their strategy against war."
"A hundred years after Zimmerwald, we are in a similar situation, if we compare the wars that are going on, with 60 million people fleeing.
"We have a refugee crisis, it reminds us how violent the world is, and so it's important to remember there was once a conference of people uniting for peace."
Historian Julia Richers agrees, pointing out that the conference was the only gathering in Europe against the war, and that the final manifesto from Zimmerwald contained some fundamental principles.
"The Zimmerwald manifesto stated three important things," she explained. "That there should be a peace without annexations, a peace without war contributions, and the self-determination of people.
"If you look at the peace treaties of World War One, those three things were hardly considered, and we know that World War One led partially to the World War Two, and so I think the manifesto did state some very important points for a peaceful Europe."
A little-known fact is that that manifesto was not revolutionary enough for Lenin and Trotsky, who wanted it to contain references to replacing war between nations with an armed class struggle.
Their fellow socialists and social democrats in Zimmerwald outvoted them, but Lenin continued to harbour hopes that Switzerland might be fertile ground for staging a revolution.
"He once stated that the Swiss could have been the most revolutionary of all, because almost everybody had a gun at home," said Julia Richers.
"But he said that in the end the society was too bourgeois… so he gave up on the Swiss."
"I think he recognised after a few years that it was not a good idea to start a revolution in Switzerland," laughed Fabian Molina.
"Switzerland has always been a quite right-wing country, it… never had a left majority, and I think Lenin saw that the revolutionary potential here in Switzerland was quite small."
But back in Zimmerwald, that historic conference, and its most famous participants, have finally received some modest recognition.
On the spot where the hotel Lenin stayed in once stood (it was pulled down in the 1960s to make way for a bus stop) are two small signs.
Made only of plywood and cardboard, they will not last once winter begins, Fritz Broennimann admits, but they do at least commemorate the events of 1915.
And, after much discussion, the village held a memorial event, with speeches by historians and politicians.
It took place in the local church which, Mr Broennimann remarks with a wry smile, "was full for a change".
And Lenin? He carried on living in Berne, where he wrote some of his most important political treatises.
In 1916 he moved to Zurich, and in early 1917 he took the famous train from Zurich to St Petersburg, which was teetering on the edge of revolution.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Patients queued in corridors because of a lack of cubicles in the department and there were not enough staff to care for them, a report said.
The Care Quality Commission said its layout made it difficult to keep an eye on patients, which "posed unacceptable risks to patient and staff safety".
The trust said improvements were being made.
In October 2015, the CQC investigated Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the main hospital and four community hospitals - Chippenham, Savernake, Trowbridge and Warminster.
All community hospital services were rated "good", while children and young people's services were rated "outstanding".
But Chief Inspector of Hospitals Sir Mike Richards, said there was a "marked variation in the quality of services" between those hospitals and the Great Western Hospital.
Its "observation unit" was isolated, meaning children waiting to be seen could not be properly watched, the report said.
There were not always enough staff to look after patients left queuing in corridors and not all staff adhered to "good hand hygiene practices or using protective personal clothing".
Overall the trust's services "require improvement", the inspectors found.
Sir Mike said: "Although these issues were recognised and known, we found that the necessary improvements had not been made or sustained."
He said the trust had been under financial pressure and leadership was "open" about challenges and "must now work hard to meet the demands required".
The trust's chief executive Nerissa Vaughan said safety was "our number one priority".
"We know we need to do more to build on the improvements we have already made," she said.
She added measures had been introduced to improve the situation including new initial nurse assessments, meaning "patients are likely to be seen sooner", and more training for staff.
The 24 year-old, who came through Manchester City's academy, left Shrewsbury in December after agreeing with the club to cancel his contract.
Before joining Shrewsbury in July, Sarcevic spent three years at Fleetwood Town where he scored 18 goals in 118 league appearances.
He becomes Derek Adams' third signing in January after Nathan Blissett and Jakub Sokolik arrived at Home Park.

Final year primary pupils sat a raft of tough new tests in the summer. Only 53% of pupils passed, compared to the 80% who passed easier tests in 2015.
Primary heads leader Russell Hobby said ministers had stressed the scale of the changes meant comparisons could not be drawn on previous years' results.
The government said schools had responded well to the higher demands.
Pupils at 14,930 state primary schools sat the new national Sats tests in reading, writing and maths - the "Three-Rs"; they also sat a spelling and grammar test.
Schools are then ranked by these results to enable parents to narrow down the choice of schools for their children.
Tap here to search for the results for your area.
In the run up to and during the tests, teachers and heads across England complained that the new papers had been set at too high a level and that not enough information had been made available.
The government's expectation is that 65% of pupils in each school should meet the new expected standard in the "Three Rs".
In total, about 11,000 schools failed to meet this target.
However, the Department for Education (DfE) said schools that achieved sufficient progress scores in reading, writing and maths would not be considered to be failing.
It had deliberately held steady the percentage of schools deemed to be failing at 5% - the same as last year - so that the volatility of this year's results did not lead schools that were otherwise successful to be targeted for intervention.
Conversely, just 47 schools saw all pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths.
General secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, Mr Hobby, said: "The pass mark for the test was set at a ridiculously high level.
"We have just failed half the children in the country and yet Ofsted is saying nearly 90% of schools are good or outstanding.
"Pupils were doing what they should have been doing in the early years of secondary school. Some of the grammatical stuff was the same level as GCSE English."
He added: "This data is not worth the paper it is written on. The government itself has said that it cannot be used to trigger interventions in schools.
"This year we saw the Sats system descend into chaos and confusion.
"Delayed and obscure guidance, papers leaked online, mistakes in test papers and inconsistent moderation made this year unmanageable for school leaders, teachers, parents and pupils."
But School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said the introduction of a new curriculum had raised expectations and ensured "pupils become more accomplished readers and are fluent in the basics of arithmetic, including times-tables, long division and fractions".
"Many schools have responded well to this more rigorous curriculum, supporting their pupils to be leaving primary school better prepared for the demands of secondary school," he said.
Last year, when four-fifths of school pupils reached the expected level, then known as Level 4C, ministers praised schools for "rising to the challenge of raised standards and expectations for all pupils".
Julie McCulloch, primary specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders, said schools had "performed miracles" in very difficult circumstances and deserved great credit.
"The tests are based on a new, much harder curriculum, which the children had followed for only two years, and the expected standard has been significantly raised.
"In addition, the government's introduction of these tests has been chaotic."
The data shows a continuing gender gap, with 57% of girls reaching the expected level in reading, writing and maths compared with 50% of boys.
And the most disadvantaged children fared far worse in these new tests, compared to their non-disadvantaged peers, than they did in the previous test with just 39% achieving the standard.
The government data also reveals regional differences, with London performing very strongly.
Of the top 10 ranking local authorities, in terms of the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, nine are in London
Of the 33 London boroughs, all but one (Enfield) was above the national average in terms of the expected standard in reading, writing and maths.
The five local authorities with the highest percentage of pupils making the grade:
The five local authorities with the lowest percentage of pupils making the grade:
Ludgvan School in Cornwall was the only school where more than 50% of students achieved a high score in reading and maths and were working at greater depth in writing.
As well as test result data, the school league tables also provide lots of information about schools' social make-up, teaching workforce and the historic trend in their results.
"It is beyond dispute at various periods of its long history that Tibet came under differing degrees of foreign influence: the Mongols, the Gurkhas of Nepal, the Manchu emperors of China and the British rulers of India all played their parts. At other periods in the plateau's history, it was Tibet which exercised power and influence over its neighbours - including China.
It would be hard to find any state in the world today that has not been subjected to foreign domination or influence at some era in its history. In Tibet's case the degree and duration of foreign influence and interference was relatively limited."
"Traditional Tibetan society - like most of its Asian contemporaries - was backward and badly in need of reforms. However, it is completely wrong to use the word "feudal" from the perspective of medieval Europe to describe traditional Tibetan society. Tibet before the invasion, in fact, was far more egalitarian than most Asian countries of that time. Hugh Richardson, who spent a total of nine years in Tibet as Britain's last and independent India's first representative, wrote: "Even communist writers have had to admit there was no great difference between rich and poor in [pre-1949] Tibet."
"An internal Chinese military document states that from 1952 to 1958, the People's Liberation Army crushed 996 rebellions and killed over 10,000 Tibetans in the north-eastern region of Kanlho. Golog, another Amdo area, saw its population halved from an estimated 140,000 in 1956 to about 70,000 in 1964.
Referring to this area, the late Panchen Lama [the second most important figure in Tibetan Buddhism after the Dalai Lama] told Beijing's leaders: "If there was a film made on all the atrocities perpetrated in Qinghai Province, it would shock the viewers. In Golog area, many people were killed and their dead bodies rolled down the hill into a big ditch. The soldiers told the family members and relatives of the dead people that they should celebrate since the rebels had been wiped out. They were even forced to dance on the dead bodies."
"The '59 uprising against Chinese rule was a people's movement to resist all the changes the Chinese Communist Party were introducing in Tibet.
In the 17 Point Agreement signed between Tibet and China in 1951, the Chinese Communist Party promised that in return for Tibet coming to the fold of motherland, China would not change Tibet's traditional social system or tamper with the powers of the Dalai Lama. Both these promises were not kept, and the introduction of collectivisation and other aspects of the social system in Tibet forced the Tibetans to rise up."
"In the early 1980s, a liberal policy was introduced in Tibet. This policy dismantled collectivisation and there were plans to withdraw 85% of the Chinese cadres working in the Tibet Autonomous Region. This policy was aimed at letting Tibetans govern themselves.
However, in 1994, all these liberal measures were withdrawn and a new policy called "grasping with both hands" was implemented in Tibet. This policy continued Tibet's economic development while reimposing political repression targeted at undermining Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism. The widespread protests in Tibet are Tibetans' resistance to this hardline policy."
US TV network ABC also ordered a new spin-off show, Marvel's Agent Carter, based on Hayley Atwell's Captain America character.
Both series tie into the Marvel film series, which includes star-studded titles like Iron Man and Thor.
They add background to events on the big screen, providing an overarching story to the so-called Marvel Universe.
Agents Of Shield was created by Joss Whedon, who scripted the Avengers Assemble film, and previously created Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly.
The drama resurrected the character of Agent Coulson, who was killed in Avengers Assemble, with his character's miraculous recovery the central mystery of the opening episodes.
Played by Clark Gregg, the character took charge of a team of law-enforcement agents, tasked with investigating super-human individuals and unusual events.
Eventually, the plot of the series overlapped with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in which the SHIELD organisation was brought down from within.
When the series debuted in the US in September 2013, it garnered 12.12 million viewers, marking the biggest network drama debut in four years.
Audience figures fell by nearly 4 million between the first and second episode, while figures for recent episodes average 5.5 million.
In the UK, where it is shown on Channel 4, the show's audience has also plummeted - from 4.5 million in September 2013 to 1.1 million last week.
However, the series plays well with young men, a much sought-after demographic with advertisers, and its ratings tend to recover once time-delayed viewing is taken into account.
Agent Carter, which follows the story of secret agent Peggy Carter, is being hailed as a "bridge show", which will be screened during Agents Of Shields' mid-series hiatus.
Meanwhile, Marvel comics is preparing another four series - Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage - via its partnership with Netflix.
And it is rewarding to bear in mind that even technological innovation is not just about inventing things.
Somebody has to make the link between the invention and the prospective user. Somebody has to turn the integrated computer on a chip into a usable computer.
Somebody has to make people actually want personal computers... even if (in retrospect) they turn out to be one of the most must-have empowering inventions ever conceived.
Those "somebodies" are often entrepreneurs: the opportunists who see the possibilities of a new machine or innovation just ahead of the rest of us.
People like Sir Charles Dunstone, for example, now in the process of merging his company Carphone Warehouse with Dixons Retail, owners of Curry's and PC World.
Charles Dunstone has made a fortune out of mobile phones, but he was not a communications outsider. He was working in mobile phones when he spotted their true potential.
The company he originally worked for was doing the conventional thing people do with a new technology: apply it to the obvious existing marketplace.
In this case the big companies were the obvious market for business equipment: those phones as big as a brick that people used to lug around 25 years ago as symbols of their importance... to somebody.
Ideal equipment for corporate sales people out in their company cars seeking out somewhere with a signal.
Mobile phones were a business-to-business product, everyone agreed.
Charles Dunstone - immersed in this strategy - saw things differently from the company he was working with.
He realised that if there were thousands of big company people, there were hundreds of thousands - maybe millions - of small business and sole proprietors whose lives would be transformed by being unshackled from the "he's not here now" or the answerphone.
The painter up a ladder could arrange his or her next job without coming down to earth. Over and over again. A real small business revolution.
In response to this insight, Carphone Warehouse was set up by Charles Dunstone and Julian Brownlie in 1989; Dunstone's old school friend David Ross joined a year later.
The phone retailer with a High Street presence was an almost immediate success.
It never needed to borrow money to create a hectic pace of expansion across the UK and then Europe. It was an idea whose time had come, but somebody had to realise it.
The name of the stores crystallises a now vanished era for mobile telephony: portable but not too portable. The move to retailing was a stroke of entrepreneurial genius, and brilliantly timed.
Carphone Warehouse had first mover advantage, and knew how to capitalise on it. That entrepreneurial drive imbued the company for a long time afterwards.
The look and feel of a company headquarters are very revealing about the way the business runs, and I have been in few more impressive than Carphone Warehouse's base in a workaday part of West London close to the A40.
Two huge open plan floors were at the heart of the business, and a visitor walked up what I remember as a big curved staircase into the main floor which had a very familiar feel.
It had the look, noise and intensity of a big media newsroom. Decisions could be taken on a minute-by-minute basis by people who walked across the room to consult on a new idea (such as a new pricing strategy).
Then the in-house broadcast studio could turn into the price announcement into a local radio advertisement within an hour or so.
Here was an organisation set up around flexibility and market responsiveness. Even a casual visitor like me caught the entrepreneurial buzz.
Mind you, businesses mature, and so do the people who run them. Charles Dunstone got his knighthood and he was in demand as a non-executive director.
One of the companies whose boards he graced was the now disgraced bank HBOS, where he chaired the retail risk committee from 2006 to 2008. HBOS later needed a government bailout because of the risks it took, and the losses it made.
"A colossal failure," said the parliamentary commission on banking standards.
Banks and entrepreneurs are not necessarily good bedfellows.
Now the mobile phone marketplace is maturing, and so are computers and home electronics. The wireless networks that created Carphone Warehouse are busy disrupting bricks and mortar selling with electronic retailing.
Sir Charles Dunstone is to be chairman of the newly merged Dixons Carphone.
In a disrupting world it will be interesting to see whether he has retained the entrepreneurial nous that 25 years ago spotted the original opportunity... when mobile phones seemed to most other people to be just a big business proposition.
The plane, which took off from RAF Northolt, was forced to land at Luton Airport following a "technical issue", a Foreign Office spokesman said.
Mr Johnson thanked the crew for their professionalism and was grateful to Luton Airport for the unscheduled welcome, the spokesman added.
He has now continued his journey.
The delay means Mr Johnson will be late for an informal dinner with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, but the pair intend to meet later in the evening, the BBC understands.
A spokesman for Luton Airport said all 16 passengers on board the plane left the aircraft safely, but the runway was disrupted for more than 30 minutes.
"Several scheduled flights were disrupted whilst the runway was cleared," he added.
After United's Europa League final win against Ajax on 24 May, Mourinho said he had given executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward a list of transfer targets.
Senior United figures spoke privately about signing three or four players.
There could be developments later this week, but so far the only new signing has been 22-year-old defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £31m.
It is understood Mourinho wants at least one forward to compensate for the loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 35, because of injury, as well as a holding midfield player.
Efforts to sign Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, 26, for a fee that would have come close to the world record £89m United paid Juventus for midfielder Paul Pogba 12 months ago were compromised by Ibrahimovic's major knee injury, which will keep him out until the New Year.
Atletico were also banned from buying players during the current transfer window and Griezmann signed a new contract, retaining a 100m euros release clause.
Another potential target, Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, 24, is thought to be more interested in joining Chelsea, so Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata, 24, has emerged as United's preferred striking option.
However, efforts to do a deal with Real have, thus far, met with frustration.
His father and agent met with Real officials at the Bernabeu on Monday and although it is still anticipated a transfer will happen, United's departure for their five-match pre-season tour of the USA on Sunday has created an artificial deadline there is no certainty of meeting.
Tottenham's Eric Dier, 23, and Chelsea's Nemanja Matic, 28, have been spoken of by club officials as possible additions to fill the holding midfield role.
However, any attempt to get Dier would involve protracted discussions with Tottenham, which United have never found easy.
It is understood Chelsea will not even entertain the prospect releasing Matic until they have completed the transfer of 22-year-old France midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco.
United officials also spoke to Inter Milan about winger Ivan Perisic, 28, but that move is hampered by the Italian side's improved financial situation, meaning they have no urgent need to sell.
The situation is somewhat different to 12 months ago, when Ibrahimovic, centre-half Eric Bailly and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan were all signed two weeks before United went on their pre-season tour of the Far East, with Pogba coming in later.
Mourinho is mindful his squad needed improving, as - despite winning the EFL Cup and Europa League last season - they finished sixth in the Premier League.
Tour matches against Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona in particular will offer an indication about how much improvement is required.
The Uruguayan scored an equaliser and a goal in the penalty shootout against Portugal as his country progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament.
But in his goal celebration he pulled his eyes back to make them into slits.
"It is not a racist celebration. It was a private celebration for friends," he later tweeted in Korean.
"I did not have any racist intent. I'd like to apologise."

About 40 firefighters continue to tackle pockets of fire inside Maple Mill in Oldham. The blaze began early on Thursday and has been alight for about 30 hours.
Residents from Cardwell Street are unable to return home due to the "unsafe structure" of the building.
The demolition process could take about three days, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said.
The Honeywell Centre in Hadfield Crescent remains open for residents.
A full investigation into the fire, which started on the upper floor, will begin once the building has been made safe.
A total of 80 firefighters battled for seven hours to bring the huge blaze under control on Thursday.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue warned people not to come to the Cardwell Street mill to watch the demolition.
Group manager Ben Levy said: "Having people come to watch the demolition process wouldn't be helpful to crews.
"And so if your intention is to come to the area for this reason - we urge you to stay away."
Local residents are still being advised to keep their doors and windows closed.
Meanwhile, the mill owner has claimed he warned police and the council about travellers at the site.
Vance Miller, 51, alleges they were charging people to dump illegal tyres and asbestos there.
The kitchen businessman insists the blaze would "never had happened" if the travellers had been evicted.
Mr Miller, who is wanted for questioning over fraud charges, said he was speaking to the BBC from China.
The businessman, who was the subject of a failed Trading Standards prosecution in 2010, claims he told police the travellers had "dismantled" the mill.
He said: "Once they had stripped everything and there was nothing left to strip they then started charging people to dump illegal asbestos and illegal tyres.
"I phoned environmental health services in Oldham and said, look, they were dumping asbestos and tyres there, but they didn't want to know.
"They said: 'We'll nip down there and take a look'. What did they do? Nothing.
"If the council had done as I'd asked it wouldn't have happened. If the police had done as I'd asked it wouldn't have happened."
Oldham Council has said it received reports of caravans at the mill in September and reported concerns to the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive.
Jean Stretton, Oldham Council leader, said: "As the site is privately owned we contacted the owners' solicitors to advise them and remind them of their legal obligations to keep the building and site safe."

A total of 64 snowdogs, each with a unique design, were created earlier this year and displayed on a public art trail across Tyne and Wear.
The trail closed last month and the sculptures have been sold at the Sage Gateshead.
The £259,200 raised will go to St Oswald's Hospice in Newcastle.
The highest price was paid for a dog known as Disco Dog, designed by mosaic artist Natalie Guy, which went for £9,200.
The first lot of the event, Arthur, was bought for £5,200.
Standing 1.5m tall (4ft 9ins), the colourful sculptures included several with North East-related designs, including two in the colours of Newcastle United and Sunderland football teams which made up the final lots.

Early goals by Michael Murphy and Colm McFadden sent the Ulster champions on the victory path - 20 years after the county's previous Sam Maguire success.
Underdogs Mayo fought back and were just 2-4 to 0-7 down at the break.
However, Jim McGuinness's Donegal picked things up again in the second half to emerge worthy winners.
So, another disappointing day for Mayo on the big day out in Dublin - they have not won an All-Ireland final since 1951.
James Horan's Connacht champions had been regarded as a defensively tight unit in the 2012 campaign, but they were left reeling by those two early goals.
The Mayo heads had dropped briefly when the second goal went in and there must have been momentary concern that the GAA's big showpiece occasion could dissolve into a disappointing no contest.
Donegal had raced into a seven-point lead inside the opening 11 minutes but Mayo did well to gain the momentum later in the half and be just three in arrears at the interval.
The first goal came after just two minutes, 28 seconds, as captain Murphy collected a high ball and beat maker Kevin Keane to blast a right-foot finish past a helpless David Clarke.
Mayo defender Lee Keegan was then guilty of a high challenge on Mark McHugh. That gave Keegan a yellow card and McFadden the easy task of converting the free.
Then came the second Donegal goal. Patrick McBrearty's effort came off the far upright, defender Keane missed a chance to collect and McFadden capitalised by drilling a low shot into the net.
Donegal, 2-01 to the good, could have led by double figures but Clarke made a good close-range save from McFadden's shot.
Mayo got their first point in the 16th minute through Kevin McLaughlin and Cillian O'Connor added a free.
Buncrana half-forward Ryan Bradley advanced to add to the Donegal score but then Mayo were boosted by four unanswered points through McLoughlin, two O'Connor frees and a splendid effort from out wide by Michael Conroy.
McFadden, who came into the game with a 2012 Championship tally of 3-28, added two more frees before the break with Enda Varley and another O'Connor free ensuring Mayo trailed by just 2-4 to 0-7 at the turnaround.
The early stages of the second half were evenly contested with McFadden and Murphy tagging on frees and Frank McGlynn scoring from play for Donegal, and Cillian O'Connor (2) and Enda Varley landing frees for Mayo.
Two more frees and a point from play by Murphy edged Donegal towards the finishing line.
Replacement Richie Feeney and Keegan scored for Mayo while Neil Gallagher registered a score for Donegal.
Another Mayo substitute Jason Givens landed the final point but there was no denying Donegal their historic triumph in front of 82,269 spectators at GAA's headquarters.
Donegal scorers: Murphy 1-4, McFadden 1-4, Bradley 0-1, McGlynn 0-1, Gallagher 0-1
Mayo scorers: McLoughlin 0-2, O'Connor 0-5, Conroy 0-1, Varley 0-2, Feeney 0-1, Keegan 0-1, Gibbons 0-1 | Donegal have won the All-Ireland Football Championship for only the second time by beating Mayo in the final at Croke Park. | 19,693,260 | 791 | 32 | false |
The teachers and their families had been told to leave Pakistan within days after visa extensions were denied.
The teachers work at some of the 28 "PakTurk" schools, which Turkey says are linked to US-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen. The schools deny this.
Turkey accuses Mr Gulen of being behind July's failed coup, a claim he rejects.
The visa decision, which applied to all Turkish teachers in the school network, coincided with a visit to Pakistan from Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Now the Lahore High Court has delayed the sudden deportation order for at least 100 teachers and instructed the interior ministry to submit a response to the court in January.
The Pakistan Express Tribune reports that both the Sindh and Peshawar High Courts also protected teachers in those areas. The Dawn newspaper, however, reports that Islamabad's court refused to hear the case.
Since July's failed coup, Turkey has cracked down on any individuals or groups believed to have links to Fethullah Gulen.
Tens of thousands of people from every level of society have been purged from their jobs, including senior military officers, government officials and school teachers.
Critics of President Erdogan say he has used the coup attempt as a way of removing his opponents.
Lampard, 38, played the final game of his initial two-year deal with the Major League Soccer outfit as they lost 5-0 to Toronto at Yankee Stadium.
It completed an 8-0 aggregate defeat and eliminated NYC from the play-offs.
Lampard, who signed for NYC after leaving Chelsea in 2014, has scored 12 times in 16 games this year, including a hat-trick against Colorado Rapids.
The former England midfielder had a difficult first season in the MLS - scoring three times in 10 appearances having arrived later than initially planned after a spell at Manchester City.
Dale opened the scoring when Mendez-Laing pounced on a loose ball from Ian Henderson's blocked effort.
Mendez-Laing then nipped in between Ian Lawlor and Peter Clarke to double his tally and Rochdale's lead.
Former Bury defender Ashley Eastham wrapped up the three points when he leapt highest in the Shakers' box to head Michael Rose's corner past Lawlor.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:

"We wanted more penetration and we got it today. I think the game should have been put to bed before half time with the chances we created.
"I think it was all about control of the ball today.
"The plan worked but the players, more importantly, put in some practice and that's what pleases me most."
Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's been a real tough week. I've got players out there who physically weren't really prepared for the game.
"It didn't look right and it didn't feel right.
"We've got to get the right bodies in now and make sure we've got enough covering in every position to get over the line."
Eoin Bradley and Stephen O'Donnell's goals in the first half proved enough for the Bannsiders despite the dismissal of defender David Ogilby.
Coleraine are tied on the maximum nine points with Glenavon, who are top on goal difference, and holders Linfield.
Linfield ran out easy 4-0 winners at Dungannon while Glenavon hammered Ballymena 6-1 at the Showgrounds.
Newly-promoted Warrenpoint edged a 1-0 home win over Ards while Ballinamallard United drew 1-1 with Cliftonville.
Coleraine, third last season, will be delighted with their start having been faced with a tough-looking opening schedule against Dungannon, Cliftonville and Crusaders.
Bradley nodded Oran Kearney's side into a 22nd-minute lead and O'Donnell scored just before half-time with another close-range header.
Coleraine had to play the last 28 minutes without central defender David Ogilby as he was sent off when a hand ball offence meant a second yellow card.
They saw out the valuable win despite Crues substitute Jordan Forsythe pulling one back in stoppage-time.
Linfield rarely looked threatened in a routine win over Dungannon at Stangmore.
Paul Smyth, Niall Quinn and an own goal by former Blueman Seanan Clucas made it 3-0 at the break and Andy Mitchell netted the fourth with a late penalty.
Linfield have not lost a domestic fixture since 3 January and this was their third clean sheet in a row.
Glenavon were the top scorers of the day with a remarkable 6-1 success at Ballymena.
Incredibly, all the goals came in the second half and were scored by different players.
Adam Foley, James Singleton, Sammy Clingan (penalty), Andy Hall, Bobby Burns and Andrew Mitchell netted for Glenavon while United's solitary response was an 80th-minute penalty by Tony Kane.
Glentoran boss Gary Haveron will be disappointed with is side's draw at home to his former club Carrick.
The Glens looked on course to maintain their 100% start when Ross Redman shot them into the lead in the first half , but Lee Chapman headed Carrick's equaliser 40 seconds after the restart.
Former Portadown striker Darren Murray scored in Warrenpoint's 1-0 win over Ards.
Ballinamallard took the lead through a Ryan Curran penalty but Garry Breen equalised for Cliftonville who may feel they should have taken the chances they had to win the game.
The new charity will manage the National Heritage Collection, which includes Stonehenge and Dover Castle.
The government currently contributes £22m annually towards the collection. The aim is for the charity to eventually become self sufficient.
Other powers such as listing buildings will remain government funded.
The new official body, which will also advise on planning, has a working name of the National Heritage Protection Service.
The new charity will still be called English Heritage and the 420 sites in the National Heritage Collection - which include London's Kenwood House, and Charles Darwin's home in Kent - will remain in public ownership.
Government funding for the charity will be tapered down from 2015 eventually to nothing, meaning it will have more freedom than now to generate income from commercial activities and philanthropic donations.
Some of the £80m awarded by the government will help to set up the charity so it will be fully operational by March 2015.
In a statement, the government agency described the planned changes, which will be subject to a consultation, as "an excellent outcome".
"This year we have been celebrating 100 years of state protection for heritage and today's announcement sets the scene for the next century.
"The government's £80m investment and the creation of the new charity will help us preserve the National Heritage Collection for the future, be true to the story of the places we look after, to aim for the highest standards in everything we do from our conservation work to the way we run our events and to provide an experience that brings the story of England alive."
The announcement came as the government said there would be cuts of up to 5% in funding for museums and the arts in the Spending Review for 2015-2016.
Mr Eastwood was speaking at his party's annual conference in Londonderry.
He became leader four months ago.
With the Assembly election only two months away, Colum Eastwood has insisted his party will not lose out as Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness vie for the top job at Stormont.
"No one person has more power than the other so this nonsense that people want to put out there that it's a battle between Martin and Arlene about who is going to be the first minister, it undermines the fact that we want to move politics forward," he said.
"We want politics to be about policy, about ideas and about delivery, not about whose name plate is above which office."
Under Stormont rules, the largest party of the largest designation - unionist or nationalist - provides the first minister.
But the positions of first and deputy first minister are effectively equal.
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster said a small swing in votes would hand the role to Sinn Féin.
She suggested unionist voters should support the DUP to prevent Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin from becoming first minister.
But the SDLP leader said focusing on that contest cheapens politics.
The SDLP deputy leader Ferghal McKinney used his speech to attack what he called the failure of successive DUP ministers to tackle the problems in the health service, adding that stagnation at Stormont is no longer an option.
Tubelines maintenance staff represented by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will vote on whether to launch a campaign of industrial action.
On Wednesday, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) said it would issue ballot papers to control staff after also rejecting the agreement.
Only one union has agreed to the offer.
RMT Tube staff who are not with Tubelines unanimously backed the pay and conditions deal on Tuesday.
Read more on this and other London stories.
Tubelines was a separate firm but is now part of Transport for London (TfL).
It has about 1,000 RMT members and maintains three of the lines the 24-hour service will run on.
General secretary Mick Cash said RMT members within Tubelines had "unanimously thrown out" the deal and were "furious" LU management had tried to "tie in attacks on pensions" with the pay deal.
LU chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said the offer was "full and final" and more negotiations were planned for next week.
The TSSA's Manuel Cortes accused LU of "continuing to drag out this unnecessary dispute", saying it had "spent four months refusing to negotiate".
TfL said the TSSA had demanded more money than that offered to other unions but "hasn't explained why their members... deserve a higher pay award".
Members of the drivers' union ASLEF are voting on the offer and have been advised to back the deal.
Unite has not agreed to the Night Tube pay offer.
The 24-hour Night Tube service was meant to begin in September last year but has been delayed by the ongoing pay and conditions dispute.
What is the pay deal offered?
The proposed agreement includes a 2% pay rise in year one, Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation or 1% (whichever is greater) in years two and three, and RPI plus 0.25% or 1% (whichever is greater) in year four.
There will also be a £500 bonus for staff on lines where the Night Tube will run.
A £500 bonus will be given to station staff for the "successful implementation of the new staff model".
The Portadown driver retired from race one in his BMW after clashing with Matt Neal as the cars left the grid.

Energy minister Paul Wheelhouse told MSPs that the gas extraction technique "poses numerous and serious environmental risks".
He said it would have "no place in Scotland's energy mix at this time".
Green groups welcomed the news, but the Conservatives said they were "deeply disappointed".
Mr Wheelhouse said separate reports on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, would be published after the parliamentary recess, with a consultation on that technique to follow.
UCG is a method of extracting gas from coal seams that are too deep underground to be mined using traditional techniques.
Energy firm Cluff Natural Resources had planned to build the UK's first deep offshore UCG plant at Kincardine in Fife, which would have extracted gas from coal seams under the Firth of Forth.
But the plans were on hold while the Scottish government waited for an independent examination of the technique from Professor Campbell Gemmell of Glasgow University.
UCG licences in the Firth of Forth and Solway Firth were also held by firm Five Quarter, although the company collapsed earlier this year.
Prof Gemmell's report said it would appear logical "to progress toward a ban" of UCG, due to a history of incidents of pollution elsewhere and risks of impacting on greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr Wheelhouse said: "Having considered the report in detail, it is the Scottish government's view that UCG poses numerous and serious environmental risks and, on that basis, the Scottish government cannot support this technology.
"Accordingly, UCG will have no place in Scotland's energy mix at this time."
The Scottish government said it would continue to use planning powers available to it to ensure UCG applications do not receive planning or environmental permission.
The minister has also written to the UK government to request that it issues no further licences for the technique in Scotland, and asking for existing licences to be revoked.
A moratorium on UCG had been imposed last year alongside a wider one covering fracking techniques, which still remains in force
The UCG process has been around since the 19th Century, but is only now becoming commercially viable thanks largely to technological developments and the rising price of gas.
Its supporters argue it is a new and cleaner way of extracting the estimated 85% of the world's coal reserves that are too deep to mine using traditional techniques.
According to Dr Harry Bradbury, founder and chief executive of UK company Five-Quarter, this process results in 20% of the CO2 produced from traditional coal mining.
But environmental campaigners have claimed UCG is a risky and experimental technique, with a "very chequered history" around the world.

The move was welcomed by green groups and some political parties.
Friends of the Earth Scotland said the decision was "a victory for people power".
Head of campaigns Mary Church said: "Setting coal seams alight under two of our major Firths was always a reckless idea and today the Government has listened to communities and put an end to this risky industry."
And WWF Scotland said it was "great news for the environment", voicing hopes that ministers would also ban fracking.
For Scottish Labour, Claudia Beamish welcomed the move and also called for all other unconventional extraction techniques to be banned.
Green MSP Mark Ruskell said the government had validated the concerns of communities, calling for amendments to planning policy to make the block legally watertight.
And Lib Dem Liam McArthur said allowing UCG "would have been a backward step as we work to cut emissions".
But the Scottish Conservatives said they were "deeply disappointed" by the move, with energy spokesman Alexander Burnett calling it "yet another missed opportunity".
He said: "These technologies could create thousands of jobs, boost the economy and lower future energy bills.
"The SNP is at great pains to say how different fracking and UCG are - perhaps their biggest similarity is the SNP's dogmatic objection to them both.
"If we don't start embracing these technologies, we risk getting left behind altogether."
And Cluff Natural Resources said it was "obviously disappointing", noting that "we have no doubt that UCG will be developed elsewhere in the world and the opportunity for Scotland to benefit from first mover advantage will have been lost".
The news comes on the same day as the UK government gave the go-ahead for horizontal fracking in Lancashire, in what is seen as a landmark ruling for the shale gas industry.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has approved plans for fracking at Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site at Little Plumpton in Lancashire.
But second site, Roseacre Wood, has not yet been given the green light amid concerns over the impact on the area.
Robin Maughan, a Frankie Valli impersonator, is serving a 12-year sentence for offences including grooming and abusing two teenagers.
The 36-year-old, of Market Harborough, Leicestershire, has since pleaded guilty to further charges, including taking indecent photos of children.
The judge at Leicester Crown Court said he would be sentenced on 23 June.
The new charges faced by Maughan, formerly of Western Avenue, involved a number of boys and girls aged 13 to 16 between 2000 and 2015.
They include sexual touching, indecent assault and taking more than 200 indecent images of children.
Det Con Rob Waddington, who led the investigation, said: "As a result of the publicity surrounding his previous conviction, more victims came forward, and we worked to gather evidence to be able to put these charges to him.
"We know there are more victims out there who were abused by Maughan and who haven't been able to come forward for whatever reason, and I would urge them to make contact with us."
Harry Styles said the band was "very sorry" for cancelling Tuesday's show.
Fans were already inside the city's SSE Arena when the gig was pulled at 21:00 BST after singer Liam Payne fell ill.
Styles told BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans that the band had been "trying to get on and then it was just impossible".
Payne was "just very, very ill", he said.
"We very, very much apologise to everyone."
And Payne tweeted: "I'm so sorry to everybody I disappointed last night. I'm feeling better now.
"I really hope everyone can make the rescheduled date on Friday.
"I really can't wait to perform and make it up to everyone later."
Disappointed fans booed as staff instructed them to leave the venue, and one witness said "hundreds" of girls and women had been left weeping.
Concert promoter Aiken Promotions said: "The show tonight has been cancelled as Liam has taken ill, and whilst not serious, he is unable to perform tonight."
And in another statement on Wednesday, the promoter apologised for the cancellation.
That show has been rescheduled for Friday and original tickets are valid.
"We thank everyone for their understanding and their good wishes to Liam," Aiken Promotions added.
Fans unable to attend Friday's concert have been told they will be refunded.
It was the first time in the band's five-year career that they had been forced to cancel a show.
Previously, members had filled in for each other when illness struck.
"To be honest, we feel kind of lucky that we've got to this point and never cancelled one," said Styles.
But the rescheduled show has come at a cost for ice hockey fans in Belfast.
The Belfast Giants had been due to play a game against the Sheffield Steelers at SSE Arena on Friday night.
That has now had to make way for the One Direction gig.
Neil Walker, the arena's general manager, said "all possible options" had been assessed before the decision was made and he apologised to supporters of both teams.
"We are very grateful to them for their understanding and accommodation of the nearly 10,000 young concert fans who were so devastated by the cancellation last night," he added.
"We are now looking forward to three great nights of concerts."
The 21-year-old has been at Chelsea since she was nine and spent last season on loan with Women's Super League 2 side Bristol City.
"I know a few of the girls already from playing with England and I have met a few of them as well. Everyone has made me feel really welcome," she said.
"I'm buzzing to start pre-season in August and meet the rest of them."
The visitors led 0-9 to 0-3 at half-time and McHugh's double, plus another goal from Patrick McBrearty, saw Donegal take total control of the game.
The Mournemen had Donal O'Hare red-carded in the 65th minute for an off-the-ball incident with Eamon McGee.
McGee was one of five players who received black cards during the match.
Donegal duo Neil McGee and Michael Carroll were also black-carded, along with Down pair Joe Murphy and Conaill McGovern.
Neil McGee was penalised for bringing down Ryan Johnston in the 18th minute, but O'Hare's resulting penalty was saved by young Donegal goalkeeper Peter Boyle.
For Down and new manager Eamon Burns, it was a rude awakening to the realities of life in Division One following their promotion last season.
Early long-range points from Ciaran Thompson and Michael Murphy, the latter from a free, set the tone for the match and Murphy continued to play a pivotal role with a series of frees and an expertly executed point from an acute angle.
Five unanswered scores in the run-up to the break saw Rory Gallagher's side lead by six points at the interval and McHugh found the net with the deftest of touches after 40 minutes.
His Kilcar clubmate McBrearty fired home the second with a clinical finish into the bottom corner two minutes later and Leo McLoone got in on the act with two points in as many minutes to leave the score 2-12 to 0-7.
McHugh's second goal of the evening on 58 minutes extended his side's advantage further and O'Hare's dismissal completed a miserable evening for the hosts.
Donegal, who introduced the returning Rory Kavanagh as a second-half substitute, play Cork at Ballybofey in their next fixture on Sunday 7 February, with Down away to Monaghan in another Ulster derby.
Donegal manager Rory Gallagher: "When we got the first goal, the game kind of ran away from them. We would expect Cork to be stronger next week.
"We want to keep improving, working hard and getting into good habits in the league."

Below is a summary of the seven defendants:
Rebekah Brooks
Andy Coulson
Stuart Kuttner
Clive Goodman
Mark Hanna
Cheryl Carter
Charlie Brooks
Rebekah Brooks, nee Wade, was chief executive of Rupert Murdoch’s News International when the phone-hacking allegations broke in 2010.
A former News of the World editor, she had become one of Mr Murdoch’s trusted lieutenants having risen through the ranks of the family’s newspapers with astonishing speed.
In 2000 she became the youngest editor of a British national newspaper and went on to launch the controversial Sarah's Law campaign in which the paper began naming sex offenders. Three years later, she became the first female editor of the Sun before becoming News International’s chief executive in 2009.
Charges: Phone hacking, misconduct in public office, perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty of all charges
Andy Coulson stepped down as Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director in 2011, stating the row over phone hacking was stopping him giving the '110%' he needed in the job.
His role at the heart of government was far removed from his beginnings on the Basildon Evening Echo. The local news reporter went on to join the Sun and rose rapidly through the ranks of News International. He became the News of the World’s deputy editor in 2000 and succeeded Rebekah Brooks as editor three years later.
In 2007 he became director of communications for the Conservative Party before taking up the same role for Number 10 in 2010 after the general election.
Charges: Phone hacking, misconduct in a public office
Verdicts: Guilty of phone hacking, jury failed to reach verdicts on misconduct charges
Stuart Kuttner held a number of senior roles at the News of the World before retiring in 2009. He was the newspaper's managing editor for 22 years and had been its deputy editor prior to that.
Alongside Rebekah Brooks, Mr Kuttner was closely involved with the campaign for Sarah's Law, which saw the paper push for parental access to the sex offenders register following the murder of seven-year-old Sarah Payne.
Charge: Phone hacking
Verdict: Not guilty
Clive Goodman was the News of the World’s royal editor until 2007. Mr Goodman had begun his career on the Daily Mail before joining the News of the World. He stayed at the tabloid for almost two decades. Among his many royal exclusives was the breakdown of the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Charges: Misconduct in a public office
Verdicts: Jury discharged after failing to reach verdicts
Mark Hanna was head of security at News International for more than four years and has had almost two decades of experience in the security industry, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He joined the Murdoch company in 2009 from the Japanese investment bank Nomura International, where he was vice-president (security).
He has a military background and has been on the editorial board of Professional Security magazine, according to SecurityNewsDesk - a website covering security industry news.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Cheryl Carter, an executive assistant, had worked for Mrs Brooks for almost two decades.
She had been Mrs Brooks's PA when she was editor of the News of the World and the Sun. She continued in the role when Mrs Brooks was promoted to the News International chief executive's role in 2009.
Ms Carter had also worked for ex-News of the World managing editor Stuart Kuttner and former deputy editor Neil Wallis. She was also beauty editor at the Sun, another News International title.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Charlie Brooks, along with his wife Rebekah, are regarded as key members of the “Chipping Norton set” - a network of powerful figures in media, politics and entertainment living close to each other in the Oxfordshire countryside. Among them is David Cameron, whom Mr Brooks knows from his schooldays at Eton. The Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, first introduced the Brookses to each other at a party.
Mr Brooks married Rebekah Wade, as she then was, in June 2009. In January 2012, Mr and Mrs Brooks became parents by a surrogate mother.
Mr Brooks has been involved in horse racing for most of his life, first as a stable hand and amateur jockey and then as a racehorse trainer. He has also written a novel and a racing column for the Daily Telegraph.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Thirty-five firefighters were called to the fire which started at 04:30 GMT at Malvern Tyres in Richmond Walk.
The fire is now under control and no-one is reported injured but nearby residents were asked to keep their windows closed to avoid the fumes.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, said Devon and Somerset Fire Service.
Resident Steven Grimshaw, who was woken at 05:30 GMT, said: "There was thick black smoke and lots of popping noises.
"A large fire had started in the tyre warehouse and there was lots of black smoke billowing into the sky."
Devon and Somerset fire spokesman Paul Bray said: "After the fire started it made rapid progress through the building and shortly after, the roof and a wall collapsed.
"Fortunately we were able to stop it spreading to the next-door building which contains bottled gas."
He said that the wind had blown most of the smoke out to sea.
Brenda Hale said her life was turned upside down by a stranger who began harassing her after the 2011 election.
The Lagan Valley MLA said the man started to call and text her, and she felt "incredibly threatened".
"He said we couldn't let this relationship go but I had never met this man," she told the BBC.
She said the man approached her while she was shopping in Marks & Spencer.
"I thought he was a constituent so I was very happy to converse with him and then he said he had been watching me a lot and he had got hold of my telephone number, and then the calls and texts started arriving with increasing regularity," she said.
"I did not know this man from Adam and he was stalking me from his home address in Dublin."
Mrs Hale, whose husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2009, said the whole experience was "terribly frightening".
"I had become a very public person after the death of my husband and so my story was out there - that I was alone with two children," she said.
"To feel vulnerable like that made me question whether a job in the public arena was the right one for me."
She said she "nipped it in the bud very quickly" and the police were "very quick to act".
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK which does not have specific laws to protect victims of stalking.
On Monday, Mrs Hale brought forward a motion about the need for new legislation. Assembly members voted on it and an amendment introduced by the SDLP and both were passed.
Mrs Hale said the debate was a "vital step forward".
"A legal definition will enable us to not only protect victims but also monitor reports of stalking, arrests and consequent prosecutions," she added.
Green Party deputy leader Clare Bailey MLA spoke of her own experience of stalking after the debate.
"I had razor blades stuck in my car tyres, which caused the tyres to blow up after dropping my children to school," she said.
"I decided then to report the stalking to the police, but response was "What do you want us to do about it?". I couldn't answer their question but I didn't report any further incidences."
It was time to make stalking a "recognised crime in its own right", she added.
Justice Minister Claire Sugden said a review of the existing laws around stalking both in Northern Ireland and elsewhere was already under way.
In an interview with Australia's 60 Minutes, John Bilardi described his son as a "loner" who had a "death wish".
An emotional Mr Bilardi also said he blamed himself for his son's actions.
Unconfirmed reports say that Bilardi died earlier this month in Iraq.
Mr Bilardi said his son was a "prize" for IS.
"He was a trophy that they paraded online. They gloated about how they had recruited this young boy who didn't even have a Muslim background.
"They used him for their own, what cause? All I see that they're murdering people, including my son. They murdered him."
The programme described how Bilardi's parents went through a "bitter divorce" when he was a young boy.
Mr Bilardi lost contact with Bilardi and his five siblings following the divorce, but began to see his son again after Bilardi's mother died in 2013.
"He just had this smile on his face, he was softly spoken, you could see the shyness in him," Mr Bilardi said.
"The first thing that came out was 'Dad, I've converted to Muslim' ... I literally fell back in my seat."
Mr Bilardi revealed that his son sent him a message when he arrived in Syria.
Bilardi said he was "happy" to be there and had travelled to the country "with the intention of supporting the people of this land".
Friends of Bilardi told the programme that he was "bullied quite a lot". They said he spoke openly at school about his intention to "sacrifice his life for Islam".
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called Bilardi's reported suicide attack a "tragic example of a young Australian being lured to a senseless and violent death".
Mr Bilardi said he would create a memorial for his son, who he described as an "intelligent" boy who could have had a "bright career".
"For Jake my son - not the jihadist, not the terrorist," he said.
It is a criminal offence in Australia for citizens to set foot in the IS strongholds of Mosul and Raqqa without a legitimate reason such as a visit to family.
Any Australian who travels to the city could face 10 years in prison.
But Australia estimates that around 90 of its citizens have already travelled to Iraq or Syria to fight with IS and 20 have been killed in the conflict.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said the quality of service at HMRC "collapsed" over an 18-month period between 2014 and 2015.
Call waiting times tripled during that time, as some customers were kept on hold for up to an hour.
In response, HMRC said most calls were now being answered in just six minutes.
As part of its most recent study, the NAO worked out how much money callers would have notionally lost, while waiting for a reply.
Using HMRC's own criteria, it valued people's time at an average of £17 an hour.
As a result it claimed callers would have wasted the following sums:
The NAO blamed HMRC's poor performance on its decision to cut 11,000 staff between 2010 and 2014.
As part of its strategy to persuade people to do their tax returns online, it had anticipated needing fewer employees to answer the phone.
But after call waiting times for self-assessment tax returns peaked at 47 minutes last autumn, HMRC was forced to bring in 2,400 staff to its tax helpline.
Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, said he accepted that HMRC's overall plan did make sense.
"This does not change the fact that they got their timing badly wrong in 2014, letting significant numbers of call handling staff go before their new approach was working reliably," he said.
Citizens Advice said some people might fall into debt as a result of the problems - if they missed a tax deadline as a result.
"Long waiting times not only cause frustration and increase the cost of the call, but can also mean people miss important deadlines," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice.
"For example if you don't return your tax form on time you face a fine - which for some households can be an additional cost they can't afford to pay."
HMRC said its service levels had improved since the period in question. Over the last six months it said call waiting times had averaged six minutes.
"We recognise that early in 2015 we didn't provide the standard of service that people are entitled to expect and we apologised at the time," said Ruth Owen, HMRC's director general for customer services.
We have since fully recovered and are now offering our best service levels in years," she said.
However the NAO said it was also concerned that, because many taxpayers never got through to HMRC on the phone, they may have paid the wrong amount of tax.
In March this year there were 3.2m outstanding high priority cases that still required investigation.
MPs on the Public Accounts Committee will take further evidence on the issue on 13 June.
Two statements were read at St Michael's Church in Lamplugh, the village where one of Bird's brothers, his twin, was found dead.
The family also offered condolences to the loved ones of those killed.
Bird's sons Graeme and Jamie said: "We do not know why he committed these horrific crimes and we are both mortified by the sad events."
Later hundreds of people gathered in Seascale, the village where Bird killed three people, for the first of two memorial services.
The second service was held in Whitehaven, where Bird shot dead one of his fellow taxi drivers.
In Lamplugh, in a statement read by Rev Jim Marshall, Bird's sons called the 52-year-old a "loving dad who had recently become a grandfather" and "the nicest man you could ever meet".

They said: "Dad was a loving, cheerful character, and was well known throughout the whole community and the areas in which he worked.
"He will be missed by us and by his family and by his friends."
Of the victims' families, Bird's sons said: "Our thoughts are with them".
Bird killed 12 people in west Cumbria on Wednesday before driving to the Lake District where he shot himself.
Police believe he deliberately targeted some of his victims and indiscriminately shot at others during his 45-mile rampage.
Detectives are continuing to try to establish a motive for the killings.
Speaking outside the church, Mr Marshall said Bird's mother Susan learnt of her son's gun rampage when she turned on the television.
He said: "She was horrified, she was astounded. She was just stunned and still can't take it in.
"That is the last time she watched the television."
He said Mrs Bird then locked all the doors. When asked if the family had feared for their lives, he replied: "Yes, wouldn't you if you realised (he) had killed his twin brother."
But Mr Marshall said the Derrick Bird his family knew "was not the person they saw on Wednesday".
Bryan Bird, the gunman's surviving brother, also released a statement expressing his "shock and dismay".
He said: "The loss of both of my brothers is devastating. They were both very caring, family people.
"They were well known and respected in their local communities. My family and I are saddened at the loss of life and woundings, and can only offer their condolences to the families concerned.
"We appreciate what they are suffering at this time. We cannot offer any reason why Derrick took it upon himself to commit these crimes."
The President of the Association of Chief Police Officers, Sir Hugh Orde, has praised the response of Cumbria's officers during the shooting spree.
Speaking on the Politics Show on BBC One on Sunday, he said: "It was a completely unexpected and unpredictable event and the response, from a police perspective, was very good."
He said it would not have made any difference if a larger force had been in control.
NGOs on the Mediterranean island underlined the need to dramatically shift the goalposts if the surge in deaths is to be stemmed.
But their proposed solutions are unlikely to resonate with many of Malta's 420,000 inhabitants, who feel European states have ignored the migration problems in the Mediterranean for too long.
The sun-drenched tourist haven of Malta disguises the tragedy unfolding at its doorstep, though many are uneasy about the chaos engulfing Libya just 354km (220 miles) away.
Sensational media claims that radical Islamists could infiltrate boatloads of migrants have served only to inflate irrational fears.
The attitude towards asylum seekers in Malta has shifted dramatically, from the compassion shown when the first boats started landing in 2002, towards indifference, and, in the last few years, outright racism among sectors of society.
In the aftermath of two shipwrecks, that killed at least 1,000 in the last week, one tasteless commentator even uploaded a Facebook post saying he was put off fish because they were now feeding on "Ebola-infected corpses".
Many who posted comments on the Times of Malta website blamed the migrants themselves for taking the trip in the first place.
Maria Pisani, director of Integra Foundation, a Maltese not-for-profit organisation, says the solution should be a concerted effort to strengthen search and rescue operations and provide safer access to asylum.
That way, she says, refugees would not be forced to take this route in the first place.
The policy of containment and strengthening of EU borders has contributed to deaths and prolonged human suffering, Ms Pisani says.
She believes that increased efforts to beef up security will simply serve to redirect smuggling routes elsewhere - possibly to deadlier routes.
Neil Falzon, director of Aditus, a Maltese human rights group, agrees. Creating camps or blockades in a war-torn country like Libya is out of the question, he says, since it is unable to protect its own nationals, let alone anyone else.
If solutions are to be found, he says, politicians need to think of the reasons why people are getting onto boats.
Mr Falzon, a human rights lawyer, says: "While there is some awareness about Syria, nobody knows if and what the EU is doing to improve the situation in places like Eritrea and Somalia, from where people have been fleeing for years as the world looks on with indifference.
"Migrants flee their home for different reasons. If we bundle them all together, nothing will work.
"We need to keep in mind that no proposal or measure will totally eliminate the boat situation. We need to be ready to accept that this issue will persist, even if we have the best solution."
Mr Falzon believes that EU countries can start helping by offering visas from their embassies in non-European states. Ultimately, traffickers need to be stopped or at least curbed.
"If you talk to any migrant in Malta they will all tell you traffickers are not hard to find; it's an open business."
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has dramatically shifted tone and attitude since July 2013, when he threatened to push back a group of migrants to Libya to pile pressure on EU states to act. He now speaks about the need for compassion.
Mr Muscat and his Italian counterpart Matteo Renzi are spearheading the regional response, but many on the island state are determined that Malta, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, cannot take any more migrants.
Malta has one of the highest per capita refugee acceptance rates in the world, and its inhabitants are expecting the European bloc to throw them a lifeline.
For years, Malta has appealed to other EU states to absorb some of its refugees. The response has been abysmal.
"Ultimately, the problem is that nobody wants refugees as neighbours," Mr Falzon said.
Danny Willett is one stroke behind following a round of 64, with another Englishman, Chris Hanson, on 11 under.
Defending champion Rikard Karlberg of Sweden, who went round in 67, is tied for third with Hanson (65) and American Daniel Im (64) at Golf Club Milano.
England's Chris Wood is on 10 under and Scot Jamie McLeary a shot further back.
Rain and the threat of lightning saw play called off at 16:36 BST on Friday.
Karlberg, who led after a weather-delayed first round, faces the prospect of playing 36 holes on Saturday, having failed to start his second round on Friday.
Tournament director David Williams told the European Tour website: "If we had a dry night and some reasonable weather over the weekend, then we could still get four rounds in and finish on time on Sunday night."

Andronicos Sideras, 54, has been accused of deliberately mixing up the meats before they were sold in 2012.
Mr Sideras was one of the owners of meat company and sausage manufacturer Dinos & Sons.
The businessman, from Southgate, north London, denies conspiracy to defraud between 1 January and 30 November 2012.
Prosecutor Jonathan Polnay said alarm bells were raised after Dinos "messed things up" when assembling an order.
A surprise inspection was triggered when the wrong size of shipment was sent to a company called Rangeland in Newry, Northern Ireland, in 2012, Inner London Crown Court was told.
The 12-pallet load was analysed and four of them contained horse.
Mr Polnay said: "Some of them were found to contain significant amounts of horsemeat; roughly about a third contained horse."
It is alleged Mr Sideras mixed meat in this way before it was sold on to manufacturers making products for "a vast range of well-known companies".
Mr Sideras's fingerprints were found on "fake" labels, the court heard.
Mr Polnay added: "The final piece of the jigsaw is that when the meat was analysed, three horse ID chips were found in some of it."
The chips were roughly the size of a 1cm grain of rice - two of which were Polish and one Irish.
It is alleged Danish-owned company Flexi Foods would buy horsemeat and beef from suppliers across Europe and then deliver to Dinos & Sons in Tottenham, north London.
Mr Polnay said the fraud could not have worked or taken place without the "connivance" of Mr Sideras.
He said: "The meticulous records kept by FlexiFoods caused their undoing. They also provide compelling evidence of the guilt of this defendant."
He told the court that two men, Ulrik Nielsen, 58, the owner of FlexiFoods, and his "right-hand man", Alex Beech, 44, have already pleaded guilty to the same charge.
The trial continues.
The Republic has become the first country in the world to introduce same-sex marriage in a popular vote, just days after the Prince of Wales visited Mullaghmore in County Sligo where his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
While in Sligo, Prince Charles also visited the grave of the Irish poet, WB Yeats, under the shadow of Ben Bulben mountain in Drumcliffe cemetery.
The poet was born 150 years ago and many of his verses were quoted during the Royal visit.
Nearly every Irish student learns the lines from the poem September 1913: "Romantic Ireland is dead and gone, it's with O'Leary in the grave."
O'Leary was an old Irish revolutionary who wanted to free Ireland from British rule.
The referendum result speaks volumes about a changed Republic of Ireland and it is tempting to write: "Catholic Ireland is dead and gone."
It was the revelation that Bishop Eamon Casey had fathered a child that first started a process which, for many, undermined the authority of the Catholic Church.
Soon afterwards a tsunami of revelations about child sex abuse involving priests and cover-ups by bishops further and greatly diminished the standing of the church hierarchy in a country that is nominally 85% Catholic, although empty churches and declining Mass attendance tell another story.
It was only in 1993 that homosexual acts were decriminalised; civil partnership was introduced in 2010.
Throughout the campaign, bishops preached against a "Yes" vote for same-sex marriage and indicated their deep unhappiness with the government's proposal.
They were joined by social conservatives and Catholic lay groups in expressing their view that the proposal undermined the traditional family of a husband, a wife and children.
But only three of the 166 members of the Irish parliament publicly supported that view and urged a "No" vote.
Against the hierarchy stood a coalition of all the main political parties, gay rights activists and their families and supporters.
It is noticeable that the "Yes" vote was strongest in more urban areas and among younger voters who study the African-American struggle for civil rights for their state exams.
And it was also noticeable in conversations how many of them were influenced by that struggle for equality in Saturday's result.
Thousands returned from abroad to vote, and thousands more delayed their working holidays after finishing university exams to register their support for the government's proposal.
Social media was abuzz with their stories.
Some "No" campaigners feared the worst from early on; some privately said that even if they won this time they knew they were battling against the tide of history because such was the strength of feeling among young people that there would be another referendum and it would then pass.
Today, though, is not the first recent indication of the diminished standing of the Catholic Church.
Two years ago, the bishops failed to stop the government and politicians from introducing legislation to allow for abortions in cases where there was a credible suicide threat from a woman if she was forced to continue with her pregnancy.
And in many ways the same-sex marriage referendum is just one stage in church-state relations before the main confrontation - the repeal of the eighth amendment to the constitution that gives an equal right to life to the mother and the unborn.
The referendum on this in 1983 was extraordinarily divisive and left a bitter taste in the mouths of many involved.
While another referendum on repealing the amendment is unlikely until after the next election, both sides are already preparing for it.
Those wanting change argue that it currently prevents terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality, where the foetus cannot survive outside the womb, and where a pregnancy has resulted from rape or incest.
Those seeking the retention of the amendment - and it's not just the Catholic Church and other Christian institutions - argue from a human rights point of view that the foetus or unborn child also has a right to life.
But that's all for another day.
I began with WB Yeats but I'll finish with, perhaps, the best known Irish gay man, Oscar Wilde.
The phrase "the love that dare not speak its name" comes from a poem by his lover Lord Alfred Douglas and was mentioned at Wilde's gross indecency trial that would see him jailed.
After the same-sex referendum result, not any longer, Oscar, not any longer.
She will sample the culinary histories of stately homes and create new recipes inspired by her visits in Mary Berry's Secrets From Britain's Great Houses.
In September, she announced she would not remain as a judge on Bake Off when it moves from BBC One to Channel 4.
In a statement, she said she was "so excited" to be doing the new six-part series with the BBC.
"I have always had an enquiring mind so I know I will be inspired by the great houses we visit," she said.
BBC director of content Charlotte Moore said: "This series will be a real treat for BBC One viewers to go behind the scenes with Mary Berry and explore Britain's great houses through her love of cooking."
Berry will reveal the workings of the houses and visit the kitchens, gardens and private rooms - as well as meeting the current custodians - in each 30-minute episode.
The 81-year-old made her name as a cookery writer and has judged The Great British Bake Off with Paul Hollywood since its launch in 2010.
The most recent series, which finished last week, was the last series to be seen on BBC One.
However Berry, Hollywood and hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc will be seen in two Bake Off Christmas specials, which have already been filmed.
Tanya Shaw, managing director at Shine TV, which is producing Berry's new series, said: "I can't think of anyone more perfect to tell the stories of these great households and to bring us such a unique insight into Britain's rich culinary past."

Linda Camborne-Paynter's two terriers escaped from her car after the crash at about 18:00 GMT on Thursday outside Sweetshouse near Lostwithiel, Cornwall.
Dexter - who was found yesterday - had joined the search for his brother Snowey this morning.
Mrs Camborne-Paynter is still in hospital having broken both her arms in the crash.
The family had launched a campaign to find Snowey, including issuing a poster which said the dog had "pegged it" because he was nervous.
Tesla will raise the money by selling bonds to professional investors, despite the company having $3bn in cash.
The company says it has 518,000 orders for its new car, whose price starts at $35,000.
Initial production of the Model 3 started in July, with a target of 400,000 to be made next year.
Tesla, which also makes batteries and solar panels, has been burning through its cash at a rapid rate.
The company's founder and boss, Elon Musk, said at the vehicle's formal launch in July that making the Model 3 would lead to "six months of manufacturing hell", as it tries to make 100,000 of the cars this year at its California factory.
Some observers have predicted that the company, which has yet to make a profit, will use up at least $2bn this year, hence the need for more cash.
The Tesla bonds will have to be repaid to investors in eight years but the interest rate on offer to investors has not yet been decided.
Tesla has $3bn in its cash pile, but it is easy to see why it wants more.
The company has already proved that it can build high-performance, long-range electric cars.
The Model S and Model X have an enthusiastic following.
Now it has begun delivering its new, more basic and more affordable Model 3.
But building luxury premium cars for a small, wealthy and enthusiastic market is one thing.
Becoming a viable, mass-market manufacturer is quite another - especially when the mass market for electric cars does not actually exist yet.
Tesla built just under 84,000 cars last year and it hopes to be producing 520,000 annually by 2018.
That is a huge step forward, particularly for a company which saw production in the first half of this year slowed because of a shortage of batteries.
Tesla is throwing money at the problem, and is expected to burn through $2bn this year.
But why is Tesla being so ambitious? Why not build up production more slowly?
Well, the electric car market is about to get a lot more crowded.
Major manufacturers such as VW, Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover all have high performance electric vehicles in the pipeline, while Renault-Nissan already dominates the more affordable end of the market.
Tesla's brand has a Silicon Valley cachet that other manufacturers cannot match, for the moment.
But if it is to become a high-volume manufacturer, it needs to use that cachet to build its market share - or risk being sidelined when the more established auto giants roll out their new models.
The Old Trafford and Wales legend would also consider managing a Championship club provided it matches his "ambitions and vision".
"Managing your national team is the pinnacle or the club that you played for. For me Manchester United - that's the pinnacle," he said.
"Whether it happens or not, I don't know, but you'd always be open to it."
The 42-year-old former winger has been on what he called a sabbatical since ending a 29-year association with United in June following the appointment of Jose Mourinho as manager.
He had been interim manager at Old Trafford and was assistant to Louis van Gaal before Mourinho replaced the Dutchman.
Giggs added: "As a player I was a winner and I want to be the same as a manager, whether it be dropping down to the Championship, whether it be in the Premier League - I've got no preference," he told BBC Wales.
"It has to be the right club and have the same ambitions and visions as I do."
He was recently linked with the Swansea City job that American Bob Bradley has filled following Francesco Guidolin's sacking, but said "a few things" prevented him taking over at Liberty Stadium.
Under current manager Chris Coleman, Wales reached their first major championships since 1958 and progressed to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
Coleman signed a fresh deal with the Football Association of Wales in May this year and has said he will move on when their 2018 World Cup campaign concludes.
Giggs believes Coleman could still conceivably stay longer: "That could change [his mind]. He could stay on, we never know.
"Whoever takes over if Chris decides to leave after two years will be inheriting a team that has been the most successful in Wales for the last 50 years."
In a statement on his Twitter account, Mr Carr said he was no longer involved in the K2 tax shelter.
Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday called Mr Carr's use of the scheme "morally wrong".
But the PM refused to comment on Take That star Gary Barlow's tax affairs - saying it was a different case - after Labour called for his OBE to removed.
The K2 tax scheme used by Mr Carr is a way of lowering the amount of tax paid. It is legal and Mr Carr made clear in his statement it was fully disclosed to HMRC.
In a

Mr Carr said: "I appreciate as a comedian, people will expect me to 'make light' of this situation, but I'm not going to in this statement.
"As this is obviously a serious matter. I met with a financial advisor and he said to me 'Do you want to pay less tax? It's totally legal'. I said 'Yes'."
"I now realise I've made a terrible error of judgement.
"Although I've been advised the K2 Tax scheme is entirely legal, and has been fully disclosed to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs).

Do regular taxpayers care whether a comedian pays his tax? Or do they think it a joke that he, and hundreds of others, are given the opportunity to avoid paying it?
The government says it wants to put an end to "contrived" avoidance schemes. It needs the extra tax income after all.
Next year it plans to bring in a new general anti-abuse rule, to stop cunning schemes designed solely to avoid tax.
But accountants are lining up to argue that the line between artificial avoidance and legitimate tax planning is blurred - and the proposals will not end disputes entirely.
Which side of the line is sheltering your family from inheritance tax? And what about tax breaks for investing in small businesses?
Clearly Jimmy Carr's "error of judgement" will not be the punchline to this story.
Most common tax avoidance schemes
When is tax dodging illegal?
"I'm no longer involved in it and will in future conduct my financial affairs much more responsibly. Apologies to everyone. Jimmy Carr."
More than 1,000 people, including Mr Carr, are thought to be using the Jersey-based K2 scheme, which is said to be sheltering £168m a year from the Treasury.
Under the K2 scheme, an individual resigns from their company and any salary they subsequently receive is paid to an offshore trust.
Downing Street welcomed Mr Carr's apology.
A spokeswoman said: "HMRC are working hard to investigate the sort of scheme that Jimmy Carr had been reported to be involved in to ensure that they are not aggressively avoiding tax, and, if they are, they are closed down."
She defended Mr Cameron's decision to speak out about an individual's tax affairs - in contravention of normal government practice.
"The prime minister was expressing what probably lots of people felt after reading the coverage," she said.
Business Secretary Vince Cable also backed the prime minister, telling BBC Radio Sheffield he was not prepared to go "through a hit-list of our celebrities" but adding: "We just want people to pay their dues."
The Lib Dem minister said he did not use tax avoidance schemes himself and that, as far he knows, no members of the cabinet did either, saying: "We observe the law... but also try to set an example."
According to The Times newspaper, which first published details of Mr Carr's tax arrangements, the K2 scheme enables members to pay income tax rates as low as 1%.
The prime minister was asked about Mr Carr's arrangement on Wednesday during a visit to Mexico for the G20 summit.
He told ITV News the comedian's tax affairs were "straightforward tax avoidance" and it was unfair on the people who pay to watch the comic perform that he was not paying his taxes in the same way that they did.
"I think some of these schemes - and I think particularly of the Jimmy Carr scheme - I have had time to read about and I just think this is completely wrong.
"People work hard, they pay their taxes, they save up to go to one of his shows. They buy the tickets. He is taking the money from those tickets and he, as far as I can see, is putting all of that into some very dodgy tax avoiding schemes.
"That is wrong. There is nothing wrong with people planning their tax affairs to invest in their pension and plan for their retirement - that sort of tax management is fine.
"But some of these schemes we have seen are quite frankly morally wrong. The government is acting by looking at a general anti-avoidance law but we do need to make progress on this.
"It is not fair on hard working people who do the right thing and pay their taxes to see these sorts of scams taking place."
Labour leader Ed Miliband opted not to join in with the chorus of criticism of the 8 Out of 10 Cats star's tax affairs.
He said: "I'm not in favour of tax avoidance obviously, but I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality.
"I think what the politicians need to do is - if the wrong thing is happening - change the law to prevent that tax avoidance happening."
Shadow leader of the House of Commons Angela Eagle turned her fire on Take That star Gary Barlow, who with two bandmates, is facing questions about £26m they are alleged to have invested in a scheme that is facing a legal challenge from HMRC.
The Labour MP said: "The prime minister rushed to the TV studios to condemn the tax avoidance scheme used by Jimmy Carr but he did not take the opportunity to condemn as morally repugnant the tax avoidance scheme used by Conservative supporter Gary Barlow, who's given a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Take That'.
"If it's all so morally repugnant, why has he just been given an OBE in the birthday honours list?
"Why is the prime minister's view of what's dodgy in the tax system so partial? Sir Philip Green has interesting tax arrangements but far from being labelled morally repugnant in a Mexico TV studio, he's got a government review to head up."
Retail magnate Sir Philip has firmly denied avoiding hundreds of millions of pounds in tax by transferring ownership of his Arcadia business, saying that Arcadia was bought by his wife, Lady Green, in 2002 and because she has not lived in the UK for 15 years no tax was due on any dividends that were paid to her.
During a joint press conference with Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi Mr Cameron declined to comment on Mr Barlow's tax affairs.
He said he was not "going to give a running commentary on different people's tax affairs", and said he had made "an exception yesterday... it was a particularly egregious example".
Mr Carr, who has satirised "fat cat" bankers, is reported to protect £3.3m a year from tax by channelling cash through the K2 scheme, which is under investigation by HMRC.
The comedian is thought to be one of more than 1,000 beneficiaries who shelter some £168m from the taxman each year using the company.

The 26-year-old Scot's victory at Meadowbank also ensured he stretched his unbeaten record to nine fights.
Joubert, 35, came into the bout having lost only four of his 35 fights and he managed to inflict Taylor's first cut as a professional.
That, however, did nothing to stop the man from Prestonpans sealing the win.
Taylor, who with every triumph is edging closer to a British title fight, had admitted before the bout that he knew very little about his opponent.
That contributed to a cagey first round from both but the Scot undoubtedly held the advantage over the more experienced South African.
And the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist upped his work-rate in the second round, catching Joubert with a sharp left hook early on that had him rocking on his heels.
Taylor picked up a cut in the early rounds but it was unclear whether that was the result of a shot or a clash of heads.
The Scot maintained his offensive intensity in round three with a flurry of punches to the body that sapped the energy from his rival. Joubert could not cope with Taylor's hand-speed and time and again he was forced back into the corner of the ring.
In the fifth round Taylor looked to press home his advantage, having clearly worked out his opponent's style and found holes in his defences. Another trademark left hook shook the South African but the round finished before the Scot could inflict any more punishment.
The bell only delayed the inevitable, though, and after one minute and 27 seconds of the sixth round Taylor unleashed a series of punches that left Joubert on the deck. The South African got to his feet but his corner had thrown in the towel before the referee could count to 10.
It was a well deserved win for Taylor, who has previously expressed a desire to meet countryman and WBA super lightweight champion Ricky Burns in a Scottish super-fight.
Reporter Linton Besser and cameraman Louie Eroglu, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, said they were not deported but escorted through the airport by police.
The pair approached Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday asking about corruption claims, which he denies.
Their detention had raised concerns over press freedom.
It was thought they would be charged with obstructing a public official but the charges were dropped, the ABC said. Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu arrived in Singapore on Tuesday.
Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Malaysia was not obstructing the media, but that foreign media workers "must perform their duties according to the journalism ethics".
For months, the Malaysian government has discouraged scrutiny over the corruption allegations, including blocking news outlets that have reported extensively on them.
Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu had approached Mr Najib while he was visiting a mosque in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak state.
They attempted to ask Mr Najib about a $681m (£478m) payment from the 1MDB state investment fund to his personal account.
Mr Najib has been cleared of personal wrongdoing by Malaysian prosecutors but a number of international investigations are ongoing.
A statement issued by Malaysian police to news agency Bernama said the two men crossed a "security line and aggressively tried to approach the prime minister".
"Both of them were subsequently arrested for failing to comply with police instructions not to cross the security line," the statement said.
In an email to staff, the ABC's director of news, Gaven Morris, said Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu did not believe they had crossed a police line and had not obstructed officials.
He said they had "fully co-operated with the police" and were receiving consular and legal support. | A Pakistani court has ordered a stay on the deportation of more than 100 Turkish teachers accused of links to a supposed terrorist organisation.

Diego Costa's first-half shot was deflected wide for the visitors, while Etienne Capoue's fierce drive was kept out by Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois.
Heurelho Gomes's superb one-handed save from Costa's header denied Chelsea victory late on.
The draw moves Chelsea up to 13th on 29 points, while Watford are four points and four places better off.
Re-live Watford's draw with Chelsea
Watford started their first season back in the Premier League in blistering fashion, with eight wins before Christmas propelling them into the top 10.
However, that form took a turn for the worse as they lost four successive league games from 28 December.
Hornets boss Quique Sanchez Flores brought in Costel Pantilimon from Sunderland during the January transfer window and if his intention was to challenge his first-choice keeper to raise his game, it appears to have worked.
Gomes put in a man-of-the-match performance against Chelsea, reacting swiftly to keep out Branislav Ivanovic from close range and Costa in the final few minutes.
"I believe the goalkeeper has to do things like that [make key saves]," Gomes told BBC Sport.
"We got a point against a very good side and I was glad to make a difference."
This game saw both the best and worst of Costa.
The striker, particularly in the first half, was at it his bustling best - a particular highlight was the moment he brought down and controlled Cesc Fabregas' long ball, and turned Watford defenders inside out before shooting just wide.
However, he also struggled to control his temper after he was pulled up by referee Mike Dean for shoving over Sebastian Prodl in the Watford box. He got involved in an angry exchange with Juan Carlos Paredes that led to both players been booked.
Chelsea defender John Terry caused a bit of a stir on Sunday when he announced that he will leave the club this summer, saying he had not been offered a new deal.
Hiddink suggested on Tuesday that the Stamford Bridge door was not closed, however, and fans who travelled to Vicarage Road showed their support for their long-serving captain.
There was a loud cheer when his name was read out before kick-off, while some fans held up banners with the words "Captain, Leader, Legend" on them.
Generally, the 35-year-old was solid against Watford, although a misjudged jump in his attempt to clear a cross for Odion Ighalo hinted at why his time at the heart of the Chelsea defence could be coming to an end.
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "We're happy. We've shown we can get points against the big teams - you see it against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The competitive level of the team is very high."
Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink on incident involving Costa and Watford's Paredes: "It was clear and in front of our eyes. Costa was punched in the back and then he stumbled and brought his hands to his head. I was trying to protect my player because he was provoked.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"This league is physical. When you see our central defenders and our opponent's central defenders. He [Costa] likes to go physical but he must do within the rules. Some times players get physical and he has to get used to that."
On Terry: "First we'll see him often this season. What the future brings is up to him and the club."
Watford travel to Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday while Chelsea host Manchester United on the following day.
It is a particular problem in more affluent countries, with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedrooms late at night.
Sleep deprivation is such a serious disruption that lessons have to be pitched at a lower level to accommodate sleep-starved learners, the study found.
The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9 and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13 and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being adversely affected.
In literacy tests there were 76% of 9 and 10-year-olds lacking sleep.
This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.
Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep.
Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.
The analysis was part of the huge data-gathering process for global education rankings - the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS).
Five things that stop you sleepingBBC World Service Business Daily podcast
These are among the biggest international benchmarks for education standards, based on tests taken by more than 900,000 pupils in primary and secondary schools in more than 50 countries and regional administrations.
The rankings of results for maths, science and reading were published at the end of last year, with Asian education systems dominating the top of the tables.
But the researchers also wanted to find out more about the influence of home life. There has been much analysis of the impact of family wealth and poverty, but the Boston College researchers also wanted to measure factors such as sleep and nutrition.
So the tests were accompanied by questionnaires for teachers, pupils and parents about sleep patterns. And this information was compared with pupils' test results, so that the performance in maths, science and literacy could be compared with levels of sleep.
"I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show," says Chad Minnich, of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.
"It's the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition," says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College.
"If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your optimal level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic.
"Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, it's having a significant impact.
"But worse than that, teachers are having to modify their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep.
"The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction."
That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related dumbing-down.
The researchers uncovered regional trends that bucked expectations.
Asian countries are the highest-performing in maths tests - and Mr Minnich says this has often been associated with long hours and cramming in after-school classes.
"One would assume that they would be extremely tired," he said. "And yet when we look at the sleep factor for them, they don't necessarily seem to be suffering from as much sleep deprivation as the other countries."
Getting a good night's sleep isn't going to transform an underperforming country into an education superpower. For instance, the least sleepy pupils seem to be in Azerbaijan, but they are still considerably behind the most sleep-deprived pupils in Finland.
But researchers say that it does show how differently individual pupils might be placed on the ability spectrum, with lack of sleep representing the difference between being high-performing and average.
There are also big changes as pupils get older. Younger pupils in South Korea have among the lowest levels of sleep deprivation in the world, but in secondary school they have some of the worst problems.
There are differences within countries too. At the level of US states, among secondary pupils Colorado has a much worse problem with lack of sleep than Massachusetts.
What the study does not show is why young people are missing out on sleep - or why more technologically advanced countries seem to have the biggest difficulties.
But sleep experts point to a particular problem due to technology in children's bedroom - specifically the use of screens on smartphones or laptops late at night.
It isn't only that young people are kept awake by messaging their friends or using the internet. The light from the screen, held close to the face, is physically disruptive to the natural onset of sleep.
"Having a computer screen that is eight inches away from your face is going to expose you to a lot more light than watching a television on the opposite side of the room," says Karrie Fitzpatrick, sleep researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois.
"It's going to tell your brain to stay awake," says Dr Fitzpatrick.
"That light can reset the whole circadian rhythm system and say, 'Wait a minute, it's not time to go to bed'."
Lack of sleep is also a serious physical barrier to learning.
"Sleepiness is a problem at all stages that are relevant to learning, memory and academic performance," says Derk-Jan Dijk, director of the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey.
Research into sleep disorders and brain function has shown the importance of sleep in memory and consolidating information.
Without sleep, the brain struggles to absorb and retain ideas.
"There is a growing interest in the associations between adequate sleep and academic performance," says Prof Dijk.
Dr Fitzpatrick says lack of sleep is going to leave pupils more emotionally volatile, more potentially disruptive and physically struggling to learn.
And she says that the loss of sleep and short-term attempts to catch up can cause further and complex disruptions to the way the brain tries to store information.
But there is good news. If you start getting enough sleep on a regular basis, the loss to learning can be reversed.
"As long you haven't gone into extreme sleep deprivation, if you go back to seven to nine hours per night, as long as there has been no permanent damage, you can probably restore the functionality of accumulating, processing and being able to recall memories," says Dr Fitzpatrick.
"The basis of learning will likely be restored to normal levels."
Otherwise trying to study without sleep is going to be tough. "Your brain is running on empty."
Sean Emmett, 45, of Addlestone, Surrey, was detained when he landed at the airport in December 2013.
Abbie Emmett, 27, fell from a window at Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in the Gulf state on 19 February the same year.
Surrey Police said his bail had been cancelled and no further action would be taken against him.
Mr Emmett expressed anger at his treatment by Surrey Police in a series of tweets in 2014, saying the force should be "ashamed".
Det Insp Antony Archibald said the investigation into the death of Mrs Emmett, nee Elson, had been "challenging and complex" but would remain "live".
"This process has taken a considerable period of time but it is vital that we explore all lines of inquiry as part of our efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident."
He added: "We have liaised with the Elson family throughout our investigation and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time."
Mr Emmett found himself at the centre of a murder probe after his wife fell to her death during a 48-hour stopover in Dubai following their wedding and honeymoon in Cape Town, South Africa.
Her death was recorded as suicide and Dubai Police initially said they did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances.
But Mr Emmett, who won 19 British Superbike events during his career, was arrested when he went to a police station to complete paperwork relating to his wife's death.
The case was closed in November 2013 and Mr Emmett returned to the UK the following month, but he was held on suspicion of murder when he landed at Heathrow Airport.
His bail was renewed several times since then.
The infrastructure group said the rail network was enjoying a "renaissance", with train passenger numbers at an all-time high.
The number of rail passengers rose 5.7% in the year to 1.5 billion.
But the percentage of trains that ran on time fell to 90%, down from 90.9% a year ago and below its target of 92.5%.
Network Rail blamed train congestion caused by the increase in passenger numbers.
The number of people travelling by train last year has doubled in the 20 years since the privatisation of the rail network.
But Network Rail added severe winter weather, which caused flooding in many parts of the country and destroyed the railway line to the west country at Dawlish, also contributed to the delays.
Revenue rose to £6.3bn from £6.1bn a year earlier, Network Rail said.
It added that its profits would be re-invested in the rail network.
Mark Carne, Network Rail chief executive, said: "We are in the middle of a rail renaissance, with record levels of passenger numbers and record levels of investment. This flourishing sector is investing heavily to improve the railway for today and for tomorrow."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the rise in passenger numbers did pose "challenges" for the network, adding he was the "first to acknowledge that we need to do more to improve the reliability of the railway".
"We did not hit our regulatory targets... and I think we know we have to do better and we are very determined to address those issues so that we can provide the high quality of service that passengers expect," Mr Carne said.
In May, Network Rail, announced it had cut the annual bonuses for senior executives from a potential 160% of their salary to a maximum of 20%.
It added directors' salaries would not be increased to compensate for the cut in bonuses.
Network Rail said bonuses would be deferred for three years and could even be eliminated if performance targets - particularly on safety - were not met.

The success of The Accountant - in which Affleck's character Christian Wolff uses his accountancy office as a front for his work for criminal organisations - is the continuation of a long partnership between the actor and Warner Bros.
Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros president of domestic distribution, said: "We're in the Ben Affleck business and we're proud of it.
"Audiences just love him. We've had a lot of movies with him and we have a lot of movies coming up with him."
Affleck's previous films with the company include 2014's Gone Girl, which took $37.5m (£30.7m) on its opening weekend, and Argo, which launched with $19.5m (£16m) in 2012 and went on to win the best picture Oscar.
His future projects with the studio include mob drama Live By Night, which opens at Christmas, as well as a number of films in the DC comics franchise.
He is currently in pre-production on The Batman, which he will star in, write and direct.
The UK premiere of The Accountant takes place in London on Monday.

Many burned tyres and wore balaclavas; some carried white supremacist flags.
They called on the government to end the Minsk ceasefire accord and declare war on pro-Russian rebels in the east.
The demonstrators say the Russian government is bringing troops and equipment into Ukraine, a claim that Russia has always denied.
Many in the rally were from volunteer battalions and were dressed in their battle fatigues.
They said they had returned from fighting Russian forces and demanded an end to all diplomatic relations with Russia.
The ultra-nationalist Right Sector group called the march. Protesters also demanded the nationalisation of Russian-owned businesses.
More than 6,400 people have been killed in fighting in eastern Ukraine that began in April 2014 when rebels seized large parts of the two eastern regions. This followed Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula.
The BBC's David Stern in Kiev says Friday's rally was a show of strength in the heart of Ukrainian officialdom.
But above all, our correspondent says, the demonstrators were calling for change. Both in the way that the conflict is being fought in the east and in the way that the country is being run.
Central to their demands is an end to the Minsk ceasefire agreement signed in February which they say is a charade because of Russia's activities in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato all say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation.
But Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are volunteers.
Clashes between government troops and rebels have recently intensified.
Fierce fighting took place in June outside the rebel-held city of Donetsk, with Ukraine accusing the rebels of launching a full-scale offensive in violation of a truce.
The separatists denied this and accused Ukrainian troops stationed nearby of repeatedly shelling the city - a claim in turn denied by the Ukrainian military.
Sartori is also expected to have talks with stadium owner Firoz Kassam about the League One club's situation as tenants at the ground.
Monaco-based Sartori first expressed an interest in Oxford after watching their home game against Bolton in March.
The 36-year-old is the son-in-law of AS Monaco chairman and Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev.
Oxford United have been owned by chairman Darryl Eales since July 2014, and have won promotion from League Two and made two Wembley appearances in the EFL Trophy final since then.
Sartori has met with members of the club's supporters' trust, OxVox, and minority club shareholder Stewart Donald.
Eales, who has been unavailable for comment, is thought to have had contact with Sartori, the chairman of investment firm Union Group.
The club, who finished within four points of the League One play-off places this season, have been tenants at the Kassam Stadium since they moved from the Manor Ground in 2001.
OxVox have been in negotiations with Kassam to make the ground a community-owned asset.
O'Sullivan will compete alongside Day at the World Grand Prix in Llandudno, which starts on Tuesday.
The five-time world champion, 40, rescheduled an exhibition match in Morocco to play in north Wales after qualifying by winning the Welsh Open.
"I think he's the Tiger Woods of snooker," Day said. "He's the biggest draw and brings in more spectators."
O'Sullivan, who lost 10-7 to Judd Trump in last year's inaugural final, faces Michael Holt in round one on Tuesday.
"In every tournament I prefer to see Ronnie in the draw," Day said. "It brings something special to the event."
Woods is one of the greatest golfers of all-time, having won 14 majors, while O'Sullivan has been described by former world snooker champion Dennis Taylor as "the most naturally gifted player we have ever had in the game".
Day, 35, from Pontycymer, near Bridgend, is keen to do well at the World Grand Prix, given its added significance as a ranking event for the first time this year.
The Welshman is among 32 of the world's leading players who will be competing for ranking points as well as a first prize of £100,000.
Day, ranked 23rd in the world, had to win three qualifying matches to guarantee a place in the first round of last year's World Championship.
He wants to climb into the top 16 before this year's World Championship, which starts on 16 April.
"It's going to be a very difficult event but it's just a good opportunity to get more ranking points," Day said.
"The goal going towards the end of the season is to get into the 16 so you avoid the turmoil of having to qualify for the World Championship."
Day will be the first of four Welsh players in action at Venue Cymru when he faces Matthew Selt in round one on Tuesday at 19:00 GMT. The three other Welshmen all play their first round matches on Wednesday.
Wales's highest-ranked player, world number 14 Mark Williams, will take on defending champion Judd Trump on Wednesday at 14:00 GMT.
Michael White faces 2005 world champion Shaun Murphy and Jamie Jones will play against Kyren Wilson. White and Jones's matches are both scheduled for 20:00 GMT.
The "exhausted" bird was found on Talisman Sinopec's Clyde platform, about 160 miles offshore.
The pigeon, nicknamed Pedro by the workers on board, was flown by helicopter to Aberdeen.
It was then taken to the Scottish SPCA's National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross, where it was said to be making a good recovery.
Animal rescue officer Kirsty McQuade said: "It was actually my boyfriend Kevin Mitchell who found Pedro.
"He crash landed on deck and Kevin managed to catch him and take him inside.
"Pedro appeared to be exhausted and extremely thin so Kevin contacted me for advice. I advised him on what to feed Pedro and he was kept safe in a box on board.
"It was fantastic that Pedro was able to ride in the helicopter with the crew who were coming back to the mainland and we would like to thank everyone for their assistance."
Red Star OS was designed to superficially mimic Apple's OS X, but hidden features allow it to watermark files and tie them to an individual.
The covert tools were discovered by two German researchers who conducted the analysis over the past month.
They presented their findings at the Chaos Communication Congress on Sunday.
Florian Grunow and Niklaus Schiess pored over the code of Red Star OS version 3.0, which first surfaced online about a year ago.
The system's coders "did a pretty good job" of mimicking the basic design and functionality of Apple computers, Mr Grunow tells the BBC, but with a twist.
Any files uploaded to the system via a USB stick or other storage device can be watermarked, allowing the state to trace the journey of that file from machine to machine. Red Star can also identify undesirable files and delete them without permission.
The watermarking function was designed in response to the proliferation of foreign films and music being shared offline, says Mr Grunow. "It enables you to keep track of where a document hits Red Star OS for the first time and who opened it. Basically, it allows the state to track documents," he says.
The system will imprint files with its individual serial number, although it is not known how easily the state can link those serial numbers to individual users.
One element puzzling Mr Grunow is the discovery of an extended version of the watermarking software which he and Mr Schiess do not fully understand, but which he says may help identify individual users.
"What we have seen is the basic watermarking, but we found evidence of an extended mechanism that is far more sophisticated, with different cryptography," he says.
"It could be that this file is your individual fingerprint and they register this fingerprint to you, and that could help them track down individual users."
Red Star also makes it nearly impossible for users to modify the system. Attempts to disable its antivirus software or internet firewall will prompt the system to reboot.
The idea for an internal operating system was first conceived by Kim Jong-il, according to Mr Grunow. "He said North Korea must create their own operating system and that is what they've done.
"If you look at North Korea, Red Star resembles how the state is operating. It's pretty locked down, they focus on integrity a lot and they have mechanisms to track users."
As with many things about the world's most insular state, the extent to which Red Star is used in North Korea is not known. It is likely installed in libraries and other public buildings, says Mr Grunow, where operating systems can be decided by the state.
Red Star was built using Linux, a free and open-source platform which can be modified at will, and was designed that way to make it as accessible as possible. There is an inherent irony in North Korea's use of the system, says Mr Grunow.
"They are using a system that was built to promote free speech, and they are abusing it by watermarking free speech," he says.
More ironic still is the name of the file used by Red Star to hunt for suspicious files on the machine: "The pattern file we found which is used by the so-called anti-virus software is called Angae," says Mr Grunow.
"That translates to fog or mist - as in, to obfuscate or not be transparent. We have no idea why they picked this name, but it fits, doesn't it?"
Around 800 cannabis plants and 30kgs of cannabis herb were discovered following searches in Ballyshannon.
Two men, aged 40 and 41, have been arrested.
At about 16:00 local time, police found a large cannabis cultivation operation at lands and premises in Carrickboy.
The 2009 world champion is standing in for McLaren's Fernando Alonso as the Spaniard races in the Indianapolis 500.
The 37-year-old Briton, who retired at the end of last season, was 12th quickest in Thursday's practice.
However, he said it was "fun" and "a privilege" to driving an F1 car again.
Button, a winner in Monaco eight years ago, admitted it was taking time to get used to the extra speed of the 2017 cars following rule changes that have made them faster and more demanding.
"It is very different to last year in terms of how late you can brake," said Button, who was one place behind and just 0.035 seconds slower than team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne.
"I'm braking for corners and just feel I'm going to be in the barriers.
"It's strange initially but I'm getting to grips with it. High speed (corners) are so much fun - so much fun. The first part of the Swimming Pool is flat (out on the throttle). I can't remember the last time it was flat. Probably hasn't ever been for me.
"Turn Three heading into Casino is a lot of fun as well. But there are braking areas where I have a lot of work still to do, to get confidence, to brake hard.
"It is the old beginner's thing in F1 - where you brake early, lift off early, turn in too early, accelerate too early and understeer off.
"There is a lot to come and hopefully I can sort myself out on Saturday morning after I have been through all the data."
Button said he had "had a little smile" to himself when he headed out for his first lap in Monaco on Thursday.
"It's a lovely experience to drive these cars," he said. "Have I missed it? No. But when you jump in the car you definitely enjoy the moment you have. I have enjoyed practice, but FP2 was a bit of a struggle to really find my feet with the car because there is a lot of grip with the ultra-soft tyres.
"But I am definitely getting there and I am confident I can improve for Saturday."
The three patients include a 10-year-old boy from Paynesville, a suburb of the capital Monrovia.
All people with the symptom have been isolated, WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told the BBC.
Liberia has seen more than 10,000 Ebola cases and more than 4,000 deaths.
The country's Health Minister Bernice Dahn said six of the boy's relatives and other high-risk contacts have been taken to an Ebola Treatment Unit in Paynesville.
"The hospital is currently decontaminating the unit. All of the healthcare workers who came in contact with the patient have been notified," she said.
On Thursday night, before the new case emerged, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf delivered a speech praising "the resilience" of Liberians in overcoming the epidemic.
The country was first declared Ebola-free on 9 May, but new cases emerged in June resulting in two deaths. It was declared free of the virus again on 3 September.
Liberia recorded its first Ebola case in March last year and analysts believe the latest cases are a serious set-back for the country.
The new cases in Liberia was announced just days after Guinea, where the epidemic started, said it had no more Ebola cases.
If no more cases are detected for 42 days, it would be declared free of the virus.
Sierra Leone was declared free of Ebola on 7 November.
More than 11,000 people have died of the disease since December 2013, the vast majority of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Rugby fans were greeted with the sight on Friday morning as the city prepares to host eight matches as well as a month-long Fanzone event at Cardiff Arms Park.
The first two matches at the Millennium Stadium are on Saturday and Sunday.
But visitors to Cardiff have been urged to plan ahead with roads and transport services set to be busy.
A bus strike has been suspended, but some services will be diverted.
Post-match queuing will operate at Cardiff Central train station with park and ride sites available for drivers.
In the first of eight fixtures at the Millennium Stadium, Ireland v Canada kicks off at 14:30 BST on Saturday and Wales will take on Uruguay at 14:30 on Sunday.
Arriva Trains Wales said in a statement on its website extra capacity has been added to its services in the Cardiff-area.
However, it warned services "will be busy over the whole weekend and there may be standing room only on many trains".
"In particular, for fans travelling to Cardiff from Bridgend, Pencoed, Llanharan, Pontyclun and Cwmbran, Pontypool and Abergavenny, these services are likely to be extremely busy by the time they reach these stations," the statement said.
Arriva is advising customers to catch the earliest trains as possible in order to arrive in plenty of time for the game.
Post-match queuing systems will be in place at Cardiff Central Station, while Cardiff Queen Street will close at 16:00 after both the weekend's games.
Train passengers have also been advised to buy tickets in advance to avoid extra congestion.
Park and ride sites across Cardiff will be running five hours before kick-off until four hours after the final whistle on each match day, according to official advice, however, spaces must be pre-booked.
Cardiff Bus has announced diversions to some city centre services from 12:30 to 18:30 on Saturday and Sunday.
People travelling during the tournament have been urged to follow the @RWC2015Travel Twitter handle for regular updates.
The work could shine a light on long-standing questions about dinosaur physiology, including whether specific species were warm- or cold-blooded.
Chemical analysis revealed similarities between blood cells from fossils and those from living emu.
The work appears in the journal Nature Communications.
Examining part of a fossilised dinosaur claw, the Imperial College London researchers identified tiny ovoid structures with an inner denser core that resembled red blood cells.
And in another fossil fragment, they found fibrous features with a banded structure similar to that seen in modern-day collagen - found in the tendons, skin and ligaments of animals.
It's not the first time such remnants have been found in dinosaur fossils, but co-author Susannah Maidment told BBC News: "All of the previous reports of original components of soft tissues in dinosaur fossils have tended to be in specimens that are really exceptionally preserved - one-offs, really, that require special pleading to explain how they got preserved."
By contrast, the fossils in this study, which have been lying in the London Natural History Museum collections for more than a century, are largely in a poor state of preservation.
"They're very scrappy, individual broken bones. I can't even tell you what dinosaur they come from," said Dr Maidment, who is from Imperial College London.
"If you're finding soft tissues in these kinds of fossils, maybe this kind of preservation might be more common than we realised, and might even be the norm."
The structures appear to be genuine remnants of soft tissue; they are not fossilised.
Using a mass spectrometer, they carried out chemical analysis of the putative collagen protein and the candidate blood cells.
They discovered fragments in the collagen of what look like amino acids - the building blocks of all proteins.
And the chemical profile of the blood cells looked very similar to that obtained from the red blood cells of an emu, which - like all birds - is a direct descendent of dinosaurs.
"There's an extremely well-known relationship within individual vertebrate groups that the smaller the red blood cell, the faster the metabolic rate," said Dr Maidment.
"Animals with fast metabolic rates will tend to be warm blooded, while animals with slower metabolic rates are going to be more cold blooded."
The subject of whether dinosaurs were cold- or warm blooded has preoccupied palaeontologists for decades, because it can provide pointers to the types of lifestyles dinosaurs had.
Were they more bird-like in their behaviour, or more sluggish, like reptiles?
The red blood cells found in this study were small compared with their counterparts in the emu, but the dinosaur cells will have shrunk and curled up over time.
Furthermore, scientists don't yet understand the relationship between red blood cell size and metabolic rate within dinosaurs, so scientists will need a bigger sample from different species of dinosaur to shed useful light on the debate.
However, said Dr Maidment, "if we can find red blood cells in lots of different dinosaurs and measure them, we might be able to start to understand which dinosaurs had fast metabolic rates, which were approaching warm bloodedness, which were truly warm blooded, and which were cold blooded".
Study of the apparent collagen fibres could shed light on the relationships between different dinosaur species.
A technique called collagen fingerprinting is based on the idea that the structure of the collagen molecule is unique to individual animals.
"Most closely related animals will have a more similar collagen structure than more distantly related animals," said Dr Maidment.
"If we could extract some of the collagen... and we could find it in lots of different dinosaurs, it could give us a sense of relatedness within the dinosaur family tree."
Co-author Dr Sergio Bertazzo said: "We still need to do more research to confirm what it is that we are imaging in these dinosaur bone fragments.
"If we can confirm that our initial observations are correct, then this could yield fresh insights into how these creatures once lived and evolved."
Prof Mary Schweitzer from North Carolina State University, who was not involved with the latest study, said she appreciated the caution with which the group interpreted their data.
"All in all, I think that papers like these which present data from multiple lines of investigation, and which are cautious in interpretation do much to advance the field, show that fossils are more than 'just rocks', and open the door to the possibility that materials persist in ancient fossils that were not thought possible only a few years ago," she told BBC News.
Prof Schweitzer added: "They did find amino acids consistent with proteins, but the data they presented do not really identify which proteins; for that they need additional data.
"But it is a great start, and an exciting paper, particularly in showing what happens when you really look at ancient bone and are not bound by the expectation that 'nothing could possibly persist'. If you don't look, you won't find. But if you do, you never know."
On the outside possibility of ever finding DNA in dinosaur remains, Dr Maidment commented: "We haven't found any in our fossils... however, I think it's unwise to say we'll never find any in future."

The island's in the South Pacific Ocean and researchers think almost 38 million pieces of rubbish are on its beaches.
No-one lives there but it is home to wildlife.
It's hoped a new floating barrier that can separate out rubbish that gathers in the ocean will be able to help the island.

A news helicopter filmed the miles-long gridlock on the 405 motorway in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday.
"It's called the 405 for a reason: It takes you '4 o' 5' hours to get anywhere," one Facebook user quipped.
Almost 49 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles for Thursday's turkey feast holiday.
That's a million more than last year, and the most since 2007, according to the American Automobile Association.
Some social media users said it looked like the 405 interstate - which is no stranger to congestion - had been decorated with Christmas lights.
Another called the gridlock "the Most Epic Mannequin Challenge EVER!"
Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims' 17th Century arrival in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where they dined with the Native-Americans at the first holiday meal.
The Transocean Winner came ashore at Dalmore during a storm while it was being towed from Norway to Malta.
The leader of the salvage team confirmed that an attempt to refloat the rig would be made on the high tide at about 22:00 on Monday.
Diesel oil has been successfully transferred onto a supply vessel and taken to Stornoway.
Since the grounding on the 8 August, a team from Smit Salvage, representatives from Transocean and a range of other experts have moved workers, engineering and shipping resources to Lewis to help with the refloat.
Sylvia Tervoort, salvage master with Smit Salvage, said: "We are checking and pressurising the tanks that we'll need for the refloating. Everything is installed ready for use and we're testing each compartment for the attempt at tomorrow's high tide."
Ms Tervoort said there was still a possibility that part of the rock on which the rig had grounded could be sticking up inside the pontoon structure below the waterline.
She said: "We could have used just one tug, but we have chosen to use two. We are not completely sure about the seabed and the pinnacles sticking in the rig. There are always things in salvage for which you can't account."
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said that salvage teams were still going over calculations and possibilities to ensure the refloat was successful.
He said the risk of any pollution from materials on board the rig had been reduced even further since the operation on Saturday.
"Transocean have successfully transferred approximately 200 tonnes of diesel onto one of the supply vessels, the Olympic Orion and she's back in Stornoway with that this morning," he said.
The towing lines are in place, ready to be picked up by two tugs once the final preparations start on Monday afternoon.
Mr Shaw has now given formal permission for the refloat. He said that even if there was a problem with snagging rocks, any further damage to the rig should not pose a problem.
"There is only a small amount of diesel left in the tanks because of the way the rig is listing," he said. "But even if there are further breaches of the tanks, it's unlikely we'll see any significant amounts being released into the environment."
Once this series of high tides pass, the tide will not reach similar heights for another two weeks at the beginning of September.
However, Ms Tervoort said that if unforeseen problems meant that the refloat attempt on Monday was not successful, they were still not out of time with this series of tides.
"We still have to go on for the next two high tides," she said. "If we can't refloat this time, there might be different reasons for that and we have to go back and rewrite the plans and try again on the next high tide.
"But we are confident that at the next high tide with all the tanks pressurised we can float the rig from the rocks."
Mr Shaw said that once the rig was freed it would have to be examined thoroughly to see if repairs were necessary before a decision was taken where to scrap it.
It will be towed to Broad Bay on the east coast of Lewis.
On Saturday, the salvage team successfully transferred diesel oil on a 17,000-tonne grounded rig from pontoon tanks to a safer position above sea level.
The oil was then moved onto the Olympic Orion.
Coastguards said no pollution from the oil transfer had been detected.
A temporary exclusion zone of 300m (984ft) remains in place around the rig.
More than 12,000 gallons (56,000 litres) of diesel oil were lost from two tanks on the Transocean Winner after it came ashore. The fuel is said to have evaporated and not caused a pollution incident.
The Team Sky road captain suffered injuries including a broken rib in a crash on the opening stage, but rode on to support team leader Froome.
"It's been brutal," said the Welshman.
"It's been the hardest Tour. I crashed on stage one and it just whacked me, broke a rib, hit my head and really shook me up."
Froome secured the yellow jersey in Saturday's penultimate stage, a 22.5km time trial in Marseille, extending his overall lead from 23 to 54 seconds with Rigoberto Uran second and Romain Bardet dropping to third.
Tradition dictates that no general classification rivals attack the yellow jersey on the final stage in Paris on Sunday, meaning Froome should win the race in Paris.
Geraint Thomas, Rowe's fellow rider from Cardiff - who became the first Welshman to wear the yellow jersey - was forced out with a broken collarbone after a crash on stage nine when second in the overall standings.
Rowe admits that if his own crash had not been in the Tour de France, then he might also have withdrawn because of his injuries.
"You never like to go home [early] from a race, but there's times I was in a bit of a mess, times were pretty tough," Rowe admitted.
"But when you've got the yellow jersey in the team and what I believe to be the best rider in the world, you're in that position where you've got to defend yellow.
"The only way you go home is if you physically can't ride your bike or missed the time limit... but if it had been another race then yeah, it could have been an early taxi.
"I knew I had a job to do and I battled through and did it.
"The first 10-12 days I was really struggling, the toughest Grand Tour I've ever done.
"It's been quite nice on a personal achievement to be here [at the end], to have made it to Paris. It's been a tough three weeks."
Rowe is in line to claim the lanterne rouge, an unofficial award for the cyclist who completes the Tour in last place, as he finished in 167th in Marseille.
Unlike in other sports where last is seen as failure, the lanterne rouge carries respect as it honours the role of the domestiques - the team riders who sacrifice their own ambitions to help their team leader's bid for yellow.
Rowe has spent much of the 2017 Tour chasing down breakaways at the front, then bringing up the rear of the peloton having spent all his energy in Froome's cause.
The 27-year-old again typified that role in Saturday's time trial, as his earlier efforts were used to help his fellow Team Sky riders.
"For me it was more a case of absorbing as much information as possible that I could feed back to the lads, that was the most important thing," Rowe added.
"There was quite a bit of wind out there, a cobbled section, so where's best to ride, check out a few of the bends and... feed it back.
"It's a time trial with some big, long and straight boulevards so there's plenty of places to put the power down, then stay calm on the technical sections."

In an interview after his arrest, the 28-year-old England international admitted kissing the girl, but denied more serious sexual contact.
A jury at Bradford Crown Court heard Mr Johnson told officers he "knew it was wrong" and that he "had a girlfriend".
He denies two counts of sexual activity with a child.
In the interview, conducted after his arrest at his County Durham home, Mr Johnson admitted exchanging messages with the girl on social media before meeting her to sign football shirts.
He also admitted kissing her at a second meeting on 30 January last year, but denied it was passionate and repeatedly denied more serious sexual conduct.
Mr Johnson told detectives: "I knew it was wrong. I have a girlfriend for one. Lots of reasons. I've got a family, a career.
"I said to myself 'it was poor ... I should have known better'."
During the interview, the player denied undoing the teenager's jeans or touching her intimately, adding: "I did not touch her down her pants or anything like that."
Mr Johnson agreed he had met the girl after they had talked on WhatsApp about a "thank you kiss" for him signing the shirts.
He added: "She came into the car and she said about a thank you kiss. It was just like a normal kiss. Just how you would kiss someone."
The interviewing officer, Det Con Kimberley Walton, asked the footballer why, when he was arrested, he told his girlfriend, Stacey Flounders, the teenager told him she was 16.
Mr Johnson said he had been trying to keep the truth from Miss Flounders and he had not been trying to deceive the police.
He said: "It was more between me and her. I didn't want to go back home and she'd taken my daughter and didn't give me a chance to explain myself.
"I sort of just panicked. I wasn't going to keep it from you (the police)."
Earlier, Mr Johnson admitted he had created a new Snapchat account to talk to the teenager, who cannot be named, so Miss Flounders could not see it.
He said they had had problems in the past with him "texting girls and stuff".
He said: "It was more to hide it from my girlfriend, if you know what I mean."
Dr Paul Hunton, a forensic computers expert, told the jury a Google search for "legal age of consent" was made on Mr Johnson's phone four days after he met the girl.
He described how he examined an iPhone 6 from Mr Johnson's house and verified a series of web pages were accessed on 3 February last year.
The court heard Miss Flounders, also 28, quizzed Mr Johnson about the age of the girl.
Det Con Walton agreed that Miss Flounders said to him: "Who is she?"
The officer also agreed that he replied: "It's (the girl's name). I just gave her a couple of shirts."
The court heard that Miss Flounders said: "How old is she?"
And Mr Johnson replied: "Well, she said she was 16."
The footballer has previously pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one charge of grooming. He was sacked by Sunderland as a result.
The trial continues.
Keane, who missed the warm-up games against the Netherlands and Belarus with a calf injury, trained with his leg strapped.
Jonathan Walters and Robbie Brady sat out the session in Abbotstown.
The squad were given the weekend off but resumed training on Monday and will travel to France on Wednesday.
Manager Martin O'Neill put the squad through their paces at their Dublin base with Everton midfielder James McCarthy also taking a full part in the session having recovered from his groin and hamstring injury.
Stoke forward Walters sat out the warm-up as he gets over his Achilles strain, as did Norwich winger Brady.
The pair trained separately but are expected to be fully fit for the Group E opener at the Stade de France.
The Republic face Belgium and Italy after their match against Sweden.
At the end of the first week of a review of the 56 stalled proceedings, Lord Justice Weir said matters "needed to be taken out of neutral and put into a forward-moving gear".
He suggested that better training for those engaged in redaction work might be of benefit.
The review will continue next week.
The two-week review into 56 legacy cases began on Monday.
The cases involve 95 deaths where inquests have still to be heard.
These include some of the most controversial killings during the Troubles.
GVC Holdings has raised its takeover bid to about £1bn, topping an offer from 888 Holdings.
888 bid £898m for the firm earlier this month, an offer Bwin accepted.
GVC said it was "working on finalising" its bid, which Bwin said would be considered by its board, although it cautioned "there can be no certainty that an offer will be made by GVC".
GVC's offer is worth 122.5 pence per share, which will be made up of 25 pence in cash and 1 new GVC share.
The 888 deal valued Bwin shares at 104.09p each. This latest move comes less than six months after 888 rejected a takeover bid from William Hill, which valued it at about £750m.
Online gambling companies are merging to try and reduce operating costs as they are exposed to stricter regulation.
"This is a real statement of intent from GVC. The proposed premium over the accepted offer by 888 is such that the bwin.party board will probably have no choice but to reconsider its acceptance of the 888 offer," analysts at Davy Research said.
"We would be surprised if 888 does not come back with a counter-offer of its own."
Craig Levein, the club's director of football, said earlier this week that the 23-year-old wants to leave Hearts.
In a statement on Thursday, Hearts aimed to "correct some misinformation" surrounding Walker's contractual situation.
"It would seem that the player would prefer to see out the remaining year of his contract."
Walker came through Hearts' development system, has been a first-team regular at Tynecastle since 2012 and is under contract until 2018.
Levein said head coach Ian Cathro had "been through quite an extensive discussion with Jamie to try to get him to stay".
The director of football added: "Jamie said he has been here a long time and feels it is time to move on."
On Thursday, Hearts addressed "ill-informed and potentially damaging stories relating to Jamie Walker and his contractual position with the club".
"Naturally, the club wants him to stay and made earnest efforts to secure his long-term future here at Hearts," the statement added.
"Those efforts were reflected in the new three-year deal offered to the player in February 2017, one which would've made Jamie the highest paid player at the club.
"Despite Jamie initially agreeing to sign this contract, the club was then informed that he had changed his mind and would not be signing the new deal.
"Despite the club doing everything in its power to hold onto, and reward, one of its top youth products, it would seem that the player would prefer to see out the remaining year of his contract, leaving the club in a no-win situation.
"The club has no desire to lose a talent such as Jamie. He is a firm favourite both with the fans and indeed the management. Nor would it stand in the way of any player who does not want to sign a contract and play for Hearts.
"We must protect the interests of the fans and the business when faced with such a scenario.
"Hearts totally refute any suggestion that a member of the club board or senior executive would be less than honest with any information provided to the media or the fans and it was insulting to see such accusations and falsehoods spread across social media."
"We're not making a Smurfs 3 film," said its director Kelly Asbury.
"Our story will explore the beginnings of the beloved little blue creatures in a fun full CG-animated comedy-adventure for every generation to enjoy."
The August 2015 release will follow two live action/CGI "hybrids" in which the Smurfs interacted with human actors.
The new film, Asbury added, "will be stylistically closer to the original artwork created by Peyo".
Peyo was the pen name of Pierre Culliford, the Belgian comic book artist who in 1958 created Les Schtroumpfs, as they are known in their home country.
Asbury's previous films include 2011's Gnomeo & Juliet and 2004's Shrek 2, which he co-directed with Andrew Adamson and Conrad Vernon.
Released in 2011, the first Smurfs film made $142.6m (£85.6m) in the US and Canada and more than $563.7m (£338.4m) worldwide, according to the Box Office Mojo website.
Yet its 2013 follow-up did not perform as strongly, making just $71m (£42.6m) in North America and £347.5m (£208.6m) in total.
It is not known whether US singer Katy Perry will return to provide the voice for Smurfette, the only female in the fantasy village where her mischievous species reside.
Sony Pictures Animation has also announced plans for a fully computer-generated return of spinach-eating sailor Popeye, to be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky of Hotel Transylvania fame.
Bomb Gaza - in which players control an Israeli military jet that attacks missile-firing Palestinian militants - is no longer available on the sites.
But Rocket Pride - which sees players attempt to outmanoeuvre Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system - is still available on Google Play.
Advocacy groups criticised the games.
"Games that glorify violence or normalise conflict when referring to an actual conflict that is happening as we speak are deeply problematic and deeply distasteful," Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab British Understanding, told the BBC.
"Google, Facebook or any other company that host such games, should be reviewing their policies and making absolutely all efforts to ensure that such games are not hosted on their platforms."
Amnesty International UK added that it thought the games were "in highly questionable taste" bearing in mind the "terrible suffering" caused by the conflict.
"[Gamers] should consider closing their war games app and instead read about real life right now in Gaza City, Rafah or indeed in southern Israel," said Allan Hogarth, the group's head of policy.
A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews said it needed to look into the titles in question before commenting.
The Daily Dot was one of the first news sites to bring attention to the phenomenon when it named several Android games relating to the conflict on Monday.
Many of the titles that are still online were released in the past few weeks and involve the player taking control of Israel's Iron Dome system to destroy incoming missiles.
"Intercept the rockets launched by Hamas by clicking on them and activating the Iron Dome. Hurry up, civilians are threatened and you will be held responsible if anything happens," reads the description of Iron Dome by Gamytech.
Apple's iOS store features a similar title - Iron Dome Missile Defense, released by Simon Rosenzweig on 30 July - however, its description is more vague, referring instead to an unnamed "enemy".
Google Play also features Rocket Pride by Best Arabic Games, in which the player is tasked with "supporting heroes besieged in the Gaza Strip from an oppressive occupier" by "controlling the resistance missiles and hitting the objectives assigned to them".
Google has, however, removed:
The games had attracted negative reviews from some other Android device owners before being deleted.
A spokeswoman for Google would not discuss specific apps, but said: "We remove apps from Google Play that violate our policies."
The firm's developer's terms and conditions ban apps that advocate "against groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin", and/or are judged to threaten other users.
A spokesman for Facebook was unable to provide comment or confirm who was responsible for removing Bomb Gaza from its platform.
Other titles relating to the conflict - including Raid Gaza, a Flash-based game - have also been released to run on desktop computers.
One industry watcher suggested the major mobile app store owners were relatively well positioned to tackle complaints.
"The difference between Google Play and Apple iOS is that on the Apple's store apps are vetted before they are listed, while on Play, Google curates but only takes things down after they are published," said Ian Fogg, a tech analyst at the IHS consultancy.
"But in both examples they are managed experiences, which makes them better at handling this kind of thing than random websites that allow an app to be downloaded to a PC."
The foreign ministry approved the extradition in May but Guzman's lawyers have been fighting the decision in a district court.
They say they will now take the case to a higher court.
The head of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel was recaptured in January after escaping for a second time from a maximum security prison.
Mexico has said it expects to extradite Guzman to the US by February. He faces multiple charges in the US, including drug trafficking and murder.
In a statement, the Mexican attorney general's office said the federal judge had "decided to reject the protection" sought by Guzman.
Andres Granados, one of Guzman's lawyers, said he would seek a Supreme Court hearing and might take the case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
"We are not defeated," he told AFP news agency.
Guzman is being held in a maximum security prison in Ciudad Juarez, near the US border. He was arrested in January after six months on the run following his escape through a tunnel in his jail cell.
He had already escaped a maximum security facility once before, spending 13 years at large.
Mexico agreed to transfer Guzman in May after the US guaranteed he would not face the death penalty.
The device was demoed at the CES tech show where it autonomously detected and avoided a fallen object.
Intel part-owns Yuneec, the company behind the drone, and provided the device's 3D camera sensor.
The RealSense technology involved uses infrared lasers to detect the distance of nearby things.
Should evasive action be necessary, the aircraft takes it on its own.
At CES, the Typhoon H drone followed a cyclist through a small course on stage, complete with a handful of mock "trees".
When one of these obstacles was made to fall in the drone's path, it dodged it, and thereby avoided a collision.
"The drone was able to stop, wait and go round that obstacle as well - following the rider all the time," said Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich.
"Any other commercial drone out there would have crashed into the tree."
The Typhoon H also has a 4K camera which has can pan 360-degrees and take photographs with a 12 megapixel sensor.
Intel said it would be on sale within six months. It is set to cost $1,799 (£1,200).
Features such as collision avoidance are not likely to prevent the kind of tumbles which nearly caught skier Marcel Hirsher last month, commented IHS analyst Tom Morrod, when a drone malfunctioned.
"There's a safety aspect which is probably not going to go away - things that fly occasionally crash," he said.
However, he added, the benefits of more intelligent drones are not to be underestimated.
"Things like collision avoidance, self navigation, spatial awareness - all of these technologies that take away the manual control of the drones are enabling drones for commercial purposes," he said.
"Those could be security or delivery or maintenance, all of those types of applications - that's going to be what really drives the market."
Another safety conscious drone at CES comes in the form of Belgian firm Fleye's device. It encloses its spinning blades within both a shell and a cage to help reduce the risk of injury.
However, as a demo for the BBC proved, it is still possible for the device to swerve off-course and crash.
Parrot announced another new drone - one capable of flying much further and faster than helicopter-inspired devices, thanks to a fixed wing design.
The Disco drone can fly for up to 45 minutes and follow a pre-planned flight path via GPS waypoints.
Its on-board camera is embedded into the drone's nose and captures video in 1080p high definition.
Parrot hopes to make the device available later in 2016.
"This 'drone on steroid' speaks to the innovation in this wave of consumer drones," said Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Research.
"We believe this is a $3bn market opportunity over the next few years and high-octane drones like Parrot's are a sign of things to come."

Raising productivity in the UK is seen by many experts as crucial to boosting economic growth in the UK.

The image by Atena Farghadani depicted MPs casting votes on the proposed legislation as animals.
Ms Farghadani, 28, faces charges of spreading propaganda, insulting MPs, and insulting the supreme leader.
The laws would end decades of family planning in Iran, outlawing vasectomies and restricting contraception.
Ms Farghadani was first arrested in August 2014, when her home was raided by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, and taken to Gharchak prison.
She was released in December but was rearrested again in January after posting a video online in which she alleged that she had been beaten by prison guards and interrogated for up to nine hours a day.
Three weeks after being rearrested, Ms Farghadani went on hunger strike to protest against conditions at the prison. She was taken to hospital in late February after suffering a heart attack and briefly losing consciousness.
She has since been held in solitary confinement in Tehran's Evin Prison.
Raha Bahreini, an Iran researcher for Amnesty International, told the BBC: "We are very concerned that Atena has even been put on trial.
"She is a prisoner of conscience and she has been held solely because of her opinions and for exercising the right to free expression.
"From our point of view she must be released immediately and unconditionally."
Ms Bahreini said that her trial might be as short as just one day. If convicted of the charges, she could face up to two years' imprisonment.
The draft laws mocked by Ms Farghadani's cartoon would outlaw vasectomies for men and voluntary sterilisation for women, and restrict women's access to birth control.
The legislation was widely criticised when it was announced in March. Amnesty said that if approved by parliament, it would set women's rights in Iran back by decades.
Women's rights groups warned that restricting access to birth control risked forcing women into unsafe abortions.
Ms Farghadani's cartoon has been shared on Twitter and Facebook since her arrest using the hashtag #freeatena, and a Facebook page set up to document her case has attracted messaged of support from around the world.
Responding to the charges laid against her in an open letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ms Farghadani said: "What you call an 'insult to representatives of the parliament by means of cartoons' I consider to be an artistic expression of the home of our nation (parliament), which our nation does not deserve!"
An Amnesty petition calling for Ms Farghadani's release garnered 33,000 signatures and was presented at the Iranian embassy in London on Monday.
Data released for the first time, shared with BBC News, reveals the most popular locations outside London that people share with their followers.
Stonehenge, the Reading Festival and Manchester United's ground Old Trafford all appear high on the list.
Manchester was England's most Instagrammed city after central London.
The capital has previously claimed all 10 of the most photographed locations in the UK, including Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrods and the Houses of Parliament.
The latest data concentrates on sites outside the capital's main tourism spots.
Instagram does not release figures for the number of times each location was photographed. However, a spokeswoman revealed its users were "twice as likely to Instagram Brighton Pier compared to the University of Oxford", which is the seventh most popular site.
Stonehenge was the second most popular location, with visitors taking selfies by the Neolithic monument in Wiltshire.
Marc Thorley, spokesman for Brighton Pier, said: "We get some really clear skies, which help create the perfect backdrop for amateur and professional photographers.
"It's an iconic place in British history, even if it hasn't been around as long as Stonehenge."

A new science, technology, engineering and maths centre has been proposed for its current site at the Markeaton Street campus.
The university said the facility, which will include workshop space and a wind tunnel, would help meet growing demand for its engineering courses.
The four-storey building will accommodate up to 400 students, according to the university.
Its law school is also moving from the current Kedleston Road campus to Friar Gate Square at the end of the year.
The university will lease the £20m copper-clad city centre building, which will include two mock courtrooms and a specialist library.
The Labour leader's opponents said his actions had torpedoed talks on having some shadow front bench positions elected by MPs, rather than appointed.
Ms Thornberry said negotiations were continuing and Mr Corbyn should not be criticised for acting decisively.
Parliamentary Labour Party chairman John Cryer said he was not informed.
Mr Cryer said in a letter to MPs that the party leadership had not told him, or sacked chief whip Rosie Winterton, about the changes.
The PLP had held talks with party leaders over possible shadow cabinet elections.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said he was willing to continue the discussions on the idea of the party electing some of the shadow cabinet.
Ms Thornberry told BBC Radio 4's Today programme criticism of Mr Corbyn was unfair.
"On the one hand people criticise Jeremy for being weak and taking too long on his reshuffles and yet when he decides that he needs to do one in order to fill vacancies and reach out, people then criticise him for being too decisive and too strong. You can't play it both ways," she said.
"We stop fighting among ourselves".
"We have a job to do. We were elected to be MPs, represent our constituents and stand up to the government. That's what our priority ought to be and we need to get on with it."
In this week's reshuffle several MPs who quit the shadow cabinet in the summer in protest at Mr Corbyn's leadership returned to the fold.
In other appointments, deputy leader Tom Watson was appointed shadow culture secretary and Jon Ashworth became shadow health secretary. John Healey returned to housing and Diane Abbott became shadow home secretary.
Labour's new shadow cabinet in full
In his letter to Labour MPs, Mr Cryer said the PLP in early September voted "overwhelmingly" for the return of elections to the shadow cabinet.
"This led to negotiations involving myself and the then chief whip, Rosie Winterton, and people from the leadership team," he wrote.
"As far as Rosie and I were concerned, the talks were held in good faith with the aim of striking an agreement which would allow some places to be filled through elections while the leader would retain the right to appoint others."
Mr Cryer said it then became clear on Wednesday that a reshuffle was under way, which "had not been discussed or mentioned" during the talks.
"It now seems to me that the party's leadership did not engage in the talks in any constructive way," he added. "Obviously, I deeply regret this turn of events."
Ms Winterton was sacked as part of the reshuffle.
But a spokesman for Mr Corbyn, who was re-elected as labour leader in September, said shadow cabinet elections were still to be considered by the party's national executive committee.
Labour's former home secretary, Alan Johnson - a former critic of Mr Corbyn - said he was still not up to the job of being leader of the opposition.
He told the Today programme "me and many of my colleagues" believed Mr Corbyn was not up to the job, adding: "Perhaps he'll prove me wrong."
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said while some of Mr Corbyn's critics had been welcomed back to the front bench, very few of his allies had departed.
The Labour leader's hold on his party's levers of power was firmer than ever, our correspondent added.
Davis Allen Cripe collapsed at a high school in April after drinking a McDonald's latte, a large Mountain Dew soft drink and an energy drink in just under two hours, Gary Watts said.
The 16-year-old died from a "caffeine-induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia".
He had no pre-existing heart condition.
The teenager weighed 90kg (200 lbs) but would not have been considered morbidly obese, Mr Watts said.
"This is not a caffeine overdose," Mr Watts told Reuters news agency.
"We're not saying that it was the total amount of caffeine in the system, it was just the way that it was ingested over that short period of time, and the chugging of the energy drink at the end was what the issue was with the cardiac arrhythmia."
Caffeine would probably not have been seen as a factor in the teenager's death if witnesses had not been able to tell officials what he had been drinking before his death, the Richland County coroner said.
The main witness could not say which brand of energy drink Davis drank but said it was from a container the size of a large soft drink.
"We're not trying to speak out totally against caffeine," Mr Watts said. "We believe people need to pay attention to their caffeine intake and how they do it, just as they do with alcohol or cigarettes."
The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) has warned against children and teenagers consuming energy drinks, saying their ingredients have not been tested on children and "no-one can ensure they are safe".
It says they have side-effects including irregular heartbeats and blood pressure changes.
Most energy drinks contain a caffeine equivalent of three cups of coffee and as much as 14 teaspoons of sugar, the AAP says.
Davis may have consumed about 470mg of caffeine in just under two hours, based on statistics from the website caffeineinformer.com.
It says a McDonald's latte has 142mg of caffeine, a 570ml (20oz) Mountain Dew has 90mg, and a 450ml (16oz) energy drink can have as much as 240mg.
In 2015, the European Food Safety Authority said drinking more than 400mg could lead to increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, tremors, nervousness, insomnia and panic attacks.
Caffeine is a stimulant. It acts on the body's central nervous system within minutes, increasing alertness and reducing sleepiness.
But it has other effects too. It can raise your heart rate and make you feel jittery or anxious.
And once you've drunk it, it will take hours to clear it from your system.
Having a few cups of coffee or other caffeinated drinks a day is considered perfectly safe. But drinking too much or lots in a short space of time is risky.
You can overdose on caffeine and it is possible to die if you ingest too much.
Up to 400mg of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of Coca-Cola or two "energy shot" drinks (although check the caffeine content of the beverage as it can vary).
Adolescents and pregnant women are advised to have less than this, though. Caffeinated drinks are unsuitable for toddlers and young children.
You may want to cut back on caffeine if you experience side effects such as:
Large animals like hippos, rhinos and the straight-tusk elephant all once lived in the UK but have disappeared.
Researchers think bringing back such bigger beasts could help aid recovery.
"Looking at which species are missing can help us understand which natural processes are not functioning," said Dr Chris Sandom from Oxford University.
Dr Sandom, who worked on the study, continued: "We propose the process of rewilding to help restore natural processes, like predation and pollination by insects."
Today in the UK we still have some larger herbivores but few big predators like lions.
Dr Sandom said: "In Britain today we have many medium sized herbivores like the red deer.
"In some places they're seen as a problem because they eat saplings, which prevents the regeneration of woodlands.
"Reintroducing predators like the lynx or wolf might be appropriate in some areas," he said.
It's an idea that has already been tried on a smaller scale - animals like beavers and sea eagles have already been reintroduced in parts of Britain.
But this study doesn't mean we'll have rhino roaming our countryside any time soon.
The scientists studied beetle remains and found there were a lot more dung beetles in Europe 120,000 years ago.
That suggests there were many more large herbivores roaming Europe before humans arrived.
After humans arrived in the UK woodland beetles were much more common, which suggests the big herbivores had gone.
The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The adventure seemed set to continue with a move to join Dutch Eredivisie side Roda JC Kerkrade.
But just four games into the campaign Church suffered a serious hip injury that wrecked his season.
The contrast of fortune could not have been more stark, as Church endured surgery followed by a lengthy rehabilitation.
"It's been a frustrating season for me off the back of last summer," said the 28-year-old.
"I had the opportunity to play in a different country, a different league and then four games in I had to have hip surgery.
"That ruined everything, ruined my plans... it was really, really frustrating.
"It's something [the hip problem] I've had over the years but I've never missed a day of training or a match through it.
"It's been niggling away in the background but I've always managed to get a hold of it to stop it getting in the way.
"But as soon as I went to Roda I didn't realise they played on astroturf and near enough half the teams [in the Dutch Eredivisie] play on astroturf.
"We were training in an artificial pitch every day and I think that was the main reason why, my hip couldn't really handle the impact of it.
"I remember playing against Feyenoord and after taking a shot I was in so much pain I couldn't carry on."
Scans confirmed the severity of the injury and surgery was followed by 10 weeks on crutches.
Roda allowed Church to stay home for three months to convalesce, before he returned to the Dutch club last January to continue his rehabilitation.
But with his one-year contract due to expire and Roda in the midst of a troubled takeover involving financier Aleksei Korotaev, Church left the club two weeks ago.
"It was was my decision to stop it prematurely because I'd worked so hard to get back as soon as I can... and be ready for the new season," Church said.
"I knew there's a lot of things going on at the club as well with the new owner, new manager, new staff and I knew straight away it wasn't something that I was going to be doing next year.
"We agreed to go our separate ways before the end of the season and I've managed to keep my fitness up, working hard and getting myself ready for whatever opportunity comes up next."
Church began his career at Reading, before signing for Charlton Athletic in 2013 and then MK Dons two years later, but was unable to command a regular first-team place.
The striker went on loan at the end of the 2015-16 season to Aberdeen, flourishing in the Scottish Premiership with nearly a goal every other game - the type of form that helped cement his place in the Wales squad for the Euro 2016 finals.
"The back of last season I went to Aberdeen, really had a good time and scored a lot of goals," Church said.
"Then in the summer was just amazing - to play in the semi-finals of the Euros was a dream come true.
"I want more of the same feeling and action from last summer, and I want to get back to playing at the top level."

Now Church, back to fitness, is eager to recommence his playing career and says there is good interest from clubs for his signature.
"There's a lot of talks going on with clubs... so I'm just keeping tight, keeping focused on staying fit," he added.
"We've had interest from back in England, which is nice, but also ever since I made the move abroad a lot more options have come up all over the place.
"But we need to sit down; I've got a young family so we need to figure out what's going to be the best for them, and what's going to be the best opportunity for me in my career.
"I'm 28 now so I need to get back to what I was doing. The last five years haven't gone as well as I'd planned, so we really need to make sure the next move is the right one.
"The clubs know I'm a free agent now, I'm feeling fit, I know I can play at Championship level. I haven't played in League One since I was 18 or 19 on loan a couple of times.
"I know what I'm capable of, I'm sure clubs know all about me now... and I'm still really hungry."
While a frustrated Church has looked on from the sidelines, Wales have struggled to repeat their success during the current World Cup qualifying campaign.
Chris Coleman's side sit third in Group D, four draws from their five games leaving them four points behind leaders Serbia - who they face in a crunch game on Sunday.
The last time Wales played in Belgrade in 2012 they suffered a 6-1 humiliation in a World Cup qualifier.
Church played every painful minute of that defeat but the 38-cap man does not believe there will be any repeat of that result on Sunday, even with leading scorer Gareth Bale suspended.
"That 6-1 defeat was probably the lowest point in a lot of our Welsh careers, we didn't really know where to go from there," said Church, who made his international debut in 2009.
"Where we are now from where we were then is two different places... we've just got to put that focus in and that comes from the manager, and the players know how to win games now.
"We've got players who can do something out of nothing all over the pitch and we've got great leaders as well.
"Everyone knows the team we are and the quality of our players, but we've had a bit of bad luck and obviously now expectations are so high.
"Expectations are we should win the group and sail through to the finals but it's never as easy as that and that's shown throughout the campaign.
"It was always going to be tough off the back of getting to the semi-final.
"We've got such a good squad but this campaign we've been hit with injuries and suspensions, and looking at the squad it's a chance for players to come in and show what they can do.
"It just shows the level of the squad that we are today, especially compared to the last time we lost against Serbia."
Wales boss Coleman has said this campaign will be his last as Wales manager and the 47-year-old is admired by Premier League clubs including Crystal Palace.
"It doesn't surprise me at all that he's linked with a lot of Premier League teams," Church said.
"He's a fantastic manager and someone who I've loved working with. He's given me the opportunity, he talks to you, tells you what he's thinking.
"He's a great man and the whole squad absolutely loves him and the staff, and it's a real pleasure - an honour - to be part of Wales.
"When you're training with the squad and the manager it's an amazing place to be."

Somerset are "still interested" in bringing back 36-year-old Gayle, despite his £4,900 fine for asking a reporter on a date during an interview.
The West Indies batsman was disciplined for "inappropriate conduct".
"If Somerset decided he was remorseful and wanted to sign him that would be no problem for me," said Shrubsole.
Somerset said negotiations to bring Gayle back to the club this summer are "ongoing".
He has been described as "box office" by the club's director of cricket Matthew Maynard, with Somerset selling out six of their seven T20 Blast games last year "essentially on the back of him signing".
Gayle, who scored 328 runs in three appearances for Somerset in 2015, is playing for Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Big Bash League.

He was answering questions from Network Ten's Mel McLaughlin at pitch-side in Hobart on Monday when he made the remark, also telling her, "Don't blush, baby", which was widely condemned as sexist.
Asked whether it would bother her playing for the same club as Gayle, 24-year-old Shrubsole told BBC Somerset: "No, not at all.
"It's Somerset's decision entirely as to whether they want him to come back or not. He was exceptional when he was here in those three T20 games and the amount of runs he scored was unbelievable."
Shrubsole, who will be part of the England women's squad for the tour of South Africa, said she felt his comments were "inappropriate".
She added: "The matter has been dealt with and Melbourne themselves have come out and punished him and I think the matter will be closed."
Described as a "tour de force" by the prize's organisers, the extension saw the gallery win the £100,000 Art Fund prize for museum of the year on 1 July.
The shortlist encompasses housing projects, a school, a university building and a cancer care centre.
This year's winner will be announced in central London on 15 October.
Four of the six shortlisted buildings are located in London, with the final contender in Lanarkshire.
The rebuilt Everyman Theatre in Liverpool won last year's prize, the highest accolade awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Alongside the Whitworth, this year's shortlist encompasses housing projects, a school, a university building and a cancer care centre.
Jane Duncan, president elect of Riba, will chair the Stirling Prize jury.
She said this year's entries were "careful" and "respectful of their communities" but missing the "flamboyance" of previous years, when the likes of the Shard were nominated.
Riba president Stephen Hodder, who won the inaugural Stirling Prize in 1996, said the shortlisted buildings were all "surprising new additions to urban locations".
"In the shortlist we have six model buildings that will immeasurably improve the lives and well-being of all those who encounter them," he continued.
The buildings, he said, were "well-executed... both internally and externally" and "game-changers that other architects, clients and local authorities should aspire to."
The six shortlisted buildings are as follows:
Built for Wandsworth Borough Council at a cost of £40.9m, Burntwood School is one of the final projects to be developed under the Building Schools for the Future scheme that was established by the Labour government in 2004 and axed by the Coalition government six years later.
According to the Stirling prize judging panel, the scheme "may have been based on a wasteful methodology but... did have at its heart a desire to improve the fabric and learning environments of all our schools".
The judges said "the relationship between the new concrete buildings and the older buildings adds a sense of architectural history and depth to the whole site".
"The architectural expression throughout is bold, characterful and adds to a sense of this being more like a university than a school."
Built for the Peabody Trust, this 13-home apartment building is one that "oozes care" according to this year's judges.
The £2.3m building, the judges said, is "a brilliant piece of urban design" with "pale honey" bricks that give the work "so much more character".
The panel singled out the building's stairwell for praise, suggesting residents "must feel a million dollars, like stars on an ocean liner" as they encounter its "graceful curves" and "elegant swooping hand-rail".
Built for the Maggie's cancer charity for £1.8m, the only shortlisted building not in England is described by this year's judges as "a truly memorable addition to a noble tradition of specialist health buildings".
The structure conveys "a sense of dignity and calm" and has a "surrounding perforate wall of hand-made Danish brick" that offers "a degree of separation" from the nearby Monklands Hospital.
The judges suggested the building's largest room might prove particularly suitable for "big groups of... stubborn working-class men who find it hard to talk about or even admit to their problem".
Another centre built in west London by the charity, which offers support to people with cancer as well as their families and friends, won the Riba Stirling Prize in 2009.
Built for £132m, the NEO Bankside development is "a group of exquisite towers" behind the Tate Modern gallery in London that is, according to this year's judges, "a well-mannered example of a structurally expressive architecture".
Praising its "intricate weaving of public and private space", the judges said the un-gated luxury development offers "seductive.... high-quality housing you would be unlikely to see elsewhere in the world".
"Overall the scheme has a scale and a richness that is appropriate... to this important part of London," the panel continued.
Built for the University of Greenwich, the shortlisted building houses the institution's main library as well as its architecture, landscape and arts departments.
The Stirling judges praised the £38.9m development's "frisky gravitas", its "remarkable" acoustics and windows that had been "carefully considered to take advantage of key views, vistas and reflections".
The end result, they concluded, was "a very public university building... that will inspire future generations of architects" as well as "a startling building to put in [a] Unesco World Heritage Site".
The Whitworth, part of the University of Manchester, underwent the largest physical transformation in its 125-year history in 2014 with a project that doubled the gallery's size and connected the building with its surrounding park.
According to the judges, "the new architecture emerges quite seamlessly as an integral yet individualistic part of the whole assembly."
Two weeks ago, the Whitworth was named Museum of the Year, with judges saying the redeveloped institution had "cemented its place at the centre of the cultural national stage".
The six shortlisted designs all adhere to the modernist mantra that form must follow function. There's no room for baroque flamboyance or arts and crafts individualism. From the Burntwood School in south London to the Maggie's Cancer Care centre in Lanarkshire - clean lines, geometric forms, and plate glass are the order of the day. No fuss, no nonsense.
The steel braces that form the external diagonal grids on a group of luxury housing blocks situated near Tate Modern are about as flamboyant as any of the designs get. Restrained elegance abounds. A new university building in Greenwich and a social housing development in east London - clad in stone and brick respectively - both feature sober facades punctuated by recessed windows.
Perhaps the most striking design is the glass and brick extension to the Whitworth gallery in Manchester, which has transformed an institutional-looking building into a modern, bright visitor attraction. It'd get my vote.
It has launched a petition against what it calls a "broadcast blackout", saying it increased its vote share and has the same number of MPs - one - as UKIP.
The BBC based its decision on new rules for how broadcasts should be allocated.
The BBC Trust guidelines highlight an "unexpected discrepancy" between the number of UKIP MPs and its vote share.
Party political broadcasts take place three times a year in England, Scotland and Wales and once a year in Northern Ireland.
The latest allocations were announced on Monday, with UKIP joining the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems in the list of parties being offered broadcasts in England.
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said she was "astonished" her party was being denied "vital broadcast coverage".
"We've grown as a party by more than three times in the last 12 months," she said.
"I'm starting to wonder what exactly it is that we need to do to convince the BBC to grant us fair representation."
The party said it would request an urgent meeting with the BBC and urged support for a petition on the 38 Degrees website.
The BBC Trust, which carried out a public consultation on the new criteria for inclusion, said the previous guidelines, set in 2012, "did not anticipate the anomaly arising from an unprecedented discrepancy between representation (seats) and share of the vote in the last general election".
It said this was particularly the case with UKIP, which could have missed out despite having a larger vote share at the general election than the Lib Dems.
In light of the promised in-out EU referendum, it added: "The BBC Executive considers that it could be an exacerbating factor if a party which was unambiguously in favour of leaving the EU was unfairly denied" party political broadcasts.
In Wales, Plaid Cymru is also included, and in Scotland the list is made up of the SNP, Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems.
In Northern Ireland broadcasts have been offered to the Democratic Unionist Party, Sinn Fein, the Ulster Unionist Party, the SDLP and the Alliance Party.
He said Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire councils would have the amount they pay towards the total £745m cost of the bypass, and A90 upgrade between Balmedie and Tipperty, capped.
It means the Scottish government will pay 81% and the councils 9.5% each.
The 28-mile bypass is expected to be completed in 2018.
The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) was given the green light by Scottish ministers in 2009 but it has been delayed by legal action. Work is expected to begin in 2014.
Mr Brown made the funding announcement as he unveiled the shortlist of bidders for the contract.
Four consortia will compete: Granite City, North East Roads Partnership, Scotia Roads Group and Connect Roads.
Mr Brown said: "The benefits of the AWPR and Balmedie are clear, with the scheme expected to deliver 14,200 jobs in the north east and boosting the economy to the tune of £6bn over the next 30 years.
"After years of delay, we should not underplay the need to ensure the pace in delivering this vital project continues."
The A90 scheme will see the busy stretch between Balmedie and Tipperty in Aberdeenshire become a dual carriageway.
It will provide continuous dual carriageway between Aberdeen and Ellon, aimed at improved safety and faster journey times.
Al Ahly and Zamalek have both made offers that the Rugby Park side would accept for their leading scorer.
Coulibaly was granted permission to join his agents in Egypt to consider moving from Scotland.
Last week, Killie rejected a £500,000 bid from Zamalek for the 22-year-old former Tottenham trainee from the Ivory Coast.
Arriving as a free agent after a season at Peterborough, Coulibaly signed a three-year deal with the Scottish Premiership club in the summer.
He has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for Lee Clark's side.
A team of US and Austrian researchers found that urbanisation could increase emissions by up to 25% in some developing nations.
However, industrialised countries could see emissions fall by about 20% as a result of ageing populations.
The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In their paper, they also showed that slowing population growth could deliver up to 30% of the cuts deemed necessary by 2050 to prevent dangerous climate change.
"If global population growth slows down, it is not going to solve the climate problem," said lead author Brian O'Neill, a scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (Ncar).
"But it can make a contribution, especially in the long-term."
According to the UN Population Division, the average annual global growth rate peaked at just over 2.0% between 1965 and 1970.
Since then, it has been steadily falling and currently stands at about 1.1%. By 2050, the UN projects that it will have fallen to an estimated 0.3%.
In contrast, the number of people over the age of 60 is increasing, and the UN predicts that it will almost triple, from 737m in 2009 to in excess of two billion by 2050.
'Not surprising'
Until now, most scenarios contained population projections but none had considered the "demographic influences" on emissions, the scientists wrote in their paper.
Although the scientists highlight what they see as the importance of including demographics in emissions scenarios, Dr O'Neill said it was not surprising that it had not been a key concern.
"When you set out to develop emissions scenarios, what you want to focus on are the factors that you anticipate will make the biggest difference," he told BBC News.
"Therefore, most scenarios have focused on alternative economic growth rates and alternative futures in terms of technological development."
Using UN-derived data, they developed a computer model that took into account population, environmental and technological factors, such as:
"When a population ages faster (as a result of people living longer and reduced fertility rates), emissions turn out to be less than they otherwise would be," explained Dr O'Neill.
"Although it is true that older households - for example - don't travel as much, we find that the dominant effect is that older [people] are less likely to be working.
"This reduced contribution to the labour force means that the overall economy grows more slowly. As a result, the overall use of energy within the economy goes down, and emissions go down."
As for the impact of urbanisation, Dr O'Neill added that urban households were, generally, less energy intensive that rural ones.
"The fuel choice, or electricity availability, is pretty much the same in rural areas as it is in urban areas, but what is different is that people maybe live in smaller houses or an apartment in cities, and if they have a car then perhaps they do not drive it as much."
Glow of the city
However, he added, urbanisation was a major source of greenhouse gases when an indirect effect on productivity was considered.
"Overall, we find that when countries urbanise, the labour supply is more productive, meaning that it contributes more to the growth of GDP.
"People are working in sectors that contribute more to economic growth, which increases energy demand, which increases emissions."
The UK-based Optimum Population Trust, a charity that is concerned about the impact of population growth on the environment, believes the Earth is already being stretched beyond its carrying capacity.
It says that the optimum human population - one that can be sustained in the long-term - is closer to three billion people.
Responding to the paper, chief executive Simon Ross said: "We welcome this analysis of the links between global population dynamics and... climate change.
"We believe this paper supports our assertions that reproductive health is an environmental issue, as well as a humanitarian and developmental one," he told BBC News.
However, he said a lower population growth alone would not be enough to prevent dangerous climate change.
"We need a combination of even lower population growth, reduced per capita consumption and better use of technology," Mr Ross observed.
"Assuming average global per capita consumption will continue to rise over time, [this] will require population to actually decline over time from current levels."
Writing in the paper, the scientists - which included researchers from the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and Austria-based International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis - said the findings highlighted the importance of understanding population dynamics.
"Greater attention should be given to the implications of urbanisation and ageing, particularly in key regions of the world, including China, India, the US and the EU," they concluded.
"Better modelling of these trends would improve out understanding of the potential range of future energy demand and emissions."
She said she wanted to consult with other parties to find ways of creating "a parliament with teeth".
The Holyrood election on Thursday saw the Tories become the main opposition party in the Scottish Parliament.
The SNP plans to rule without a formal coalition deal after falling two MSPs short of an absolute majority.
Ms Davidson said a minority administration would provide an opportunity to hold the SNP "in check".
Her suggestions include ensuring the conveners of certain committees come from opposition parties, and for opposition party spokesmen and women to be given greater opportunity to question ministers.
She said: "I said during the election campaign that we would press for a parliament with teeth. Before the new parliament gets under way, we have an opportunity to act on that.
"Too often during the last parliament, bad laws were swept in thanks to the SNP majority. Now they are a minority administration, it puts parliament back in control.
"Some simple reforms now need to be considered - and I want all opposition parties to find common cause in putting those forward.
"We can hold the SNP in check - and ensure better government and a stronger Scotland as a result."
The Conservatives secured 31 MSPs in the vote, overtaking Labour which was left with 24. The number of SNP MSPs fell by six, to 63.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, whose party finished in fifth place behind the Greens, said opposition to the SNP needed to be "far wider than a narrow Tory agenda".
"On issues like tax there is more that unites the Tories with the SNP than divides them," he said.
"And on issues like justice they are more likely to chase cheap headlines than push for reforms which help cut offending and reduce the number of Scots who are imprisoned.
"On education there is no indication that they will press for the urgent investment that is required to make our schools the best again."
A number of senior Labour figures have rallied behind Kezia Dugdale, saying she should stay on as Scottish leader to rebuild support.
Former Labour first minister Lord McConnell praised Ms Dugdale, despite the "terrible" result for his party.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "When Kezia took over last year as leader, she was a breath of fresh air. She remains a breath of fresh air.
"I think her demeanour during this campaign, her relentless focus on the most important issues for people in Scotland and the ways she's conducted herself during the campaign - and since Thursday night, to be honest - is exactly what I want to see in a leader of the Scottish Labour Party."
Former Labour special advisor Paul Sinclair said Ms Dugdale was the party's "last chance" to save itself from oblivion" - although he was critical of her strategy during the election.
Writing in the Scottish Daily Mail, he said: "Labour needs a new story for Scotland. And it will only be able to craft one if it stops speaking to itself and truly listens to the concerns of Scots."
Glasgow City Council's Labour leader Frank McAveety said Labour needed to provide a coherent message on the constitution and suggested embracing the idea of a "federal Britain".
"That would be home rule for Scotland in a federal Britain," he wrote in the Daily Record. "The other parts of the Union would get equal powers for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"The House of Commons would be the federal chamber to which the home rule parliaments would send delegates.
"The precise details need working out - but if everything stays the same, we are tobogganing downhill to an independent Scotland and the break-up of the UK."
Currently there are about 500 British troops in the country, providing security in Kabul and training at the Afghan Officer Academy.
The BBC understands the request was made within the last few weeks.
Nato's secretary general Jens Stoltenberg is due to meet Theresa May at Downing Street on Wednesday and is expected to discuss the subject.
The request for more troops comes as the US considers increasing its military presence in the country.
The US military and state department are recommending sending at least 3,000 more US troops to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, US media report.
There are 13,000 Nato troops currently in the country, 8,400 of them US.
US combat operations against the Taliban officially ended in 2014, but special forces have continued to provide support to Afghan troops.
The UK was involved in the conflict in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al-Qaeda for 13 years, from 2001 to 2014.
The last UK combat troops left Afghanistan in October 2014, but 450 remained in order to train, advise, and assist local Afghan forces.
In July another 50 were sent to aid counter-terrorism efforts and provide leadership training.

The timing of the request may not be great for Theresa May ahead of the election. But it won't come as a huge surprise.
The US military have made no secret of their wish for more troops in Afghanistan. Barack Obama resisted the pressure. President Trump appears to be more willing to give his commanders a free reign.
If the US increases its military presence then it expects allies to do the same. It is, after all, a Nato-led mission, at least in name.
The MoD has received a formal request, but no numbers have been mentioned. One defence source expected that any increase would be small - between 10% and 20% of the 500 British troops already there.
Also expect caveats as to what they will do - and where they'll be deployed. No one in the MoD wants a repeat of Helmand.
Last month, the Taliban announced the start of their "spring offensive" a week after killing at least 135 Afghan soldiers in a military compound near the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif.
The group said it would use military and political tactics and that its main target would be foreign forces.
On Saturday Taliban militants seized a district just a few kilometres to the west of Kunduz in their continuing attempts to take the northern city. Thousands of families have been forced to leave their homes.
Latest reports suggest the Taliban now also control the main road to the east of the city which links the province to the north-east and is also the main supply route for the capital, Kabul.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "The UK keeps its contribution in Afghanistan under regular review to ensure it remains suited for the needs of the mission."
A Nato official told the BBC US authorities had written to the military alliance to ask about the future of its presence in Afghanistan.
The official added: "Allied leaders will consider future contributions at our meeting in Brussels later this month, and the issue will be examined in further detail by defence ministers in June."
A Nato source said they did not expect the secretary general to mention specific numbers in his meeting with Mrs May on Wednesday.
Yusuf Ahmed, Syria's envoy in Cairo, said the plan "reflected the hysteria of these governments".
The EU on Monday backed the Arab League's "bold" plan but Russia said violence must end before any peacekeepers could be sent.
Meanwhile the UN General Assembly has started a debate on the Syrian crisis.
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay, who has been sharply critical of the actions of President Bashar al-Assad's government, is later set to address the assembly in New York.
The Arab League said it was ending all diplomatic co-operation with Syria, and promised to give "political and material support" to the opposition.
The League's moves come a week after Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Syria, which would have endorsed a previous Arab League peace initiative.
The EU backed the League's peacekeeping plan on Monday.
Michael Mann, spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said: "We welcome these bold decisions and the strong and clear commitment and leadership that the Arab League is taking to resolve the crisis in Syria.

The Arab League decisions to halt all economic and diplomatic co-operation with the Syrian government may intensify the pressure and isolation for Damascus.
But the call on the UN Security Council to pass a resolution to set up a joint UN-Arab League peacekeeping operation is unlikely to bring swift results.
Any such move needs a ceasefire which does not exist, and which Syria would not accept because it would put rebels and government on the same footing.
It would also require a consensus at the Security Council which is not there. But the league's decisions give its members political cover for backing and financing the Syrian opposition. Syria already accuses some Arab states of paying and arming the rebels.
The appearance on the scene of al-Qaeda further complicates the picture as opposition activists strive to appear as peaceful victims of state oppression.
"The EU's first goal is an immediate cessation of killings and therefore we are very supportive of any initiative that can help achieve this objective, including a stronger Arab presence on the ground in co-operation with the UN to achieve a ceasefire and the end of violence."
He added: "We renew our urgent calls on all members of the Security Council to be constructive and act with responsibility at this crucial moment."
Russia said on Monday that it was studying the plan but that it needed "clarification".
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there had to be ceasefire in place before any peacekeepers could be sent.
"But the problem is that the armed groups that are fighting the Syrian regime do not answer to anyone and are not controlled by anyone," he said.
China, meanwhile, said Syria's problems needed to be resolved by diplomatic means.
Foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said: "China hopes all relevant parties can keep dialogue and communication to play a positive and constructive role in politically resolving the Syrian issue and easing the country's tension."
Speaking while on a visit to South Africa, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "I don't see the way forward in Syria as being Western boots on the ground, in any form, including in peacekeeping form, but of course if such a concept could be made viable we will be supporting it in all the usual ways."
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Cairo says the new Arab League resolution contains its toughest language on Syria so far and makes it much more likely that the issue will return to the Security Council.

The fact that it is considering these moves shows the extent of the Syrian regime's isolation, our correspondent adds.
He says it remains to be seen whether Moscow will continue to lend its support to its old allies and trading partners.
The League's resolution also formally ends the observer mission it sent to Syria in December. It was suspended in January amid criticism that it was ineffective in the face of continuing violence.
The head of that mission, the controversial Sudanese General Mohammed al-Dabi, had submitted his resignation on Sunday.
Earlier, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri backed the Syrian uprising in a video message, telling the opposition not to rely on the West or Arab countries for support.
There have been reports that US officials suspect al-Qaeda involvement in two deadly blasts in the second city of Aleppo last week.
Meanwhile, fresh violence in the Syrian city of Homs was reported on Monday.
"Tank shelling has been non-stop on Baba Amr and the bombardment on al-Waer [district] began overnight," activist Mohammad al-Hassan told Reuters.
Activists say more than 400 people have been killed since security forces launched an assault on opposition-held areas on the city this month.
Human rights groups say more than 7,000 have died throughout Syria since last March. The government says at least 2,000 members of the security forces have been killed combating "armed gangs and terrorists".
Syria restricts access to foreign media and it is not possible to verify casualty figures.
Gorka Marquez needed dental surgery after two of his lower jaw front teeth were badly chipped when he was attacked by a gang of youths in November, a Strictly spokesman said at the time.
Mr Marquez did not make a formal complaint to police about the incident.
Lancashire Police said the force had checked CCTV from the area in Blackpool and found nothing.
A spokesman said the force had "carried out a proportionate investigation which is now closed" and "no arrests" were made.
The programme's makers said it was up to Marquez or his representatives to comment on the closure of the investigation.
Speaking at the time of the alleged assault, a Strictly spokesman said the 26-year-old Spaniard was in the Lancashire resort for a live edition of the show when he was the victim of an "unprovoked incident".
Mr Marquez was reportedly on his way to a nightclub with colleagues after filming the show's annual broadcast from Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
He was said to have been getting out of a car when a "random group of lads" ran past and assaulted him.
Mr Marquez tweeted his fans after the incident saying it was "a bad experience" but he was "feeling better".
The dancer made his Strictly debut in this year's series and had been partnering EastEnders actress Tameka Empson, who plays Kim Fox in the BBC soap.
They were eliminated in the second round but he has continued to appear in the programme as part of the weekly group routines.
Mr Marquez also stepped in to dance with singer Anastacia in week five when her partner Brendan Cole was ill.
He represented Spain at the World Latin Championships in 2010 and has toured internationally with stage show Burn the Floor, according to his biography on the BBC website.
Mr Marquez will appear as part of the group routines on Saturday's grand final show when the winner of the glitter ball trophy will be chosen.
Lindsay Rimer, 13, from Hebden Bridge, disappeared on 7 November 1994.
Two canal workers found her body, weighted down with a stone, in the Rochdale canal five months later. Her killer has never been identified.
Andy Glover, from Mytholmroyd, was checking for debris when he spotted something in the water.
He said: "We thought that it was a sheep.
"As we pulled it towards us, the body rolled in the water. There was no mistaking who it was, we saw the strands of hair on her face and knew we had found Lindsay Rimer."
Ms Rimer left her home in Cambridge Street at about 22:00 GMT and met her mother at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge.
The last-known sighting of her was caught on CCTV 20 minutes later as she bought cornflakes on Crown Street.
Her body was recovered a mile upstream from the town centre in April 1995.
"I got home late that day, and my wife was asking where I had been and why I hadn't phoned," Mr Glover said.
"I just said, 'We have found her.'
"I didn't need to say who, she knew instantly I was talking about Lindsay."
"It has stayed with me, it always will," he added.
In April, West Yorkshire Police said a new DNA profile had been identified which it hoped would lead them to identify the killer.
Det Supt Simon Atkinson, from West Yorkshire Police, said: "We are still waiting for that one 'golden nugget' that leads us to Lindsay's killer and hope that the person who knows what happened will come forward to help us solve the case, and bring closure to the Rimer family."
The visitors took the lead after only three minutes as Nicky Ajose chipped the ball into the area and Lauri Dalla Valle fired past keeper Ben Alnwick.

Monday 18 June 1984 was the most violent day of the year-long miners' strike.
Thousands of pickets met huge lines of police - who were brought in from all around the country - outside the Orgreave coke works near Rotherham.
The miners wanted to stop lorry loads of coke leaving for the steelworks. They thought that would help them win their strike, and help protect their pits and their jobs. The police were determined to hold them back.
There was violence from both sides.
The debate goes on about who acted first, but police horses were sent to charge the crowd up the field and officers followed to make arrests. Many miners and police officers were injured.
The pictures of miners and police officers fighting shocked TV viewers.
The number of officers was unprecedented. The use of dogs, horses and riot gear in an industrial dispute was almost unheard of. Some of the tactics were learned from the police in Northern Ireland and Hong Kong who had experience dealing with violent disorder.
During the subsequent court case a police manual was uncovered which set out the latest plans to deal with pickets and protests.
Police vans and Range Rovers were fitted with armour so they could withstand the stones being thrown by some in the crowd. The miners suspected the whole operation was being run under government control.
Many believe Orgreave was the first example of what became known as "kettling" - the deliberate containment of protesters by large numbers of police officers. It marked a turning point in policing and in the strike.
It was the moment the police strategy switched from defensive - protecting collieries, coking plants and working miners - to offensive, actively breaking up crowds and making large numbers of arrests. In many mining communities faith in the police was destroyed, a legacy that lasts to this day.
There were questions in court about the reliability of the police evidence. Many of the statements made by officers were virtually identical. At least one had a forged signature.
Eventually the case was thrown out and the arrested miners were cleared.
The miners felt they had been set up.
They believed the intention that day was to beat them and make arrests, a show of force that would convince them they were not going to win.
That left a bitter legacy of hatred and distrust of the police in many mining communities.
The police said they were just doing their job in the face of violence from striking miners. The strike lasted until March 1985.
Hundreds of mines closed afterwards and many miners faced redundancy. Even the Orgreave coke works itself has now gone. Houses and a business park are now gradually taking over the site.
The IPCC's decision will disappoint the campaigners who say they want "justice". But they say this is not the end. They will carry on campaigning for a full public inquiry into the way the police behaved throughout the year-long dispute.
The Sunweb rider, 22, won the sprint ahead of Frenchmen Arnaud Demare and Bryan Coquard on the 175.5km stage from La Tour-de-Salvagny to Macon.
Belgium's Thomas de Gendt retained the overall lead, 27 seconds ahead of Australian Richie Porte.
Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky, the defending champion, is sixth, still one minute four seconds behind.
Thursday's stage was the last opportunity for the sprinters before the race heads to the mountains for the final three days.
"It feels really good. I'm super happy that everything worked out today," said Bauhaus.
"At the Giro d'Italia, I came close to the podium twice. Now with the support of the team, I take the biggest win of my career so far."
Stage six takes the riders 147.5km from Villars-les-Dombes to La Motte-Servolex.
The Dauphine ends on Sunday and will be the final competitive outing before next month's Tour de France for many of the riders.
Froome is aiming to win the Tour for a fourth time this summer, with each of his previous victories in 2013, 2015 and 2016 preceded by winning the Dauphine.

A team of researchers speculates that this could have been Homo erectus, which lived in Europe and Asia a million years ago or more.
Meanwhile, the researchers report that they have also obtained the most complete DNA sequence ever from a Neanderthal.
Details of the work appear in Nature journal.
Finds at Denisova cave in Siberia have deepened our understanding of the human groups living in Eurasia before modern humans (Homo sapiens) arrived on the scene.
The Neanderthals were already well known, but DNA analysis of a finger bone and a tooth excavated at the cave revealed evidence of a human type living 40,000 years ago that was distinct both from Neanderthals and modern humans.
When this work was published in 2010, the team behind the discovery dubbed this human species the "Denisovans" after the Siberian site.
The Neanderthal toe bone was found in the same cave in 2010, though in a deeper layer of sediment that is thought to be about 10,000-20,000 years older. The cave also contains modern human artefacts, meaning that at least three groups of people occupied the cave at different times.
A high quality genome sequence was obtained from the small bone using techniques developed by Prof Svante Paabo and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and it reveals some interesting insights about both the Neanderthals and other human types.
For example, the researchers say, the Neanderthal woman was highly inbred and could have been the offspring of half-siblings who shared the same mother.
Other scenarios are possible though, including that her parents were an uncle and niece or aunt and nephew, a grandparent and grandchild, or double first-cousins (the offspring of two siblings who married siblings).
Comparisons of the genetic sequence of multiple human groups - Neanderthals, Denisovans and modern humans - yielded further insights into their evolutionary relationships.
The results show that Neanderthals and Denisovans were very closely related, and that their common ancestor split off from the ancestors of modern humans about 400,000 years ago. The genome data reveal that Neanderthals and Denisovans diverged about 300,000 years ago.
But it also threw up a surprise result: that the Denisovans interbred with a mysterious fourth group of early humans that were living in Eurasia at the time. Between 2.7 and 5.8% of the Denisovan genome comes from this enigmatic species.
This group split from the others more than a million years ago, and may represent the early human species known as Homo erectus, which fossils show was living in Europe and Asia a million or more years ago.
But Spanish researchers also recognise a species known as Homo antecessor, whose fossils show up about a million years ago at the Atapuerca site, near Burgos in Spain, and this may be another candidate.
Though Denisovans and Neanderthals eventually died out, they left behind bits of their genetic heritage because they occasionally interbred with modern humans. The research team estimates that between 1.5 and 2.1 percent of the genomes of modern non-Africans can be traced to Neanderthals.
Denisovans also left genetic traces in modern humans, though only in some Oceanic and Asian populations.
About 6% of the genomes of Aboriginal Australians, New Guineans and some Pacific Islanders can be traced to Denisovans, studies suggest.
The new analysis finds that the genomes of Han Chinese and other mainland Asian populations, as well as of Native Americans, contain about 0.2% Denisovan genes.
"The paper really shows that the history of humans and hominins during this period was very complicated," said Montgomery Slatkin, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley.
"There was lots of interbreeding that we know about and probably other interbreeding we haven't yet discovered."
As part of the study, Prof Slatkin's colleague Fernando Racimo was able to identify at least 87 specific genes in modern humans that are significantly different from related genes in Neanderthals and Denisovans.
This, the researchers say, may hold clues to behavioural differences distinguishing us from early human populations that died out.
"There is no gene we can point to and say, 'this accounts for language or some other unique feature of modern humans'," Prof Slatkin explained.
"But from this list of genes, we will learn something about the changes that occurred on the human lineage, though those changes will probably be very subtle."
According to Prof Paabo, the list of genes "is a catalogue of genetic features that sets all modern humans apart from all other organisms, living or extinct".
He added: "I believe that in it hide some of the things that made the enormous expansion of human populations and human culture and technology in the last 100,000 years possible."
The Ulster Bank's monthly Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) tracks indicators such as new orders and employment.
Local firms continued to report rising levels of activity in May, but "a significant slowdown has been in evidence".
It also points to a "marked deterioration in business conditions" for the construction sector.
The bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said a slowdown in the construction market in Great Britain "appears to have hit local firms hard".
Northern Ireland's largest construction firms do the bulk of their work in England and Scotland.
Mr Ramsey said the sector had seen its steepest decline in new orders since November 2012.
He added that the general slowdown across all sectors is likely to continue into the third quarter of the year.
"Much will depend on macro issues, including the performance of the UK economy and the forthcoming referendum on the UK's membership of the EU."
Scotland international Martin, 28, has been on loan at Fulham this season, but in December indicated a desire to return to the Rams.
"I spoke to Chris. The general feeling is he wants to come back," Rowett told BBC Radio Derby.
"He's contracted to the club, he's coming back. He's a player I think the team has missed."
Martin was allowed to leave Derby last summer by then manager Nigel Pearson and has gone on to score 11 goals in 31 appearances for Fulham.
However, after Steve McClaren returned as Rams boss, Martin tried to cut short his loan deal, only for Fulham to refuse - and in a further twist to the saga, he signed a new contract at Pride Park in January.
Speaking on BBC Radio Derby's Sportscene programme, Rowett said: "At this moment in time, Chris Martin is our player and I fully expect him to be here next season."
Rowett, who has taken charge of seven games since succeeding McClaren last month, reassured supporters he had been given free rein by chairman Mel Morris to reshape the team - but warned there would be no lavish spending.
"I've got carte blanche to change whatever I need to change," Rowett said.
"I think we can get one or two in potentially, before we get some out.
"But when you've spent a lot of money on a lot of players and it hasn't quite borne the fruit of promotion then you're going to have to be a little bit more sensible.
"We're going to have to reduce what we're doing a tiny bit but I don't think that's going to affect the type of player that we can bring in."
In a wide-ranging phone-in with supporters, Rowett also spoke of the frustration at being without long-term injury victims Craig Forsyth and George Thorne.
Defender Forsyth ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in August after missing the majority of last season with the same injury, while midfielder Thorne suffered a double leg break last May.
"They are hopefully on the mend and coming back," Rowett, 43, said.
"Craig Forsyth has been involved in training and done really well but George is a little bit further behind.
"They're both really committed to getting back and if we can have both of them fit for the start of next season then straight away the team looks to have a stronger, more powerful and more technical edge to it."
The Dumfries and Galloway authority said this week it was no closer to agreement over the items' future.
A spokeswoman for NMS said it believed it had put forward a "mutually beneficial and positive proposal".
The Scottish Archaeological Finds Allocation Panel (SAFAP) is to meet to discuss the hoard's future on 23 March.
The treasure was discovered by a metal detectorist in Galloway in 2014.
Dumfries and Galloway Council wants to house it in a new art gallery being built in Kirkcudbright.
NMS is also bidding for the artefacts and a spokeswoman said it had been in talks with the local authority since last summer.
"We have proposed a collaborative approach which guarantees the long-term display of a significant and representative portion, and, for specific periods of time, all of the Galloway hoard in Kirkcudbright Art Gallery," she said.
"It is disappointing that the council has not accepted what we believe is a mutually-beneficial and positive proposal."
She said the hoard was of "considerable national and international significance" and they had applied to acquire it "on behalf of the nation".
"As part of our proposals, NMS would take on the significant obligations of ensuring it is conserved, fully researched and appropriately cared for in the long term," she said.
"The hoard would also be shared widely with the public through display in Dumfries and Galloway, across Scotland and the rest of the UK and internationally."
South Scotland MSP Colin Smyth has urged the Scottish government to intervene to allow the hoard to be housed in Kirkcudbright.
"The council are right to be sceptical over any offer from NMS," he said.
"When they closed the Museum of Costume at Shambellie House we were promised all sorts from them in terms of local exhibitions and that hasn't really materialised."
He said it was up to the government to show that NMS was interested in "more than the central belt".
"Having a display of such international importance permanently on display in the region will allow us to market the exhibition properly, which you won't be able to do if it is left up to NMS to decide if and when any part of the hoard is displayed locally," he said.
"Displaying the hoard in Kirkcudbright would also be a huge boost to the local economy by attracting more visitors which you simply wouldn't get if the hoard is on display in Edinburgh, lost among the many other displays".
Gibson won best director for World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge, a sign he has been accepted by the industry a decade after an infamous anti-Semitic rant.
Portman won best actress for Jackie, in which she portrays Jacqueline Kennedy after John F Kennedy's assassination.
The event styles itself as the start of the awards season, but is regarded with scepticism by some industry observers.
Winners were announced in advance with no nominations. Many of the winning films have not yet been released and an anonymous panel chooses the recipients.
But that did not stop an A-list crowd turning up to the ceremony, which was compered by TV host James Corden - although he did joke at one point that they were "fake awards".
The night was also peppered with references to Tuesday's US presidential election.
"Tonight is actually rigged," Corden told the audience at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, referring to Donald Trump's complaints about the election. "Literally, none of this is real."
He also joked that it was "the last awards show before the apocalypse".
Robert De Niro, who won the comedy award for the film The Comedian, compared Mr Trump to the "totally insane" General Jack D Ripper from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove.
He said: "It's two days until a frightening election. The shadow of politics is hanging over us whether we like it or not.
"It's hard for me to think about anything else so let me lay it out right here. We have the opportunity to prevent a comedy from turning into a tragedy. Vote for Hillary Tuesday."
Tom Hanks won the best actor award for the film Sully, in which he played Captain Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed a passenger plane on New York's Hudson River in 2009.
Nicole Kidman won the supporting actress award for Lion, while Hugh Grant was named best supporting actor for his role in Florence Foster Jenkins.
He was presented with the award by Andie MacDowell, his co-star in the 1994 film Four Weddings And A Funeral.
Addressing her on stage, Grant said: "I'm just depressed at how much better preserved you are than I am after 22 years. Do you use any special creams or anything like that?
"It's amazing. You're still a southern peach and I am, according to Twitter, a scrotum.
"I almost never get a prize and I'm so pleased with this one. It will not be in my loo or used as a doorstep."
British actress Naomie Harris received the breakout actress award for her work in Moonlight, while Lily Collins, the daughter of singer Phil, was given the New Hollywood award for Rules Don't Apply.
Awards season kicks off in earnest when the Golden Globe nominations are announced on 12 December, and will culminate with the Oscars on 27 February.

It is a pretty tempting job. The successful applicant will be in charge of preserving the site of one of the world's most iconic monuments.
That person may as well be me.
The job advert asks for at least five years' experience managing archaeological sites.
Well, I have five years experience visiting sites. If outsiders with little experience can be elected to lead countries, why can't they also be chosen to run ancient monuments?
The first thing to do is come up with a pitch.
One potential idea is to rebuild the entire Colosseum.
The pyramids in Egypt have not fallen down. So why should Rome have to live with half a Colosseum?

Visitors to Roman Colosseum, Palatine and Forum complex in 2016

My first campaign stop is with tourists visiting the site.
"Don't touch anything," warn Jocelyn and Tamaya, students from North Carolina.
"Don't you want to see what it would have looked like?" I ask.
"There are digital models online which show what it would have been like. So just keep this," they instruct.
"Do you not think it's iconic to leave it as it is?" asks Stan from Manchester. "It's like when we went to Egypt, they were redoing the Sphinx. In some ways it spoils the effect of what it should be."
So rebuilding turns out to be a bad idea. I change my job pitch from rebuilding to listening.
What needs fixing at the Colosseum?
"The process of entering through security can be slow and occasionally discourteous," says tour guide Agnes Crawford. "The turnstiles very often don't work properly. The people who are manning the turnstiles have the patience of Job because it's a thankless task with a lot of slightly cross people."
Opera singer Andrea Bocelli cheered everyone up when he sang at the Colosseum. The turnstiles were probably working that day.
Another idea has caused something of a controversy: renting the site to private firms.
"When one considers that the Colosseum saw 450 years of people being killed, I think the occasional corporate dinner seems fairly small beer in comparison," says Agnes Crawford.
Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini will have the final say over the Colosseum's new director.
Nerve-wrackingly, my final appointment is with him.
"We're looking for people with a strong background - archaeologists, art historians, architects, who also have experience managing a cultural site or a museum," he tells me.
"Naturally, if you want to manage the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum, which receive six million visitors a year, you need the scientific knowledge but also the management experience.
"I think in the art world nationalities don't really count. The director of the National Gallery is an Italian, who arrived there from El Prado in Madrid. The director of the British Museum is German. So it's normal that what counts are the CVs, not the nationalities."
I seize my chance.
"Minister, you've opened this up to outsiders, a lot of people will put in applications coming in with new ideas, I will put an application as well. Are you open to hearing from outsiders?"
There is a slight pause before he answers.
"Well, we have job requirements to be admitted for the selection. When we recently chose the directors of the 20 top museums in Italy we received 400 applications. The selection did more than 100 job interviews. It will be similar this time. So you can definitely apply, but to win you need to fulfil the requirements."
It was an elegant way of saying "don't give up the day job".
The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission dropped the robot onto Comet 67P in November 2014.
Scientists tried to land the robot several times but there were problems landing.
When it finally settled, its exact location wasn't clear but images and data suggested it was sitting at an awkward angle, in the shade.
This meant that the robot, which is powered by solar energy, was unable to charge properly.
The lander did send back some information but the last contact was in July 2015.
The comet is now travelling into a much colder part of space, with temperatures below -180C.
Philae was never designed to operate at these temperatures so the chances of getting any more data are slim.
Scientists are now focussing on landing the Rosetta space craft on Comet 67P in September. | The University of Derby has submitted plans for a new £12m extension.

Students and police clashed at the National Institute of Technology in the summer capital Srinagar, with police baton-charging students.
The mood had soured after India lost to West Indies in the World T20 cricket semi-final on Thursday.
Non-Kashmiris say local students cheered as India lost, stopping others from unfurling the national flag.
Campus authorities had to suspend classes amid security concerns after clashes broke out between the two sides.
Paramilitary police have now been deployed to maintain order.
Many people in the territory - especially in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley - do not want it to be governed by India. They would prefer to be either independent or part of Pakistan.
The territory has been the spark for two of the three India-Pakistan wars: the first in 1947-8, the second in 1965.
Classes resumed this week but on Tuesday night the non-Kashmiri students attempted to march out of the campus and were stopped at the main gate by police.
"The students assaulted policemen including officers and started throwing stones," a police spokesman told BBC Hindi.
"This resulted in damage to public property. The police chased the mob and some of the students got injured."
Twelve students were injured in the police baton charge. Students accused police of confiscating the national flag they were carrying.
Classes resumed on Wednesday but many students have been boycotting classes in protest.
Some of the non-Kashmiri students have issued a letter to the university, saying they face discrimination and demanding that India's national flag be hoisted at the institution, alongside the Kashmiri state flag.
Education Minister Smriti Irani has sent government officials to the campus, and pledged to ensure a safe environment for students.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh said he had also sought assurances from the state's newly appointed chief minister Mehbooba Mufti over the issue.
The incident comes two months after the student leader of India's premier Jawaharlal Nehru University was arrested on "sedition" charges for allegedly chanting "anti-national" slogans.
The arrest sparked protests and a debate on nationalism in India.
He was freed on bail in March but the government has stuck to its stand that it will punish "anti-national elements". | Tensions are high at a university in Indian-administered Kashmir following a row sparked by a cricket match. | 35,978,487 | 511 | 32 | false |
In particular, I focused on the way that the campaign was ignited when undergraduates (in Manchester and other places) expressed their disquiet about what they were being taught.
Notably, they complained about what they saw as the lack of engagement with the real world, and the financial crisis of 2008 and onwards.
Well, the people who do the teaching say I did not make it clear that they are also concerned about the teaching of economics, and they are taking action to change it.
Here's a follow up to my comments, from Wendy Carlin, professor of economics at University College London (UCL). She is leading a project called Core, standing for Curriculum Open-access Resources in Economics.
It is a group of people seeking to reform the undergraduate economics curriculum.
Andrew Haldane, chief economist to the Bank of England says: 'It is time to rethink some of the basic building blocks of economics."
He is not alone in saying so. Many professional and academic economists agree. And teachers of economics in universities all over the world are on the frontline of this reform.
The events of 2008-9 led economists - like everyone else - to reflect on the role the subject had played in creating the conditions for financial crisis.
It prompted efforts to broaden the curriculum, and question what had become an approach to teaching economics disconnected both from real-world problems and from current economic research.
One example is the Core project, involving academics and teachers around the world.
Since 2012 we have been at work creating a broader, less theoretical curriculum.
Students looking for economics teaching that deals with financial crises, the contributions of thinkers from Hayek to Marx, and issues like inequality, the environment and innovation, will find these subjects are already on our courses.
In the UK the Core course is being taught at universities including UCL, King's College London, the University of Bristol, and Birkbeck. Universities abroad such as Sciences Po in Paris, Sydney University, and Dartmouth College in the US are also using it.
Students also study Core in economics departments from Bangalore to Bogota, including 2,000 students on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
For many years economics textbooks and courses mostly excluded the experience of developing countries. For example, they omitted the importance of access to credit, or the economic role of co-operation as well as competition, partly because their textbooks were created in London or New York.
So our collaborators are not just translating the course into French, Spanish, Hindi and other languages; they are integrating local examples to make the course relevant to everyone who wants to study economics.
The solution to the problem of a narrow, abstract curriculum might seem obvious. But our experience holds some lessons for others working to the same end.
One is that it is not easy to create a coherent course encompassing "Marxism, Schumpeter, classical, Austrian, Keynesian, behavioural, developmental economics", while also teaching students how to use those ideas to solve practical problems, such as how to improve access to financial services for people on low incomes, or what the effect on the global economy of a decrease in the price of oil might be.
Another big obstacle to change, in our experience, is the dominance of a few prominent textbooks. Teachers short of time will use lecture material they are familiar with, and the automated tests provided by the publishers.
Getting them to shift to a new way of teaching economics - however gripping for students - will require excellent material, and also extras like test-banks to help lecturers make the switch.
We publish all our Core material online for free and provide resources for teachers and students. Students are among the creative voices telling us how we can do better: some are helping create the material we provide.
Our motto is: "Teaching economics as if the last three decades had happened."
Another obstacle to faster change, however, is that some economic and policy institutions - universities, government departments, central banks - are dominated by people who studied only, as Peter Day put it - "theoretical economic men or women who took rational, optimal, decisions".
Many see the need for change, although others do not, even after the financial crisis exposed the limitations of this approach.
The institutional barriers mean there is not a quick fix. But our work has already created a plural, practical, global economics course that produces better economists.
Many other economists are engaged in the same process of reform. Slow as it is, change is well under way. | There was an immediate response to my recent remarks on the "Rethinking Economics" movement that has grown to prominence in many university economics departments in the past few years. | 35,686,623 | 976 | 36 | false |

The world number 70 came recovered from a disappointing first set to win 2-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 in temperatures of 30C.
Konta, 26, looked on course for her first grass title on home soil, but struggled with Vekic's baseline hitting to lose the second set tie-break.
Vekic, 20, edged a tense decider to win her second WTA title, ahead of the start of Wimbledon on 3 July.
"All credit to Donna, she was continuously able to raise her level all throughout that match," said Konta, who has never gone past the second round of Wimbledon.
Speaking to Eurosport, she added: "I was not able to stay with her. Full credit to her for playing incredibly well.
"But I'm very happy that I got to play five great matches on the grass. For Donna and I, heading into Wimbledon, we just want to play on the surface as much as possible."
The Croatian struggled with her nerves in the first set and she double faulted twice in the first game to hand the early initiative to Konta, the world number eight.
Konta broke again at 5-2 and served to take the set in 38 minutes.
The second set saw a rejuvenated Vekic find consistency with her serve and she began to trouble Konta with her deep returns.
Vekic broke early in the set but another double fault, she served eight in the match, saw Konta break back immediately.
As the set wore on, Konta became frustrated with the umpire's line calls and blamed the state of the chalk on the lines, for what she felt were incorrect decisions.
Konta's over reliance on the drop shot saw her struggle in the tie-break as Vekic forced a decider by taking the set in just over and hour.
The Croatian broke early again in the final set, but Konta regained her focus to level at 3-3.
Vekic's confidence fluctuated, but she held impressively to apply scoreboard pressure and then broke with some more strong hitting at 5-6, before serving for the title.
"It's pretty amazing. It's my first grass-court title and my second overall. I'm really happy," said Vekic. "Jo played amazing, she's having an amazing year, but I was just trying to focus on myself and serve as good as I can and be aggressive."
British Transport Police helped Great Western Railway (GWR) staff with some passengers on the London Paddington to Penzance service who refused to leave at Plymouth.
GWR provided another train to Penzance later on Good Friday and said the service had been busier than usual.
It said it was looking at ways to prevent a similar situation on Monday.
A spokesman from GWR said the 10:00 GMT service was "very busy" when it left London Paddington and it "picked up more passengers" as it travelled towards Penzance.
"Two services arrived at Plymouth ahead of the London Paddington service and terminated there, which resulted in a lot of people waiting to board this train.
"The train manager said the situation was unsafe and asked people standing right by the doors to leave."
He said police assisted staff as some passengers did not want to leave.
GWR said a further six carriages were added to a two carriage train that departed about one hour later and took passengers into Cornwall.
To emphasise, he blows out his cheeks.
"And then we saw the flames."
"We'd never seen anything like it before," says Waldemar de Jesus Lopez. "It all happened in just a few seconds."
In the moments after the forest fire started on Saturday afternoon, the people of Varzeas knew they had to act quickly.
Their village stands on a hillside, surrounded by woodland. Should they stay at home and risk getting caught by the flames? Or drive away in search of safety?
Mario Pinhal and his family fled in two cars. He took his parents and godmother in one car. His wife Suzana drove ahead with their daughters Joana and Margarida.
The family drove a short distance towards the nearest main road - the N236-1. The road is lined on either side by forest. On Saturday afternoon, fires quickly engulfed the trees and then, horrifyingly, the road itself.
Smoke and flames caught and killed dozens of people escaping in their cars, including Suzana, Joana and Margarida. Mario Pinhal and his parents, travelling behind, managed to escape.
"I regret leaving home," Mario Pinhal told Portuguese TV. "Regardless of everyone's kind efforts, all I want is to have my wife and daughters back."
"We should have died instead," Mario's mother cried to a relief worker. "Nobody would miss us. How can I explain that I will go to my granddaughters' funerals?"
Why are Portugal's wildfires so deadly?

The family's neighbour, Elisa Ferreira, stands in shock outside her own house. Like many older people in Varzeas, she stayed in the village during the fire. The decision saved her life.
"We were lucky," she says on the edge of tears. "Thank God we were lucky. But 14 people in this village died."
Nearby, a burnt-out car and trailer have been abandoned in the middle of the road. Smoke still rises from woodland next to the village.
Varzeas lies less than 2km (one mile) north of Nodeirinho, another stricken village in the path of the inferno that spread from Pedrógão Grande.
Survivors are trying to count which of their neighbours they've lost in Varzeas. In the main square, Sisaltina puts her hand to her head and takes a deep breath before she begins the toll.
"Two from here," she points across the road, "three, four, five…"
Towards the edge of the village, Mario Pinhal's home remains standing. There's soot around the flowerbeds. But the house itself appears undamaged.
It is a shattering monument to his family's decision to flee. If they had simply stayed put, they would all have survived.
The stowaways, who are believed to be from Vietnam, were found by Surrey Police as the cars were being carried on a car transporter through Egham.
Nine of those detained were transported to Dover, in Kent, and a juvenile was taken into police custody for social services to help.
The driver was not arrested. The cars had protective covers on the bodywork.
A police spokesman said officers were called to the Egham bypass at 13:00 BST on Wednesday.
He said: "The nine adults were arrested and a juvenile was detained on suspicion of illegal entry into the country.
"The adults were transferred to the UK Visa and Immigration centre in Dover and the juvenile was taken to a custody centre, as a place of safety, to await assistance from social services."
The former Europe minister - who backs Britain's membership - said the British people had to have their say.
He said he was "disappointed" Ed Miliband had not mentioned Europe in his big speech on Tuesday.
Mr Miliband has not ruled out a referendum but has said now is not the right time for it.
But Mr Vaz argued at the Fabian Society Fringe meeting in Brighton that this position was not sustainable, with the Conservatives promising a referendum in 2017 and a general election approaching.
"The party cannot duck this decision. I believe very passionately that we should have an in/out referendum and this should happen as quickly as possible," said Mr Vaz.
"It is not just about UKIP it's that the British people are as interested and concerned about Europe, as they are about the economy, as they are about immigration.
"And this cannot remain a Westminster village story.
"We have to trust the British people. They want the chance to have a say and we should give them the chance to have a say."
He praised Mr Miliband's conference speech as "one of the best" he had heard from a Labour leader, but he was still "disappointed" there had been no mention of Europe - and no opportunity to discuss the issue at conference.
"There hasn't been a debate, there isn't going to be any debate, on Europe. There was a speech by Glenys (Kinnock) but no real debate on these issues. I think that's a mistake.
"If we don't debate these issues, others will. So let's have a referendum, lets have it as quickly as possible and let's put our case to the British people."
The chairman of the home affairs select committee attacked the party leadership's current stance on the referendum issue, saying: "We simply cannot go to the British people and say to them support the European Union, we are going to reform it in the future. We have to set our stall now."
He also poured scorn on David Cameron's promise to bring powers back from Brussels before holding a referendum, predicting it would not happen.
He said that if the prime minister was re-elected in 2015 he would not have the time to hold bilateral meetings with 27 EU nations and those countries would not want to "indulge" Britain by taking part in "fake renegotiations".
YouGov polling guru Peter Kellner warned "people around" Ed Miliband, who were contemplating a referendum pledge, that it would be a foolish move.
If Labour won the next election the vote would be held in mid-term, with what would probably be a Eurosceptic Tory leader, he argued, and that meant there was a good chance Britain would "end up leaving" the EU, something Mr Miliband did not want and would not be good for Britain.
He told the meeting the policy had been dreamed up by the Conservatives because they were "scared" of UKIP.
Labour MP Mike Gapes also made the case against a referendum, saying that if people wanted out of the EU they could vote UKIP and Labour's job was to make a "positive" case for Britain's continued membership.
But Lord Glasman, an academic whose "Blue Labour" philosophy was a key early influence on Ed Miliband's leadership, said a referendum was needed as it could lead to the return of "democratic self-government" in the UK.
Former Labour minister Graham Stringer also argued the case for a referendum, on the grounds EU powers had greatly expanded since the 1975 referendum.
The 24-year-old has agreed a two-year deal with the Sky Blues, who will be playing in League Two next season.

Ambulance workers called officers to an address in Station Road, Herne Bay, early on 7 May following the death of the 38-year-old.
A 41-year-old man from Herne Bay who was arrested on suspicion of murder a week later, and later bailed, was released without charge on Thursday.
A police spokeswoman said a report was being prepared for the coroner.
Small queues formed at polling stations, with voters saying the elections guaranteed stability.
The opposition and Western powers said the polls lacked credibility because of political repression.
Omar al-Bashir has been charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) with genocide over the Darfur conflict.
The 71-year-old president, who has been in power since 1989, denies the charges.
The African Union (AU) has rejected the ICC's attempts to have him arrested, arguing that Mr Bashir enjoys presidential immunity and therefore cannot be tried while in office.

How Sudan's election works
The BBC's James Copnall reports from Khartoum that there was a large crowd where Mr Bashir was voting, but most of them were journalists and security personnel.
Amjad Farid, spokesman for the Sudan Change Now protest group, said his wife Sandra Farouk Kodouda was detained on the eve of the polls as she went to address an anti-election rally.
The authorities have not confirmed her arrest.
Ahmed Sulieman, a university professor, said he was voting as it was the only way to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power.
"Many countries are suffering amid power struggles,'' Mr Sulieman told Associated Press news agency.
"I am here for the sake of stability and safety," he added.
Mr Bashir is being challenged by 15 little-known candidates, after the main opposition parties denounced the polls as a sham.
The UK, US and Norway have said in a statement that "an environment conducive to participatory and credible elections does not exist" in Sudan.
The three countries form a troika which has been trying to resolve differences between the government and opposition.
They were speaking in Beijing after visiting Pyongyang in what was billed as an attempt to promote dialogue.
"You cannot turn penicillin into a nuclear bomb," one of them said.
International sanctions on North Korea were further tightened this year after it claimed to have tested a hydrogen bomb and launched a missile into space.
The laureates' visit came as a rare party congress opened in North Korea, with leader Kim Jong-un hailing his country's "great success" in its nuclear advancements.
The event is widely seen as a chance for Mr Kim to cement his power, and South Korea urged the foreign delegation not to visit, fearing it would become a propaganda coup for the North.
"We didn't come to criticise them," said Aaron Ciechanover, who won a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2004.
"We really came to converse and to exchange dialogue with students."
On sanctions, he said "you cannot turn penicillin into a nuclear bomb... You don't pressurise via making people sicker".
Foreign visits to North Korea are carefully monitored and public access to information such as the internet strictly limited.
Nobel laureate for medicine Sir Richard Roberts said he was "quite impressed" with what North Korean scientists had achieved despite sanctions.
"This embargo is really hurting the scientists and that's a great shame," he said.
The visit was organised by the Vienna-based International Peace Foundation (IPF) and also included Nobel laureate for economics Prof Finn Kydland, Prince Alfred of Liechtenstein and IPF chairman Uwe Morawetz.
The latest sanctions, approved by the UN in March, included export bans on materials used in nuclear and military production as well as restrictions on luxury goods and banking.
A resolution stressed the new sanctions were not intended to have "adverse humanitarian consequences" for civilians, many of whom face financial hardships and shortages of food.
The plight of Syrian refugees was among the many causes for which Mrs Cox campaigned.
It was an issue for which she worked tirelessly as she routinely called for Britain to do more to help those caught up in Syria's civil war.
Perhaps this is a reason why Syrians have expressed their grief, adding to the growing voices of those paying tributes on social media.
Shortly after the news broke, the White Helmets, a group of volunteers for the Syrian Civil Defence tweeted their sadness:
BBC Arabic social media producer Nader Ibrahim says: "Minutes after the sad news about Jo Cox was announced, Syrian activists took to social media to express their grief.
"This tweet by the white helmets, or the Syrian civil defence forces, is quite significant since they are literally on the ground operating inside."
Ibrahim adds that the sadness expressed from people in Syria for a British MP is significant. He says: "It is quite surprising to see Syrians, from inside Syria, in a war-torn country, with limited access in a lot of its places to the outside world, tweeting and talking about a British MP who is half way across the world.
"This is especially because a lot of Syrians feel like they've been let down by the West and the international community for not taking enough action to stop the war in their country. So to see them mourning a western MP is quite a thing."
Syrians living in Britain have also been vocal in expressing their sympathies.
Syrian activist Reem Assil is from Damascus and now lives in Cambridge.
She posted a tribute to Jo Cox on her Facebook page. It reads:
"Syria, Syrians and especially British Syrian NGOs have lost their best friend in UK Parliament today.
"Jo Cox has not only had a clear point of view when it comes to Syria, she was listening, compassionate, and above all, she was fighting with us for the protection of civilians and justice in Syria.
"Jo Cox, you're a big loss for Britain and for all of us. You'll never be forgotten and we promise to continue the fight for what you dedicated your life for."
Karim Jian is from Aleppo but now lives in Manchester. He says the death of Jo Cox has affected him and other Syrians deeply.
"She was one true advocate for the Syrian people. When Syrians think of a good British MP who we could always rely on, we think of Jo Cox.
"She was kind, honest, and had a good heart. She was the sole beacon of hope for people trying to flee a war zone. Her death saddens us all terribly.
"On behalf of all British Syrians, I would like to send our heartfelt condolences to her family and to the people of the UK as we have lost a truly inspirational woman."
Syria Solidarity UK posted a statement on their website, signed by a number of Syrian organisations. It states:
"Humanity lost a champion when Jo Cox was stolen from us.
"Syrian groups in Britain learned of her last year as a new MP prepared to speak up on Syria after two years of near-silence in the UK Parliament.
"Her view of the crisis was both moral and realistic, rigorous in seeking to understand what was happening, and clear in seeing what could and should be done."
The Syrian Association of Yorkshire released a press release which was shared on Twitter.
Michael Piggin, 18, is alleged to have planned attacks on targets in Loughborough, Leicestershire, including a mosque, a cinema and a school.
The trial was shown a video of the teenager spray painting hate messages and hurling a Molotov cocktail bomb.
He denies two Terrorism Act charges but admitted having explosives.
In the latest video shown to the trial at London's Old Bailey, Mr Piggin is seen spraying "No more mosques!" on a wall of Loughborough leisure centre on a path at the back of the building.
Another video shows him lighting a rag stuffed into a bottle full of fuel, commonly known as a Molotov cocktail, and then throwing it against the same wall.
The jury was told that at the time up to 12 children were using a creche in the building, which has an outside play area.
In the shaky video, Mr Piggin, who has Asperger's Syndrome, is seen walking over to the bomb and inspecting the flames, which lick up the wall of the leisure centre.
He can be heard saying "we are the URA, we just done a Molotov". Earlier in the hearing, the jury was told "URA" stood for the Urban Revolutionary Army.
Mr Piggin, of Beaumont Road, Shelthorpe, admits three charges of possessing explosives but denies possessing articles for a purpose connected with terrorism and having a document containing information likely to be useful for committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
He also denies possessing the Mujahideen Poisons Handbook, which is banned under terrorism laws.
The trial continues.
Police were called to the Parkway Sports and Social Club in Plymouth on Sunday after about 15 people were reported to be fighting in a bar.
"A number of people suffered minor injuries following the brawl," police said.
Two men, aged 23 and 29, and 24-year-old woman were arrested for affray and have been bailed to 23 May.
Club managing director Chris Carwithen said the fracas started in the bar after the event.
"There was an altercation that escalated out of control," he said.
"We are holding our own investigation and anyone involved will be banned for life. We don't tolerate that kind of behaviour."
Police said the fight broke out at 19:55 BST at the club in Ernesettle Lane. They are appealing for witnesses.
She had been scheduled to appear on a special election edition of Radio 4's Woman Hour alongside Home Secretary Amber Rudd and other political rivals.
But shortly before transmission, it was announced that shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry would take her place.
Ms Abbott had downplayed claims Labour wanted her to adopt a lower profile after several faltering performances.
During an appearance on Sky News on Monday, she rejected suggestions that the party leadership regarded her as a liability after an LBC interview earlier in the campaign when she failed to put an accurate cost on the party's plans to fund 10,000 new police officers.
She said she was appearing regularly in the media and it would be "strange" if she was not doing so at a time of heightened concern about security and policing after the terror attacks in London and Manchester.
Ms Abbott had been booked to appear on a specially extended edition of the flagship Radio 4 show, hosted by Jane Garvey, to discuss the terror threat and other issues. But Labour said she was unwell and Ms Thornberry deputised for her.
The Conservatives said Labour were "hiding" Ms Abbott away from voters as she was "not trusted" by Mr Corbyn, a close ally and friend of hers, and other colleagues.
On Monday, Ms Abbott was questioned by Sky's Dermot Murnaghan over the findings of a 2016 report by Labour peer Lord Harris into London's preparedness for a terror attack.
She insisted she had read the document but former terror watchdog Lord Carlile said her answers showed she was "not fit" to be in charge of home affairs policy.
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said it was not the first time that Ms Abbott, a seasoned media performer, had been absent at "key moments" and "cynics suspect some in Labour circles think Emily Thornberry would be a safer pair of hands".
In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed down 1.3% at 17,645.11.
Shares in exporters were hit as the yen strengthened.
A stronger currency is bad for the country's exporters as it makes it more expensive for them to sell their goods overseas.
Japanese investors were also wary ahead of the Bank of Japan's quarterly Tankan survey, due on Thursday.
Shares in mainland China headed lower after government data showed that industrial profits continued to decline in August.
Industrial profits were down 8.8% from a year ago, compared with a fall of 2.9% in July.
Investors are also awaiting both official and private manufacturing surveys for September on Thursday for insight into the depth of the slowdown in the world's second largest economy.
The Shanghai Composite fell initially, but then recovered to finish the day up 0.27% at 3,100.76.
Markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea were closed for public holidays.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index closed up 1.4% at 5,113.50.
Shares of telecom Vocus Communications fell more than 7% after it announced plans to buy rival M2 for $1.3bn (£855m) in a deal to create Australia's fourth-largest internet provider.
"You've got to ignore it," he told the BBC's Will Gompertz. "I've had negative reactions all through my career.
"I try not to take the nice things that people say seriously," he continued. "Then you can avoid the bad things."
The 46-year-old was speaking ahead of a retrospective at Tate Modern in London featuring highlights from his phenomenally successful career.
The exhibition features such works as his diamond skull, titled For The Love Of God, and the infamous shark pickled in formaldehyde, also known as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.
The retrospective, Hirst's first in the UK, opens to the public on Wednesday as part of the London 2012 Festival.
It launches amid accusations from Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman and others that he is more concerned with money than art.
Last month, art critic Julian Spalding suggested Hirst's pieces had "no artistic content" and would soon be "worthless financially".
The artist - one of the "YBAs" or Young British Artists to come to prominence in the late 1980s - has also faced criticism for using assistants to complete or realise his work.
'Money-grabbing'
David Hockney made comments in January which were assumed to be a criticism of Hirst's "production line" technique, although he later issued a statement stating he had not meant to "imply criticism of another artist's working practices".
Speaking to the BBC, Hirst admitted that selling his work was important but rejected suggestions he was "a money-grabbing show-off".
"As an artist, all I do is make an object for a single person to have a reaction to," he said.

"Hopefully you make something that will excite people - things they won't forget, that will wake up parts of their brain."
The Tate's highly anticipated show spans more than 20 years of Hirst's career at the forefront of conceptual art.
Works on show include A Thousand Years, in which flies and maggots feed on a cow's severed head, and In And Out Of Love, an installation comprising a room of live butterflies.
The artist said he felt "comfortable" with the notion of a retrospective, despite having resisted the idea in the past.
"Looking back is something I've avoided for quite a while," he said. "I like looking forward because the possibilities are infinite.
"When you look back it's all fixed so it's quite a weird thing to do. But once I decided to do it I've quite enjoyed it really."
Hirst said he was "in negotiations" with the Tate over donating some of its works after the exhibition closes in September.
The game, between BBC 5 live and Match of the Day, is being played in the snow and rain outside BBC MediaCityUK in Salford and ends on Saturday at 18:15.
Savage netted the first of 500 goals scored in the opening 24 hours.
All-time Premier League top goalscorer Shearer is captaining the Match of the Day team while ex-Wales player Savage leads the radio outfit.

Shearer is putting in a 09:15-21:15 stint on Friday after Savage played for 12 hours on Thursday.
After a gruelling 720 minutes of football, Savage said he "went all out early on" because he was "trying impress everyone."
"Well for the first three or four hours I was running around like I did when I was in the youth team, but then I remembered I'm over 40 and my legs started to hurt."
Shearer said "It was like rolling back the years with the old celebration, it was good to be back scoring goals again."
McFly's Danny Jones said he was "knackered" after enduring 11 hours on the snowy overnight stint in Salford, but added "the energy is amazing, everyone is playing football so well."
The game has seen current and former professionals like Joe Hart, Adnan Januzaj and Kevin Kilbane getting involved as well as celebs like hip-hop legend Fatman Scoop.
Man United's winger Januzaj was not impressed with persistent foul play by Scoop and sent him off.
"Did you see what the guy did to me?" Scoop protested, adding: "The guy puts a red card on me. I don't know what a red card is. Then everyone tells me to get off!"
About 1,000 people will play 30 minutes alongside the pundits.
The 57-hour duration of the epic encounter has been chosen since it is the equivalent of a Premier League club's entire season.
Since 2002, Sport Relief has raised more than £262m for disadvantaged people in the UK and overseas.

They called it Arabia Felix - Happy Arabia - because of its lush, rain-fed mountain scenery.
Today that epithet sounds tragically inappropriate.
Already the poorest country in the Middle East, wracked by soaring unemployment, dwindling oil and water reserves and home to the most dangerous branch of al-Qaeda, now Yemen is being torn apart by war of many sides.
The Saudi-led air strikes began last month, raining down precision-guided missiles on a rebel group called the Houthis who swept down from their mountain stronghold in the far north six months ago, taking town after town, and pushing out the UN-recognised President Hadi.
That alarmed the Saudis and the other Gulf Arab states, especially as they suspect the hand of Iran as being behind the Houthis' spectacular blitzkrieg.
How else, Saudis keep saying to me, could an impoverished group of tribesmen get the training, the weapons and the money to take over half the country?
There's a sectarian angle here too. The Houthi rebels are Zaidi Shias, representing about a third of the population. The Saudi rulers are suspicious of Shias, many of whom look to Iran for spiritual leadership.
Saudi Arabia is a predominately Sunni Muslim country and the Saudis are starting to think they're getting encircled by proxies of Iran wherever they look: in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and now Yemen.
Enough, they said, drawing a line in the sand. At a secret summit in a Saudi palace last month they threw together a 10-nation coalition in a belated and possibly doomed Gulf Arab attempt to turn back the Houthi takeover of Yemen and restore their ally to power.
But in fact the Houthis largely owe their military success to someone much closer to home. They've formed an alliance of convenience, a sort of pact with the devil, with the very man who tried to bomb them out of existence five years ago.
Ali Abdullah Saleh ruled first North Yemen, then a unified Yemen, for 35 years, until he was forced out of power by the Arab Spring protests.
He refused to believe that Yemen was better off without him. So he set about wrecking the peaceful political transition of power that Yemen's friends had worked so hard to engineer.
Whole units of the Republican Guard remained loyal to him, bombs went off and towns were fought over.
President Hadi who replaced him, an elderly, genial southerner, has been no match for Saleh's machinations. He must be rueing the day he agreed to let his predecessor stay on in Yemen.
I interviewed Saleh once, in his fortified palace in the capital, Sanaa. It did not go well.
Speaking in Arabic without a translator, I asked him what he wanted his legacy to be.
The unification of North and South Yemen, of course, he replied, this was his crowning achievement. I thought I would soften him up by asking what benefits this had brought, but the way I said it in Arabic came out as 'well what was the point of that?'
What? he barked, glaring at me furiously, summoning his official translator, and looking pointedly at his watch.
As president, Saleh fought six short wars against the Houthis until it ended in an uneasy truce. Now he's cynically using them to destroy those who he sees as usurping his power.
The Houthis are fierce, effective fighters, used to living on little in the black, volcanic mountains that straddle the Saudi-Yemeni border.
When I visited them in their stronghold city of Saada my girlfriend and I were woken on our first morning by a burst of heavy machinegun fire from a pickup truck outside in the street.
"It is celebration," said the man on reception, unfazed. Later we met a pair of brothers who took us out to the mountains to show off their skills with a Kalashnikov.
Chewing the narcotic qat leaf and racing across the desert in a beaten-up old car, they thought it was the biggest joke to swap places behind the wheel while driving at 60 miles an hour.
Their shooting was every bit as wild as their driving and before long a farmer emerged, shouting and cursing. "What the hell are you doing?" he said. "Bullets are coming down all around my sheep!"
I have no idea what dizzy heights those two rose to after that in Yemen's tribal hierarchy, but the Houthis and their allies are now in control of most of the important parts of Yemen, despite more than a week of airstrikes.
If those fail to dislodge them then the Saudis have not ruled out a ground invasion, but everyone knows that carries enormous risks of getting bogged down into a vulnerable army of occupation.
Instead, the Houthis face a more dangerous foe - the jihadists of al-Qaeda. The jihadists are Sunni fanatics and they hate all Shias, including the Houthis.
In Yemen, al-Qaeda seems to be the only force capable of confronting the rebels on the ground.
On Thursday, their ranks were swollen by a jailbreak of dozens of convicted al-Qaeda fighters. Soon they will be rallying the Sunni tribes to join forces and fight the Houthis from the North.
And all the while, the Americans look on from afar, in despair.
Until just a few weeks ago they thought they had a reliable partner in President Hadi. President Obama even held up Yemen as a shining example of a counter-terrorism partnership.
Now that partnership has crumbled to dust, and so too have Yemen's immediate hopes of emerging from this intractable nightmare.

Essex lost four quick wickets but Ten Doeschate and Foster went on to share a 215-run seventh-wicket stand.
The away side were eventually all out for 640 as Ten Doeschate was run out by Steven Crook for 145 and Foster fell next ball for 113 to Richard Gleeson.
Northants ended 56-4 and trail by 140 runs, with Rob Newton and Josh Cobb falling to Matthew Quinn for ducks.
Ten Doeschate's ton came off only 106 balls but Foster outscored his team-mate, taking just 85 balls to reach three figures with eight fours and three sixes.
Following the pair's explosive partnership, Northants' top-order crumbled, with Quinn trapping Newton plumb in front and bowling Cobb, while Rob Keogh fell lbw to Ravi Bopara.
Ben Duckett made a quick-fire 33 off 32 balls but Ashar Zaidi had him caught in the slips from his first delivery in the innings as Essex ended the day with victory in their sights.
The Enfield 8000 was built to woo drivers during the decade's oil crisis, but only 120 were offered for sale.
Motoring journalist Jonny Smith set a record of 11.27 seconds at 118.38mph, beating the previous 11.5 second record for a 1/4 mile dash.
The car, named Flux Capacitor, broke the record at Santa Pod Raceway on the Bedfordshire-Northamptonshire border.
Mr Smith tweeted: "Good news! Just set new record. So it is definitely the quickest street legal EV in Europe. I am extremely chuffed."
The high cost of building electric cars in the mid-1970s when technology was at an early stage killed off production.
The Santa Pod Raceway, which hosts drag racing and other high speed vehicle events, is based south of Wellingborough.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said an Assyrian commander had told it of the releases.
Some reports say the releases were made in exchange for a sum of money.
The kidnappings took place shortly before dawn on 23 February, when IS militants swept into about 12 villages.
Men, women and children from the villages, located on the southern bank of the Khabur river, near the town of Tal Tamr, were taken captive.
Correspondents say that news of the releases will provide some comfort to the Christian Assyrian community - which has been devastated by the abductions - even though there is concern for those still being held.
Assyrian Christian officials said that the 16 men and three women who were released arrived safely on Sunday at the Church of the Virgin Mary in the city of Hassakeh.
He said the 19 - all from the village of Tal Ghoran - had been transported by bus from the IS-held town of Shaddadeh, which is south of Hassakeh.
Some reports say that all those freed were about 50 or older, indicating that age might be a factor.
The Assyrian Human Rights Network said the captives gained their freedom after a Sharia court ordered them to pay an unspecified amount of money levied as a tax on non-Muslims.
Assyrian leaders and Sunni tribal sheikhs are trying to negotiate with IS to secure the release of the remaining captives, activists said.
It is estimated that up to 40,000 Assyrians lived in Syria - alongside the overall Christian population of 1.2 million - before the country's civil war broke out in 2011.
The Assyrians, one of the world's oldest Christian communities, have been under increasing pressure since IS captured large parts of the country.
Some 1,000 local Assyrian families are believed to have fled their homes in the wake of the abductions.

Almost every cycle which has been part of the Bike2Go project has been removed for "maintenance and overhaul".
Dumfries and Galloway Council said the bikes will be returned when the scheme is relaunched in conjunction with a similar project run by ScotRail.
The £155,000 scheme began in 2010, to encourage people get out of their cars, but it has suffered from low uptake.
It has provided bikes free of charge to subscribers at 11 locations across the town.
However three years after it launched, it emerged that the town's 42 bikes had been hired 2,270 times - a daily average of about two rentals.
It worked out at more than £60 per rental.
Stances at locations including Dumfries Railway Station, the Crichton campus and Heathhall are now standing empty.
A survey by BBC Scotland found just one cycle - at the King George V playing fields.
Sally Hinchcliffe, of Cycling Dumfries, called on the local authority to consult with local groups before relaunching the scheme.
The cycling campaigner said: "It's a shame that the bikes weren't more successful, but the few times we have used them in the past we found the rental system very clunky to use and sometimes it just wouldn't work at all, although most people who actually managed to rent one of the bikes enjoyed riding them.
"We hope that the relaunch will include discussions with local groups about how to make the most of the bikes - perhaps an on-street rental scheme isn't the best use for them.
"For instance, they could be integrated into Abellio's Scotland-wide bike hire scheme based at the station, or be made available to community groups for bike rides or loan bikes."
One subscriber to the scheme, Chris Henry, told the BBC he had hoped to use a cycle to travel from the Crichton to the railway station.
When he contacted the operator, Hourbike, he was told he could pick up a bike from Cargen Towers - a council building on the opposite side of Dumfries.
Mr Henry said: "I hadn't realised the significance of the name 'hourbike' is that you must walk for an hour, passing at least five empty bike stations, to locate a bike."
A spokeswoman for Dumfries and Galloway Council said there is usually very low usage of the bikes over the winter months.
She added: "We are looking to relaunch the Bike 2 Go scheme in the spring, in conjunction with ScotRail's launch of their national 'Bike and Go' hire scheme at Dumfries Station.
"We are working with ScotRail to source local maintenance and support for both schemes for the future, and it is therefore appropriate to postpone return of the bikes to their stances until the spring of 2016."

The month-long "Operation Orion" also resulted in 18 children being rescued, federal agents said.
Arrests were made mostly in the US but also took place in countries including Spain, Argentina, the UK and the Philippines.
The official in charge said many of the cases began with a child chatting with someone they had encountered online.
"Let this operation be a warning to anyone who would think they can use the internet to exploit children - we are out there looking for you, we will find you, and you will be prosecuted," Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton said in a statement.
The statement said
that Operation Orion focused on the production, possession and distribution of child pornography in videos and photographs.
Those arrested included a 35-year-old babysitter in Louisiana suspected of using a seven-year-old child to make pornography.
A 28-year-old man in Michigan was found to have more than 1,200 images and 109 videos of child sex abuse on computers and media storage devices, officials said.
Eight men were also arrested in Los Angeles, including one who met his alleged 12-year-old victim on the internet.
He was charged with enticing a minor to commit lewd acts after agents pretended to be the girl online and arranged to meet him at a shopping centre.
The ICE statement said that they had also "identified and rescued" 18 victims of child pornography.
No details were given of the arrests conducted abroad. The US Justice Department also listed Sweden, Serbia and the Netherlands as involved in the operation.
US Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said in a statement: "This operation uncovered a dangerous and depraved group of criminals who were devoted to trading sexually explicit images of children under the age of five."
The 28-year-old was taken off on a stretcher during Wales' 27-13 victory over South Africa on 26 November.
It was initially said the British and Irish Lion, who has been capped 60 times by Wales, was set to miss at least the start of the Six Nations.
"It has been confirmed surgery is required. He will not play again until next season," said a statement.
Lydiate missed the summer tour of New Zealand after injuring a shoulder during Wales' defeat by England in May.
In his absence, one of Ross Moriarty or captain Sam Warburton, whom Lydiate filled in for against South Africa, is likely to start at six for Wales. James King could replace him for Ospreys.
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign against Italy in Rome on 5 February.
In his first defence, home favourite Crolla absorbed a fast start from the previously unbeaten Venezuelan before taking control once his opponent tired.
An exhausted Barroso, 33, was counted out after sinking to the canvas following a right to the body.
"This is my house and nobody comes into my house and takes what I've got," said 29-year-old Crolla.
"I knew I could beat him. I told [promoter] Eddie Hearn that I'd beat him. It got my back up that people thought I'd avoid this fight."
Crolla has now won 31 of his 38 professional bouts, while southpaw Barroso, who had only gone beyond six rounds once before, slips to 19-1-2.
The Venezuelan attacked from the first bell, connecting with head and body shots as he tried to get the fight over as quickly as possible.
Roared on by a raucous crowd, the Mancunian stayed with him and began to take control in the fifth as the physical exertion started to tell on Barroso.
A cut appeared above the Venezuelan's eye and he slipped to the canvas in the sixth, although it was not ruled a knockdown.
However, he had nothing left a round later as the Briton sensed the opportunity to finish off his man.

Crolla added: "Barroso thought he would get me out of there after three rounds - and he did hit hard - but [trainer] Joe Gallagher got his tactics spot on.
"There was no way this title was leaving Manchester tonight. This might have just topped the night I won the world title for the first time."
Earlier on the Manchester card, St Helens super-middleweight Martin Murray prepared for his fight with George Groves in London next month with a second-round stoppage win over Belgium's Cedric Spera.
Murray, who has fought for a world title four times without success, faces Groves on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence on 25 June at the 02 Arena.
Meanwhile, Britain's Dereck Chisora failed to claim the vacant European heavyweight title as he lost a split decision to Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in Hamburg, Germany.
Pulev dominated behind his jab with Chisora, 32, only shaking Pulev once with a good shot in the sixth.
In an eliminator for Joshua's IBF title, two judges scored it 118-110 and 116-112 to Pulev while one bizarrely had it 115-113 for Chisora.
It was Chisora's sixth defeat in 31 fights while Pulev moves to 23-1.
The 35-year-old's only loss came when he was stopped by then world champion Wladimir Klitschko in November 2014.

The Tough Mudder race will see Rob Camm, from Breadstone, use a specially-adapted wheelchair to cross the woody and grassy terrain.
Mr Camm, 21, said: "I've been driving round the fields and the woods near my house to get used to driving off road."
His support team will cross obstacles like walls and tunnels.
Mr Camm, was paralysed in the car crash in September 2013 and was treated at Salisbury District Hospital.
Before his accident, he was a promising rugby player as well as being academically gifted.
Prior to the crash, he played for Dursley RFC and was about to start his degree at York University.
He said: "Whilst I was in hospital I got help from a number of different charities, one of which is Special Effect and that's why I'm doing this Tough Mudder Challenge.
"It was something I wanted to do before my accident, so I don't see a good reason why not to do it now and raise money for a charity that helped me so much."
It is thought Mr Camm is the first tetraplegic to take part in the course.
His wheelchair is similar to sitting on a quad bike, which he controls with his chin.
"I've always liked having a challenge to do - I'm no different now to how I was before, so just the challenge of it is going to be good fun."
The race is taking place on Sunday at Gatcombe, Gloucestershire.
Paul and Sandra Dunham, from Collingtree, Northants, were extradited accused of business expenses fraud and money laundering at the US company they used to work for.
The couple expected their trial to begin in Maryland this week but told BBC Radio Northampton they have been told the presiding judge is unwell.
The pair deny the charges.
Mr and Mrs Dunham have been on bail and are currently staying with friends in North Carolina who offered their house as collateral.
The bail conditions end on Monday and the Dunhams could be returned to the Chesapeake Detention Facility, where they will be jailed and kept apart until their trial.
Mr Dunham, 59, said the trial may not take place until the spring.
"Hopefully it will be heard sooner rather than later but the court does have a full schedule and also both our lawyers and the prosecutor have other commitments," he said.
"It's a combination of everybody trying to see where something could be scheduled to work.
"We are struggling with the pressure of it all still.... it's a very difficult time."
Matthew Leveson, 20, was last seen leaving a Sydney nightclub in 2007 with his then boyfriend, Michael Atkins.
Mr Atkins was acquitted of Mr Leveson's murder in 2009. He later made a deal giving him immunity from perjury if he gave information leading to the recovery of Mr Leveson's body.
Mr Leveson's family thanked relatives after the discovery was confirmed.
Police found the remains in Sydney's Royal National Park on Wednesday after scouring the bushland three times since November. DNA confirmed it was Mr Leveson, police said on Sunday.
His parents, Faye and Mark Leveson, laid flowers at the site last week.
"We have had to fight for nine-and-a-half years to get to this day to bring our son home," Mrs Leveson told reporters.
The couple visited the Royal National Park several times during the years spent searching for their son.
"Every time we were down there, they were down there," said Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin from New South Wales Police.
Under a deal struck with authorities, Mr Atkins was given indemnity from prosecution for perjury and contempt of court after he admitted lying at an inquest into Mr Leveson's death.
Former NSW director of public prosecutions Nicholas Cowdrey told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that the discovery of remains alone did not constitute "any evidence of an offence".
A coroner is yet to rule how Mr Leveson died.
Rea battled with Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes throughout Saturday's 20-lap race and two-tenths of a second separated the pair at the chequered flag.
The second race at the Buriram circuit will take place on Sunday.
Reigning champion Rea won the first two races of this year's championship at Phillip Island a fortnight ago.
The 29-year-old has accumulated a perfect total of 75 points and already enjoys a 23-point lead over nearest challenger Michael van der Mark (52), with Sykes third on 41 and Davies fourth on 39.
Pole position man Van der Mark took the final podium spot on his Honda, with Welshman Chaz Davies fending off the challenge of fellow Ducati rider Davide Giugliano to take fourth.
Sykes took the lead early in the race following an uncharacteristic error from Rea but the Northern Irishman regained his position at the front with four laps left, going under the Yorkshireman on the brakes into the last corner.
Former world champion Sykes made a last-ditch attempt to edge in front in the closing stages but was unable to get past the Isle of Man-based pacesetter, who set the fastest lap of the race at 1:33.936 on lap 14.
Szilagyi, 26, won 15-8 against American world silver medallist Daryl Homer, with South Korea's Junghwan Kim claiming bronze.
In the women's individual foil, Russia's Inna Deriglazova deposed reigning champion Elisa Di Francisca.
Deriglazova, 26, won 12-11 in the final against the Italian, while world number one Arianna Errigo lost in the last 16.
Tunisia's Ines Boubakri took bronze.

Conciliation service Acas confirmed discussions ended without the two sides reaching agreement and there are no plans to resume on Wednesday.
Southern's parent firm Govia Thameslink (GTR) said it had hoped to end the 10-month row over guards' roles on trains but were "saddened" talks had ended.
The RMT said the rail operator had blocked serious negotiations.
The bitter dispute centres on Southern's desire to turn guards into on-board supervisors. As such, they lose responsibility for opening and closing carriage doors, with that role falling to the drivers.
More on this story and other news from Sussex
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "It soon became clear that the only thing Southern were interested in was bulldozing through driver-only operation further and faster with safety and access to services not even on their agenda."
Describing the development as "dire news" for both staff and passengers who wanted a safe, reliable and accessible service, he said: "RMT's negotiating team is furious at the way this union and its members have been treated."
GTR's chief operating officer Nick Brown said: "The travelling public will find the union's obstinate refusal to engage in meaningful and constructive talks disappointing, disheartening and increasingly destructive."
He said conductors in the RMT transferred to the new on-board supervisor role at the beginning of last month, and the company had fully implemented its modernisation programme with the driver opening and closing the doors and a second person focused on customer service.
"Everyone is sick and tired of the RMT's strikes and their pointless and intransigent stance needs to stop," he added.
A statement issued by Acas said: "Conciliation talks have ended without the sides reaching agreement. Our services remain available."
Two unions - the RMT and Aslef - have been in dispute with the train operator.
Drivers' union Aslef reached a deal with Southern on 2 February. However, the RMT was not involved and called the agreement a "betrayal".
The Aslef deal includes details of circumstances when a train can be operated as driver-only, without an on-board supervisor.
About 900 of its members have been voting on whether to accept the deal, with ballot papers expected to be returned by Thursday.
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 said these were salary payments and subject to tax.
HMRC lost two tax tribunals before winning its case at the Court of Session earlier this month. Any appeal will be heard by the Supreme Court.
Announcing its decision, BDO said: "Following discussions with the company's legal advisers and the liquidation committee, the joint liquidators have filed an application seeking leave to appeal the Inner House of the Court of Session decision in respect of the EBT case.
"If the company successfully obtains leave to appeal, the appeal will be heard in the Supreme Court in London.
"The joint liquidators are not in a position at this stage to make any further comment in respect of the appeal."
Rangers' use of EBTs and the subsequent appeals by HMRC have become known as the "big tax case".
HMRC lost its initial appeal that tax was due on EBTs at a First Tier Tax Tribunal on 2012.
The decision was upheld at an Upper Tier Tribunal in 2014.
HMRC's third appeal, made earlier this year, was upheld in a decision issued earlier this month by Lord Carloway, sitting with Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young.
The judges ruled that if income was derived from an employee's services, in their capacity as an employee, it was an emolument or earnings and "thus assessable to income 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.
The victim, 19, was airlifted to hospital after a crash with a 4x4 vehicle on the A631 near Beckingham, Nottinghamshire, on 26 April.
James Smith, also 19, of Lincolnshire, admitted grievous bodily harm and dangerous driving but denied attempted murder.
A judge directed he be found not guilty of that charge.
The previous Islamist-dominated legislature was dissolved by a court ruling in 2012.
The following year, the then General Sisi ousted President Mohammed Morsi following massive protests against him and his Muslim Brotherhood party.
Egypt's new parliament has just 15 days to ratify over 300 new laws issued.
Newly elected MPs were sworn in on the first day. They were then due to elect a speaker and two deputies.
Parliament comprises 568 elected members and is dominated by an alliance loyal to President Sisi.
Sunday's session was supposed to be mostly procedural but it was disrupted by one outspoken member.
Murtada Mansour, a President Sisi supporter, at first refused to read the official text of the MPs' oath, before relenting and "hurriedly and casually" reciting it, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Mansour was angry at parts of the text endorsing the ousting of former President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, which some pro-government figures now see as a mistake, according to the agency.
This year will be the last Women's Prize for Fiction has the word Baileys attached to it.
The liqueur company, owned by Diageo, said it had "regretfully decided to make way for a new sponsor".
Orange sponsored the award for 17 years up to 2012 before Baileys took over in 2014.
The shifting nature of commercial partnerships means that book prizes can often change their names every few years.
It can just be a minor tweak - such as a simple change of prefix.
But sometimes well-known prize names can be rendered suddenly unrecognisable.
Up until 2015 the the most prestigious non-fiction prize was known as the Samuel Johnson Prize.
In 2016 it became the Baillie Gifford Prize to reflect a new sponsorship deal.
First awarded in 1999, it has also been known as the BBC Four Samuel Johnson Prize and then the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction.
The Costa Book Awards started out as the Whitbread Awards in 1971 and only became known by their current name in 2006. The overall 2017 winner is announced this week.
The best-known literary prize of them all, the Man Booker Prize, was founded by the Booker McConnell company in 1968. Investment company Man Group began its sponsorship in 2002 and retained Booker in the official title.
The Folio Prize is a new kid on the block in terms of book awards.
It was first announced as the Literature Prize in 2011 amid a row about the decision by Man Booker Prizes judges that year to focus on "readability".
It was the first major English language book prize open to writers from around the world.
Under the sponsorship of The Folio Society, its first £40,000 accolade was handed out in 2014. After the 2015 award, the Folio Society announced that it would not renew its partnership.
The prize took a year off in 2016 while it searched for a new sponsor and is back in 2017 as the Rathbones Folio Prize, with backing from Rathbone Investment Management.
Andrew Kidd, co-founder of the Folio Prize and of digital book club Alexi, knows all about the challenge of changing sponsor.
"We are a very young prize and we are still building public awareness," he says. "We haven't established ourselves enough to say we have a right to exist. We were born out of a particular moment."
During its year off it was decided to open the fiction prize to any literary genre, including non-fiction.
Mr Kidd says the search for a new sponsor wasn't as hard as he had expected.
"Because we waited until we had our own USP [Unique Selling Point] it was not that difficult at all. We had a compelling story to tell."
This year's winner will be announced on 24 May, with the Egyptian author Ahdaf Soueif as chair of the judging panel.
Its co-founder, novelist Kate Mosse, is, as you might expect, optimistic.
"We feel very confident about attracting a new sponsor," she told the BBC.
"We know that brands want to be associated with something that's inspirational... and we know customers like to be involved with companies that have some sort of social purpose."
Mr Kidd agrees: "Even when it was the Orange Prize everybody knew what it was. They've been so successful at building that unique brand that I would imagine it will be relatively easy to find a sponsor."
He said that having such a high profile advocate in Kate Mosse also puts them in a strong position.
"There's no question that there's an important place for a prize that focuses on female voices," he added.
"I would imagine that a lot of sponsors will be interested in associating themselves with something that has such a strong purpose."

Police formed a cordon round the building in Athens, before going from room to room to evacuate protesters.
Former employees have occupied the building since the government closed ERT and sacked its 2,600 staff in June.
Greece's conservative-led coalition said the state broadcaster cost too much to run in an economic crisis.
The closure of ERT prompted a left-wing party to withdraw from the governing coalition of prime minister Antonis Samaras in protest - a move which almost brought down the government.
The BBC's Mark Lowen, in Athens, says the question is whether the ERT affair again fuels social unrest here - and how much stomach the Greeks still have for a fight.
Following the announcement of ERT's closure in June, hundreds of staff refused to leave the building and continued to broadcast their programming via the internet.
But early on Thursday, Greek police arrived to secure the building in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb in the north of Athens.
Riot police used tear gas to disperse about 200 protesters outside the building, and then cleared each room inside.
One ERT journalist, Nikos Kourovilos, told the BBC by phone he had managed to evade police and was still inside.
"They are in the building, they have control, they put everyone out. The good thing is they forgot about me, because I told them I had to take my stuff and I will go," he said.
He said he was hoping to be able to make a broadcast later "because it's for democracy".
"We feel like we are Robin Hood… We are the voice of the people," he said.
Another member of staff told the BBC that once officers entered, it was fairly peaceful. Twenty or so workers were led out but three refused to go and were arrested.
The state-run Athens News Agency reported that Panagiotis Kalfagiannis, a journalist and head of the ERT employees' union, Pospert, was one of those held for public order offences.
ERT was Greece's only TV broadcaster until the advent of private TV channels in 1989.
Despite several major overhauls to keep up with fierce private competition, a fall in ERT's ratings in the mid-1990s triggered a long-running debate about its cost and efficiency.
In June, as Greece attempted to satisfy international creditors that it was fulfilling its debt restructuring and bailout commitments, the prime minister, Antonis Samaras, announced the closure of ERT.
He said the Greek exchequer could no longer afford to pay for a public broadcaster that cost 300 million euros ($406m; £252m) annually, and has refused to reinstate ERT unless it accepts a complete restructuring.
An interim TV station, called Public TV or DT, has been broadcasting in Greece since July while a restructured public broadcaster, called Nerit, is not expected to begin operating before 2014.
On Wednesday authorities in Valencia, a heavily indebted region of Spain, announced that the regional public broadcaster RTVV was being closed down to save money for other services including health and education.
Spanish unions have vowed to fight the closure. | Greek riot police have cleared the headquarters of the former state broadcaster ERT, using tear gas to gain entry and arresting several people. | 24,847,278 | 707 | 30 | false |
Wayne Rooney finally scored a league goal as Sunderland were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford, while Manchester City were hammered at Tottenham.
Newcastle found some belief - if not three points - in a battling draw with Chelsea, while Leicester and Arsenal entertained us in a seven-goal thriller.
But who were the standout performers? Here's my selection - do you agree?
Tottenham's win against Manchester City was largely down to the exploits of Hugo Lloris. His save from Raheem Sterling when Spurs were trailing 1-0 was world class and a turning point in the game. He went on to make another string of important saves, which served to strengthen the belief Spurs could win the match.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - if Tottenham have any chance of claiming a European spot this season, they will have to keep Lloris fit.
I remember this lad when he was trying to make a name for himself when he was on loan at Aston Villa. Injuries have mostly inhibited the progress the England international was making since his return to the Lane, but against Manchester City he looked commanding.
There was a moment in the first half when Walker refused to let Sergio Aguero get past him in order to attack the ball from a set-piece - much to Aguero's annoyance. It was that determination and presence that I detected when he was making his way into the England squad and it's nice to see it in his performances once again.
It was a brave decision by Jose Mourinho to again leave out John Terry for Kurt Zouma, but one that was totally justified. Yes, the youngster will make mistakes, a feature demonstrated when Chelsea conceded their first goal, however that is not the point.
Zouma is getting better with every game and Chelsea look like a team that no longer has to worry about pace in the opposition ranks. His sensational 50-yard pass to Eden Hazard was the trigger for Chelsea's success and resulted in Ramires's stunning goal. The point is, and unpalatable as it might seem for some, Zouma is the future and Terry is the past. Time, I'm afraid, catches up with all of us in the end.
As far as Premier League debuts go, I don't think Kevin Mbabu could have done any better. The 20-year-old was playing against Spain international Pedro, who for much of the game got nothing out of the youngster, which tells you all you need to know about the quality of this performance.
Last week on Final Score I questioned whether Newcastle boss Steve McClaren could manage as effectively as he could coach. The jury is still out for me but if he has the courage to play youngsters such as Mbabu, who are keen to prove themselves against the champions, at the expense of players who have been tried but are comfortable then I may have misjudged him.
When I pick a substitute for my team of the week you can rest assured he has had a massive impact on the game. I don't know who deserves more praise, Mourinho for making the change at such a crucial time in the match or Ramires for believing he could actually make the difference.
Ramires could have scored a hat-trick in a matter of minutes such was his impact after coming on in the second half, but it was his sensational strike that turned the game back in Chelsea's favour. Be warned Manchester United and Manchester City, I saw a second-half performance from the Blues that reeked of hunger and desire. This game might prove to be a defining moment in Chelsea's season.
What a revelation this holding position in midfield is proving to be for Eric Dier. Not only is he the first name on Mauricio Pochettino's teamsheet these days, he looks imperious in front of his two centre-backs. What makes this position so exciting, particularly if you're a Spurs fan, is Dier occasionally goes walkabout looking for goalscoring opportunities.
His finish against Manchester City, who played like a team feeling sorry for themselves in the absence of Joe Hart, David Silva and Vincent Kompany, was so well struck and so timely it left City reeling. An excellent performance by Dier against a team with lots of good players but no backbone.
It was always going to take a performance like this to unseat Leicester City. This was Alexis Sanchez and Arsenal back to their counter-attacking best. Quite frankly, I'm amazed Sanchez is playing like this at all.
This lad only finished playing football for Chile in the Copa America when players were reporting back for pre-season training.
Arsene Wenger may have wanted to give him more rest, but it is just as well he can rely on Sanchez. I can't see anyone else in his side he can put his title hopes on at the moment.
Bearing in mind all the speculation surrounding Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, and with his team facing an Aston Villa side also in desperate need of points, it was just as well Philippe Coutinho was on top of his game. The Brazilian prized open Aston Villa's defence almost at will, leaving Tim Sherwood facing his first managerial crisis.
Strange that, because if Liverpool had lost to Villa it would have been Rodgers facing a crisis. At least Coutinho's brilliant performance has bought Rodgers time to get Christian Benteke and Jordan Henderson fit again. With all of them available for selection, and Daniel Sturridge coming back to full fitness, they just might save him his job.
It is with some irony that I find Chelsea struggling at one end of the table and Manchester United on top. It would be remiss of me not to mention Juan Mata at this point; the man who Mourinho couldn't wait to get out of the revolving door at Stamford Bridge.
It has been Mata's consistent performances for the Red Devils under Louis van Gaal that have helped transform their season. Mata was instrumental in United's victory over Sunderland and should they win the title, his departure could prove to be Mourinho's final embarrassment.
And about time. No-one said his second season was going to be easy for Harry Kane but I can't help feeling he could help himself by just keeping the game simple. He had a wonderful opportunity to slip Christian Eriksen in on goal in the second half against Manchester City and ignored him.
It's so important, particularly when things aren't going well for you, to keep it simple. You could feel the Spurs fans breathe a huge sigh of relief when Kane scored a wonderful, instinctive goal. Title favourites City looked like a team playing together for the very first time and Kane took complete advantage of the situation like all good strikers should.
If you want to see a top-class finisher at work then you should look no further than Daniel Sturridge. He's been out with injury for an age but he's lost none of his predatory instincts. His first goal against Aston Villa was a volley taken out of the Paulo di Canio school of finishing.
However it was his composure and the sheer authority as he stroked his second goal past Brad Guzan that left me breathless. Rodgers knows exactly how to manage Sturridge's fitness levels and originally lost the player to injury while on international duty for England. A repeat of such an unfortunate mishap could cost Rodgers far more than the player's services this time around. | Another thrilling, goal-packed Premier League weekend saw Manchester United return to the top of the table for the first time in more than two years. | 34,374,335 | 1,699 | 30 | false |
Perhaps the first minister will get a better reception here than he feels he's had in London.
UK ministers think they have been very accommodating. Brexit secretary David Davis says they've "bent over backwards" for the devolved administrations.
And yet Mr Jones complained this week about letters to Downing Street going unanswered and the difficulty of arranging meetings.
He also put AMs on notice of a possible "constitutional crisis".
Today the UK Government has publish its European Union (Withdrawal) Bill - previously described as the Repeal Bill - copying EU regulations and pasting them on to the statute book.
As part of the "bending over backwards strategy" a draft copy has been sent to Cathays Park. But the Welsh Government is unimpressed.
At issue is what happens to powers returning to Brussels in devolved policies.
All sides say new UK-wide rules - on paying farm subsidies, for example - will have to be agreed upon.
But while the Welsh Government thinks the powers should come directly to Cardiff before talks start, the UK Government has talked about powers stopping off in London en route in a "holding pattern".
At least that was the plan before the general election. If the bill published today doesn't satisfy the first minister, he'll invite the assembly to withhold its legislative consent.
That would be a symbolic defeat for the UK Government, but Theresa May need not necessarily pay much attention. Such votes are not legally binding on Parliament.
Possibly of more interest is the Welsh Government's threat to publish a mini repeal bill for Wales - the Continuity Bill. This will transpose EU rules that apply to the assembly into Welsh law.
What will happen if the UK Government ignores the Continuity Bill and carries on regardless?
Mr Jones told AMs this week: "It's the issue of whether the UK Government and House of Lords particularly would see it as constitutionally proper to overturn legislation that's passed in this assembly, thus prompting a constitutional crisis."
If he pushes ahead - and a lot of preparatory work on a Continuity Bill has happened behind the scenes - Mr Jones will publish the bill in the autumn. He would also ask to change the Assembly's rules so legislation can be sped through before the repeal bill passes in Westminster.
As one of his aides put it to me, with so much work on their hands, why would UK ministers want to "pick a battle on the home front as well"? | I'm in Brussels for Carwyn Jones' meeting with Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, writes guest blogger Daniel Davies. | 40,593,136 | 561 | 35 | false |
